These Love Birds Love to Laugh

Posted on June 5, 2014 by Samantha

After 2 engagement shoots, we knew we would have a blast shooting this wedding. I have never met people who were more happy, goofy, and care-free ALL of the time. It’s wonderful when a wedding has that much joy to share throughout the entire day.

The bride and groom did a lot of work themselves to make sure their space looked picture perfect. One of our favorite touches was their cake topper – a sweet pair of love birds! They even included a photobooth with fun props and encouraged their guests to show their quirky sides, too.

We are thrilled to be photographing this loving couple’s wedding in less than month! They split up their engagement session into two days. We’ve already posted pictures from one of the days, so now we invite you to enjoy these pictures from the other session.

These pictures were taken at a little lakeside beach in Acworth, GA. This bride and groom to be definitely let out their playful side. It must have been contagious because we as photographed on a dock, a little boy run up and sat right next to them to join in on their pictures! (That picture has been included as a small image with the boy’s face blurred out to protect his identity…)

First Christmas as a Family of Three!

Posted on December 19, 2013 by Samantha

With half of the Defy team moving north, I’ve been so grateful to spend as much time with them as possible lately, especially since their little one arrived. When he was just a few weeks old we took some family photos to use for their Christmas card when we took his newborn portraits. They are such a beautiful family and I know that only good awaits them in their future.

Gifts from the heart!

With the holidays approach many are having special cards and gifts created. Last year we went to a senior citizen community and took holiday portraits. This dear lady took photos that she then used as gifts for her children and grandchildren. It was so sweet to see the sparkle in her eyes and help her with this precious idea. Enjoy your shopping and gift giving this year!

Clayton Christmas

Posted on December 4, 2013 by Samantha

It’s that time of year again. Find a tree, bring down the decorations, light it up – it’s Christmas time!! Now that it’s December, I’m okay with seeing Christmas things everywhere. I feel like it started so early this year. I will admit that we took our family photos for our Christmas card in November, but you almost have to in order to have your card done and sent out in time. So before Meredith moves up north, she came over for some Clayton bonding. We even gave the pups a bath right before she came over and gave them some bows. Even though our shoot wasn’t long, we had a lot of fun and now we want to share that joy with you!

Jellybean

For this Thanksgiving, Defy is especially grateful for a little Jellybean. One of our photographers recently had her first baby. This little guy has brought so much joy to so many people and it’s time to share him with you!

Sweet baby Liam is on his way right now to visit all of his family in Colorado for the Thanksgiving holiday. We know they are beside themselves waiting to see his precious face.

Here’s the brand new family of three!

Jellybean the day he was born.

Here he is at one week old.

We met up a few weeks later for another shoot.

Silly in love, true in love, forever in love.

This fall we had the pleasure of a double engagement session. They had many special places for their engagement photos so we split their time into two sessions. Here’s the second part at their wedding site with more fall colors. Between stealing kisses and whispers of love followed by giggles, this couple is headed for a lifetime of perfect true love! We look forward to joining them on their special day this coming winter.

Cedars Camps – best place ever!

Posted on November 10, 2013 by Samantha

Hail to Cedars, symbol of life! There is a fantastic camp in the middle of the Ozarks in Missouri called Cedars Camps. This camp has a special place in my heart because it’s where my husband and I met! His parents met there as well. So for our anniversary this year we went back to the place where it all began. There have been a lot of changes through the years, but it’s still a beautiful place. I hope these photos can share just a glimpse of the beauty that is Cedars.

Classic business headshots

Posted on November 6, 2013 by Meredith Ann

We’ve blogged a lot about babies lately so we thought we’d spice things up and bring you a simple classic headshot session. This young man was looking to have headshots taken for use on the internet as well as print. We used the natural backgrounds of mother nature and provided him with a variety of clothing choice. If you are in need of headshots contact us today. We’d love to photograph for you!
