Atlanta Child Photographer: Baby Jillian

I am so excited to share this little ball of joy.  Baby Jillian was chipper and sweet as can be on an early Saturday morning and such a joy to photograph.  We had a short period of time to work with but I think we made the most of it... Happy 7 months doll!

Tips + Tricks: Making yourself look good in a photo

From time to time, I get that person who DOES NOT want their picture taken.  I mean, when they see a camera, they cover their faces or run for the hills.  I'm not being dramatic here because this has/does happen.  It's strange because when I see the picture, I don't see the same thing.  In light of this situation I run into sometimes, which can prove to be awkward when you're a photographer, I found this handy article on how to make yourself look your best in pictures. So to all you ladies (or men) that shy away from the camera, don't be scared of the camera and embrace your inner photogenic self!

6 Month Old Kendall - Atlanta Baby Photographer

I had the joy over Easter weekend of capturing my sister's beautiful family.  I don't get to see my sister's family often as they live in Houston Texas so whenever they come in town, I end up taking many gigabytes of pictures of them.  I have to say this is the sweetest/happiest baby I've had the pleasure of taking pictures of to date.  Don't these pictures just make you want to smile with her?  Love you Kendall and congrats to Tessa and Brett to having a beautiful and sweet child!

Southern Animal Rescue: Adoptables

As far back as I can remember, there are two things that have always been close to my heart.  Cameras and dogs.

I grew up with a pack of dogs and now I have my own little rescue pup who is my constant companion. (Most of you all already know this as I post way to many pictures of her.)  In college I got introduced to the "pit bull" breed dog and fell in love with a dog named Max. He was white and brindle and was the sweetest and most obedient dog I had ever been around.  He displayed what it meant to be a well trained and behaved pet.

To this day, I have always had a soft spot of "bully breeds" as they are often the most sweet, affectionate and obedient dogs I've ever been around.   The breed has unfortunately been mistreated by poor owners and misjudged by people who aren't familiar with the breed.   For any dog, they are what you make them.

I am happy to announce my partnership with Southern Animal Rescue to help these animals get adopted. I will be taking pictures of these amazing and sweet animal in hopes of finding them good, new homes.

Below are two pups, Gallagher and George.  Gallagher was recently updated (only a few hours after posting his new pictures) but George still needs a good forever home.  He was completed under weight when he was rescued (skin and bones) and now he sports a healthy, muscular body.  The moment I met George, all he wanted to do was love on you and lick on you.  This one is a winner for sure.

Enjoy this puppy sweetness:

George - I love your ears!

Kory + Errick: Engaged

This couple is very special to me. I have known Kory for over three years now as she was my official "co-worker friend" after college.  I couldn't have been happier when Errick popped the question and they asked me do their engagement pictures.   They decided to take pictures on the west end of town for an urban look then soft it up the second part of the shoot at Piedmont Park.  Congratulations Errick and Kory and may you two have a long and beautiful life as Mr. and Mrs.!
