Eileen and Phillip:: Lyndon House, Athens GA

I've been in Athens a bunch these last few months and I have been really enjoying it. :) I really miss Athens sometimes and its really awsome when I get to go back. I always look forward to what food I will gorge on while I am in town... (the food is one of the things I miss most... Taco Stand. Five Star Day. Thai of Athens. yum.) The night of Eileen and Phillip's wedding, it was Taco Stand. ;)

These photographs are yummy, too. Phillip is a photo buff... which makes my job a little bit more nerve wrecking sometimes... but I am known to be one who works well under pressure. There were the more fancy camera's at this wedding than maybe ever before. :)

I am so happy with these...

Westplan Headshots...

I have been shooting portraits with the Westplan Investors for a while now and I really enjoy working with them. They initially hired me after I worked with them for a Dutch magazine, Management Team. Recently, I was cleaning my office and I found the copy of the publication from that very first shoot... :) How awesome is this? The whole magazine is in Dutch and Ewoud here was featured.

We did the initial shoot at their office in Atlanta: the blue building in the background. I've come back to their office over the last few years as new associates arrive to create portraits of them all.


:) So, more recently, we shot a new batch of headshots for them to use on their website. I came to their office and did portraits of everyone on-site... We all enjoyed making the portraits and I really am pleased with how these turned out.

This, again, is Ewoud... he is really striking to photograph.





This is Carol... and this was also the first time I had worked with her. I ended up getting the most shots of her that I was really excited about. :)





This is Emory. Lucky for him, the office portraits coincided with his new braces. :) They proved to be adorable to photograph, though.


We even got to play with the really cool bright orange doors in the office to play off his tie. (Which, obviously, made his eyes really pop... )



And, last but not least was Rob... he prefaced our whole sitting by declaring a need to smile in the images. It was important to him to (authentically) look friendly in his portraits. He was in good hands, though, and his natural charm melded right in with the camera.




Corporate portraits and head shots like these are always done on location, usually at your office. Sittings are $299 for up to three people and are proofed online, normally including around 20-60 images per person. They also include the digital release of 2 high res images to use for your business cards and website (per person). For more than 3 people, Office Portrait Days can be scheduled by the hour. Coverage is offered at a minimum of 2 hours and is $200 per hour. It includes 20 minutes shooting time and the release of two high res images per person.

Dates book around 3-8 weeks in advance...

Corie and Keith... 01.15.08

When Keith first asked me to photograph his wedding, I was initially terrified. He and I were in the same photography program at the University of Georgia...we have been friends for years, and photographing his wedding means a couple of things in my life: the most important thing that it means is that all of my photography peers will be evaluating my work to make sure that it is worthy of Keith and Corie. ;) The other thing that is means is that I am most certainly getting older. Our group of photography majors was really something particular: we were all very close. ::Sigh.::

Luckily, things are looking good... I can't wait to hear what they think of these first few favorites... :) I am so excited about these.

Packway Portraits...

For the sake of inventory, I wanted to get these portraits of the boys up here before they became left behind. It was Tom's idea to shoot around this enormous power plant. While we were driving around, scoping out the area, we found the deep red mud. :) These are fun ...

animated gifs... ;)

OK... so, hopefully, this is kind of adorable. I have been editing the new promo portraits I did for the Packway Handle Band and Tom mentioned an animated gif for their myspace page icon. :) Never before had I made an animated gif, but it was pretty simple and once it was created I decided it is the most hilarious thing. Here is the .gif for the boys...



But then, I decided that it was funny enough that I needed some for myself. :) And... a few weeks ago, we did some portraits near the house of us. AND Vicki and I took these really funny pictures of us goofing around with the cameras. AND... well... :) Here is mine, taken by my favorite second shooter, my sister Vicki...

And, then, Vicki's. Speaking of Vicki... she deserves a big job well done for officially being accepted into UGA's Law School! We are all very proud of her. :) Congratulations, Vicki!

Liz and Matthew... Waycross, Ga

Here goes my New Year's valiant effort to maintain my blog. :) This year, very much like last year, I absolutely vow to post more often in my blog. Reminiscing, I went back through my posts recently and they are starting to feel like a chronicle of my work. I appreciate, looking back, that they are there... :) What a brilliant thing... blogs.



Here are some of my favorite images from Liz and Matthew's winter (a southern type of winter) wedding... :)
