Megan and Mark

Ah. . .Georgia weather.  One would think that if you schedule an engagement sitting in April, you would be safe on the weather temp side of things.  Nope.  This day was freezing!  A high of 45.  Megan and Mark were troopers.  You can't even tell that they were cold.  They just kept laughing and having a good time.  Thanks guys!  Great job!  By the way:  the height difference was absolutely adorable. :-) 

Photo Fun!

With today's economy being what it is, people are coming up with alternative ways to have fun with friends.  I have been going the traditional rout of having friends over for dinner as opposed to going out.  Not too long ago I had a few friends over for dinner and it turned into an evening of photo fun. :-)  In the early photo classes of college, one learns how to drag the shutter.  I'll explain how to do this.  Try it at home! (children under 13 ask your parents first)  If you have a manual camera (meaning manual adjustments, not focus) place it on a tripod in an extremely dark area.  Adjust the shutter speed to "bulb".  Someone needs to stand by the camera to hold the shutter button down.  Once the shutter button is held down, use flashlights or (in this case) sparklers to make whatever pattern your heart desires. :-)  Have fun!

Congrats to Kristen and Chris!!

Kristen and Chris just got hitched Saturday!  It was a beautiful day smack in the middle of horrible weather.  Someone was definitely looking out for them, including the amazing sunset in the middle of the party.  She was stunning and he was so happy.  We laughed and cryed all day. . .mainly laughed. :-)  It was a Peachtree City wedding that started out at Christ our Shepherd Lutherin Church and immediately following: a caravan of golf carts headed to Flat Creek.  It was great fun!  So much fun, in fact, the party was extended 1 hour because it was just too early for the party to stop.  It was  a great way to kick off the wedding season!   Thanks and have a blast on your honeymoon!  On a side note:  I must say that his dip was legendary!  Guys. . .take a look and take notes. ;-)  

R.T. Woodworking

Wanna see some beautiful art?  Rob of R.T. Woodworking creates his masterpieces himself.  I got to see some homes he's working on recently.  Wow.  It is amazing the amount of detail that goes into it.  If you're looking to update your home, this may be the rout you want to take.  I am about to have my porch fitted with his craftsmanship and the rod iron rails you see above.  Photos to come after.  Contact me if you would like his information.

Kristin Davis!

I had the rare opportunity to photograph Kristin Davis of Sex and the City the other day at her new clothing line event at Belk.  She was just as stunning as she is on TV and in the Movies and her new line is everything we would expect from a southern raised actress.  It even has hints of Charlotte.  

Gavin

It's our favorite spiky haired boy! GAVIN!  He was so cute (Especially the flip flops) and had so much energy that day, it was hard for me to keep up with him.  Once we pulled out the bubbles, however, he wouldn't have any photos without them. :-)  We had fun trying to find ways to hide the bubbles, like in the Easter basket, but for the most part they made it in most of the photos.  Which, to me, is great!  It really reflects that time in a child's life when blowing bubbles is the greatest thing in the world.  Thanks Maryelle and Gavin. :-)   

Torie and Kyle

I was so excited that someone wanted their engagement photos on the 17th st. bridge in Atlanta.   Torie and Kyle wanted city style photos to reflect their love for Atl.    We had so much fun.  They were all smiles even though it was a bit chilly.   At any rate they were troupers and their photos reflected it.  Thanks again guys!  You did great with and without the hat. :-)
