Atlanta Lifestyle Family Photography In Piedmont Park – Rand Family
Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of photographing this family again. We ventured ITP (that’s Inside The Perimeter, for you non-Atlantans. I-285 is a circular highway surrounding metro-Atlanta and is a dividing line to many for an acceptable distance to drive…either from inside, or out) to Piedmont Park in downtown Atlanta. We started early in…
Read MoreHello Canon. Goodbye Nikon.
I did something this month that I never thought I would do. I left Nikon. After having a wonderful 20+ years with them, I decided it was time we parted ways. It was a good run. I loved every minute of it. Or almost. Which then lead to switching teams after months and months of…
Read MoreDo You Believe In Ghosts?
It’s been awhile since I shot this wedding. I’ve never shared this image publicly, but it continues to perplex me.

This kiddo hammed it up good with…
Read MoreLazy Summer Days On The Lake
We were rained out a few days while Up North. The overnight thunder storms were deafening and lit up everything inside. Even with the blinds closed. When the bad weather cleared out, we were outside. The kids were throwing hoops or on the water. My girl child loves to water ski. This was the first…
Read MoreSide Trip To Duluth Minnesota With The Family – Part 2
We absolutely loved exploring Duluth and enjoyed the friendly locals. Even walking out at night felt safe, so I had the pleasure of photographing the harbor at night underneath a waxing moon. The aerial lift bridge at Duluth Harbor on Lake Superior was fascinating. There are only two of these bridges in the world (the…
Read MoreSide Trip To Duluth Minnesota With The Family – Part 1
The kids and I have never been to Duluth before, but my honeys went once when he was a teenager. It’s one of the top ranked cities in Minnesota and now I can appreciate why. It was absolutely gorgeous with buildings dating back to the 1800s and unending views of Lake Superior. I learned that…
Read MoreAnnual Fourth Of July Family Vacation In Minnesota
Every summer, my family makes the 1300+ mile drive up to northern Minnesota. We normally stop overnight in St. Louis, grab a few gooey butter cakes and bottles of my favorite barbecue sauce and then head out early the next morning. This time, we stopped just outside of the Twin Cities for a dinner with…
