our town magazine cover | august
The Our Town cover this month features a new couple that has relocated to Smyrna and their furry friend, Jackson. We had a quick session with a lucky break in rain last month. Family pets always add interest and lots of fun. Jackson definitely had a great time and found out where all the people gather on Food Truck Tuesdays!

Ideas on what colors you can wear for your family to look their very best!
We are officially back in school but in my mind it will still be summer for a couple of more months.
Here are some colorful ideas of what you can wear together as a family that will contrast well against the green grass and trees of summer. My best advice is to start as early as possible in the summer for your sessions with young children. The humidity alone is tough in summer months, however, it is still a popular time to hold a family photography session and it can be done successfully. If your children are older go for late afternoons for the wonderful, dreamy light a sunset provides.
Use my What-To-Wear Pinterest Board listed below for many many more options during all seasons of the year. I also have clothing samples specifically for families using the tab on the upper left side of this website.
The Magnolias are fading and my great grandmother’s hydrangea is growing tall.

What a beautiful park for this session…oh no, not a park. It is their beautiful home with plenty of room for two little boys to run and climb. This family can’t help but remind me of our family when my boys were younger and I tried to keep them as busy as possible (and they kept me even busier!). They are waiting on little sister to join them next month and then the fun will really begin! I can’t wait to see if she is as smart, talkative and curious as her big brothers. I hope she will wear a big bow in her hair even if she chases right behind them up the Magnolia Tree.
The picture Mom will treasure most. All those boys will forever adore her!
Throwback Thursday to when I photographed this family for Our Town and the Spooktacular 5K in Smyrna. Spooktacular Chase 2014 will soon be here and you can register and learn more about it at www.spooktacularchase.com. Why not run and dress up at the same time?!! Run with Seemore owl at Cobb Park on October 18th.
Look at my beautiful Senior Models! After our shoot for the June Our Town Cover we had a little fun. These two have been friends since they were little and I’m so glad we now have these pictures to mark the end of their high school careers. They are both going off to the University of Georgia soon and I can only image the fun they will have. They already look like Georgia Bulldogs, don’t they?
What is better than being silly with your girlfriend???
Congratulations to the Class of 2014! Now booking Class of 2015. I have a couple of spots left in August.
