Arrendale-July 2010

Having done photos for this family previously, I was stoked when asked to do them again so soon. Take a look at how much Bella has grown. She is beautiful! I had a great time today, thanks guys!!

New Logo

I'm so pumped. Clay and I just finished my logo and business cards. In just 10 days, I will have them in hand!! I'm bona fide now. If the past 5 years are any indicator of my future...BRING IT ON. I couldn't be happier in another industry. Oh, and of course, a VERY SPECIAL shout out to Clay Parker of Riot Shark Media for creating my logo and business cards.

Galations

The main theme of this book is salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. I recently had another opportunity to showcase some of my photography at church. This time I was able to use two photos I already had leaving only two to shoot. The photo below is my most recent addition.

Babies, Babies, and MORE BABIES...Haha.

Robin & Saylor Johnsen

Its taken some time but I think I've found my love. Now lets not misunderstand..I LOVE ALL FIELDS OF PHOTOGRAPHY...but recently I've found a special love for maternity and family photos. I had the honor of photographing Robin's first pregnancy pictures today. Robin has a natural beauty and confidence that I don't see in many people. She loves to laugh and can't stand to be the same. It was only appropriate that, for her shoot we paint (...yes paint) her belly. I hope you enjoy these even half as much as I do. Robin..thank you for the opportunity to love you through my work.

Isabella Arrendale

So, as you know, this year has been a year of firsts for me. Today, I did my first infant shoot. Infants have a mind of their own when it comes to being photographed. Some will look at you and respond to anything you put in front of them and others do and think in their own world. Isabella is a beautiful six-month-old baby girl. She has a hundred expressions. Spending the day with her and Holly (her mother) was great. We hung out through lunch and nap time. I am honored to have been asked to capture even a snip-it of "Bella's" vibrant personality.

Robby & Briana Wildes Wedding

Today is November 7th, 2009. I just got back from shooting Robby and Briana Wildes' wedding in Newnan, Ga. Originally set to be a small exchanging of vows at the courthouse, their wedding turned out 100+ guests. Congratulations to the bride and groom!

Swint Johns-Senior Pictures

Senior photos. Yes, I do those too. Its Swint's senior year at McIntosh. Whew!

Cupcake Photo Shoot

I LOVE WHAT I DO. Yesterday was a monumental day. Why, you may ask....because yesterday was the first time EVER that I planned a shoot with a hair and make-up artist. Robin and I sat last night, after eight hours of focused creativity, reflecting over the ways the Lord worked in and through our shoot...all the way from one of our models canceling late the night before to Devan (Robin's X) bringing his sister, as a model last minute, and staying the entire day. We used models who's beauty wasn't just skin deep. The atmosphere was incredible and everyone was SO patient. I wanna send a HUGE thanks out to all the girls who participated yesterday. Y'all are AWESOME! I guess you're probably wondering what this shoot was for....surely we didn't pull a shoot like this together just for the heck of it....right? Right, Robin and I decided that, together, we're unstopable and because of this we are having an art show to prove it. In late early April, we are planning to serve cupcakes and coffee and invite you to our show. These pictures will be blown up and put on display for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for all your support!


{No pictures...if I showed you here, you wouldn't have any reason to come to my show.}
