Rachel and I have been friends since I moved to South Carolina.

When Rachel asked me to be a part of her wedding, I was THRILLED! I absolutely adore her and her family, so it was an easy yes! Then I met Preston. These two people could not be more perfect for each other! He made her laugh the ENTIRE day. Never have I seen a bride laugh so much. I can only imagine how fun their lives are going to be.

Thank you so much for asking me to be a part of your perfect wedding day! And a huge thanks to Allison Elizabeth and Jenny for helping me. I couldn't have done it with either of you as well!

Enjoy! And love to you both!!!

The new Mr. and Mrs.!!!

Not only is she new to the Fisher family, she is also new to our neighborhood. She is the first born daughter of our sweet neighbors, John and Liz.

Congratulations, John and Liz. You are going to love being parents! It's such hard work, but very worth the effort!

Heather and I are friends from church and she just happens to be an amazing cake maker! I LOVE to barter, and lucky for me, so does Heather. Heather made two awesome cakes for my kids' birthdays' back in October and we have been meaning to do pictures, but just found the time.

She and her sweet family are in the process of moving to the Charlotte area. I was very glad we were able to get these done before she left town.

Thank you again for the cakes! They were incredible! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Joe and Heather. They are such a sweet couple! We sure are going to miss you!

This past weekend, we went to an undisclosed location for a spring shoot for an ad for Talk Magazine. I can only share a few of these images due to the ad coming out in April, but I did want to give you a sneek peek of what we were able to produce. Jenn and Melissa are both beautiful so it was easy taking their pictures!! We will be doing these types of shoots quite often so keep checking back for more amazing clothes, style and pictures.

And the next time you are in the West End, stop in and say hi and take a look around their store. They have some amazing things and are more than willing to help you find the look you want. You can also check them out on their website at AugustaTwenty.com.

Now, on to some amazing photos!!!

He is now 18 months old and so stinkin' cute! It's so hard for me to believe how big he is getting. I've been photographing him since he was born so I've had the privlege of watching him grow and change.

We met down at the studio on Saturday and had a blast taking his pictures. We were even able to squeeze in some of his mommy and daddy.

Thanks so much for using me again. Enjoy!!

Such a big boy now!



Hanging out with Mommy and Daddy!

Clapping!

**..**]]> Kendall and William are getting married! http://janacandlerphoto.com/blog/index.php?link=269 http://janacandlerphoto.com/blog/index.php?link=269 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:24:48 -0500 Meet Kendall and William. They are long time friends of ours, in fact, we taught William in Sunday School at church when he was a Senior in High School! And now he is getting married!

Kendall and William are high school sweethearts! Isn't that so sweet? They will be getting married on December 18th! Unfortunately, I was already booked for their wedding, but my friend and awesome photographer, Kim Deloach, will be photographing their wedding! I was lucky enough to get to do their engagement session though. We have had to reschedule this shoot at least 3 times due to our crazy weather. However, Saturday was gorgeous so we met at Clemson, where they are both in school and got some gorgeous shots!

LOVE this one!



Of course we had to go to Death Valley!

They brought a football and we were able to get some great shots with it!

Congratulations you two! I am so happy for you! Enjoy!!!

**..**]]> Introducing Benjamin Peters http://janacandlerphoto.com/blog/index.php?link=268 http://janacandlerphoto.com/blog/index.php?link=268 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 04:36:20 -0500 Meet Ben. He is the newest edition to the Peters family. And what a precious edition he is! He did so great at our shoot! I wondered if he was really 2 weeks old with the maturity he showed!

He is a very lucky little man because his parents think he hung the moon. It was written all over their faces how crazy they are about him. I just love watching new parents. It brings back such sweet memories!

Ok, enough blabbing, let's get to some pictures!

Congratulations, I couldn't be happier for you! He is simply perfect!

Ben and his parents.

Sweet boy!

This is my favorite though. This rocking chair has been in Heather's family for many years. Such a sweet moment!

I taught Molly in choir when she was in the 2nd grade!!! So, taking her pictures made me feel VERY old, to say the least. She has become such a beautiful young lady! Happy to see her grow and change, but sad that she isn't that little girl any more! I imagine your sweet mom thinks the same way!

Thank you for asking me to photograph Molly! I hope she enjoyed her shoot as much as I did!

LOVE this laugh/smile!

They have dated for 9 years so they were so thrilled to finally get married. Everything went perfect and even though it was cold outside, the love that they have for each other was felt by everyone!

Congrats, Anna and Rusty! Thank you for allowing me to photograph your wedding! And thank you to Allison Elizabeth for second shooting for me!
