Hello & Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! Usually i shoot a couple for the first time during their e-session but for Dana & Mike this was round 2. I had the opportunity to shoot their surprise proposal which was amazing. This e-session was a breeze and they were super comfortable. I love couples that just want to have a great time and celebrate the fact that they are getting married. One of the many reasons i love shooting couples. We started off at the Carter Center and rounded up at Virginia Highland.  Looking forward to their big day. Check out some images from this shoot. Enjoy!

Hi there! Thanks for dropping by. I have a fun, colorful, and stylish e-session to share today. Olamide & Dotun rocked this shoot like stars and had a blast in the process. I absolutely love when couples just have good ol’ fun on shoots. Olamide first said “No” to Dotun when he asked her to be his girl. However, they were destined to be together so that “No” eventually turned to a “YES”!!. Congrats guys on your engagement and upcoming wedding! This shoot took place at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and the Virginia Highland area. Styling, wardrobe and accessories provided by Ladyee Boutique. Make up by Crys Doukoure (Crysdoukoure@gmail.com). Check out the short story below and some images from the shoot. Enjoy!

Olamide was 15 and Dotun was 17 when they met in Lagos, both just out of high school and(naively) thinking they were ready to take on the world. In a very short time they became best of friends, every morning they traveled together to their respective exam prep centers(SAT exams for Olamide & JAMB for Dotun).
Everything was happy and blissful in their young lives until “a small issue” cropped up. Their
accounts of the incident as they remember it;
Dotun: I politely asked her, a gentleman even at 17, to be my girlfriend and she just said “NO” without even thinking about it. A brothers’ feelings were really hurt but I took it in stride and remained her close friend(NOT).
Olamide: I said “NO” because I was traveling to the US for college, so I didn’t think it made sense to start a relationship that would end shortly afterwards. Sorry love.
Dotun: There lies my problem, a 15 year old is not meant to think that way. You were supposed to just swoon at my *coughs* devilishly dark good looks and just say “YES”.
Olamide left Nigeria sometime after that, they tried to keep in touch through emails but Life happened and they lost touch after a while.
They grew up out of touch, until 2007 when Olamide visited Nigeria for her sisters’ wedding and searched Dotun out. Happy to have found each other, they spent the next few days getting to know each other again. 9 months later they were dating and about 4 years after that, 3 days to Olamide’s birthday, Dotun popped the question.
Dotun: Finally got her to say “YES”, twice. Thank you Baby Jesus.

Hello everyone and happy Memorial Day! I have not posted an E-session in a while so i am happy to share this awesome one with you.  Carliss and Wayne met each other for the first time at Piedmont Park and have been together since. So keep in mind if you are single and you are walking around a park you might just bump into your future partner :). I really enjoyed hanging with Carliss and Wayne.  Congrats on your engagement guys! Looking forward to your wedding in September! Below is a short story of how it all started and some pictures from the day. Enjoy!

Carliss and Wayne met on a hot and sunny day sitting on a bench at Piedmont Park on Father’s Day, June 9, 2007. They spent hours talking and laughing that day and have been inseparable ever since. After sharing nearly 5 years of blissfulness together, Wayne decided that it was time to pop the question, so he did very unexpectedly on one knee in their bedroom on Valentines Day 2012.

Hello people, hope you guys are doing great. The last time dada had me on the blog i was a newbie explorer :). Now i am a full time pro. I now go wherever i want whenever i want ( except the stairs..folks got a gate there 🙁 ) They are constantly trying to talk to me but i don’t quite understand their language. I usually have an idea of what they are trying to say but pretend i am clueless lol (Allows me to get away with a lot of stuff). Maybe one day they will understand my own language. Mama & dada are the best in the world because they always feed me, read to me and let me watch barney & Yo Gabba Gabba….Love those shows! It was nice catching up with you all. I’ll be back soon. Check out a few pics of me chilling at the park. This place was funnnn! I went down the slide, played on the swings, rode on a bouncing horse thingy and even drove a truck! Enjoy 🙂
