I got to meet this little guy on his 12th day of being in the world this weekend!! It was a dark, stormy day and he was not up for sleeping much, although he did take a cat nap for a couple minutes...long enough to squeeze in a few little sleepy shots..

I kind of wonder what he was thinking with his oh so serious face?

Many thanks to his daddy and uncle, who helped me carry all my gear in the pouring rain!!

Happy Baby Girl: Evans, Georgia First Year Photography

So, every now and then a baby will come along who is happy as can be, even in chilly weather on a Monday. Babies amaze me...you just never know what to expect! But this 6 month old baby girl was all smiles the entire time...what an easy session!!

Add a big brother to the picture and that's when the fun begins. He wasn't as forthcoming with the smiles, and we felt a huge victory getting him to sit still for a couple seconds...long enough to snap a picture with or without smiles! In this circumstance, a 50% smile rate is truly something to be happy about!



And don't forget mommy....



Overall, we had a very pleasant time and we got some super cute wall-worthy portrait shots! Hope your Monday was a sweet as mine.

2011 Year in Review

2011 in Review:

Wow....in 2010 I got a call from Hollywood, which put me right in the middle of Augusta's Extreme Makeover Home Edition episode and ended the year on a high note. Scribbletime had an equally exciting year in 2011 and I can't wait to see what 2012 holds.

Not sure if it's hormones or just the start of a new year but I feel more humble and grateful at this point than at anytime in my entire life. I wish you the best that 2012 has to offer. For 2011, Scribbletime focused on giving back in 2011 and this has been one of the most personally rewarding things I could have done for my business.

Through Augusta Boudoir, I shot the "Doctors With Heart" calendar on location at MCG (Georgia Health Science...sorry, it will always be MCG to me). Money raised from calendar sales will go to benefit the Heart Association. I have to give full credit to Jessica V Photography for coordinating this great adventure and handing it over. Very trusting of her!!

Did you know the 2011 National Cycling Championship was held right here in Augusta, Georgia? Yes...the huge event was hosted by the Augusta Sports Council and held at Fort Gordon. Scribbletime served as a sponsor for Champions Made from Adversity for 2011, which is the reason I got to shoot the "para-nats" portion of the event.

CMFA also has Rugby, and the shot above is from one of the practice events for the Rolling Maddogs in Augusta. If you missed the post about CMFA's event over the summer, please read it here.


Scribbletime was also a team sponsor for the Martinez Evan's Little League again in 2011. I never did get a chance to photograph the little team I sponsored, but I did get to photograph some of the games during Betsy Bingo. If you missed out on seeing them and your little one played on Betsy Bingo day, please let me know which team because I might have some pictures.

Here are some more things that Scribbletime did in 2011....

• Contributed a few hundred dollars for Breast Cancer Awareness during 2011 and will hopefully be able to sponsor a team again in 2012.
  
• Scribbletime coordinated the first newborn photography workshop for other photographers in the Augusta area to learn how to safely do the cute little poses that we all love so much!! I really do hope to help bring a lot more learning opportunities to my peers in 2012 also!
• OpLove: I did 3 OpLove sessions in 2011, which is super rewarding. For 2012 I am getting out of the organization. I will still support military families facing deployment by offering complimentary sessions, but I will have a little more flexibility to help on my own instead of tied to specific restrictions.
  

On the agenda for 2012:

• Scribbletime will begin doing concept shoots in coordination with Illustrated Events. I'm looking forward to planning and dreaming to come up with fun themes for families to have a playdate of sorts with Scribbletime.
• Cake smashes have been a huge hit this year, and Scribbletime babies who have cake smashes get a cute cake from Sweet Madness bakery (formerly Edible Artistry) located by Firehouse Subs at the intersection of Columbia Road and North Bel Air in Columbia County.
• I am dedicated to helping women in the CSRA feel a little bit more confident and realize their true beauty. So did you know that Scribbletime has a sexy side? Yes, it's called Augusta Boudoir. I've got a separate website and more mature name for my boudoir work because I just want to keep the boobies separate from the babies! I have shaped the sexy side of my photography to cater to moms and women of all ages, shapes and sizes. REAL women who want to be transformed into supermodel material and go through a supermodel transformation inside too! The best part about it is that all this fun day away from reality is something the guys totally support, especially when it's a surprise gift for him!!
• Helping others will continue to be a huge priority for 2012!!
• I hope to second shoot some weddings during 2012. I assisted shooting my first wedding in 2011 and LOVED it. I have no desire to be a wedding photographer at this point, but I DO love a wedding!!! Oh and I can totally hook brides up with a sexy little black book to give to her groom on the wedding night. Yep!

Have a great 2012, and I look forward to seeing your cute little faces....

Complimentary Custom Birth Announcement Design Augusta, Georgia Newborn Photographer

Scroll down to see samples of Scribbletime's custom birth announcements. And be sure to visit the Scribbletime website: www.scribbletime.com

Baby nurseries are a labor of pure love.

So if you've put a lot of time, love and money into decorating your baby's nursery, you'll be interested to know that when you have a newborn session with Scribbletime, you get more than just photography.

I will custom design your birth announcements to make sure that they are unique and reflect your labor of love in more ways than one.

