Pollard Family – 3G’s

May 7, 2010 | Kids, Lifestyle, showcase | 12 Comments

A few weeks ago i had the opportunity to shoot such a unique session that featured three generations of lovely Pollards. It was a really beautiful and emotional session. It was also a tribute to mothers and their constant never ending love and affection. The Pollard’s were soo much fun and we really had a blast. Happy Mothers day to all the Beautiful and Caring moms out there! Check out a few of my favs

Harry contacted me a few weeks before his grand plan to ask if a could capture the special moment. I was really excited about the opportunity and also the fact that i’ve worked with them before . I was very happy for Harry as his plan worked to perfection and off course Geetha said “YES”!! The proposal was done on the rooftop of the W hotel Downtown. . This is my second roof top proposal coverage (Aziz and Dion) so i was very prepared :). Below is a short story from the bride-to-be’s perspective and a few shots from the day. Enjoy

Meeting Harry was nothing short of “by Divine design.”   Of all the billions of people and places in the world that my perfect other half could have been….he lived just five floors below me in our condo building!  There is no way that our meeting could be chalked up to mere serendipity.  We have shared the most memorable, blessed, and magical sixteen months of our lives.  Harry possesses a true gift in turning what might otherwise be considered mundane into something absolutely extraordinary and magical.,,or something that would be memorable into something unforgettable.  The day that Harry proposed, he told me we would be celebrating a huge milestone in my life… the 5-year anniversary of beating cancer (I am a breast cancer survivor).  He told me he would pick me up at 6:30, but when I left my office building that Friday, Harry was no where to be found, but instead he had sent a black towncar with a driver!  The driver took me to the W Hotel Downtown, where Harry stood beaming and dangerously handsome in his suit.  He handed me a single rose and said that he wanted to share more milestones with me.  After champagne, and strawberries and chocolates, the W’s manager said “we’re ready for you.”  I thought we were going to have dinner at the steakhouse in the hotel, but instead, the manager led us to a set of hidden elevators, and pressed the top floor labelled “H.”  I had no idea what it stood for.  When we got to the top, we stepped out…and were literally outside atop the W Hotel and….there was a helicopter waiting for us!  My jaw dropped.  After a breakthtaking tour of Atlanta by helicopter where we saw the sun go down and the sky radiate pink and purple hues, we landed on top of the Helipad and Harry walked me to one side of the helicopter, and asked me if I was happy.  No words could begin to express the sheer joy I have experienced with Harry these last sixteen months.  He said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and then on bent knee proposed against a  backdrop of the Atlanta skyline ensconsced by the cotton candy sky.  The tears of joy kept coming and coming…and when I thought nothing could get better than this…Harry turned me around, only for me to find my parents, Harry’s parents, and his sister standing there on the helipad!  Being able to share the most joyous moment of our lives with our families meant more than the world to both of us. So….just like that, Harry turned the anniversary of the hardest period of my life, into the happiest moment of my life.  As surreal as this fairytale proposal was…the best part is that every day I get to be loved by Harry feels like this.  Truth be told, I could not have conjured a man as amazing as Harry even in my wildest dreams, where imagination knows no bounds!

 

Lorretta & James E-Session

April 14, 2010 | Engagement Sessions, showcase | 16 Comments

I did an E-session for Lorretta & James recently and came to the conclusion that no matter how long it takes you can still find true love and Happiness. Both Lorretta and James already had families of their own but somehow they were able to find each other. During the session it was really evident that they were meant for each other. Congrats guys and looking forward to the wedding in July! Below is a short story on how they met and a few of shots from the session.

During Thanksgiving season of 2008 James was shopping and planning the meal with his daughter and family. James said a prayer and asked for a partner in his life to share future holidays with moving forward. I happened to have log on to an on line dating site for only the third time to look around and THERE HE WAS!  His NEW profile was sweet, endearing and heartfelt.  I could tell he was a great man from the brief description. We met the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and went on our first date the Friday after.  Our FIRST date was actually an all day event.  Starting with a workout at the gym, lunch, museum and then out for live blues. It was unforgettable and sparked our love for each other as the days and months past.  James and I both have busy schedules, careers, kids and family but we always find time to connect with each other for those special moments that will last forever.

Lance & Crissy Engaged

March 23, 2010 | Engagement Sessions, showcase | No Comments

I met Crissy through a mutual friend so “technically” I consider Crissy my friend also :). Crissy contacted me a few months ago about her wedding and wanted me to be her photographer. I was very excited about the opportunity and happy to be part of her special day. Crissy is a gentle, kind and fun person and Lance is such a great husband to be. When i met up with both of them i noticed how great a match they were because their personalities complimented each other so well. The shoot took place at STATS Atlanta (their fav hangout spot) and at Centennial Olympic Park. We had an awesome and fun time. Congrats guys and looking forward to your wedding. Below is a short story of how the couple met and off course a few shots from the session. Enjoy!

Lance and Crissy went to Georgia Southern University and attended the same graduation ceremony, but they didn’t actually meet until they both moved to Atlanta. They remember seeing eachother in the GSU athletic center though – Lance attended a weightlifting class next to a volleyball class that Crissy taught. “She always wore blue Adidas shorts.” … “He was always reading or studying before class.” A mutual friend brought Lance to Crissy’s birthday celebration about two years ago and it was then that they became friends. They quickly began seeing more and more of eachother and soon became “official.” Today, Lance and Crissy can’t imagine their lives without one another and feel truly blessed in life and love. Their big day is in July and they can’t wait to say “I do!”

Finally, a post on our new addition. As most of you already know, my wife and I had a baby last December (Remember i did a Maternity shoot for my wife click here).It’s been an interesting ride and a wonderful experience. It’s amazing how fast he’s growing and how much joy he brings into our lives. We’ve decided to attempt to have a shoot for him every month to capture the growth stages. One of my cherished moments so far was when I smiled at him and he smiled back..Simply PRICELESS! As you will see in some of the shots below he can be very happy atimes. He is such a character and can’t wait to do more sessions with him. Check out a few of our favorite shots.
