love matters

Meet Nicole + Ross. They are Minnesota transplants who recently moved to Atlanta. They did a fabulous job of making it through a sweltering two hours on this hot Atlanta evening. Without sweating. They weren’t even glistening. For having dealt with sub-zero winters for their whole lives, I get the impression they are professionals at…

We had been planning this session for weeks. Angela + Shawn knew they wanted to have their engagement session at Lake Lanier Islands. They enjoy many weekends on their boat at this lake and wanted photographs running through the sand, in the water, and at the magnificent bridge you drive over after entering the park.…

These two are self professed homebodies and they tell me they don’t know how to date. These two had been through an engagement session once before and sadly, were not thrilled with their photographs. I was happy to turn around their experience with photographers and also happy that Michael was willing to give it a…
