Happy Birthdays!!!

I know, I know, I have been quite the slacker... it has just been so busy that I have not had much opportunity to blog.

But here I am, trying to catch up --although it will take a few days. Since I have so many posts to do, I will combine the first two.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELEN!

Helen's Big 40 Birthday a few weeks ago. It was a great party --a complete surprise pulled off by husband Barry and friends.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA!
And a few days after, Julia turned 3! She is now a big girl (well, maybe medium?) -- She celebrated at home with a few little girls and this is my favorite sequence... she could not have been any more excited!

Thanks for bearing with me... and come back soon for a new maternity session and a great CD release party!

Laura Coyle CD Release Party!

SAVE THE DATE: Next weekend - Friday and Saturday, Sept. 19 and 20th Churchill Grounds is hosting the release party for Laura's debut CD!!

I met Laura while she perfomred at a wedding I shot this past July. She is very talented and I hope her new CD release is a success!

I will also be showcasing her music on my wedding website too, so make sure to check :)

Below are some details about the evening, from Laura:

"We'll be celebrating both nights with a stellar band: Louis Heriveaux on piano, Craig Shaw on bass and Kinah Boto on drums. And very special guests: Sept. 19th, Friday night: Mace Hibbard on alto sax Sept. 20th, Saturday night: E.J. Hughes on tenor sax (and trumpeter Melvin Jones will be stopping by later after his performance with the Atlanta Jazz Chorus!) First set each night begins at 9:30pm There is a 10$ (cash) cover and a 10$ minimum.

Visit churchillgrounds.com for directions and information. Churchill Grounds (located downtown, next to the Fox Theatre) is Atlanta's premier jazz club and we've assembled some of the best musicians in Atlanta to play selections from the CD along with new tunes to create an enchanting evening of straight-ahead vocal jazz. This is one you definitely won't want to miss, it will be a while before we have a show like this again!

This is a grass-roots promotion effort, so please pass this along to your music-loving friends!! - and THANK YOU for your support!! I couldn't do it without you! "

Rich and I will be there on Friday for the first show and we hope to see many familiar faces!

Enjoy the show.

Teresa & Dave

Teresa & Dave got married on August 30 at Primrose Cottage in Roswell, Georgia.It was a beautiful summer day, luckily not as hot as we thought it might be!

Both of them looked amazing and it was so sweet to see how emotional they were.

Below are some images from their beautiful wedding, and you can see a slideshow of many more by clicking HERE.

Thanks Teresa & Dave for allowing me to be part of such a special time in your lives. It was an honor to capture the memories that will be the beginning of your family history.

I also want to thanks Allen Gunn, who was my second photographer that evening and my amazing husband Rich who was my assistant and also shot some great images!
And very special thanks to Julie Newman and Mike Lyons (below at the wedding reception) who referred Teresa to me. The best compliment to my work is when a client refers their friends and family to me!

Remember to check out Teresa & Dave's wedding slideshow by clicking here!

And as always, you are welcomed (and encouraged) to leave comments below.

Thanks,

Welcome Isabella!

This is Isabella.


She was born just a few days ago, on August 14th and I had the pleasure to photograph her on her 10th day --her actual due date if she had not been anxious --just like mom-- to come meet and greet all the people awaiting her out here :)

I photographer Isabella's mom & dad a few months back while they were both very excited awaiting her birth. We had a lot of fun then and repeated it now.

But do not let me go on and on... and let me show you what a beautiful family this is!

Here are a few images for you to enjoy... mom & dad will have the rest of their gallery soon so that I can design their birth announcements and they can send them out fast :)

Enjoy, and please leave your good wishes ooh and aahs in the comments section below!







Isn't she adorable?

Heather & Tony, my deepest thanks for your cotinued trust and for opening your door and your hearts and allowing me to document these special times in your lives.

Kate & Emily

A few days ago I went over to Kate's salon and got a great haricut and fabulous color... as always :) -- Kate is the owner of Mod Salon in Alpharetta and I have done some work for her earlie this year, photographing models for her new space and website.

This time around, I convinced Kate to let me photograph her (she is gorgeous!) and I not only got her, but also her daughter Emily, who was fun and easy to work with and takes some amazing pictures! I really had a blast and I can't wait to photograph Emily some more (ok, mom is fine too), but while mom fights me to get in front of the camera, Emily just loves it and it makes it be way too fun for me... so we talked about a new shoot soon with wardrobe changes and the whole 9 yards --can't wait--

...and maybe next time we get dad and Teddy to be participants instead of observers ;)

Here are a few selected images from the day (it was all about headshots).

Mother...

and daughter...

And do check out Kate's salon here.

Thanks!

Ainsley & Greg's Wedding

It was a beautiful August day in Roswell Georgia when Ainsley and Greg gathered with family & friends at Primrose Cottage to say their vows and mark the beginning of a very exciting and awaited time in their lives.

It was not only beautiful because the weather was nice... but because there was so much love and support for this couple in those rooms. You could feel the great energy of everyone gathered there and it made it a very special day.

I truly enjoyed working with both of them and I hope you can see that through the images that depict their day.

Below are just a few, but it is hard to get the complete feel of the day in just a few images, so I invite you to see their slideshow by clicking here.

And please, let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Thanks a lot Ainsley & Greg for allowing me be a part of such a memorable day in your lives and to capture these images that I hope become part of your family history for years to come.

And a special thanks to the fabulous Brenda Winn, who joined me as a photographer and to the marvelous Caitlin McLaughlin who assisted me and also worked her camera quite a bit.

All my best!

Andrea.-
