Hiya! Awfully nice of you to visit my little ol' blog.
A quick description of me would be that I love my family, my friends, life, photography, and pancakes.
I live in Atlanta with my giant dog Fletch, and spent the first chunk of my working days as a scientist. Then, I shifted some major gears, and started my photo biz nearly seven years ago. I feel extremely lucky to have a career that is always changing and always challenging. I'm grateful for every day that I get to wake up and do what I love.
I'm drawn to all forms of art, and multiple styles of photography. However, I'm moved most by personality and character. This is what set me on the path to doing portraiture. Whether I'm shooting a beautiful wedding, a happy family, or a beloved pet, I'm always a portrait photographer. I want every image to speak volumes and make it's viewer linger just a little longer.
I wear my heart proudly on my sleeve, and that's what you will get from my photos. I will glady give you a little bit of myself in every frame I shoot.
A wedding is often referred to as “the big day”. Loren and Seth knew how to have a very big day! I had the pleasure of second shooting their celebration with Robin Nathan at two of the most elegantly fabulous locations in Atlanta, The Ritz Carlton and 200 Peachtree. There was too much loveliness to describe in words, so how about I just skip that part and post my photos? Yep!
What happens when 6 ladies get together to celebrate the fact that one of them is getting married in a week? This…..
It’s going to be a great, great wedding, and we’re all a LITTLE excited for Lara and Zach. YEAH!!!
I am SO glad that I shoot acting/modeling headshots. I know they’re not every photographer’s cup of tea, and I respect that. Let’s be honest, these types of photos require more “technical correctness” than “creative awesomeness”. I probably couldn’t get away with putting a Viking helmet on someone and covering them with dirt. Hmmm…. However, these shoots are made so fun by the wonderful folks in front of the camera. Headshots may be somewhat limited artistically, but each person brings limitless personality, making every session unique, challenging, new, and cool. That is a big ol’ win!
Here are some of the most recent and utterly fantastic folks I’ve had the pleasure of sharing photo time with. Y’all are super swell. Thanks for making this such an enjoyable part of my business.
Atlanta just got a little cuter, y’all. Molly is the sweetest little gal, and her hair is going to rule the world. She will soon realize that she hit the parent jackpot, because her mom and dad have that winning combination of loving and super-fun. She also has an awesome, furry brother named Grizz, who is a pretty great photo-bomber. This dog is so chill, he even let me use him as a tripod at one point. What a swell morning of photo playtime. I had such a blast meeting this wonderful family. Smiles for miles!
Do you need a quick update to your headshots, but don’t necessarily need the full, 3-look photo package? You are in luck! For a very limited time, I’ll be offering a “mini” shoot, which includes one look and location for just $125! Your shoot date simply has to be scheduled sometime this month (April 2013). If you’re interested, please contact me for further details. I limit the number of shoots per day to avoid rushing anyone, so give me a holler before sessions are booked up!
One of the great joys of my job is that I often get the privilege of photographing the new babies of couples who’s weddings I’ve shot. It’s just the best thing! I adored Karen and Ash during their beautiful wedding day, and now they have a perfect little lady named Kora. It was really cool to see how this great couple has become the epitome of beautiful, overjoyed first-time parents. That tiny gal is SO loved.
Kathleen and Jon provided new levels of cuteness with their “YAY Parade” of adorable kiddos during their wedding procession. She Knows Parenting must agree, and they’ve posted it on their site. Woo hoo!! I mean, Yay!! Please click HERE to see their sweet post.
Super yay!!! Amber and Kevin’s incredible, rustic, vintage, DIY-awesome wedding at The Goat Farm has been featured by the cool folks at Rock N’ Roll Bride! To see their lovely feature, click HERE. Woo hoo!
Three things I enjoy…taking photos, the Goat Farm, and my pal Lucky. This shoot had it all, baby! It also didn’t hurt that it was such a beautiful day, it seemed like springtime was being dangled on a stick in front of us, but just out of reach. Oh, GA! Lucky and I had a swell time goofing off, wandering around, and takin’ a bunch of pics for him to use for multiple biz/performing stuffs. You guys, he’s the voice of Dr. Krieger on “Archer“. If you have not seen this hilarious show, you should probably slap yourself. So you can hear his cool voice there, and you can see his handsome face here. Win, win!
When you have a friend,who’s also a wedding planner, who’s also into awesome DIY everything, who gets married to her super-swell guy……things get pretty darn exciting! Before, during, and after Jaimie and Clint’s wedding day, everything was a whirlwind of wonderful. I adore this couple, and they held an incredible event at the Mason Murer gallery. I really enjoy weddings in art galleries. It’s such a cool and modern setting. Not surprisingly, Jaimie looked stunning and Clint looked handsome. And I love how in love they are! Trying to not cry during their first glance moment was a struggle. As the portraits, Ketubah signing, ceremony, dinner, and dancing progressed, the evening somehow kept getting better and better. This was just a killer event. Moving. Fun. Beautiful. Unforgettable.
