This is my BFF and her family. All of you people who love my work can thank her for giving me the support to start in this business. Without this woman right here, I would not be taking photos for a living. Her boys and husband are as amazing as she is too!

I swear, this guy has a ‘look’ he gives you that just stops ou in yout tracks. He’s so serious… unless you’re singing. then he’s all smiles. All these smiles you see? Not me at all, it’s his mommy singing in the back. Really.

Merry Christmas, friends!!!

The studio will be closed December 22 through December 27 so that we can enjoy times with our families! We will reopen on Tuesday, December 28 and begin preparing for our big move!!! We will begin moving to 1440 S. Milledge Ave. in 5 Points on January 1, 2011!!!

We know you all will love the new space as much as we do! Less text and more pictures to come next week

Enjoy this time with your families!!!

Meet Kristin, a senior Frankie recently shot!

Okay, this tiny tiny little girl is walking. I mean, I turned around and there she is in her skinny jeans and three inches long shoes and she’s just strolling around! Not. Allowed! I mean, really. No way. This family and I had a fun time bumming around the studio for this session!

This little girl’s mother says “Oh, she’s pure magic. Everyone falls in love with her.” It’s so so true. Meet Chloe. She’s the winner of this year’s Memorial Princess Session. Her nominator wrote “Our Honored Hero for the Athens Leukemia/Lymphoma Society is a 3-yr old girl named Chloe. She was born with Downs Syndrome and at the age of 2 was diagnosed with leukemia.  After 6 months in the hospital, she is now in remission!  I don’t know her last name, but I’m copying the LLS representative on this email so that she can send you the info.  Chloe would be a wonderful choice for your princess because she is one of those “self-rescuing princesses” that should be in more fairy tales.  She’s joyful and loves to sing and dance.  She is just a kid, regardless of how much she’s survived…she’s just a sweet little kid.“

Tonight’s session was super super fun. She laughed and bounced through the session and I found myself giggling so much my stomach muscles hurt! Her daddy flew his little tinkerbell all over the gardens, her mommy blew her kisses and her sister played ball with her and everyone (including me) loved her to bits. She really IS a self-rescuing princess, and the world needs more of her for sure.
