The MC of the night kept the crowd engage. Their were gift being handed out all night by raffle tickets that were given to every guest as they entered the room. Chicago Skyline was the Step and Repeat and a delicious dinner was served your choice of Salmon or Chicken. The guest danced the night away as they tossed to the birthday girl. We were so thrilled that we could be apart of this celebration and captured moments from this milestone.

My Truth ... My Success.....
Reflections of Success on my journey in Photography….
Shiny Pretty Success Business
Dreams of Success using the natural gifts that we possess and learning things along the way.
I never looked at myself as successful. Although I've been running around with my camera for years and at one point I was capturing so many special events I was like ... I am the women I'm running this event scene in Atlanta
I'm the go to event photographer and I'm working with so many event planners and what makes it even better is that I'm a Certified event planner too!
That makes my job even better. Not only do I capture great images to tell the story of the event, but I pay attention to details and I'm building everyone’s portfolio!
Yay me!!!
Well well.... it wasn't until I attended a photography workshop and I straight came out of my bubble.... I thought everyone in attendance were new to this game of photography , but when I start seeing all the photo gear and seeing photos taken by my fellow photographer I suddenly realize... Oh you are not who you think you are for sure.
I became intimated and now I didn't want to show my work due to being called out by rookie errors and not knowing the proper way to balance light for the photos.
Well I continued into my dream world of being the go to social event photographer and I was determine to polish up my skills
So again I would look at all these magazine worthy photos and great shots with beautiful lighting with hopes that one day I will be that successful photographer
I had hopes to work with some of the finest vendors in Atlanta!
Then one day after going through some images from an event I realize I worked along side of a vendors that is in the who's who of events around Atlanta and that wow... You really are successful.
uncertain of what that really meant for me in the beginning but through this journey I realize you have captured amazing images you work with amazing vendors and your images have been used in magazines, blogs book covers flyers and so much more. So success is all in what it is meant to you personally and goals that you set out to achieve...
So re design success on what that means to you and you will be and Already Are successful!
It's a great day to be alive.
Elisha ~

40th Birthday Celebration in the Garden !
You've heard of a vegatable garden, a flower garden and even a secret garden. So with all that in mind earlier this year we were contacted by Ronda, she was putting together her birthday celebration and she decided to have an intimate dinner with friends in her private home. The theme of the dinner party was Garden.
Friends How many of us have them? Well for Ronda, she has quite a few that joined her for a private chef table experience. It was a milestone birthday and she decided to celebrate with her closest friends over some delicious dinner paired up with the best-tasting wine for the entree. We were so happy to be apart of the beautiful celebration and we totally appreciate being able to take a delicious plate home.
A very welcoming table scape with customize menus fresh flowers and paired dinner wines for the meal.
Appetizers and drinks were served as the guest awaited the time to be seated for dinner.

A Moment with Mother!
A moment with mother!
A flash back to the Saturday before Mother's Day we travel approximately 60 miles to Serenbe Farms to capture a beautiful luncheon with daughters and their mothers. This event really had me feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside. Seeing the love between mothers and daughters. One delightful part of the luncheon was a video presentation that featured the daughters giving special Mother's Day messages. For me it warms my heart to be able to capture these timeless images that will be cherished for generations to come.
The beautiful setup for all the mothers and daughters
The ladies were able to mix and mingle while we awaited the program to start.
Captured Moments while they enjoyed refreshing drinks and home style muffins
Ladies enjoyed a beautiful video presentation of the daughters giving Mother's Day messages to their mothers. After the presentation they were gifted with beautiful charmed necklaces.
A game was played of how much you know about your mother which brought lots of laughs
Mother and daughter images were captured to cherish this day.

Cardi B thanks for Inspiring me!
We recently hosted our Portfolio & Perspectives Style Shoot Workshop in Atlanta, Georgia
As we were busy styling up our main table for seating we were inspired... So here goes my story of Inspiration!
So those who are not familiar with the rap star Cardi B she has been headlining blogs, news outlets and she was made super popular by her authentic style on Instagram. This young female rapper just recently dropped her debut album and when I saw the cover art I was so inspired.
Our Inspiration after a quick screen shot of someone ele's creative artwork featuring the album cover design art
I absolutely love loud colors they scream happiness to me. So with the inspiration of the album art cover, I was inspired to design my recent table scape for our Portfolios & Perspectives Event Design Workshop around the inspiration of the album cover. Searched my mind and took an immediate inventory of items already owned that I can pull this look together. Just a few basics and we got what we envision the color palette that screams fun!
This was a fun table scape to put together! I love lots of colors its screams happiness.
So I hope you are able to feel the joy in the images as we were excited about creating

Prom Seasons... A Distant Memory
in Prom, Photography, Photo Session
The year was 2007 and just the fall of the previous year we had picked up our camera and we were ready to take on the world and capture everything in it... So as time went on and opportunities presented themselves to us we were happy to oblige. Prom Season on any giving year begins in March and goes through May.
We were contacted by the parents in order to capture images of their son and his date on their way to senior prom. So delighted that we were able to offer our mobile studio services to this client. We arrive at the home in which it was a Pre Prom Party going on complete with all the family and food and the energy was super high. We set up in the living room with our standard gray backdrop and we had a white column that stood to about your thigh area. As we placed the couple in position we begin to capture images of this memorable occasion. I've just recently came by this memories of the past with my humble beginnings. I'm Thankful and Grateful of the journey and experiences that I've had to capture the many couples, family and friends during their seasons of celebrations. It thrills me to connect with so many people and be apart of their life memories. Just like that its a memory at a distant.
This distant memory is now eleven years ago. I pray these two individuals went on to pursue their passion and dreams and are living a success and properous life.
