carolyn & trae are engaged!

October 12, 2009 – 8:17 am

carolyn & trae are the two busiest people i know so when their engagement session got rained out i was so relieved when we found another date before their wedding that would work! but THEN, it rained again. wasn’t there a drought here in the atl not too long ago!? anyway, whatever the weather carolyn & trae were ready and willing to push right through and make the shoot happen! we’d met them at a pretty park near emory and as soon as we were all assembled and ready to go, the rain forced us under cover. we wandered through parking decks, overhangs, construction, loading docks and healthcare buildings searching for covered areas to shoot and looking back, i am seriously impressed by how patient and relaxed these two were! in the end i think their session ended with a pretty diverse sets of images- each little vignette different but beautiful thanks to their love and optimism!

first up, the park we were supposed to be shooting in:

a few inside during the worst of the rain- thanks emory heathcare system for providing such large windows!

2nd anniversary!

August 18, 2009 – 8:18 am

today, two years ago, i married my best friend. matt is everything i could never have even imagined that i’d want in a life partner. the way he lives his own life, the way he cares for us, the clarity with which he sees the world- these are things that never made it to the list i made in middle school that started with just, ‘good sense of humor’ although, i am happy to be able to check that off too! ;)

i cooouuuuld write a long sappy post, which i will probably do in the years to come but today, since we’re photographers, and since they say a picture is worth 1000 words, i decided to go with 7000 words in the form of new header images of our little family! check it out! (for you loyal friends in reader, click out please!) we’d love to hear what you think, which image is your fave and, of course, any compliments on stella’s adorableness will be much appreciated!

sneak peek for reader people!

LOVE our clients!

September 10, 2008 – 1:21 pm

the other day i was not having the best of days; even matt’s ridiculous expressions were not working their magic. nothing seemed to be going right and on top of it all matt wouldn’t let me out of the crazy workout he had planned- not even when i suggested that throwing up might just happen. how did it not work? was that not the grossest threat i could have made?! i digress. all that to say, it was exactly what i needed when this email appeared in our inbox from one of our recent clients. as we don’t have a testimonials page on our site i just decided to share this here:

we love our clients; they are why we love what we do. spending our weekends capturing real life, real emotion and real intimacy makes us tick. how refreshing to be reminded of that. what a good evening it was!

hannah & matt are married!

May 15, 2008 – 12:04 pm

early early saturday morning i jumped in the car with hannah and her best friend and together we took off for the hair salon.  by the time i had buckled my seat-belt the car was full of laughter and i realized they were both giddy with excitement and running on total adrenaline.  having stayed up half the night just laughing (i get the impression there were few words, more just excited giggling:)), hannah was a little delirious more ready than ever to marry her man! ;)

having lived in separate states throughout their entire relationship, these two squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of the times they are together.  so when hannah and matt opted for a ‘first look’ we knew it would be extra special!  their moment together before the craziness of the ceremony and reception was a sweet time for them to forget the details and focus on their incredible love for each other; it also gave us a chance to take some great couple shots. 

their ceremony was short and sweet but with all of the love and hugs from their guests it took them quite a while to walk the short distance over to the reception!

it’s always fun to come home and combine our pictures and see what was happening in different places at the same time.  for example, we learned that when hannah called matt and got his voicemail matt was eating a biscuit (i hope that doesn’t put you in the doghouse matt!;)).  it’s also a treat when we capture the same moment from different angles, although the shots are usually similar, we always love seeing the unique details we captured:

a couple more:

on their way out, they made a quick exit!! :)

hannah and matt, thank you guys so much for allowing us to be part of your day. you guys are so evidently in crazy love with each other, congrats to you both on finding your perfect match!  i hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon!
