Margaret’s 92nd Birthday Party – Canton, GA

April 29th, 2013

Birthday Event Photography PhotojournalismEvening Birthday Party, April 26:

I can’t always assume I know what I am walking into. Margaret was turning 92 and her son was throwing a party for her. He hired me because…well…you know…you never know how many more birthdays one will have past 92. And, a lot of the family was supposed to be there.

When I walked in, it was only Margaret and her nurse. I introduced myself to her and wished her a “Happy Birthday.” She told me that she didn’t want a party and asked her nurse to take her to her room; I never saw her again that evening. Only 5 family/friends came. We think Margaret may have gotten the guest list and called them all to tell them not to come. Her 2 nurses plus their families were there. So…what do you do when life throws you lemons? Of course, we made lemonade!! I’m sorry Margaret wouldn’t participate. Maybe 93 will be better.

The Industrial Telephone Factory Urban Decay Portrait Session – Atlanta, GA

April 22nd, 2013

industrial photo shootAfternoon Session, March 13, 2013:

Andy & I were working on calendar images for his shipping business. I had a white background set up in his loft at the Telephone Factory in Atlanta, GA. But when I walked the staircase & corridors of the old renovated factory, there was so much character that I knew I had to entice his kids to do some shots with me. I actually had to pay them each a dollar (to buy themselves an app). Wait a minute….!!! That’s not how this works!

Alli + Van’s Charming Chapel & Rustic Barn Wedding Photography – Fields Chapel and The Rock Barn – Canton, GA

April 16th, 2013

The Reveal | First LookWhite Chapel Wedding PartyRock Barn Wedding Portrait

Afternoon-Evening Wedding, April 6:

The little white chapel, called Fields Chapel in Canton, GA is so full of charm! The darling old chapel, built some time between 1768 and 1854, is surrounded by Canton country roads and beautiful gardens and is a great backdrop for an afternoon wedding. The couple did a “first look” before the ceremony. I really love this modern tradition. The ceremony was held indoors and was gorgeous just the same.

The reception immediately followed at Cherokee County Historical Society’s Rock Barn (a.k.a. Crescent Farm). The Rock Barn, built in 1906, has been charmingly modernized without sacrificing the architectural integrity of a race horse stable. While the building itself has a maximum occupancy of 180, tents may be set up outside on the lawn to extend the facility.

I truly enjoyed my day with Alli & Van. Everyone had an awesome time…lots of smiles and dancing going on.

Thanks to all of the wonderful vendors that made this day possible.
