Romancing the Bride

We were asked to photograph and participate in three bridal shows, Romancing the Bride, at the end of February and beginning of March. All three shows were hosted at facilities around Atlanta that are owned by Magic Moments, Inc. We really enjoy working with everyone at Magic Moments and were thrilled when they asked us to document the events. Their staff is always friendly and personal, and their artistry in creating a perfect event is unparalleled. You will find the links to the venues at the beginning of each image collection.

Flint Hill and The Atrium

Primrose Cottage

Valentino at Phipps

This release event at the Valentino Boutique was such an alluring event. The guest list-only event featured Valentino's releases and I came to document the event for the store. I captured images of the store, its guests and its products for the store to use in promotional pieces. Here are some of my favorite images...

A Day in Madison...

:) I believe I have taken a vacation from my blog! We have been so busy this fall with weddings, portraits and some really great events that I haven't a chance to check in! I am back with a vengeance, though, with work from the last few weeks ready to shine! No better way to start off than with this really great project I had the chance to work on a few weeks ago.

A portrait client commissioned me to create some stunning art for his office walls. He specifically was interested in a portrait of Madison, GA, the location of one of his offices and where we have worked together on two of their babies' baptisms. He wanted to be able to bring this very special place back with him, into his primary office in midtown. A dream project, really... shoot whatever story you want! So, the liberty I took and came home with some images I am really excited about. So excited in fact, that I decided to make them publicly available for holiday gifts! They are available in limited edition Black and White prints as 11x14 and larger, sold directly through our store. (Click here to view the gallery...) There are around 60 total, but here are 10 of my favorites...

Corporate Headshots:: Susan

The wonderful people at Westplan Investors have me come to their office when the hire new investors to work with them. And Susan is just stunning... this was a different type of project for me to work on with them: I specifically needed to keep the background clean and this light neutral. I love to shoot these types of portraits without all of the fuss and rigidity of big lights, so I often use window light when we work indoors. I love this little study here... its a really good show of variety within some very tight outlines. Like usual, simple really is the best.

Jenny's Headshots...

My business headshot packages are becoming more and more popular. My effort while making them is to make the shooting process enjoyable: I make them as easy on my clients as possible. I came to Jenny's office building at around 3 in the afternoon and we shot her portraits on location with all natural light for about 25 minutes. While we did the portraits, we chatted about all sorts of things. Talking, I find, helps clients to relax, resulting in genuine expressions for their portraits.
