photography for doers and dreamers
Remember when you started really focusing your interest on photography? Everything was exciting and new. You didn’t know what you didn’t know, so you felt free to ask questions and find answers. Everything you saw was a subject and quite possibly would end up in your images. Do you still feel that same excitement and [...]
I have two completely different reasons for shooting this image tonight. First, I was thinking about my birthday (yay!) and a happy lollipop seemed an appropriate celebratory image for the upcoming day. Second, the lollipop itself was a prop in the FISH radio station and Street Grace organization video my husband created this past week. [...]
We were originally scheduled to shoot Whitney’s senior portraits at 1 pm… after a brief stint in the sun for Kaitlyn’s senior session yesterday, we decided 5 pm was a better starting time. We are in Atlanta after all, the South, with all that heat and humidity that makes a girl look less than fresh [...]
When Kaitlin pulled out the ivory white, ultra cool, electric guitar, I wasn’t sure we had the right girl. A self-admitted prissy girl, who would’ve thought behind that feminine and dainty exterior was a rock star waiting to get out. The senior portrait session with her today really exemplified the “unleash” part of “unleash your [...]
I thought it was about time to upgrade some product shots of our latest Teen Identity custom album. Although we offer traditional photo products like framed prints and enlargements, we love the storytelling aspect of albums so we made them the centerpiece of our Teen Identity senior portrait collections. Today we had the pleasure of [...]
You may have heard the news and speculation that Barnes & Noble will be taken over. Its stock soared last week over the news. Well, today it actually happened. But not in the way you might think. The B&N cafe at the Mall of GA was taken over by girls, Teen Identity girls. Today I [...]
It’s senior portrait season in Atlanta. The hot and humid weather is letting up a bit, teens are back in school, and senior year has officially begun. As our schedule gets booked, I get to do more of what I love … using my photography to unleash the true beauty in every teen girl that [...]
The more things change, the more things stay the same. Today we visited the new high school in our neighborhood to kick off the opening of the building. It is HUGE. That’s the part that has changed. Aside from that (and the short shorts that look like bikini bottoms), the kids aren’t all that different. [...]
One of the greatest joys of my job as a photographer for teen girls is to make their dreams come true. An incredibly high number of girls dream of being models. My belief is not that they really want to model, but they want the feeling of acceptance, worth and esteem that they believe might [...]
Four generations came together today for a photo shoot. Their ages spanned from 1 – 95. We ventured deep into the woods to the edge of the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta, Georgia. Down by Settles Bridge, we captured everyone… great grandma and the grandkids, husband and wife, parents and kids, siblings together, dad and daughters, [...]
