Class of 2020 is almost here! | Georgia Senior Portrait Photographer

October 24, 2018 • Leave a Comment

I can't believe my very own high school senior is about to graduate in 2019. But it got me thinking that juniors are almost seniors and - BAM! There goes another year!! So the class of 2020 is almost here and I usually book portrait sessions in the spring and summer before their senior year, so now is the time to start looking for the perfect photographer. The first place to look is to see what your friends are doing. Are they going to a friend to take their pictures. Maybe mom has a nice camera. Or the school has high volume portrait studios that come and take some quick snaps.

Most people who come to me are the ones who REALLY want a special experience. They want their portrait session to really be about them and not like and assembly line with cookie cutter poses and images. I work with each and every teen who comes to me and find out about what they want their session to look like. Do they have a hobby, a special pet, an epic location in mind. Anything that will bring out their uniqueness and personality! Something that you usually don't get with the high volume portrait studios.

The question people usually ask themselves is, "Can we afford a true professional photographer?" But the truth is, you can! In fact, one of the local high volume studios offers a package of $750. That's more than what I charge for digital files AND your portraits are going to be 100x more fabulous and your experience will be 100x more personal!

So before you jump the gun and go with a photographer that you think will be - cheap - easy - fast - etc, think about what your senior wants to have to remember his or her last year of high school. It will be the last year they will be at home and really be young! They're growing up fast and it's time to capture their youth before they go off to college and start adulting!

I've been having so much fun with my 2019 seniors, but before you know it, it will be time to turn over the reigns to the class of 2020!!!!

Now booking Class of 2019 and Class of 2020 seniors from Paulding County High School, South Paulding High School, Cass High School, Model High School, Cartersville High School, North Paulding High School, East Paulding High School, McEachern High School, Rockmart High School, Cedartown High School, Hiram High School, Carrollton High School, Douglasville High School, Harralson County High School, Villa Rica High School, Marietta High School, Grace Christian Academy, North Cobb High School, Mount Paran Christian School,

Indigo Falls Wedding | Paulding County, Dallas Wedding Photographer

October 23, 2018 • 1 Comment

There are so many wedding venues in the Atlanta and surrounding areas. So many to choose from that it can be very overwhelming. Then you arrive at one venue and it just speaks to you! And you feel like you've been whisked away to a mountain retreat far away from the world and your wedding there will be nothing less than perfect! That's what it's like to get married at Indigo Falls. The setting is serene with quaint cabins, lakes, waterfalls and countless backdrops that would make any photographer swoon! They even have an outdoor or indoor option for the ceremony just in case mother nature decides to water the flowers! But on top of the dreamy setting, the staff at Indigo Falls is impeccable! They cater to absolutely every whim and desire of their clients. Because every wedding couple there is like family and they take care of family! I've worked at Indigo Falls dozens of times since they opened and each time I work there I witness their five star service and A+ attitude! I love Indigo Falls and it really shows when wedding pictures turn out as great as these!!!

I love shooting senior girls! They are just always so excited to get their pictures taken, excited to see them at my studio when they're finished, and excited to share them with their friends! Nicole was a super cute senior from Cedartown High School and we had so much fun driving around to three different epic locations for her shoot! I'm so glad her family loves them as much as I do!

Atlanta Teen Portrait Photographer

Emily has been SO patient! Not only did she wait about three years to do this photo session, but then she had to wait 5 months for me to even get to editing her photos. That's the life of the daughter of a busy photographer! Customers always come first and my turn around for clients is about two weeks for portrait sessions and 3-4 weeks for a wedding. Poor Emily had to wait till my queue was cleared up just enough to squeeze her in! But I'm SO glad she was patient with me and now look at her!! She is stunning!

Thank you SOOO much to Ceretha with CTO bridals for her adorable dress! We shot her session right after Prom season so she was SO sweet to work with us for this session! And, of course, Nisha and Kristin with Glamour Affair! They ALWAYS know how to make my girls look fabulous and flawless! Not only are you amazing and talented hair and makeup artists, but you are wonderful friends as well!

Emily's session truly brings out her personality, or multiple personalities! HAHA! She is glamorous, dramatic, silly, and beautiful! She has such a huge heart and even since she was a little child people have been drawn to her! She genuinely loves people and is such a free spirit! I'm so excited to see where her sparkley attitude will carry her in the future!

Intimate wedding in rRockmart, GA | Paulding and Polk County Wedding Photographer

October 15, 2018 • 3 Comments

I find it funny that my studio is in Rockmart and I've been shooting all around the Rockmart area for the last 12 years and I've never shot at the Lester House! It's literally in walking distance to my studio and it's been there all that time! So when Regina asked me to shoot her sweet intimate wedding there a couple of weeks ago I was so excited to find this beautiful historic home!! I love working with wonderful couples and it was such a nice afternoon for the perfect small wedding!!
