Valentine's Day Boudaire Shoot Vinatage Glam Shoot

2012-02-03T04:57:00.000-08:00

I often miss the look of good ol' black and white 400 iso film. So I really bumped up the contrast in my settings while taking these for a client who really wanted that old black and white Hollywood Glam look.
This was a fun Valentine's Day Photo Shoot.

I love to do Newborn Portraits. Baby Sophie is precious. She slept the entire 2 hours and posed herself. I am not to big on forcing newborn poses. I love it when they look cozy and natural. Here are some images from her session. Headbands by The Chica Boutique on Etsy.

Valentine's Product Shoot for The Chica Boutique

2012-01-09T05:47:00.000-08:00

This is part 2 of the Riding Hood Photo Shoot. Headpiece custom made for the shoot by The Chica Boutique (you can find them on ETSY and Facebook). This little one was climbing around in the back of my car and found an Apple and wanted it. You never know what props are going to work and most of the time unplanned things are what make the magic happen in a photo. Love this baby.

This shoot was so much fun. While searching Pinterest for ideas for a Valentine Season photo shoot I came across this idea. It was a much older child and the photos had a darker look. So, I put my happy spin on things and this is what I came up with. Enjoy!

You gotta love a gypsy. This is my beautiful step-daughter. She was the perfect little model for this shoot. Check out the custom headpiece by The Chica Boutique and NEW Cocktail Rings. My favorite shot is the one of her with her surprised look when we told her that was a passenger train behind her. She looks 8 years old again :)

I am not sure how it all began exactly but somehow I have ended up with these beautiful clients from Ellijay, GA. Not only are they the sweetest people you will come by but they are gorgeous and so are their babies.
This little one is oh so beautiful and photogentic and yet totally adorable at the same time . A huge thank you Un Petite Chou for the knot dress, The Chica Boutique for the fabulous headbands, and Moonshadow Farms in Austell for letting us shoot there.

The Fincher Family

2011-05-24T06:33:00.000-07:00

Chrystina Fincher is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Atlanta, GA. Growing up as a preacher’s kid and singing in church from the age of 3, her faith became the greatest influence for her music. This more than anything carved her path, as she discovered environments where she could meld her faith and musical passion. As a recording artist she has written and sung a variety of genres of music and continues to do so. She currently leads worship full time at various camps, conferences and for Northpoint Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. She is also is a songwriter for the GA based Rethink Group/Amber Sky Records. The various roles she has taken on through the years have taken her all over the world, but the one she relishes the most keeps her close to home, that of wife and mother to her three children. -From the Tour of Hope Website
Her latest album is Coast to Coast with a Sunburned Heart my 66 Chevy was used in her Music Video. Can't wait til it comes out. The album can be puchased through Itunes now. I highly recommend it I listen to it over and over!

2011-05-03T04:50:00.000-07:00

This baby has had the most gorgeous head of hair since he was born. I think he might be a movie star one day. One thing is for sure he is adorable and so much fun to watch. Just standing up now while holding on won't be long til he is off and running.

Happy Fun and Bright!

2011-05-02T08:18:00.000-07:00

This was truly a fun photo shoot. Reminds me of my past when I used to grab a model some funky clothes load up the SUV and head out. Devon is a gorgeous Falcons Cheerleader and so she made my job easy. We shot outside of this antique market and then stormed in on the fire department! Crazy how the most uncomfortable of places will get you the best shots. Devon is an amazing woman a true Southern Beauty and the sweetest person you will ever meet. Keep posted to my blog I have more very fun and unique shoots planned for Summer!

DIY Project how to turn really old books into Home Decor

2011-04-21T09:00:00.000-07:00

   Yes I am a Photographer but also I LOVE to decorate and do artistic projects so I thought I would share this one. It is simple and inexpensive.
   First go to thrift stores and buy old books the ones that are really really old like 1920's 1930's work best and you will be surprised how easy these are to find.
   Here is a picture of my books I found at 2 thrift stores yesterday the cost me $5.00.

Take the books outside and remove the covers. You may find some really cool writing inside on the front page and you can put this book on the top of the stack to show it off. I painted the bindings of a few in the stack Robin's egg blue to give them some extra color. You could also leave them all natural for an earthy look or paint them all white for a shabby chic beach look.
Stack them according to size largest on bottom and ties them with some cord or ribbon. You could get really creative here adding little embellishments on the top. Here is how mine came out and it took me 10 minutes to make these!

Fruit Stand Sonni Mae!

2011-04-16T11:30:00.000-07:00

I have a hard time blogging and keeping it interesting. I would rather tell a story with my photos than words. I really cannot put into words the emotions that overwhelm me when I have a shoot like I had yesterday. A perfect baby girl who was all smiles. A sweet mom and dad. A wonderful assistant. And....all day there was clouds and it looked like the bottom would fall out of the sky at any minute. Well it held out and the first rain drop fell when the shoot was over when my client was backing out of the driveway. For me life just doesn't get much better than that. Enjoy the images of this sweet baby in the Chevy with lots of fruit!

When Life gives you Lemons

Rock and Roll Cowgirl Music Video Shoot

2011-04-11T11:39:00.000-07:00

This was something out of the norm for me but when Chrystina Fincher sent me and email and asked to use our Turq. 66 Chevy for hey music video "My Baby Mine" I said sure! I got to take a few photos of the process because photography is what I do and as much of a part of my soul and Chrstina's music is part of hers.
What an amazing artist. She is so incredibly beautiful and talented. I highly suggest buying her latest CD from Itunes Coast to Coast and a Sunburned Heart.
Here is her bio:
Chrystina Fincher is a singer, songwriter, and producer that has a flavorful span of music and recordings throughout her career. She has worked with artists spanning from Third Day to Butch Walker. She currently leads worship full time at Andy Stanley’s church, Northpoint Community in Alpharetta, GA. She is also is a songwriter for the Rethink Group, also based in Alpharetta. She lives there with her husband and 3 children. It is her hope and vision to bring glory to God through the power of what He has let us all enjoy and connect to…music.
