Jeff & Sonja - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

What a fun birthday surprise! -- Pretend to be a supermodel for a morning with your honey.  Jeff surprised Sonja with a photo shoot for her birthday.  Shooting with them was a lot of fun, and an adventure - my first time at the Krog Street Tunnel.

Nick & Trisha - Engaged! - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

I was so thrilled when the "gorgeous softball lady" asked me to shoot her engagement party.  What a fun couple!  The party was at the Sweetwater Brewery in Atlanta, GA.  Trisha runs her own sports league - Ultimate Sports of Atlanta - check them out!  Nick is the most laid back,  cool attorney I've ever met...and being a paralegal by day, I've met a lot of attorneys.  They are getting married on November 3, 2012, and I'm sure a good time will be had by all.  Best wishes and congratulations to a great couple!

A Taste of Home - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

My family went to my hometown, Eastman, GA, for Labor Day to visit and relax with family.  Parker was able to climb onto a tractor, walk down the railroad ("choo choo") tracks and swim like a fish in my Aunt Robin's pool.  I was also able to work in some photo sessions for some of my old friends, and I was able to do my first boudoir shoot.  It was a busy weekend chock full of fun.

Check out my Facebook page for a preview of the boudoir shots!

Ashley - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

What a pleasure to photograph someone who is beautiful on the outside and even more beautiful on the inside, and how lucky am I to call this lady my friend?  Check out the very lovely Ashley.  She's a paralegal, an office manager, a mom to her pup, Stanley, a great friend to many...and, watch out fellas, she's single.  The guy who snatches her up is going to be one luck fella!

Sarah - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

Can sweet Sarah make being a towhead look any better?  I don't think so.  We had the pleasure of meeting Sarah on the Marietta Square for some pictures, breakfast and fun.  What's even better than photographing one of the prettiest little girls on the square?  Photographing her giving my little boy a big ole smooch on the cheek.

Big 'ol smooth from Sarah!
