Wainscott Family

I have been anxiously awaiting an opportunity to shoot at these locations for a while now, and I'm SOOO excited that this sweet family wanted to go there too! We had a lot of fun, but the mosquitoes just about carried us away. I have never in my entire life seen such monster mosquitoes in one place! They were troopers though and emerged from the swarm unscathed {for the most part}. Enjoy. . .

Party Time!

If you're planning a birthday party, holiday gathering, or any other special event that you would want photographed . . . keep Sweet Southern Style in mind! I promise you'll be happy that you didn't stretch yourself too thin by trying to greet and socialize with your guests while also taking pictures the whole time. Who says the "hostess with the mostess" can't have a good time too?! ;-)

This group of friends gathered to celebrate a special man on his 40th birthday, and they know how to celebrate! There was not a detail overlooked by his uber organized and extremely creative wife. And I couldn't be happier or more grateful that I was invited to capture the festivities they shared with their closest family and friends.

What To Wear {Holiday Inspiration}

The cooler weather has us all a little frisky and thinking ahead to the holidays. I've found that putting together outfits for the entire family is often the most stressful part of having pictures taken. To help ease the pain a little, check out the holiday inspiration boards. All of the items pictured below can be found at Old Navy.

You may notice that these outfits were thought out with older kiddos in mind, so I'll be posting a few more inspiration boards as we near the holiday season. The main thing to remember is that you don't have to wear the exact same thing to look festive and coordinated as a group. Also, I recently joined Pinterest and added holiday inspiration boards there too. For those of you not familiar with Pinterest, beware because I've heard it's addicting :))

First Jolly Hollyday Session

Hooray for kicking off the 2011 Jolly Hollyday season!! I could not have asked for a better family and the locations were so much fun. . . plus working on their holiday cards puts me in such a happy mood. :)) Now I'm super excited for all the other Hollyday sessions to come!
