Maternity~2 weeks and counting~

January 26, 2011 – 10:15 am

Photo shoots are an interesting thing, especially when: 1. I haven’t met the subjects prior to the shoot and 2. I have no idea what the location is going to present. The combination basically means I have no idea what to expect and that’s the way I like it. It forces me to be creative on-the-fly so to speak. No pre-planning, no bias, just raw, on the spot surprise. That was the case with Melissa’s maternity shoot and I have to say it couldn’t have turned out any better.

Indoor images were taken in natural window light with a Nikon D700.

Demetrius came in for a few shots in between football plays. He’s going to make a great father.

What a joy to meet you both and I’m looking forward to meeting your beautiful baby very soon.

JP & Ashlee Haynie ~January 16, 2011

January 26, 2011 – 12:17 am

If this wedding had a headline it would read: “Actor marries his biggest fan in small town theater where they fell in love.”

That’s exactly what happened. It was a day filled with things they love as they made their way from New York to exchange vows in their hometown. Ashlee and JP were married at the Macon Theater, onstage with an audience of family and friends cheering on the performance.

Each in their own dressing room filled with mirrors and stage props, the laughter flowed freely between those with back stage passes.

Ashlee and JP chose to meet before the ceremony as it gave them a more intimate first glance and allowed them to join their guests immediatly following the ceremony. The theme was “A Winter Wonderland,” and they met under the stage lights where JP won her heart years earlier. This time Ashlee took center stage.
