"the meeting of two personalities is like the mixing of two chemical substances...if there is any reaction, both are transformed" - jung

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 hubby, and I'm pleased to say that we both work as, what I like to call "functioning artists".  I started my photo biz nearly five years ago, and feel lucky to have a career that is always changing and always challenging.  I'm greatful 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 dog, 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.

welcome home fletch!

I’m finally posting a Fletch update. I’m trying to get caught up on everything after my trip to Florida (I’ll be posting that soon). Yesterday, the flu totally tapped me on the shoulder, and when I turned around to see who was there, it was all like “hello there, I will now incapacitate you”.

Fletch is now in his new home at the ripe old age of 7 weeks. He’s ridiculously awesome. He ignores the cats, he’s super calm, and he’s already potty trained. I fear this may be the calm before the storm. I’m sure one morning I’ll wake up and he’ll have eaten my camera equipment, pooped in my box of pancake mix, and incorrectly balanced my checkbook. So for now, I’m going to enjoy this perfect little fluffilicious love nugget.

i’m off to the magic kingdom!

This is the first time that my packing list for a trip has included “sparkly plastic tiara”. Check.

I am beyond privileged to have been chosen to photograph Bert’s Big Adventure this year. Bert is the host of Q100’s morning show, and this is the 8th year he’s organized this all-expenses paid incredible trip for families with chronically or terminally ill children. This experience provides these families a much-needed break from all the challenges of daily life, and allows them to just have fun together.

I can’t imagine a more wonderful event to photograph, and I am SO excited to meet all the families, the Bert Show staff, and hopefully take some beautiful images for them.

They will be posting updates daily, so check out what we’re up to, by clicking HERE.

Bye everybody! I’ll give Mickey a big hug for you!

if you give a mouse a cookie

The folks at Synchronicity Performance Group have a lot going on right now. I recently posted about their show “Looking for the Pony“, and they’re also running a kids show called “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie“. Based on the book by Laura Joffee Numeroff, it’s a fast-paced, fun-filled tale of mischief.

The props are whimsical, the acting is high-energy, and there were lots of giggles from the little ones in the audience. Hooray! If you’re not a parent, you should quickly have some kids or borrow some, and go see this show.

don!

Meet Don #1 and Don #2. I’ve done headshot sessions before where we photographed the pre-shave look and the post-shave look, but I think Don gets the prize for most dramatic transformation.

Not only is he a master of disguise, but he’s also a barrel of laughs. Many thanks for a super-swell session. Maybe someday I’ll find out what he was thinking during his “I have a secret” facial expressions. Believe me, it must have been good.

ode to etsy – necklaces

Here’s the latest installment about my shameless love affair with Etsy. Today’s focus is on necklaces. If all these fabulous creations had been available back in the day, maybe Mr. T would have skipped the barrage of gold and opted for a nice hand-crafted earthy number instead.

love springs infernal

Happy Valentine’s Day! Was just reading on the web about how this all got started. It sort of came to be when women started being pursued by courtship instead of pillaging. Kind of like when Matt impresses me by sweeping the floor versus making me smell his farts. Chivalry is not dead.

his future’s so bright

Mary and the boy were out for a stroll on this beautiful day, and they stopped in for a quick visit. Had to grab the camera as soon as I saw this…

Henry T is lookin’ too cool for school. And also too young for school.

Our Lady of Hanson

I have a sin to confess. I love Mmm Bop. This video makes me happier than a jug of communion wine.

my kind of bling

Oh, Amy gets me. The fabulous Amy Stephan-Babcock sent me the link to an awesome craft site called Pancake Meow. Arguably the best blog name ever. She saw this ring, and thought of me. Can you guess why?

Thanks Amy! Let me know if you find any bacon necklaces or key lime pie ankle bracelets!

looking for the pony

The latest show by Synchronicity Performance Group to open at 7 Stages Theater is Andrea Lepcio’s “Looking for the Pony“. The story is centered around two sisters and the happiness and heartache they experience throughout their lives.

The cast includes Suehyla El-Attar, Jennifer Levinson (also known as Souper Jenny!), Stacy Melich, and John Benzinger.

It’s running now through March 8th! Holla!
