MY LIFE AS A PHOTOGRAPHER

The Myers Fall Wedding

Lots and lots of pictures of Jeff and Manikka’s wedding. I had a good day documenting their Special Day with their family and friends. Their wedding took place in the Piedmont Room, Park View Restaurant. 99% was shot using available light. Loved the big open window.

Perfect Ceremony on a Rainy Day

My first justice-of-the-peace wedding in the ATL. I was honored to be called upon to document their special day. We had all sorts of cool ideas and locations for after the ceremony, but the weather wouldn’t cooperate. I was surprised that the ceremony lasted about four minutes, but these images will definitely last a lifetime worth of memories.

Maternity Session in New York

I had the opportunity to do a quick session with Kalemah at her apartment. We did this mini session right in her living room and dining area. Her living room window was my giant light source. Although I prefer to shoot with available light, I used a little flash to blow out the wall to give it a high key feel. I had a whirlwind of a weekend in New York. I went back home to shoot a wedding, but as you know, every time I’m back in New York, I always find the time to shoot clients, friends and family–my other sessions will be posted later. I cannot wait to shoot Kalemah’s baby boy when he arrives. It’s too bad that I won’t be there for the baby shower tomorrow, but as they say, I will be there in spirit.

This is the first image I digitally tweaked. When I sent it to Kalemah, she loved it! It’s not the typical portrait for her. I’m so happy she like it as much as I did. This image was taken in front of the same wall as the above–I just added my own digital blend to it to make it more colorful.
This image is entitled “Motherhood”. I think this is our favorite of the entire shoot. This image was taken on Kalemah’s sofa that was draped with a black sheet. Working on location has challenges, but once you find the “light” and that little spot — look at what can happen!

Another Fun Session!!!!

Manikka & Jeff were such a fun loving couple. They made it so easy for me to capture the love and friendship they share. I look forward to shooting their wedding this upcoming fall!

I will be shooting their wedding this October in New York. We had a fun day in Central Park and at the South Street Seaport. Although we were ALMOST rained out, we managed to make the best of a good day. Here is a video clip of some of my favorite stills. Enjoy!

As I was editing this family session, I couldn’t help but to fall in love with this image. I think I’m going to have to print this one out and add to my Wall of Favorites.

Here, I had some fun with post processing and collage designing from the Family Portrait Day shoot.

These two little brothers have the cutest expressions.

I had the privilege of doing a Family Portrait Day shoot. This one fun family celebrated a day of Togetherness. Here are just a few to share.

Here’s the Matriarch of the family. Such a sweet, sweet woman and so beautiful to photograph.
