Jones' Summer Trip 2012 Part II

We were SO lucky to find a guest house on a horse ranch in Montana. They only had three nights available and it was the nights we needed! 



Our guest house was perfect!  There was a master bedroom, and a loft bedroom for the girls.  They loved it so much that Emily cried all day when we had to leave.


They had horses, cats and chickens on the ranch.  Brooke's favorite thing to do every morning was to check the chicken coop for eggs.


The very last morning we had enough eggs to make scrambled egss for breakfast.  Brooke was very proud of her eggs.


Before breakfast and after dinner every evening we went looking around the mountains for bears.  We didn't see any bears, but there were plenty of antelope, deer and tons of cows and horses.


While looking for a bear we spotted these deer running through the field.  They stopped near the road and seemed to pose for pictures.  It was very exciting!






Mark's favorite thing about our guest house on the ranch was the Yellowstone river.  It ran right next to the house.  We were told that it has the best trout fishing in the entire world! 



Mark got to spend an entire day fishing along the river.  He had the best time!  He caught a ton of fish and we even took the girls.   We had trout for breakfast on our last day at the ranch!

Jones' Summer Trip 2012

This summer we were lucky enough to get to take the family out west!  Our trip began in Salt Lake City and we drove up towards Wyoming.  On the way, we took an accidental detour through the Wasatch National Park.... and boy was it a great detour.  It was a beautiful way to start our trip! 


We stayed the night in Jackson Wyoming and had a wonderful breakfast.  It was actually the best food we had on the whole trip! :D  Our first stop... the Grand Tetons!  It was everything we expected it to be!


Luckily we brough along our binoculars.  The kids loved looking for animals with them, especially Brooke.  She kept saying, "I see a bear!.....Never mind, it was just a tree."


We went to Mormon Row Historic District to get some nice shots of the Tetons.  Much better than from the highway!



Mark wanted this shot of the girls running in the grass.  He shot video while I took photos and sang the theme song to Little House On The Prarie.  Brooke even fell in the grass right on cue! :D

Engagement Session | Country Wedding Atlanta, GA | Rustic Engagement Session

I was so excited to meet Meaghan and Christopher because they had to drive a long way to get to their wedding venue, Spring Lake.  Since I live so close to Spring Lake I was super excited to just run down and meet them to book their wedding.  Then we decided since it was such a long drive for them, we'd just shot their e-session on the spot!  It was wonderful! They are such a sweet pair and the location, weather and setting was absolutely perfect!  :D

I'm SUPER excited to finally launch my new promo video!  I love what I do, I love taking photos, but most of all - I love working with fabulous people.  I wanted my promo to give people a chance to see a bit of what I'm like before they meet me in person, and we all become BFFs! :D

Erin + Jeff | Hightower Falls, GA Wedding | Rockmart Wedding Photographer

Erin and Jeff were married at Hightower Falls which is always  a fantastic venue to taking wedding photos!!  One of my favorite things about their wedding was the groomsmen's superhero shirts.  Yes, in addition to being a Star Wars nerd, I'm also a comic book freak!  I love superhero movies!  So, when they said they wanted to play with the idea I was toally game!!! My other favorite thing from their wedding was Joseph.  Sweet Joseph, a groomsman, who made me feel special all day....even though he was joking. All the way up to the toast and in front of EVERYONE he called me out from behind my camera and demanded a hug.  A bit embarassing, but hillarious none the less!  It's days like this that I truly love my job!!! :D

First Day of School!!!

Emily is starting fourth grade and it's very exciting, but the real exciting part of today is Hannah! She is starting 6th grade and her first day in Middle School!!! :D We did a lot of mental preparations for middle school over the summer and open house Monday was crazy. I don't remember middle school being that scary, but Hannah came home today like a pro.... and she REALLY loves Home-Economics!  I also had to include a photo of Brooke, because even though she doesn't go to school yet, it's her first day too....without her sisters... But we had fun at home too! :D
