Atlanta's beautiful spring weather means a chance to get outdoors for some fun family photos. We had a great time shooting this beautiful family and even got in a workout chasing their two energetic boys. Morgan Falls Park in Sandy Springs is one of my family's favorite hangouts and a great photoshoot location. We loved mom's red cape idea and it was the perfect strategy to help entertain the kids while getting some great, natural light shots - that's one smart mom!

The result of a shoot at an amazing new local business concept in Atlanta called Brother Moto, a place that supplies the "motocurious" with the necessary tools, environment and knowledge to work on their own bikes. This Atlanta business is more than just a shop, it's a community dedicated to the love of motorcycles old and new. It's a great place to hang out, get access to great tools, like specialty wrenches, or simply get a cup of coffee. Owners, Bobby and Jared are some of the nicest people I've had the pleasure to shoot and totally passionate about their business.
In just under 24 hours a series of Wells Fargo social posts went from concept to reality. Got to work with a great team of advertising creatives in Atlanta on location scouting, talent selection, props and execution. Social posts were a hit on Facebook!
While scouting locations for an upcoming Verizon Wireless photo shoot, I stopped by Piedmont Park to test out the late afternoon sun peeking from behind the beautiful Atlanta skyline. As I snapped a few photos, I couldn’t help but notice a nearby father and son running around, roughhousing and rolling down hills. I went over to talk to the inseparable duo to see if they’d be interested in helping me out in exchange for a few photos. The dad was very excited about the prospect of an impromptu photo shoot and kindly stuck around until the sun broke through the clouds. When it was time to shoot these two pulled out all the stops running, playing, jumping and being silly. It didn’t take long to capture the sheer and simple joy of a father and his son at the park.
This father and son team were a lot of fun to photograph and I got a ton of great shots that will hopefully make their way to desktop backgrounds, wallets and desk frames. After looking at the time stamp of the photos, I was especially surprised to see that the whole shoot took less than 5 minutes. When you have something so true and genuine as the love between a father and son, it’s easy to capture the perfect shot.
If only every photo shoot came with delicious food! We recently had the pleasure of taking portraits of Rusty Bowers owner of Pine Street Market in Avondale Estates, GA.
Rusty is a natural for creating the tastiest meat cuts you’ve ever had and his passion for his work comes across on the camera. We chose the shop’s iconic chalkboard as the backdrop and used a human-sized setup very similar to the recent pet photo shoot. The space was a little tight for all of our gear and at one point we had to actually put one of the light boxes outside an open window, which would have been fine if it hadn’t been for the pouring rain. Luckily our light box wears a poncho well.
We had a great time taking photos of Rusty and sure didn’t mind all the samples we got to try – like the most amazing soppressata and prosciutto. Really had a hard time keeping Elizabeth focused on holding a reflector while Rusty sliced 18 month aged prosciutto for one of the shots.
