Snow in the ATL

Parts of the country that are not usually "treated" to the hallmarks of winter weather got a blast of it this week. In Atlanta our sparkly white blanket of snow arrived on Friday, causing school closings and gridlocked traffic. I took a stroll down Peachtree Street at around 9:00pm and captured these images of Atlanta as winter wonderland.

Quincy {Atlanta Pet Photographer}

Just starting to edit this session with Quincy, who belongs to my dear friend Cara. Here's a peak....

Gardens at Sandy Springs (Atlanta Dog Photographer)

Recently I accompanied my friend Cara and her dog Quincy on a visit to the Seniors at a local retirement community. The residents seemed to have a good time and enjoy petting Quincy and watching him perform his tricks. Well, some of his tricks--he got a little overwhelmed by the crowd and didn't put on his best performance. But judging by the comments and smiles on faces we considered it a success!

Waterfalling

Saturday I went on an excursion with friend and fellow photographer Scott. His specialties include architectural and landscape photography, quite a different cup of tea from my usual subjects, so it was fun to get a taste of something different. The weather was cool but not miserably cold, and overcast--perfect for photographing waterfalls. Our destination was the North Georgia Mountains and a few favorite spots he hadn't visited for a while. We had fun!

Unfortunately I was hampered by a battery issue as well as forgetting my tripod mount, but I got this shot.




Here's Scott getting set up with Sally the dog by his side.

Just back from holiday travel...

Back from visiting family for Christmas, with some presents, a few extra pounds, some great memories, and a TON of photos. I'm still catching up on some sleep so only time for one tonight. It's a storyboard of a cute moment between my mischievous little nephew and his great grandma. More to come!

More from Taffy and company {Atlanta Dog Photographer}

A few more goodies from my session just before Thanksgiving....

Sneak Peak - Randy, AnneLynn, and TAFFY (Atlanta Dog and Family Photographer)

Sometimes it's clear right off the bat who's the star of the household. Saturday was no exception: I got to spend some time with Randy and AnneLynn, who have been married for 25 years. They were super nice, really warm and fantastic people. But Taffy the dog did her best to be the center of attention....and mostly succeeded. Here's a sneak peak...
