Moving Blog

Hello people that might look at my blog (thanks!) it has been a year since I have posted anything. This blog was a blog for school and starting point for me to share my photography with the web, but since then a lot of changes have happened in my life as well as my photography, so I figured it's time to change my blog up. I hope you will follow me to my new and improved --> BLOG <--!

This is Rachael & Chris by the way. A fun, sweet couple!

What I've Been Up To Lately

I have shot my first wedding (top picture) and multiple family portraits the past couple of months. I have been really lucky with families giving me the opportunity to capture them and their loved ones.

I cannot wait for the new year to see what it has in store for me! To check more of my photos out click here!

Things I've Shot Lately

These are some engagement pictures I have shot lately over the past couple of months. Yeah, yeah, I know I haven't exactly been keeping up with my blog, but the blog took the back seat for awhile. My life and my future plans have been changing, not to get all deep, but I need a constant pay check and photography right now isn't doing the job or maybe I am not doing mine as a photographer, either way I am working at a veterinary hospital right now an I am enjoying it. I am considering continuing my education in a different field like vet tech, but I am so tired of school. I can't complain to much because I still get to do what I love most and that is photography. I am doing my first wedding in September! I am excited, but at the same time scared. I have heard all the horror stories of what can go wrong when shooting a wedding, but I can't wait for the experience. Wish me Luck!!!

One Year Anniversary

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
And tell her they're from me.

Tell her I love her and miss her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for a while.

Because remembering her is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.

Bacon Fest '10

A bacon-ee good time was had at Dad’s Garage March 27th.
Atlantans gathered for Dad’s Garage annual fundraiser. Over 100
attended to join in on the festivities and to listen to some tunes of
bands like the Nine Inch Neils. And I think the picture above is SOO-EE-T!

The Back Pockets @ WonderRoot

The past Tuesday I got the chance to go to an amazing show or shows at WonderRoot. The atmosphere was bliss with a side of creativity. I have shot The Back Pockets before for Creative Loafing, but this time just for the love of their music. They always have an amazing show bringing everyone together with beats and rhythm that are out of this world. Dark Dark Dark was at WonderRoot as well and I have to say I found a new fav band. They are awkward with talent coming out their ass, so the band is a keeper! To check more out on these bands and pics click here.

Shooting Janet or Evelyn

This past weekend Evelyn, Lottie, and I went out to shoot some cool country barns. I told Evelyn to me my model and she was down for it. It was good seeing some of the classmates again and it felt good to hang with people that love to do what I do. We plan on going out again soon, possibly at night and using some cool lighting that we haven't used in awhile. To see more snap ya fingers!

Snow 2010

It snowed like crazy a couple of days ago! But like Georgia snow it comes and then the next day it goes. This was my first snow at my apartment and there were spots that had a lot of snow and lottie found one of them, haha!

Oh and just an update, I got the news back from the Photographer's Forum contest and I got honorable mention, which is pretty cool because there was a lot of contestants. But I still get published in Best of College Photography 2010, so that is really cool. I can't wait for what is next.....

Cahoot With the Root

Yesterday night I got the opportunity to shoot for Creative Loafing at Eyedrum Art and Music Gallery, which held Cahoot With the Root, a benefit for WonderRoot Community Art Center. It was a big turnout with people coming out of the woodwork to see live bands, art from all different medias, and performances. And let me just say it is nice to be out supporting and doing what I love; photography!
