Atlanta Product Photographer | Britt Bass Summer Look Book

in , ,

Happy July, everyone! Summer is officially here and I am happy to be busy with shooting lots of pretty things + getting inspired.  Check out Britt Bass Turner's new summer paintings that I shot for her Summer Look Book.  They are all so gorgeous and I wish I had more walls in my house to display all of these. I love photographing products and the power that photography has in helping brands showcase their work.  It is also an added bonus when the products are art in themselves!  I hope you enjoy, and if you do not know about Britt, go check her out!   

5 Year Anniversary | Personal

in

Happy Friday everyone, and happy anniversary to my sweet husband!  My dear friend + co host of our upcoming workshop, Haley Sheffield, took these photos of us a few weeks ago to help us celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary.  Before I even looked through the photos I knew I was going to like them because Haley is amazing and we had the perfect location and I wore one of my favorite skirts.  As a photographer, I am always scouting, always planning, looking at colors and textures and I love it.  Because I am rarely in front of the camera and typically behind it, I get caught up in the beauty of the visual and forget to appreciate the beauty of the emotion.  Yes these photos are aesthetically pleasing and I love everything about them visually; however, as I sifted through all of the photos to select a few of my favorites to share, I was overcome by the emotional impact that they have on me.  For me, these photos have so much more meaning and depth that even our beautiful wedding photos have, which is crazy to think!  I am a firm believer that you "marry a stranger" no matter how well you know your fiancé and after five years of trying our best to live out our vows, I now get why people renew them.  A friend told me that she thought our anniversary photos were beautiful in the emotional sense, because they not only have hope, but history.  Where engagement and wedding photos contain only the hope, these anniversary photos also contain the history, which tells an even deeper story.  So, my challenge to myself and to you is to grab the one you love and get more portraits taken.  I promise you will love them and treasure them more than anything.  Thank you, Haley, for capturing us and telling the story of our marriage.  We love them all, but here are a few of our faves :

The Photography Intensive

I am so excited to announce the launch of The Photography Intensive!  Haley Sheffield and I have decided to team up together to host a two - day intensive class for photographers.  The heart behind this class is that we could create an intimate experience that would drastically change the careers of new photographers.  Whether you are about to launch your business, just launched, or want to re-brand and take your craft to another level, this class is for you.  We want to share all of our successes and failures to help you become the best photographer you can be.  We both love our craft and wish we had had a class like this when we began our journey with photography years ago.  We hope you will join us on this journey together! Be sure to check our our website for more details!

Tampa Baby + Family Photographer | The Murphys

A few weeks ago while I was down in Tampa, I had the privilege of shooting my dear friends, the Murphys.  You may remember when I shot sweet Will's newborn photos back in November. It is crazy to see how big he has gotten and to see his cute little personality develop.  I love photographing babies, and it is extra fun when I get to watch them grow up.  We started off at their house and took some sweet shots of Will in his baptism gown.  Then we headed out to beautiful Hyde Park Village and spent some time playing and walking around the cute shopping area.  Thank you friends for having me capture these moments for y'all! Hope you enjoy.
