Abramson Family Portrait Session – Savannah, GA

Posted on June 13, 2014 by admin

You guys, I love family portraits. I’m not talking about stiff, posed, boring family photos. I’m talking about family photos where you can actually feel the love through the images.

I took these photos when I was in Savannah for my friend Lindy’s wedding. I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Not only was the weather perfect, but I feel like I got to know the Abramson family so well. We had so much fun! And the photos oozed happiness.

During the shoot, we got Grandma in there too. And we even ran into my handsome friend, Austin the Golden Retriever!

All in all, a perfect session (complete with beach balls and giant balloons, of course!).

Savannah, GA Wedding – Megan and Chris

Posted on November 20, 2013 by admin

At the end of September I had the opportunity to photograph Megan and Chris’s beautiful wedding in Savannah, Georgia. I was so excited to not only shoot this incredible wedding, but also have the opportunity to see my friends and family that live there.

The wedding was held at The Mansion on Forsyth Park, and I don’t think I could have asked for better venue, weather or scenery.

Special thanks to the incredibly talented Shannon Christopher who helped me photograph the ceremony and all the vendors who contributed to making this day go so smoothly.

Megan’s amazing wedding cake is by Savannah’s Hall of Cakes.

Congratulations, Megan and Chris!

Holga, A Love Story

Posted on October 19, 2013 by admin

One of my favorite classes in college was my Medium Format class I took my sophomore year. There was only one assignment: take photos of whatever you want with a Holga camera. This was the class where I really got into the groove of developing my own film and learning darkroom techniques.

You really have to use your imagination when shooting on a $20 camera made of plastic. Light leaks, natural blur, and color shifts occur. And since everything is manual, it’s also easy to make double exposures either by choice or accident.

I sold my Holga when I graduated. Although I was still in love with this toy camera and it’s ability to take perfectly imperfect images, I really had no clue when I would be in a darkroom again. And the cost of processing 120 film is extraordinarily expensive, so I felt like it would be put to better use in someone else’s hands.

Fast forward to 2012, when I had really decided to fully pursue photography. I started craving a Holga again. I found one on Amazon for $18 (don’t buy a $60 one from Urban Outfitters– it’s a rip off). I ordered some film along with and and decided to start shooting with it as a supplement to my focus on digital photography.

I finished several rolls of film over the course of the past year. I took my Holga with me when the situation was special, but taking my 5d along wouldn’t have been the best choice. I developed all the film in one go this week, and I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Here are some of my favorites– a trip to Six Flags, camping, a horseback ride in Hawaii, and a dear friend’s wedding. And the best part was, everything was scanned and digitized so I never had to step foot in a dark room!

Austin the Golden Retriever

Posted on July 2, 2013 by admin

I love dogs. Like, I really love dogs. I love dogs more than I love most humans. So whenever I get to photograph one, I go bananas.

Or in Austin the Golden Retriever’s case, we go chicken bologna.

I met up with Austin and his mom and dad the same day I shot Lindy and Jason’s engagement session. It was such a fun end to the day, Austin ran around and played with his toys and showed off his tricks in exchange for some chicken bologna. (Luckily, that stuff isn’t as fattening as the classic kind so Austin can watch his figure.)

On top of being really smart, cute and friendly, Austin is also a therapy dog which makes him a well-rounded badass. (Read: I wish I could clone him.)

Don’t you want to just cuddle him right now? I know I do.

Savannah, GA Engagement Session : Virginia + Nick

Posted on June 6, 2013 by admin

Love is in the air in Savannah!

After photographing a wedding and another engagement shoot, I finished out my visit to Savannah with Virginia and Nick. We hit the hot spots of historic downtown, Leopold’s Ice Cream parlor, a few squares, and River Street!

Nick is a golfer and wanted Masters colors for their wedding. Virginia compromised and they used the colors for the shoot. I think they looked amazing! And Virginia’s hair is so lovely, I wish mine could keep a curl like that!

Congratulations, you two!

A Plantation Wedding in Savannah with Kristen + Chris

Posted on June 4, 2013 by admin

On April 27th, Kristen and Chris got married on a beautiful plantation estate in Springfield, Georgia. It was the perfect, intimate, casual, backyard wedding. Kristen and her bridesmaids all wore handmade dresses, and Chris and his groomsmen all wore suspenders. Everyone had a special part in this celebration, too. The bridal party even put together an awesome photobooth complete with wigs, toy guns, and crazy animal hats!

The entire day was filled with laughter, love, and happy tears. I was so happy I could be a part of capturing the emotions that day. I had a blast! Congrats, Kristen and Chris!

Lindy and Jason : A Savannah Engagement

Posted on May 14, 2013 by admin

Earlier in the month, I traveled across the country to Savannah, GA to photograph a wedding (that blog post is coming soon!). While I was in town, I squeezed in two engagement shoots on top of the wedding because I’m an over-achiever and I could not bear to go a day without taking advantage of the awesome locations that Savannah has to offer.

Lindy, a good friend of mine who was one of my go-to models when I was studying photography at SCAD, got engaged to her best friend Jason back in March, so of course I demanded I take her engagement photos! There was so much thought put into this shoot, I may as well have been doing a high production fashion shoot!

The three of us spent the entire day together and went all over town, from the beach to historic downtown.

We started at a delicious and beloved breakfast spot, The Breakfast Club. Then we headed to Wormsloe Plantation, which you may recognize from this famous scene in Forrest Gump.

Afterwards we stopped by the Savannah Candy Kitchen for some sweet treats. We discovered some unique locations in the gardens of the SCAD Museum of Art and I was able to see the amazing venue at Ships of the Sea Museum where their reception will take place next year.

THEN We stopped by Mabel’s Cupcake Emporium for some of the yummiest cupcakes ever and took our loot over to Forsyth Park for a picnic.

Phew! It was a long day but I had an amazing time and I can’t wait to be a part of their wedding! It will be the party of the year! Congratulations, you two!
