Hello Everyone. Hope you had a great weekend. I am excited to share this E-session not because it’s another E-session but because Mathilda & Osa are “my peoples” lol. I’ve known Mathilda for a looong time. We hung out/partied a lot back in the days (and still do) and I was always taking pictures with cheap camera’s..lol. When I look back I remember vividly Mathilda telling me how nice those pics from the “cheap camera’s” were and that I should consider taking up professional photography. I did not think too much about it back then but here I am now doing it years later 🙂
For the shoot Mathilda and Osa had a great idea of a vintage/retro e-session so we worked together and put this awesome shoot together. We hit up Stats Atlanta, Centennial Olympic Park and The Biltmore Ballrooms. I had a blast. Congrats guys! I am truly looking forward to your big day! Check out the story of how it all started and some images from the shoot . Enjoy!
It was a Saturday like any other, I was relaxing after a long week at work. A couple of the guys had asked me to come out that night but I had passed because I was exhausted. One of my very good friends Bose called to let me know that there was a 40th birthday party she wanted to invite me too. Initially I refused because I was so tired but then my sister from another Mother, Sase, called to ask what was going on that night, I told her about the party but told her I was not sure I was going but she eventually convinced me to go, Sase is persuasive like that, her mouth sweet well, well. So I jumped in the shower and got dressed, went to pick up Sase and was prepared to not stay very long at the event. We walk in and as I surveyed the room I notice her. Standing tall, commanding the room, gorgeous and with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. She had this mane of hair on her head, looking all Amazonian and herbal. But there was one problem she was hanging around this guy almost the whole night so I was not sure she was single (he would turn out to be her older brother). I kept my eye on her all night and eventually she moved from the guy’s table to a table with a group of 5 – 6 of her girlfriends. As any man with sense knows, it is extremely dangerous to try to penetrate a pack of babes in the wild, especially when you are not sure the lady you are after is single. So I sent Sase to do some Mission Impossible and Inspector Gadget work for me. Sase came back and said that the coast was clear, she was single and that her name was Dupe. The whole time Sase was giving me grief because she said I was “dulling” and I should just go talk to her. But a gentleman waits until the right moment abi? When I saw my opening, I walked up to her. She had her back to me, I put my hand on the small of her back, leaned in and said Dupe Right? She turned around and smiled……and the rest is history

Hello! TGIF! To get your weekend started i have a great e-session to share featuring Ama and Collins! Ama wanted a shoot with a city feel so we figured somewhere in buckhead would fit that profile. I am glad we did because the city look fit them perfectly! I met Collins for the first time on the day of the shoot and we immediately clicked. Normally it takes guys a bit longer to get comfortable but not Collins :). Ama & Collins made this shoot exciting and fun with their great sense of humor. I really had a great time on this session and can’t wait to shoot their wedding later this year (Shout out to Victoria for sending this lovely couple my way 🙂 ). Check out some pictures from the day. Enjoy!

Hello and thanks for swinging by. I have a great wedding to share today. Kourtnie and Bobby (Check out their fun s-session) tied the knot last month and i am so glad i was part of it . Kourtnie and Bobby are more than just clients they are good friends of mine. I defintiely felt like i celebrated with them as a guest and not as a hired vendor lol 🙂 . I am truly blessed with couples that know how to have a good time on their wedding day. It’s easy to forget and get carried away with all the craziness of a wedding, but on the day of it should be all FUN with no holding back! That is exactly how Kourtnie and Bobby’s wedding went down. The wedding ceremony took place at the Salem Missionary Baptist Church, Lilburn and reception at the Georgia Aquarium. Congrats guys! I wish you a blessed and happy married life! Check out some images from the day. Enjoy!

