Sassy Senior Photos

Posted on January 8, 2015 by Samantha

On this unusually below freezing day here in Atlanta, I’m reminded of this great photo shoot. It was supposed to be a very rainy day, but it ended up being beautiful, though a little muggy. This girl was fun to shoot, and more of a tomboy than our usual female clients. She even brought her dog along with her to join in on the fun. The dog didn’t seem to mind the heat that day, and neither did anyone else.
I can’t wait until this winter is over and I can get back to doing what I love!

Senior portraits with memories from the past

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Samantha

I’ve found that one of my favorite places to photograph is the Marietta Square. This lovely girl and her mother joined me there on a rather hot day for some photo fun. Her photogenic personality seemed to bubble through in every photo, regardless of the southern summer heat. She even brought an old headband she wore in her first ever school picture. It almost brought tears to her mom’s eyes to see her little girl all grown up.

I apologize for the great delay in between these posts. I will try to do better in the future!

Beautiful Baby………BOY!

I had the opportunity to photograph a friend’s newborn son. (I also photographed the mom and dad’s wedding several years ago!) The couple decided to wait to learn if they were going to have a son or daughter. Their handsome young man was an angel to shoot and barely fussed! For being only one week old to the day, he was a great model.

Brother’s Betrothal

Posted on April 8, 2012 by Samantha

I was overjoyed to hear that my twin brother was engaged, and even more elated that I was able to take their engagement photos! They truly are the all-American couple – a firefighter and a teacher. We roamed around downtown Longview finding more industrial locations to photograph. And of course we had to take some at the fire station, too! It was one of my favorite shoots because I got to see how happy my brother is with his fiance.

The Love Between a Mother and Daughter

I very much enjoyed this photo shoot! We went to East Cobb Park and played on the trails, in the stream, and on the playground. I love the idea of taking young children outside for portraits where they can be themselves. It was truly a joy to photograph this family!

A Firefighter and His Country Princess

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph a friend from middle school with his soon to be wife! It’s always special to be able to share those special moments with a friend. It was a fabulous country shoot including amazing locations like hand made log homes, cow pastures, and an antique tractor.

Cheesin’ Children

Photo shoots with children are a source of joy! You never know what they are going to say, or what fun faces they are going to make. These were shot at the preschool where I work. I love these kids!

Lovely Laws

I enjoyed this family shoot. The main focus were the two children, Sarah – toddler and Kristen – infant. Even though it was a chilly, brisk morning, we had fun. We shot at the Marietta Square in Marietta, GA. If you’re looking for a place for a great family shoot, look no further than the Square!

Blinded by the light

I had a chance in college to intern with Southern Exposure Magazine, in Franklin, Tennessee. I shadowed their main photographer, went on assignments just for me, and I also had to come up with my own assignments. It was a wonderful experience I’ll never forget!
