Steph and Hadz, Motherhood Documentary Photographer


A mother daughter morning


These two. They speak the same language. They exude the same full hearted feelings. They are a team, and I love to hang out with them. I've known Stephanie for almost as long as I have been in Atlanta, and Haddie was my daughter's first friend, born a month before her. I met them at their place in Atlanta to photograph them as they leisurely got ready to take a walk around the neighborhood. After the two helped each other get dressed and ready, we were out the door, collecting gingko leaves and exploring a water fountain at a local neighborhood business. Haddie wanted to show me a nearby garden and walking path, so we set out in that direction. Along the way we stopped as Haddie explored her voice's echo, noticed buildings and towers in the horizon, and found sticks to wave around. Stephanie experienced it all right along with her daughter, and watching the two of them was pure magic.

Humble Treasures Outreach


Humble Treasures Turkey Bash

My inspiring friends Tiffany and Shawn created Humble Treasures, an organization that works to match the needs of individuals with those who can help meet them through donations of clothing and household items. They put together these Thanksgiving baskets for the Community Turkey Bash and were able to give everyone in attendance plates, silverware, napkins, tablecloths, and decorations for their Thanksgiving meals. It was a pleasure to get to watch them do their magic in action. Humble Treasures is taking off in a newly renovated camper to do some amazing things in the community. Please check out their website for ways to get involved.

Christmas Decorating with the Wsols, Lilburn Documentary Family Photographer


Deck the halls


There's something about putting things away in a box for a year that makes it extra exciting to rediscover them. As a portal to the past, each ornament is a memory to celebrate, pieces that together tell the story of the present. I loved watching the Wsol story being written on their tree as they decorated. Sweet memories were relived when the silver reindeer that were used in their Christmas wedding came out along with the story about how the kids rearrange and play with them every year. Vivian and Fin enjoyed showing me their elves and playing with leftover tree branches as their mom and dad planned out where to hang the brand new Christmas lights they got for outisde. It really is the most wonderful time of the year, especially when you are a kid.
