a fun smyrna family graces the cover of our town magazine in july!

I was excited to take pictures of the Groebner family for the July cover of Smyrna’s favorite magazine. We celebrated the 4th of July a little early in their own front yard. There are so many beautiful places for photo shoots in Smyrna, but I always love to capture a family around their own home when possible.

 

This family was an easy pick for a cover picture because I imagined middle school students all over Smyrna being so excited to see their favorite science teacher in their mailbox! The kids are super-duper-cute which doesn’t hurt either. I had fun seeing them messy with watermelon dripping down their chins and elbows! #GoodSports

Happy 4th of July, Everyone!

I was happy to be the Our Town Photographer this month.

Meet the Mathurs! If you live in the Enclave, I’m sure you know one of these four or at least their spunky dog, Dempsey!  They are the perfect Smyrna Family to be on the November Cover of Our Town.

ourtown family ourtown family ourtown familyI’ve known the Cochrans for many years so what a surprise when we were matched up for the latest Our Town. There couldn’t be a more perfect family to be featured on the cover and when we added their new puppy, Buddy, we had cuteness overload! They were a little nervous about bringing Buddy because he isn’t known for his…good behavior (yet).  I’ve worked with lots of puppies in photo sessions so I felt confident he should be there and he definitely did not disappoint. Look how good he is in these pictures! Hopefully he didn’t go home and chew up all their shoes.

What better place for a family portrait than at the place where they spend so much time. Whitefield was very generous and were happy to have us shoot on their campus. The weather had turned cold and rainy again and we rescheduled at least once to avoid SNOW at our session. In Atlanta, we think of warmer weather for March and flowers so we had hoped for a more spring-like setting. Luckily we had bright sun on the day we shot and we avoided the rain and snow after all.

 

Buddy is a Boykin Spaniel.

senior portrait atlanta senior picture red blueLook at my beautiful Senior Models!  After our shoot for the June Our Town Cover we had a little fun. These two have been friends since they were little and I’m so glad we now have these pictures to mark the end of their high school careers.  They are both going off to the University of Georgia soon and I can only image the fun they will have.  They already look like Georgia Bulldogs, don’t they? high school senior girl senior girl picture best friend senior picture smyrna senior picture girls senior pictures girls smyrnaWhat is better than being silly with your girlfriend???
