Full House...

I had a fun, but hot and humid session the other day with a wonderful group of children. Despite the heat and humidity they were incredible and barley complained at all about my shuffling them to and fro for portraits... I really loved the color and outfit coordination that mom had planned and I think it worked extremely well. My wife and I sometimes feel stressed with two children but watching Mom handle the four with ease certainly encouraged me to stop the whining...at least for a little while. Here are a few quick images from the session...

Fun Session...

I had the pleasure of doing another session with a family I first photographed in November. Their daughter, Maura, just recently turned one and her parents wanted to do a session centered around her but of course with images of her older brother Gabe as well.

We had a gorgeous afternoon and couldn't have asked for a better day. Maura has the most beautiful blue eyes and coupled with her curly red hair, she is simply a doll. She is going to get plenty of love and affection from Mr. Gabe as I'm sure he'll be quite protective of her. For our session, Dad did an awesome job of being the safety valve and staying just out of the frame yet being close enough to catch her if she became unstable. Many thanks to you Dad and of course always to Mom for keeping the kids hydrated and full of snacks as needed. Here are a few quick images to keep whet your appetite until the rest are ready to view...

Pre-Easter Madness...

Back to blogging after too long of a break. Since my March Madness Bracket got busted, I figured I would post some Pre-Easter Madness from my recent Easter sessions at PLAY. It was a blast and I really want to thank Colleen at PLAY for the wonderful space as well as the folks from the House Rabbit Society of Georgia which supplied the Bunnies. I also of course want to thank all of the folks who came out for the sessions. There were many new faces along with some very familiar ones. I hope you had as much fun as I did!

I will say at one point (when some of the kids were screaming and poking the rabbits in the eye) I was questioning my chosen profession, but I quickly got past that. Here are just a few of my favorites from the weekend...

Teachers ARE Special!!!

I had the pleasure of photographing one of our children's Pre-School teachers recently, along with her husband and their two adorable daughters. We are so fortunate to have Aimee as our daughters teacher and for this we couldn't be happier. Her husband may look a bit familiar and if so it is because he is one of the local weather personalities, Brad Nitz, of WSB TV. Brad was nice enough to forecast a perfect day for us and it certainly did not disappoint! Their children are absolutely amazing and were a riot to watch. Whatever I asked of them, they were happy to oblige, whether it was climbing a tree or playing hide and go seek...All in all I was very pleased with the session and hope you'll like the above "teaser" images.

A Beautiful Day of Portraits...

I had an opportunity to photograph the children of Dalia Faupel, the Atlanta Editor of Go City Kids fame. She has two wonderful children and I absolutely had a blast not only photographing them, but just watching the interaction that they had with each other. Although the age difference is about three years, you can certainly see the the affection that they have for each other. We couldn't have asked for any better weather as it was about 70 degrees with a slight breeze. They were both full of energy which made it fun trying to keep up with them. Although I enjoy every aspect of my work and feel blessed to do this for a living, the really fun part is just documenting kids being kids. They grow up far too fast and I'm seeing it and realizing it every day with my own children. Above are a few random images from the session...

Getting back in the groove...

I hate to say it yet again, but I've been extremely tardy with my blogging as things have been quite hectic. With Easter this weekend I wanted to take a moment and put a few of my favorite Bunny portraits from our recent promotion at PLAY in Roswell. These events are quite rare for me as I don't often photograph clients in short time blocks and back to back. I just prefer to draw the personalities out of the subject and with short sessions, this isn't often possible. But with that being said, I had a blast and I couldn't have asked for a more appropriate location as the facilities at PLAY are incredible and the area where we set up worked really well. I just want to again thank Colleen from PLAY for her support. We are discussing other collaborations so please keep an eye out for future events.
