Pet Portraits: Pumpkin & Linus

Last weekend was a VERY busy one! One of the really fun things I got to do was to take some pet portraits! I'd like to introduce you to Linus (all white) and Pumpkin (white & brown)! They're both rescue dogs and are just hilarious little guys. I think it's safe to say they're well-loved too - their mama's never stop petting them! 

Clark Howard Event with Atlanta Habitat for Humanity

For those of you that don't know me personally (Really? Email me! I bet we'd get along great!), I am here to confess that I am a giant nerd. Not nerd in the traditional pocket protector, high-water pants kind of way. More like in the "OH MY GOSH CAN I REALLY MEET LOCAL CELEBRITIES CLARK AND LANE HOWARD??! I AM SO EXCITED!" kind of way. And okay, I also really like original Star Trek, Next Generation and various sci-fi/fantasy/zombie things. So when I had the opportunity to photograph Atlanta Habitat for Humanity's Clark Howard Society Event, I was ecstatic. Clark and Lane are amazing supporters of Atlanta Habitat and so knowledgeable and passionate about utilizing Habitat to make a permanent and significant difference in communities. And they're super down-to-earth. Which is why I almost asked if I could take a photo with the two of them, but then chickened out at the last minute. Oh well, maybe next time. Until then, enjoy this photos from the Clark Howard Society meeting!

Portrait Season is here!

Spring is finally here! I had rescheduled with this sweet family twice already due to rain and cold, so we were all so happy to finally have a warm day to shoot family portraits once April arrived! Little Rooks and Jet were troopers, having suffered through Atlanta traffic, a change of clothes and then a late dinner - they still managed to give me some adorable smiles despite all of that! Looking forward to watching them grow even more in the coming years...

Age & Beauty

My sweet grandmother turned 80 years old last month! We had a small celebration with the family where we went out to eat and then got together for cake/ice cream/gifts at my brother & sister-in-law's house. Nana is a very spirited and beautiful 80 if I do say so myself - I'm so glad to have her in my life! Here are a few of my favorite photos from our celebration. 

And here are a few funny ones of her enjoying a particularly amusing birthday card...

 

St. Patrick's Day in Black & White

Although celebrating with the color green is one of my favorite things about St. Patrick's Day (can you tell I'm not a beer drinker?), I think my love of black and white photography may trump my love of green in this particular instance.
I took photos on St. Patrick's Day for a local non-profit group and these were a few of my favorite black & whites!

Those cheeks! So cute! 

Cotton candy fighting! 

Again with the cheeks - so precious!

This kid was cracking me up with his choice of where to sit. 

Barefoot friends!
