Albuquerque, New Mejico.
Beautiful wedding of my good college buddy Grace and my new amigo Simon.
I’m going to let the photos tell the story because I’ve got “Blogger’s Block” and don’t have anything witty to say. I’ll post one of the 20 or so weddings on my desk next week. Maybe Monday. Keep your fingers crossed.
Fingers are crossed, here! These are all so fantastic, I don’t know how I could ever choose a favorite! I am however especially loving the black and white of her in the chair… and the 2 of them in the desert/field…. wow… Another fantastic job, Tim!
TH:
Wow~!
Ashley Porretta:
I love the one with her looking at the camera behind her bouquet…her eyes are amazing! I love your work!
Tim, I have to say that I am so amazed, continually, at your work; God has so blessed your hands and eyes. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us and I’ll go ahead and tell you that the best photo here, in my judgment, is bride and groom in the field with the major vignetting as well as the BW shot of the bridesmaids behind the sitting bride (the flower girl is what puts it over the top into awesomeness).
Ok, so everyone of your weddings has the most amazing clouds! I think i need to move to another state or start saying some extra prayers or something. Great photogaphy! Congrats Grace & Simon!
hey everyone. dom is about 7 weeks old now which means i haven’t blogged in about 7 weeks.
i’m sorry to tell you this but time does become a little more scarce when you have a kid. shocker right?
so, since i was bad at blogging before, i’ll probably be even worse now. however, i’m not giving up yet. maybe eventually, but not yet.
here’s a couple shots of the kid.
No eventually’a about it! Please never give up blogging and sharing. Your work is always so inspirational… even these family photos! Can’t believe how big he is already… I’m LOVING that hair!!!
aunt joanne:
Hey Willoughbys, really nice to see new pictures of Dominic but there’s no excuse for it taking 7 months!! What’s up with that!lol. Too bad I could not make it down with Pat when he saw you guys but with 2 horses it is hard to just get up and go. You can check out Eve’s senior photos on her facebook page if she will “friend” you!! They came out so pretty. She really doesn’t take a bad photo. Take care guys and congrats again. Jo
Wow, don’t mean to leave two comments in one day, but figured I’d be as shockingly saturating with my comments as you are to have two posts in two weeks. Your boy looks great and glad fatherhood hasn’t killed you; it almost did me with the lack of sleep (I don’t know how my wife does it). Anyway, glad things are well.
unc shawn:
hey hey hey! dom is beautiful! sooooo glad he looks like his momma! what product do you guys use in his hair?? that is what i have been trying to get my hair to do for years!! holla! p.s. don’t forget free baby sittin’ any time you need it! holla!
Coleen & Zack Sanders:
Yay!!! Congrats to you and Sarah. What a BEAUTIFUL family!!!! Love the head of hair on Dom. Much love to you, Sarah & little Dom. xoxo, Coleen & Zack

Sarah and I had our first child on Monday night (Aug 10th)! Sarah is incredible. She wanted to have the birth naturally so she didn’t get an epidural. She started having intense contractions around 8:30 am and labored 14 hours using the Bradley method of relaxation . At 10:30pm the obgyn insisted that the labor wasn’t progressing at all and that a c-section would be necessary. Apparently Sarah has what the doctor called “little boy hips”. It gets kind of technical…
Obviously a c-section is not what Sarah wanted but it worked out for the best. The delivery at that point was quick and everything went very smoothly. At 11:27 pm a beautiful, healthy boy was born! His name is Dominic and he’s 7 lbs 11 oz and 22.5 inches long. Some how I was able to snap a couple pics of everything that happened and I put it into a little slideshow. Don’t worry, there isn’t anything too graphic. It’s just a little 5 minute video so hopefully it’s done loading by now. If it isn’t FULLY loaded, just keep waiting. It’s kind of annoying if it starts and then stops 20 times.
Thanks for checking in, everyone, and for keeping us in your thoughts.

