Atlanta Parent Magazine May Cover Shoot

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.

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.        

Happy Anniversary Bonita and Harrison

Congratulations Bonita and Harrison on 4 years together! Then Now        

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.  

Spring Portraits

Here are some favorite images from my niece and nephew’s spring portrait session. They are such hams.

Find the Perfect Spot to Hang Your Family Portrait

by David De Groot A family portrait can add beauty and life to your home. Where you hang a portrait can either add to or take away from its visual impact. The portrait should be hung where it can be seen, but it shouldn’t stand out like a sore thumb. If you have the privilege of planning your family portrait before it’s taken, you can choose the portrait colors, frame and layout based on where you plan to hang it. For portraits that have already been taken, you can usually find a great hanging spot in at least one room of your home. Hang Portraits to be Seen A family portrait is meant to be adored by your own family as well as guests. The first choice to hang a portrait is usually the living room or dining room, but there are other hanging places you might not realize. Two areas often overlooked are the entrance and hallway. These are where your guests will enter and exit, and they’ll often notice whatever is hanging on the walls. An entrance is where your guests are first greeted by your home decor. Why not greet them with a beautiful family portrait? Hallways […]
