Atlanta Parent Magazine May Cover Shoot

by Nneka May 10, 2016 in Blog, Events, Portraits 0 comments tags: atlanta family portraits, atlanta parent magazine, portrait photographer

The May copy of Atlanta Parent magazine is out, featuring my latest cover photo shoot. When Atlanta Parent Magazine called, I jumped at the chance to photograph the cover and match the photos taken from a previous play date. (Note-the inside photos accompanying the article are not mine). I always enjoy working with them and have some serious fun with the kids. Maria and Sarah-Elizabeth were good sports, braving a chilly but beautiful spring day. Maria is such a cutie! She really enjoys climbing on the jungle gym and dancing to Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off and Annie. Below are a few photos from the entire cover shoot. If you missed my first cover shoot Atlanta Parent Magazine, you can find it here. Watch for the June issue, which will feature another fun photo shoot.

As the couples finished their meals catered by Sonesta Gwinnet Place and the Muna Coterie Valentine’s Day dinner began coming to an end, the couples continued to talk and laugh with each other over a glass of wine. Mr. McClenton continued to serenade them on the flute and Daniella shared with the group how she met the love of her life. Daniella met Michael on Tinder, a popular dating app. Although she was “anti-online dating,” she felt it would be a good way to meet new people. After being matched, Daniella and Michael chatted for a couple of weeks before meeting in person. On their first date Michael took her out for a fun night of dinner and dancing on River Street in Savannah, Ga, which led to their loving relationship.When they began looking for rings, Daniella’s mom recommended that they reset her engagement ring. So she gave Michael the engagement ring to “hold” which he put on a necklace that he wore daily. Surprisingly, Michael lost the ring one weekend, and couldn’t find it. Daniella stated she was “livid and cried because of the sentimental value.” Little did she know, Michael had found the ring and had a big surprise for her. While […]

The Muna Coterie Valentine’s Day Dinner continued as the couples continued to have fun talking and dancing. Anita Baker was soon requested and played by Mr. McClenton, the flutist. Soon they each gathered around to watch just one of 5 meals prepared in front of them by the fabulous Sonesta chef. Meals varied from delicious appetizers like asparagus risotto to amazing entres such as chicken milanese. While wining and dining Arielle shared her love story with the others. Arielle met the love of her life,Leland, during her undergrad years at Tuskegee University in 2009. They formed a great friendship, but after graduation Leland moved to Nashville and while Arielle stayed at Tuskegee to attend Veterinary school. It was after her first year of vet school, Leland and Daniella rekindled their friendship which quickly turned into a relationship. Daniella says she knew they were meant to be together, and since 2013 she has been “the happiest woman alive.” During a visit to Nashville, to visit Leland, they visited Tennessee State museum which she fell in love with and became her favorite spot that she insisted they visit every time she came to visit him. On January 1st 2016, after the Nashville New Years […]

Valentine’s Day Dinner

A couple of weeks ago, Munaluchi hosted a special culinary event for 3 newly engaged couples, with the help of their Coterie members. Being that Valentine’s Day is in February, it has been deemed the month of love, and this event celebrated that love among these newly engaged couples. The night began in an intimate setting beautifully designed by Enraptured Events. Each couple began to introduce and talk amongst themselves while enjoying a glass of wine. After a few minutes of laughing while music by Mr. McClenton played in the background, Kisha and Sean shared their story. Kisha met her love Sean through a mutual friend, as they attended a birthday party together. That night they enjoyed each other’s company as they casually chatted, but lost touch soon after. It wasn’t until a couple of months later that they happened to run into each other again, as they each went out with mutual friends. It was then that Sean began to pursue Kisha, which led to a friendship, which we all know is the foundation to a great relationship. Towards the end of 2015, Kisha began to feel that a proposal was coming, but to her surprise he still hadn’t popped […]

Race Car Theme Birthday Party

My youngest nephew turned two last fall and celebrated in style with a race car theme birthday party. His little party was held during lunch hour at his school where his mom also teaches. Black and white checkered balloons, wallpaper and candles decorated the place, while a bright red tablecloth with table runner that looks like a race track set the tone. What racing themed party would be complete without a cake shaped like a race car and two little candles on it to signify this milestone. The two miles per hour speed limit sign was also a clever touch. Of course my little nephew didn’t seem aware that he was the center of this big to do. But he was definitely happy to eat cake & play with race cars. His classmates also welcomed the change in routine. I don’t remember if any music was playing but there was lots of dancing, running and jumping going on.

A few weeks ago, I attended the monthly design seminar hosted by Darcy Harris of The VIP Room which specializes in contemporary interior design. Every month is a different topic with this one focusing on Asian influences. The showcase included Asian antiques from August Avery; Japanese floral design from Green Reasons; and Japanese costumes from The Atlanta Opera’s Madame Butterfly. If you’re a design or HGTV addict, I highly recommend signing up for The VIP Room’s mailing list and attending her next design seminar.

Last week I attended Lunch and Lounge at the Loft at Castleberry Hill, an event and wedding facility just east of downtown. This is a nice space for any bride looking for a chic, urban setting and has great views of downtown. I especially love the canvas paintings on the ceiling. Here are just a few photos of the event.

Last week I attended an after hours reception & tour for The Carter Center. It was like their grand re-opening after the renovation of the museum. Since I have a wedding scheduled there later this year, I brought along my camera. The event was catered by their exclusive caterer, Proof of the Pudding and the food was excellent. And I love the presentation of their dishes. It makes it easy for me to pretend like I’m a food photographer.
