LifeStyle Portrait Session: Atlanta Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 02:14:00 +0000

Meet Brian, Brandon and Braylon, and Pam. I had the honor of photographing this family portrait session with one of the sweetest and most adorable families. Some clients i sometimes don't meet until the day of the session, but I always try to set the mood to one that's relaxing, comfortable and fun and for me that mood is one that makes me and my clients laugh. When i first met these young gentlemen they were so shy...well not Brandon but by the end of the session i was sad to see us part :( I must also give a BIG SHOUT OUT AND KUDOS to Pam for raising such well behaved, well mannered and spiritual minded boys!

Here are a few images i want to share from their session!
Thank you Pam, Brian, Brandon, and Braylon for allowing me to photograph you!

Fish Thymes

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 23:58:00 +0000

Some of you know how much i love great food. That's one of the major reasons i work out so i can splurge when it comes to good eating :) I received a call one friday, from my former client Erica who introduced me to Veronica owner of Capers and who was getting ready to open up their second restaurant call Fish Thymes in Acworth.

From the minute i starting talking to Veronica I was excited, her thoughts about what she wanted to do was very exciting to me since (1) I consider myself a foodie and (2) I have a fetish for photographing food and new places creating new experiences for me, my clients and for you too! (3) She and Erica talked about the opening of the new restaurant in such a way I couldn't resist working on this project! All I can say is that I SOOOO RECOMMEND YOU MUST TRY FISH THYMES!!!! This restuarant is what i call FABALISS!!!

The decorum, the food the overall atmosphere is is great!!! The food makes you literally I'm not kidding you, it makes you feel like you're going into a wonderland food coma LOL!! It's just that good you want more and more and more....ok sorry I'm losing it :) but seriously that's how great the food is. I want to share some photos of the restaurant and food! If you have any questions/comments just drop me a line here on the blog! or at michelle@mwsphotos.com :)

we certainly can't forget about the delicious desserts!

Chaundria + Darrell "Happy 10th Wedding Anniversary"

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:19:00 +0000

One of the nicest pleasures a photographer could have is being hired to work for past clients again and again. This couple were truly just a hoot and awesome to work with. Chaundria and Darrell are coming up on their 10th wedding anniversary next month! Its so wonderful and encouraging to see happy couples and they are just as happy as when they first got married. I'm so proud and happy for Chaundria (i've been knowing her since she was knee high as the old folk say...yes I'm telling how mature I am :) but its ok when you're maturing like fine wine (ok that's a little corny) but moving right along. I had a great time photographing this sweet good looking couple. I must give a special Thank You to my assistant for the day Elishama!!! Thanks so much Elishama, couldn't have don't it without you.

I had a hard time selecting photos because there are sooooo many i love, so enjoy! And feel free to leave me a comment, feedback or just to say hi!

Sabrina + Dexter Say "I DO"

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle) — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 00:58:00 +0000

As I start this blog post I can't help but think about the movie "Shall We Dance" with Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez, Susan Sarandon and a host of other great actors. There's a part in the movie where Susan Sarandon ask the question "Why do people get married?" I was so romantically touched by her answer to the question that it moved me to forever remember it.

Her response in the movie was: "Because we need a witness to our lives. There are a billion people in the planet, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage you're promising to care about everything, the good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things, all of it, all the time, everyday. You're saying that your life will not go unnoticed because i will notice it, you're life will not go unwitnessed, because i will be your witness".

Now i know all that might be a mouthful, long winded and maybe even a bit on the mushy, but that line in that movie came to mind when i began to post about my clients Sabrina and Dexter. This couple couldn't be more perfect for each other than these two. The words of Susan Sarandon just reminded me of this couple. They wanted to be a witness to each others life more than anything just focusing on being a witness to each other and i could feel and see that especially in Dexter I could so tell that he is deeply in love and crazy about Sabrina and it just bubbles forth.
If you're curious about that scene in the movie you can google it but in the meantime
here are a few images from Sabrina and Dexter's day!

Thank you Sabrina and Dexter for allowing me to document being a witness to your lives :)

Rosemary + Arthur Wed

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle) — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 12:46:00 +0000

I'm so excited to share with you this couple i had the pleasure of photographing last month. I'm little behind in blogging so please forgive me. I've got better things coming soon so stay tune!! But getting back to this lovely couple Rosemary and Arthur. When i met them and heard their story I see why they were meant to be together. Rosemary has such a mild, calm, relaxed spirit about herself and so does Arthur but you can see in Arthur's eyes that his love for Rosemary runs very very very very deep! "Its important that a man love a woman more" since woman love naturally and more readily, when you find a man and rosemary has that loves her more than he loves himself you have priceless gem. At the reception when friends were making their toast one of Arthur's bestmen said Arthur called texted her (yep one of Arthur's bestman was a dear close former roommate of his thats a female :) ) numerous times and said she had to come home because today he met the woman who would be his wife! How amazing is that!

I was totally honored to photograph these to very sweet loving people! Thank you so much Rosemary and Arthur for allowing me the opportunity to share on your most important day!

Rosemary got to see one of the best man/woman before the ceremony exchanging hugs and excitement of joy!

Rosemary and her girls!

The Atrium Wedding - Rosemary + Arthur Sneak Peak

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle) — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:53:00 +0000

We had some really bad weather this past Saturday and I thought for a minute or two that Rosemary and Arthur were going to have to switch to the back up plan of having their wedding indoors instead of outdoor as they planned. But we were so VERY fortunate the rain subsided and we had the ceremony outdoors after all...YAY!! It was awesome and the timing couldn't have been any more perfect! Here's a photo for now from Rosemary and Arthur's wedding. Can't wait to share more images from wedding so stay tune!

rosemary + arthur engagement session

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle) — Thu, 26 May 2011 01:43:00 +0000

With the exception of the winds being a little breezy, the day was perfect when i met with Rosemary and Arthur to photograph their engagement session. This couple is so adorable, by the end of the session I just felt like they definitely belong together. They are both tender and caring toward one another and it shows. They met at the elementary school Rosemary worked at. Arthur was giving a presentation on Career day and had been doing so for several years. The funny thing is Arthur had never ran into Rosemary or caught a glimpse of her for the number of years he had been participating in Career Day, but when he did catch sight of Rosemary it was as they say "love at first sight". I'm so excited to be photographing their wedding day next month! Here are a few images from their engagement session.

This is an engagement session of my client that I'm so looking forward to photographing next month! Amy + Gregg + Gabby.

Amy, Gregg, and Gabby were so super for being patient and accommodating. I want to "Thank You" guys and can't wait for the Big Day next month. Here are some images from their session.

Random: Pizza Night

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle) — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 03:13:00 +0000

This has been a long and busy week for me so when my dear good friend Elishama called me and asked what was i eating for dinner i replied: "i'll probably stop by No Mas Catina and pick up something to go" she sweetly offer her reply: well i'll make you a veggie pizza. Now just so you know the kind of person I am, I rarely turn down food. One of my nicknames could be miss piggy LOL. That's one of the reason i HAVE to work out because i do enjoy my taste buds being arrested by the many flavors of food! So now getting back to Me and Elishama, needless to say I was over to her house in a flash...so after today my evening ended on a delicious note and i have a photo to prove it! Have great weekend everyone :)