Just as you've put forth a lot of effort to design your baby's room, I put forth a lot of effort towards designing a birth announcement that coordinates with something that is personal or memorable to you. How awesome would it be to send out birth announcements that are inspired by the nursery, or that capture some characteristic unique to your family?

If you're expecting a baby and have worked hard to decorate the baby's room, don't let all your hard work go to waste....book a session with Scribbletime and show everyone in your birth announcement how crafty you are! I create the custom designs at no extra cost to you...yes, I custom design your birth announcements for free.

Here are some samples of custom designs that were inspired by something special and meaningful to the family. I've changed some of the identifying information in the birth announcements, and I assure you that yours won't say "mommy and daddy sample".

Hunter's dad was a sailor, so his nursery is decorated with cute little sailboats that are exactly like the ones on a quilt that was handmade for him. His grandmother hand made the basket he's in....so he's sort of floating on the water along with his little sailboats. This is my favorite because it truly captures the essence of why I like to make custom birth announcements. It's just more meaningful.

It wouldn't be the same if I just bought a cookie cutter photoshop template and dropped in a picture of him.



Here's another one of my favorites...a friend of this baby's mommy hand painted some artwork with her name on canvas to hang in her nursery.



And this one has a funky fresh feel to it....the entire house is funky and modern. I used colors inside their room, along with patterns similar to what is on their walls. Oh and their mommy likes black and white pictures!

This is a sweet and meaningful birth announcement also for many reasons. It's rather simple, kind of like his family and their home. He lives in a log cabin his daddy hand built from blueprints that are an exact replica of an old abandoned log cabin that is nestled in the backwoods of Georgia.

His baby room has a fireplace, stairs and lots of wood. He was born premature at a couple ounces over 4 pounds, and his parents weren't planning on painting and decorating his baby room anyway. But oh my goodness, his daddy built their home with his own two hands....so I'm actually glad that he didn't have a traditional cutesy baby room....it made sense that the baby announcement needs to capture that same antique feel of their home.

Here's another one of my all time favorites. Stepping into her nursery, you would think you stepped into Paris, France. Her mommy even hand painted the Eiffel Tower on one wall. It was pretty cool to feature her mommy's artwork on her birth announcement. The colors are all in her room as well.

Finally, here is an example of an announcement that reflects the family's simple, classic style instead of being inspired by the nursery.


Custom birth announcements only come with newborn sessions. Be sure to schedule your newborn photography session before your due date so I can get you on my calendar and have plenty of time to devote to capturing your little bundle of joy!

Scribbletime Evans, Georgia Baby Photographer: Timeless Images

Visit the Scribbletime website: www.scribbletime.com

Okay, you have to know that I love to photograph newborns. They are precious.

I love to photograph babies in a natural, simplistic and timeless way. Being a minimalist is almost a fault because props and cutesy little costumes to dress newborns up in help give a clue to whether it's a boy or girl. But on the other hand, I want the newborn images to stand the test of time so that they'll ook just as beautiful and timeless 15 years from now as they do today.

And honestly, what is cuter than little baby toes? This is a post that I love to photograph babies in....with their toes up by their face. This is a comfortable position for newborns because they probably spent some time in the womb in this position anyway. Newborns will never be able to achieve this position again, so it's now or never.

I am in love with baby toes.


And I love this one too....what a sweet big brother he is already!

Evans, Georgia Newborn Photographer: A Totally Custom Session

This newborn session was completely custom...this sweet little boy's mommy and daddy had a distinct vision about the poses they wanted as a result of this session. I appreciate that because my job is easy at that point, sort of. Newborns actually control everything about a newborn session, so I cannot ever guarantee any poses!. But this little fellow must have been listening to his mommy as she explained what she wanted, because we ended up with some awesome shots.


I think this one was definitely his daddy's idea....

And this shot was very special. His grandmother made this basket with her own hands. Isn't it amazing...the basket is worth a few THOUSAND dollars, so I was sure hoping he didn't puke on it...haha! He did great....after the football shot, he was happy to be snoozing away in a basket.

Ft Gordon Marine Corps Ball Augusta, Ga Photographer

What a pleasure it was to be the photographer for Ft. Gordon's 2011 Marine Corps Ball (nope, this isn't the same Marine Corps Ball that Justin Timberlake or Mila Kunis attended!). I really have a special place in my heart for Marines because I married one! I brought along my usual assistant Kim and also my husband because I figure he will be the perfect person to connect with these guys. He's been out of the Marines for 11 years now, but it's definitely true "once a Marine, always a Marine." That's no joke and they don't take being a Marine lightly.

We had a great time working the event, and it was awesome seeing all the beautiful dresses. One of the dates even ordered her dress from Korea...shoes too. Here they are....she was sweet enough to remove them so I could snap a picture!



I am so happy to be in Augusta, Georgia so close to Fort Gordon because I love the military so much, and I have to say the Marines are my favorite because they are serious about their birthday....the Marine Corps runs through their blood, which makes them all brothers. I am so proud of my husband for being a Marine. Every year we celebrate the USMC birthday even more than we celebrate my husband's own birthday, and we order a cake. This year I was in AWE when I saw the cake I ordered to mark the 236th USMC birthday. Sweet Madness made it this year and it was as delicious as it was beautiful. The totally replicated the USMC seal....

Here's the one I ordered last year from a different bakery, which didn't look like the emblem as much as the one that Sweet Madness created (but we ate it anyway!). Semper Fi!