Wow! He is just beautiful. Sarah, you look absolutely amazing after all of that. You don’t look like you skipped a beat. Dominic looks so alert and he loves that thumb. So sweet. I’m so happy for you. Tim, I can’t believe you just put this together. Amazing job. Our little boy isn’t due for 2 more months but after seeing this I want him here NOW! Many blessings to you both!!

boston willoughbys:
Congrats Sarah and Tim! Thanks so much for the lovely record of Dominic’s birth. You will treasure it forever.Sarah looks great and deserves credit for trying to go natural. I know what that is like! He looks so much like a combination of the two of you right now but that changes a little as time goes by. I wish we lived closer so we could see you all more often.We love and miss you all and Tim your work is amazing. Tell Sarah to keep her chin up as recovery from a c-section can take a little more time and patience but Dominic is worth it all.
amazing, just absolutely amazing. you have a beautiful family.
action jackson:
Solid video! I’m fired up for yous guys. I hope you took that sweater off when you left the hospital haha.
DeVona Eastman:
Tim, Congratulations to you and Sarah!! What an incredible slideshow!! I’m close to tears, it just doesn’t seem possible for these gym kids to be having their own kids!!
Congratulations to the Grands, Michael & Martha! I’m so thrilled for you!
It still amazes me that God entrusts us with something SOOO amazing! I have never felt worthy of the two beautiful beings that he gave me!!
This just made my day!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone, my heart “runneth over” with love, thoughts and prayers for you,Dominic and the rest of the family!
Lots of love and hugs to everyone from the Eastman family, David, DeVona, Carolyn & Will~
How WONDERFUL and touching and incredible this little production was - in every sense of the word! I look forward to more updates, they are stunningly beautiful…the compositions, the music, the mood…Tim you are surely gifted in your craft…may God prosper your future business efforts.
And Sarah…sweet Sarah…how altogether lovely you are my dear! We were just watching some old ICA videos and to think you are now so grown and entering parenthood just overwhelms me! Your little Dominic will bring you great pleasure…what a treasure!!!
WOW! Stop crying, Gina! That was AMAZING! Sarah and Tim, I can’t remember two more beautiful, composed-looking, first-time parents in all my days! Dominic is beyond precious, and a kindred spirit; I’m a diehard thumbsucker, and there’s no confusing him for anything BUT one! Greg is going to be ecstatic at the choice of Dominic’s name! Congratulations and prayers for all 3 of you from the whole Pine Family! Thanks be to God! P.S.: Don’t listen to ANY dumb advice! Every day and every stage is as beautiful as this one, and it just keeps getting BETTER! Always keep God in the middle of the family, at the heart of every decision, and it’ll be AMAZING at every point! Love and prayers!

Hello blog followers. Greetings.
There is still no baby Willoughby. The due date was last Wednesday so….yeah…we’re running kind of late. Thanks for your thoughts and/or prayers though. I’ll be sure to update the blog with a flood of imagery as soon as possible.
For those of you who stopped by for some mind-blowing photographs instead of a baby update: I have something for you too.
Jane Marie and Joe. Wow. This was one of the most amazing weddings I’ve ever been to. See for yourself….
Yay for the rambling wreck at the wedding. That’s a tradition in my family with all of our Ga Tech Grads. Beautiful Wedding! Of course, the photographer matters and you did a wonderful job!
Your photographs litterally brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing them. I just happened upon your site, and am in awe of the etherial and whimsical quality that is there, but yet you feel as if you could be in the photo yourself. I am merely an aspiring photographer, no training, just see the world in pictures…and you have truly inspired me.
All the best. M.Berrien
You might remember the Tedder’s wedding from a few months back. Their album was just featured on Queensberry’s blog so I thought I’d post a couple of the pics of the album.
That’s a GREAT looking album! They had such an awesome wedding and your album makes it look even hotter.
Jennifer:
Love your work! Hung my portrait yesterday in the ballroom. Like the capstone, your extraordinary work makes everything fall into place! Thank you again!
