My People Don’t Fit Into A Box

By Kelley / November 28, 2016 /

Every marketing course I’ve taken and instructor I’ve had has told me to determine who is my target client. Where do they shop? What food do they love? Where do they love to travel? What sports make them stand up and scream? What music do they like? What soothes their soul when it’s been a…

Lake Allatoona Family Portrait Session In Bridgemill – Loan Family!

By Kelley / November 14, 2016 /

We scheduled this session in the middle of what was supposed to be prime leaf-turning-radiant-colors-before-they-all-fall-off time. Our autumns can be fickle. The temperatures can drop to the 40s and then come back to the 80s. So much of our forests are evergreens, which makes looking for fall colors a bit of a hunt. And we…

Piedmont Park Atlanta Engagement Session – Kimberly + Dawayne ENGAGED!

By Kelley / November 7, 2016 /

These two are both from Chicago, although Kimberly has been in Atlanta most of her life. She met Dawayne while she was interning in Chicago for a few months. It didn’t take him long before he asked Kimberly out on a date and they were smitten. When her internship ended, she moved back to Atlanta.…

Romantic (and Slightly Monsoony) Downtown Atlanta Engagement Session – Ashley + Keith ENGAGED!

By Kelley / October 10, 2016 /

We had rescheduled this session a few times. Both Keith and Ashley are traveling machines when it comes to work. Then their session date came and a previously clear forecast clouded up and not-so-gradually had higher and higher percentages of expected rain. But there was no rescheduling this session, even with a deluge of rain.…

LOVE What Matters – I Don’t Care About Your Job Title

By Kelley / October 7, 2016 /

I’m not interested in your job title. Whether it’s top ranking leadership or entry level in any organization. I want to know if you make time to be with the ones you love the most. I’ve had a fancy title and a paycheck to go with it. It was fun for awhile. It definitely paid…

Sope Creek Mill Family Session In East Cobb, GA With The Coles Family

By Kelley / October 3, 2016 /

When you’ve got littles with loads of energy and fierce wills, it can be a challenge to get everyone together. But I think we did it. Their boys are the cutest! We were bummed the oldest son couldn’t join us. Last minute plans changed. Which means we’ll need to get together again soon for a…

LOVE What Matters – I Don’t Care How Much You Go To The Gym

By Kelley / September 30, 2016 /

I don’t care how much you go to the gym. I don’t care if you take sweaty selfies. I don’t care about your protein drinks. I want to know if you’re present. Are you fully present when spending time with the people you love and enjoy the most? Does the phone get turned over or…

LOVE What Matters – I Don’t Care What Kind Of Car You Drive

By Kelley / September 23, 2016 /

I don’t care what kind of car you drive. Although, if you have heated seats….that may be the way to my heart since I tend to freeze for the better part of a year. But what I really want to know is… Do you find ways to expand your horizons? Via car, train, or plane?…

LOVE What Matters – I’m Not Interested In The Numbers On Your Scale

By Kelley / September 16, 2016 /

I’m not interested in the numbers on your scale. Or the size on your clothing tags. They don’t seem like good qualifiers for human value. Although, those numbers do seem to instigate shame and pain. I’m not interested in those numbers that measure our size or shape. I want to know if you do things…
