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.        

Cover Shoot for Atlanta Parent Magazine

Last month, I photographed Atlanta Parents double spread showcasing all of their finalist for the Cover Kids Photo Contest. It’s always an honor to have your work featured in a magazine. This month I am excited to have my first cover shoot photo featured on Atlanta Parent Magazine. In Aug, I photographed Izzy Rice, the 2014 winner of the cover kids contest for the October issue.   We had a great time photographing fall & Halloween themed portraits for this months issue. She is such a sweet girl and we had fun with her showing us all of her different scary faces. Below are some of the highlights from the entire cover shoot.

Atlanta Parent Cover Kids

I had the pleasure of photographing finalist for the Atlanta Parent Cover Kids, which is featured in this month’s issue of Atlanta Parent Magazine.  It was a fun but exhausting day photographing almost 50 children ages 6 months to 12 years. With only 4 hours to shoot, I had my work cut out to catch 50 smiling, happy faces. Atlanta Parent staffers were on deck with balls, trucks, and stuffed animals to keep the kids happy and occupied. The toy spider seemed to be a favorite with all of the children. Here are some “outtakes” from the photo shoot showing some of the kids’ enjoying the toys.  Be sure to pick up a copy of the October issue of Atlanta Magazine to see my cover shoot from last year’s Atlanta Parent Cover Kids winner.

Family Portraits in Decatur Square

I had a lot of fun with this energetic family. It was non-stop running, dancing, jumping and laughing. I narrowed down a few favorites from their spring family portrait session in Downtown Decatur.
