Fresh commercial work from Southern Baja
I just returned from Baja California Sur, where I had the opportunity to work with a kindred spirit + talented prop stylist- ELIZABETH MacLENNAN to bring Lauren’s All Purpose Salve branding to life. This hundo P organic line’s tagline is “anywhere that needs a tender touch” and we infused that wabi-sabi sense into the photoshoot.
Barefoot, sun kissed and happy.
They're already married. So they threw a party to drink sake.
Rab + Itsuka met working for a Japanese recruitment firm and moved to Osaka, Japan for 3 years. They married there, and upon moving back to Atlanta, decided love should be celebrated with closest friends and family. Since they were already married, their anniversary day focused on fun “gameshow” style couple’s games, live music with a childhood friends’ band, and 2 different sake ceremonies.
Sakazukigoto: this is a traditional sharing of sake done by some Japanese couples where a family member ceremonially pours sake into three cups of different sizes, twice; once for the groom and once for the bride.
Kagamibiraki: this is another traditional Japanese ceremony. The bride and groom pretend to break open a sake barrel, and take a drink out of it--kind of like the sharing of champagne in a western wedding; after this, guests can take some too !
The whole evening was really fun, festive, and down to earth.
Atlanta Skyline Engagement
Stacey + Reno opted for an in-home Engagement Session in their midtown Atlanta loft. We totally snuck onto the roof to capture their sunset photos ! Worth the chase :)
Monday Night Garage Wedding
Fun, festive and beer-loving of course ! This couple moved to Atlanta from Chicago and celebrated with friends and family from near and far. Monday Night Garage in Lee + White development of Atlanta’s West End provided the perfect location.
Saint Simons Island, Georgia Engagement Session
Jenna + Kellyn are nature and beach lovers who met at CAL POLY in San Luis Obisbo, California. Living in San Francisco and with families based in California, their wedding will be in Paso Robles on a vineyard. We captured their Engagement Session over the holidays in Saint Simons Island, Georgia, off the coast of Savannah. Running around, playing in the water, and just being silly resonated the most with them, so we made sure their images reflected this love for life. Can’t wait to capture your big day !
Toccoa Falls Waterfall Maternity Session North Georgia Mountains
Atlanta Old 4th Ward Park 1 year Family Session
Finally ! Letting kids be kids. Playing on the slide and in the water, running around in a romper. Rohan’s 1 year session is one of my favorites because he looks comfortable and free, just how a il bubs should be <3
Atlanta Ambient+ Studio Engagement Session
These two booked me for a quick in-studio session to beat the heat and ensure they had print-worthy photos to display around their fast-approaching wedding. We had so much fun with outfit changes and a few games to loosen up. Pretty sure they talked about dinner the whole time. Whatever makes ya smile :)
