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. 

introducing max habeger!

WELCOME, MAX!

Our good friends, Tim and Shelby, finally got to meet their little boy the other day. Maximillian Joseph Habeger has officially entered this world, and he’s about as perfect as can be.

Shelby is my new hero. I won’t go into all the details, but she had to work extremely hard for nearly THREE DAYS before getting to hold that little fella for the first time. I hope she reminds him of this every Mother’s Day and every time he refuses to clean his room.

Much love to the three of you! I can’t wait to watch as this little guy grows up!

Here are some photos of Max at the ripe old age of 13 hours!

I adore this next shot. Matt says he looks like an Edward Gorey character. I’d have to agree.

Max is getting a nice view of his first storm. When the boom of the thunder sounded, Tim would say to Max, “I invented that”.

Just after this photo was taken, a nurse rushed at us a bit crazy-eyed, like she might have to get all ninja on us. Apparently when we left the room, we set off an alarm sensor on the baby. We didn’t realize that Max was on lock-down, and Tim was about to get body-slammed for stealing his own child. Oops.

A little quality-time with Grandma…

August 2, 2008 - 5:23 pm C.S. Perry - There are many moments in life that can show us the subtlest of meanings and beauties…but childbirth isn’t one of them; there is nothing subtle about it.
And yet these photos seem to take the edge off the actuality of the Moment and allow it to fade in gradually almost; more like a slow revelation than a sudden epiphany.

After the birth of my son and a long, hard search through the apparent depths of my own perspicacity, the only word I could find that seemed appropriate for his delivery was: Stark.
But it’s still a moment that will live inside you as long as you’re breathing.
And, having known Shelby for nearly twenty years now, I’m sure that she will keep this one with her and find more fuel from it than most of us could ever hope to squeeze out of a lifetime.
My most earnest congratulations to the happy parents and my sincerest wish for a long and happy life to Baby Max.

And all the requisite praise, of course, to the skill and artistic aplomb of the photographer. Your work is outstanding.

August 3, 2008 - 3:31 pm stacey - c.s. - what beautiful words. thank you for sharing that.
