Love in the Afternoon {Atlanta Family Photographer}

On a gorgeous fall afternoon I met up with my friends Don and Stacey, who are getting married this weekend in Helen, GA. Also along for some photo fun were Stacey's girls Grace and Faith, and Don's mother. We had a blast taking pictures to celebrate their newly blended crew and just enjoy the weather and the joy of family.

Congratulations Don and Stacey!

Pet Portrait Day at Bark Station in Woodstock {Atlanta Dog and Pet Photographer}

The next exciting event is coming up this weekend. Lorre and Wes at the fabulous Bark Station are hosting a special Pet Portrait event.  Aside from our classic backrops we will also have some Halloween decor for seasonally appropriate portraits, so feel free to bring your pet in costume!

Wally {Atlanta Dog Photographer}

From his big eyes to the soft fur to his mellow disposition, Wally just seemed like a very gentle soul. There was something so soothing about being with him!

Penelope and Cassie {Atlanta Dog Photographer}

Welcome to the world of "We are having SO MUCH fun that we can not be bothered to hold still for a photo!" This is Cassie and Penelope, two adorable little girls who like to go, go, go. They were a blur for most of our session, but with patience and a quick trigger finger I finally got some pictures of them. Hopefully their jovial nature and happy go lucky attitude shines through.

Isaac {Atlanta Baby Phtographer}

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program for......A NEWBORN!

Things have gone to the dogs lately. Literally. Lots of fantastic sessions with furbabies, some of whom are actually puppies and some just think they are!  So spending some time with this sweet baby boy was a change of pace that I thoroughly enjoyed.  We had completely finished our session and I was packing up, but he was so alert I had to grab the camera for a few more shots.  There will be more from him later but I have to post at least one sneak peak....

And by the way, I have NO IDEA what I did to elicit this expression!

Hairy {Atlanta Dog Photographer}

It's Hairy, not Harry. And there are absolutely no comparisons to be made to the rogue cop character played by Clint Eastwood, either. This guy was so gentle, so freshly washed and brushed and squeezable I about couldn't stand it. His adorable face and cute paws just rounded out the package. Although he was a bit shy we still had a good time.

Brusier {Atlanta Dog Photographer}

Meet Brusier.  Don't let the name fool you, though.....he is one sweet little dog.  He arrived groomed so nicely, with the little face all clean and a blue camo kerchief.   The bandanna didn't last the whole session but his gentle temperament did.  Although Brusier is still a pup his owner Kathy has been working on his manners and commands and he did very VERY well.  There's clearly a lot of love there because she had his full and undivided attention.  His expression and soulful eyes make for a great portrait.

Purry Petunia {Atlanta Pet Photographer}

When Purry first arrived for her session, she seemed a bit unsure about getting out of her carrier.  Not that I blamed her!  The photo area for our day of mini-sessions at The Pet Set was set up in the doggie daycare area.  Naturally it smelled like a LOT of dogs were around.  They weren't, at the moment, but still.....    Eventually we coaxed her out and she put in her appearance for her pictures.  Having just gotten a "lion cut" she had a halo of fur around her head, a closely trimmed body that felt like velvet when petted, and the most adorable pom-pom of a tail.  Purry's owner Dawn tells me that at home Purry 'sashays' around waving that plume of a tail around.  You work it, girl!
