Joyce’s Maternity Session
Jan 29, 2012 | DeLaun | Center Stage, Everyday Photography, Just Bloggin', Portfolio | 0

Several months ago I talked about how one of my very favorite wedding couples called to announce they were expecting. Well, the day finally came where they were ready for their Maternity Photography Session. As you can see, Joyce is even more gorgeous pregnant than she was on her wedding day, and believe me, that’s saying A LOT! These two will make phenomenal parents. It turns out we did this session just in time since less than a week later baby Kaia arrived! Check back soon for the newborn photography session.

Hopeless Romantic…Baby Loving…Love Loving…Photographer in the House
Aug 21, 2011 | DeLaun | Everyday Photography, Just Bloggin' | 0

About 8 weeks ago I found out that one of my first wedding couples, and by far one of my favorites, is pregnant with their first child. When I say one of my favorites, I really mean it. This is the only wedding I’ve been to where I actually got teary eyed. Imagine it, we are in the middle of the vows and this foreign liquid comes rolling down my cheek. I was stuck somewhere between “Awwww, gotta love love…and…What the heck?! Dear God, am I actually crying?” But hey, I’m a proud card carrying member of the hopeless romantic club. The love between them was truly palpable and today it’s stronger than ever.

So, on with the good news. Not only was I one of the very first people they called, which just goes to show how I truly strive to become friends with my clients, they’ve asked me to do a maternity session for them. Now I have to wait anxiously until she is proudly showing. I’m incredibly honored and excited. This is what I love most about my favorite clients. They invite me into their lives to document their union & love, and then they honor me by asking that I document the growth of that love and of their family. For me, this is where lifestyle photographer meets lifetime photographer and friend.

Little Detective

This is one of my favorite images from a trip to the Atlanta Train Museum with a family that I love photographing. To this day I don’t know what little Tyson was looking at, but it clearly had his full attention seeing as he could not care less about the giant locomotive next to him.

In Awe…on his level and mine

I’m in awe of the magnificence of this church. Something so grand with so much detail is truly inspiring. Meanwhile, the little fella near the bottom of the frame is clearly more intrigued by the pigeon.

iPhone Series – Cozy and Toasty

It’s nice to sit around a bonfire with a bunch of friends and making up songs with some awesome guitar players. Tonight was a great night. Keeping us all warm was a fire that made a cool addition to my iPhone series.

So amazingly beautiful and yet so dangerous. Kinda like love. It keeps you incredibly warm, but if you aren’t careful it’ll burn you. That said. Just like fire, love is one of God’s greatest gifts. Enjoy and if it’s cold where you are…stay warm!

Love Locks of Florence Italy

Love Locks are a custom by which lovers symbolize their everlasting love by affixing padlocks to a fence or similar public fixture and then throw away the key. It’s a beautiful sentiment and the most famous place for this is Florence Italy. Until I saw this, I had never heard of a love lock. I love it! No pun intended…ok…maybe a little bit… Rock On Love…Rock On!

Strong Family – Beach Front & Center!
Apr 22, 2011 | DeLaun | Center Stage, Just Bloggin', Portfolio, Portraits | 1

Have you ever considered taking your family photographer along with you on vacation to document those special moments that mean so much to you. You might be surprised, but families really enjoy the freedom of being able to go on vacation and leave their camera behind. With your lifestyle photographer in tow, those special moments have you in them rather than behind a camera waiting for them to happen. On a recent cruise I went along with the Strongs to document the ultimate birthday celebration. Here are a few of my favorite beach front images.
