"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. 

ode to etsy – cake toppers

October 4, 2009

Two things I love about weddings are all the little unique details, and CAKE.  So this installment of “ode to etsy” is dedicated to some really cool cake toppers.  What I like about these is that they are awesome, handmade, and can be used as decoration after the big day.  You gotta dig something that’s useful, beautiful, and recyclable.  Back in 2001, when I was planning my wedding, I couldn’t find anything as cool as these.  I think my cake just had a few flowers on top.  I also couldn’t find a simple, elegant headband with a few feathers and a birdcage veil.  Now there are TONS of them.  Sigh.  Matt and I have been talking about having another ceremony in the near future.  My vote is to get hitched by an Elvis impersonator in Vegas.  There will be a fabulous feathered hair clip, and there will be cake.  And Elvis.