Hello Folks! Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend. Today i have an E-session featuring Shawnell (Happy Birthday Shawnell! )and Will. Shawnell found out about me through another wonderful client (Linnea & Vincent). It really seems a majority of my clients are linked which amazes me all the time. From the time i met Shawnell and Will i just knew they were a really fun and down to earth couple so naturally i was positive we would have a great shoot. While it was supposed to be a nice warm spring weather it was literally freezing on the day of the shoot. Kudos to Shawnell and Will for braving the weather..lol. Congrats once again guys. Looking forward to your wedding! Check out the pictures below and the story of how it all started. Enjoy!
It was February 2009 and our dear friends Danielle and Charlie Miller were playing cupid. After checking out each other’s myspace profile picture and listening to our friends tell us all the many reasons why we should meet, we finally decided to do an informal “meet and greet” at the bowling alley. It was NOT love at first site. Although we were physically attracted to one another, Shawnell could not get past the hideous fur hat Will was wearing with his deep “country” accent, meanwhile Will could not get past Shawnell’s slightly “sidditty” mannerisms and could not make sense of her out-going Cali girl personality. The “meet and greet” was an epic fail…
For the next few months, we would run into each other in Atlanta. Our friends never gave up on their vision of us dating, so often they would make little comments about how we should try going on a solo date or talk on the phone. We could not see our friend’s vision, but something changed on July 4, 2009…
July 4, 2009 Danielle and Charlie Miller were married at the Georgia Aquarium. That night at the wedding reception destiny and love met the dance floor. After dancing the night away, we realized how much fun we could have together. After flirting and giggling the whole night, we grew interested in one another. Romance was in the air and we decided to exchange phone numbers for the second time.
On July 10, 2009, we went on their first date at Café Intermezzos in downtown Atlanta. Café Intermezzos was the perfect first date! Shawnell appreciated Will’s southern gentleman approach and Will was attracted to Shawnell’s intellectuality and radiant beauty. We spent hours talking, laughing, and learning each other’s passion in life. We never wanted the date to end. That night marked history for our love story. We have been together ever since that first date at Café Intermezzos.
Through the years our love grew into something special, unique, and truly divine. It was in our divine purpose to unite our lives together. We are truly better together. We can’t wait to become Mr. & Mrs. Johnson and celebrate with our family and friends. We are ready for October 19, 2013!

Hello Folks! I have a fun e-session to share today featuring Kourtnie and Bobby. This shoot was too much fun! We literally played games on this shoot 🙂 . Bobby is not just a client but a good friend (We go waayy back ) so i am excited i’ll be a part of his big day. It’s funny because whenever i see Bobby i always joke with him and ask when will he get married? and he always tells me one day..lol. I ran into him at a party and asked again when will he get married? but this time around instead of his typical excuse his answer was “i am engaged and will be getting married soon!” I was definitely happy (and really surprised lol).
Kourtnie and Bobby are such a fun couple and they wanted their pictures to reflect that so Kourtnie came up with some really amazing ideas for the shoot. We started out at Dave & Buster’s then hit up their fave ice cream shop Cold Stone. We also dropped by the AMC Theater for some cool fun shots. Next up was Atlantic Station for some outdoor shots and lastly to the Marriott Marquis Hotel. It was a really fun day. Congrats guys. Looking forward to the big day. Check out their story and pictures below. Enjoy!
Our story is kind of a funny one. When asking Bobby he will tell you we met at my mother’s house, when I answered the door to let him in. I don’t agree because I didn’t introduce myself and neither did he. I simply opened the door, directed him where everyone was and went back to doing what I was doing. We didn’t even share small talk. (I did find out later from him that he inquired about me ☺) Now, the day we ACTUALLY met… It was at Salem’s Annual Church picnic September 2009 when a mutually loved and respected “mom-like” member of Salem introduced us. Although we did not exchange any contact information at that time, we both knew there the spark was lit to our eternal flame! The spark that remained a small glowing ember for 4 months! Yep February 2010, that is when Bobby asked (so sweet but very formal) “if I would be his Valentine?” I said yes and just six days later it was official Bobby Hagan & Kourtnie Woods became a couple and the flame begins to burn. On February 19,2012 the flame burns BRIGHTER… during a surprise trip to New York completely planned by Bobby to my absolute AMAZE Bobby proposed on a dinner cruise, and just like that Bobby Hagan & Kourtnie Woods will be Mr. & Mrs. Bobby Hagan in April 2013 and the flame will burn FOREVER!
