Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Leota - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

I had the distinct pleasure of photographing our friends, Esera and Jessica, at their recent, intimate wedding.  How beautiful to be surrounded by their lovely daughter, their closest friends and most of their brothers and sisters.  Congratulations and Best Wishes!

The Bowens - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the Bowens.  Two gorgeous little girls and a handsome little man who eye their dad, a firefighter, as their very own super hero (especially when they thought the train might come after us) and adore their mom, super hero in her own right as a special education teacher turned administrator.  Hats off to this family who gives to the community and shines bright while doing it.

The McNeils - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

What a treat to photograph this lovely family!  When Laura initially contacted me and asked me to do some family portraits for them, I was a little intimidated.  You see, Laura is a very talented artist.  She does beautiful still life, landscape and figurative paintings.  You can check them out on her website or on her facebook page.  Despite my slight intimidation, spending time with Laura and her family was a lot of fun, and her down to earth, easy going attitude is reflected in their pictures.  The whole family was a lot of fun.  It was a great way to start a Saturday.

Emma at 3 months - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting my friend, Jessica, and her beautiful baby girl on the Marietta square.  We had a fun morning snapping shots, hanging out and having coffee.  The past three months have really flown by.  Emma is getting SO big.

The Corns

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing a family that I love dearly.  It was H-O-T outside, but they were all good sports.  I caught some really genuine moments shared between little brother and big brother, and those are some of my favorite pictures of the day.

 

Bringing in the Summer

 What better way to start of the Summer than playing in the Sprinklers!  Luckily, I had my camera with me, and I was able to capture these shots.

There are also a lot of beautiful flowers in bloom.

Hudson

One of the most remarkable women I know gave birth to her first son ten days ago.  Hudson also has two older sisters that will be looking up for him.  Unlike most newborn babies, he was wild awake during my visit.  Check out this handsome fellow.
