Isn't Jay just a precious baby boy?
Jay's mom is Kristie and Kristie's mom is my good friend Beth Newsome.
I took his pictures last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.
It was a beautiful Fall day with temperatures in the 80's
I took the pictures at the Horton House on Jekyll Island.
I love this place for pictures and I know yall have seen it often in my portraits.
The following is posted on a historical marker to the back of the house.~~~~~
MAJOR WILLIAM HORTON
Born in England
Came to Georgia in 1736
Died at Savannah in 1748
These are the remains of Horton's tabby house. Major Horton of Oglethorpe's Regiment, the first English resident of Jekyll Island, erected on the north end of Jekyll a two story dwelling and large barn. He cleared fields here for cultivation of crops which supplied the settlers at Frederica on St. Simons Island, a neighboring island, who would have suffered except for this assistance. Major Horton cut a road across the north end of Jekyll, running east and west, from this tabby house to the beach. This road is still known as the Horton Road.
Major Horton was a trusted officer chosen by James Oglethorpe for important missions. Upon Oglethorpe's final return to England in 1743, Major Horton succeeded him as commander of the military forces of the Colony of Georgia.
Poulain du Bignon, owner of Jekyll Island after the Revolutionary War, repaired the Horton tabby house and made it his home. As the du Bignon family grew, wooden wings were added to the house.

I enjoyed taking their pictures on such a perfect day.

What a neat old place to take pictures! I love stuff like that.
That baby is a serious cutie-pie!
These are awesome photos Gigi and I love the home. The other day when I visited Barrington Hall in Roswell, a photographer was taking photos of a baby girl seated next to those massive white columns. I bet they were pretty photos too.
The pics are gorgeous! And I think that's the cutest baby pic I have ever seen! (You know... not including my own j/k)
A perfect day for perfect pictures! Such an interesting home! Such adorable kids!
this place is great. I'd love to get pictures there.
