Happy Halloween (from me and the chocolate Lab puppies!)

It's a big day......big, HUGE even. It's Halloween, of course, so it felt appropriate to celebrate with some seasonally appropriate portraits (leaves, candy, etc.) So here's the rest of the images from the Chocolate Lab Puppy Photosession. LOVE!

But the real big deal is that today is my Grandmother's 99th birthday. Yep, she is turning 99 today and we'll be celebrating with a little party at the senior residence where she lives. Should be fun--pictures of that in a few days. In the meantime, enjoy the furbabies. :)

Chocolate Lab Pups - Sneak Peak {Atlanta Dog Photographer}

Yes, more adorable, squishy cocoa goodness!  Earlier in the year I visited the fabulous Starnes family of Newnan to photograph their litter of chocolate lab puppies.  You can see those images here.  It was a real treat when Janel called and said they had some new babies arriving, and we made plans for a return visit.   And it was definitely worth the drive!  I had some different props and ideas for this shoot, compared to the first one, and although wrangling ten (yes, TEN) agile puppies was quite the workout, it was well worth it.

In light of the fact that I'm covered up with wedding work right now it may take me a bit to get all the images ready, but here's one sneak peak in the meantime....

(For the record, no:  the puppy didn't mind the hat.  OK, he did, but we cuddled him and he cooperated)

New Goodies

Some adorable new props just arrived, and I can't wait to use them!  Great for a fun bridal portrait, or a special image you can use later for your Thank You notes.

Erin and Kevin {Atlanta Wedding Photographer}

Erin and Kevin's celebration was on a gorgeous afternoon in Marietta, and everything turned out beautifully. Not perfectly, of course (there was a 'situation' with the cake), but that's the stuff you can still laugh about years later. From the tears of joy when they saw one another for the first time, to the laughter and love in the words they spoke during the ceremony, it was a very emotional and special day.

Jen and Justin's Engagement Party at Canoe {Atlanta Wedding Photographer}

It was an ordinary Monday when I got an email from Jen, inquiring about availability.  What was OUT of the ordinary was the date:  that very Saturday, only a few days away.  Turns out Jen and Justin had a small celebration planned to gather family and friends and share the joy of their engagement.  It also happened that it was the ONLY Saturday in a stretch of busy fall weekends I wasn't booked.  (Do you believe that some things are meant to be?  I sure do.)

The result was that I got to drop by the always exquisite Canoe restaurant and spend a lovely evening with Jen and Justin and their families.  The younger set, in particular, were quite adorable and kept stealing the show.

Here's their slideshow and a few favorite pictures.....
