Take Back The Night Event at FVU

We are transitioning to a new blog.  So for the next few months I'll post a link to our new blog here for you or you can just access it through our portrait link on our home page.

I had the opportunity to photograph this years rally at Fort Valley University.  You can view some of the pictures and read more about it here.

A Touching Story

Today I watched a clip about a high school senior and the experience she had at the ball park.  She is a softball player and what happened during the game and the response from the other team was not only remarkable but inspiring.  If you have just a few minutes, I encourage you to watch this clip.  It brought tears to my eyes!

2012 Senior Sessions | Portrait Photographer

Michelle is the last of 5 senior models we chose for the 2012 graduation year. While planning Michelle's photo shoot she indicated that she wanted pictures by a train track.  There is a nearby train track so we met Michelle one early Friday morning at the track.  This summer we have scheduled sessions as early as we can to take advantage of the wonderful light early in the morning and the cooler temperatures.  This particular morning it was really humid, as a matter of fact it was going to rain.  As soon as Michelle stepped from her vehicle the curles she'd so carefully spent time making that morning disappeared.  She was really dissappointed!  We proceeded on with the session when suddenly, here comes a train!  After a near heart attack with the train the rest of the time at the tracks went beautifuly, oh, except for those nasty nats that come out just before it rains.  It did end up raining and we rescheduled the remainer of her session for the folowing week.  All in all it was a very memorable experience and we ended up with some beautiful images of Michelle.  Hope you enjoy her slideshow.


In case your wondering about the shoes, Michelle is on a drama team and those are her stage performace shoes.  It's a memory for her.

Senior Model 2012 | Portrait Photographer

Meet Kacey, she is one of our senior models. Kacey plays golf and is on a golf team at school. We met Kacey at one of the golf courses she plays at and started her session there. We then traveled back to the studio for more golf shots in the studio. With some of those shots I put together this collage. Let me know what you think!

Here is her selection of images put together in a slideshow. I think she did an awesome job!



Fireworks | Photography

About a month ago, Tony and I got new cell phones and we feel like we finally joined the 21st century. We decided to stay in this year and watch the fireworks on T.V. So, we turned on CBS and enjoyed much of the celebration live from Boston. Now I've photographed fireworks in person before but this time I wanted to try something a little different and used my camera phone to capture some of what I was seeing on our television. I was rather surprised at the images I recorded. I put this collage together as a little sample of Fireworks by Camera Phone.

Senior Model 2012 | Portrait Photographer

Meet Ebony, another one of our 2012 Senior Models! Like our other models Ebony applied online.  I contacted her and met with her and her parents.  Both her mom and dad came out to the studio. They signed an agreement to be one of our models and then we planned her session.  I like to start with a plan with every portrait session we do.  We try our best to customize each portrait session so each of our clients has something that is unique to them. 

Hope you enjoy her slideshow!

Engagement Session | Wedding Photographer

Heather and Josh are getting married in July and we recently met them in Athens Georgia to photograph their engagement session. Up until that day we hadn't seen rain for quite sometime. Well, this is the first engagement session we've shot where we've had a rain delay. Thankfully we had just arrived and parked in the parking garage at the stadium when the wind picked up and it just poured!

Here is their slideshow, enjoy!
