flip flops and converse… just like allie and i.

…and they said they were shy in front of a camera.  these were some of the first pics.  we weren’t even warmed up yet.  they rock.

i told them i drew that line just for them…  they admired it for like 5 seconds intently.

we stumbled onto an amazing vine wall, that i’m sure allie and i will be using in the future…  many times…  it’s amazing…  i need to stop with the “…”

not to embarrass you chris, but ashley owned you.

there were so many great spots. this alley is amazing.

the many faces of  ashley + chris.

we found this fake chalk outline (i hope) where someone was killed.  chris asked if he could lay in it.  i said yes, obviously.

they had such great personalities even the mannequins joined in.

chris had this pillow made for ashley.  it reads “olive you,” and it’s a giant plush olive.  respect dude.  respect.

i said “singing in the rain.” they handed this in as their homework.  i gave them an “a.”

taking in the atlanta dusk, the light was beautiful for photos.

i had some markers and poster board left in my car from our christmas card sessions, so i made them write one thing they’d promise to do for each other when they are married.

then they turned the markers on themselves.

love. devotion.

security.  faithful.

now for some fun with nikon’s intervalmeter feature. weeeee….  magic.

thanks ashley + chris.  congrats again!

chris + allie.

the next photo is best viewed without stopping while scrolling…

ryan is also super talented in the musical department. check out his band, the key. that explains his rockstar stance in the next photo.

they’re so sweet :)

love ashley’s nonchalant look here

very holga-ish

isn’t ashley the cutest? and her hair is the awesomest.

love this one.

ashley + ryan had the whole day planned out. as a freshman at mercer you get to go up to the bell tower. ashley got access to the key so we had the priviledge of going up there as well! there were names written all over the walls on the way up dating as far back as the 1920s. so cool!

at the very top… ryan keeps ashley safe :) when ashley was a freshman she wrote what you see below. they brought a sharpie with them this time and wrote a new message. we’re saving that for later.

on the way down…

can you spot chris’ fanny pack? :)

i mean, seriously… isn’t her ring amazing??

ashley + ryan: thanks for taking us around the campus and up to the bell tower. we had so much fun with you guys and can’t wait til the wedding! :)

chris + allie

everyone, meet taylor!  she’s turning 2 this year.  when her mom, ashley, contacted me about taking photos she told me taylor might be a little shy of the camera.  so before they came to meet us, ashley decided to make a big deal about it – take a bath, put on “makeup,” and talk it up!  something must have worked, because she was all about some time in front of the camera!

here’s the whole family, cute as can be – kevin, ashley, and taylor.

too adorable!

and one more of ashley + kevin!  :)

we like to tell clients that we capture personalities instead of just posing them and taking a photo.  when we received the following message from ashley, we felt like our brand was following through with exactly how we wanted it to be perceived :

“I LOVE the pics Allie!! You and Chris are so blessed with such an amazing talent!! I can’t tell you how happy I am with everything! Now the hard part – deciding what I want, in what sizes. Your pictures make me want to cry!!! I am beyond pleased – I’m beyond thrilled! You captured Taylor’s little personality in all the pics. Love them! When I let her look at her pics on the computer she kept asking “where’s allie and chris?” !!! :)”

kevin, ashley, + taylor : thanks for spending some time with us on sunday.  you’re such a cute family and we hope to see you again sometime soon!
