Today is a special day! It’s the Anniversary of birth of my dear ole mother!
August 6 a great day in history for our family. My mother was born in Sparta, Georgia she was one of five children of her parents. Her father died when she was five years old leaving my grandmother a widow and left to raise her 5 children on her own. At the age of 11, my mother and family moved to our home town of Springfield, Ohio. During those days many black folks were looking for better conditions for their lives and the lives of their families. They found better life for themselves and settled in Springfield, Ohio!
Down the line… She married my father.. and she had a seven children of her own with 3 bonus children.
Happy Happy Birthday Mother!!!! Wish you many many more!

Feel Good Friday is such a real thing. When you had a pretty busy week, a variety of appointments and you running from pillar to post it feels good to come to a Friday evening where everything slows down and you can finally exhale and take it all end. Thankful for all the opportunities presented this week and look forward to the activities happening this weekend.

This is a behind the scenes look at capturing a 1st birthday session! The beautiful girl was dressed super cute for her milestone photo session! We captured beautiful images of the family at Old Forth Ward Park located in Atlanta!
On this date I took my friend along with me to capturing images of me in action capturing the family. This is one of my favorites from all of the ones she took.
This images also encourage me to begin to exercise more and drink more water!

So now we have entered in the 8th month of the year 2022! I feel like the saying funny how time flies when your having fun. It’s seems as though things have been pretty eventful and I’ve had a calendar full of activities and appointments which tend to make the year go by pretty swiftly. At times I’m planning to get so many things off of the ultimate “TO-DO” List and then I have the daily weekly monthly task that I work to stay consistent with and before I know it items on the ULTIMATE “TO-DO” List are still there and I’m trying to figure when am I going to get to these things??!!!!
Now that we are into August I have a few things that I must get ready to do.
We have a few product ideas that are still in the development stages and I have some additional items within are photography business that we are wanting to offer. Our goal will be to at least have those things completed by the end of the month.
Now that I’ve officially put it out here, I’ve got to do it! So now you will hold me accountable for my actions or lack there of!

This week has been a pretty busy one for us! We’ve had many appointments on our calendar this week and it feels like we have been running from pillar to post! So today after finishing up some of our contract work we did a big exhale and had some quiet time just to take in the moments of peace!
That feel-good moment hit real nice this Friday!

Throwback Thursday!
The year was 2007 and I was celebrating my birthday with having a get together at my apartment. During that time myself and some of my close friends we regularly hosted card parties ever so often. This was a time when we would invite a mix of people over play card share in spirits eat some good food and talk allot of trash when playing the game. In our network card parties were the place to be! Aww that just seems like a lifetime ago. Well for my birthday that particular year we just decided to do the same thing except it’s my birthday so we were added birthday decorations and a cake! So as we gathered everyone together to play cards enjoy some great music eat good food and fellowship! We made allot of great memories with our gatherings. There is nothing like a great night of friends and fellowship and talking trash while playing a good game of spade!

It’s Wedding Wednesday! We’ve decided to discuss when capturing a wedding the variety of categories we have when separating our photos. Each Wedding that we are blessed to capture we provide our clients with a shot listing, this is to give a general idea of the shots that we will/can capture on your wedding day. At the end of a wedding event and when we begin the processing the images, we take and break our images down in to folders so that it will make processing those images allot easier and not so overwhelming. A full day wedding can easily have 1,000 images or more taken.
So here are a categories for capture:
Venue
Details and Décor
The Bride & Groom
The Ceremony
The Wedding Party
The Family
The Reception
Event Activity (ex: photo booth, sign in board)
Once we are able to put them in these category folders our job in processing gets easier, some folders are going to have allot more pictures then the others. Most time I will take on all the small folders and save the big one for last

Let me give you something to think about…
The quality of the life you’re living today is the total sum of the decisions you’ve made over time.
Let me make sure that didn’t go over your head.
EVERY decision you make has an outcome. The quality of life that you’re living right now is reflective of the outcome of a previous decision.
How you decide to spend your time.
Where you decide to work.
What books you decide to read.
What you decide to eat.
What you decide to believe about yourself.
How you decide to take advantage of an opportunity.
How you decide to use your money.
How you manage your credit.
The cool thing is that you can change your outcome by making different decisions, ultimately changing your life.
If you LOVE your life, keep making great decisions. If you don’t love your life, it’s time to start making some new decisions.
Here are some KEY decisions that significantly impact your quality of life:
Who you decide to hang around.
Who you decide to date/marry.
Can you identify an area on this list where you’ve made a decision and you can CLEARLY identify how it’s affected the quality of your life?

Throwback Thursday Photo Session: The Year was 2011 and I had decided to go out and take some photos with my camera! This session was sure to a hit seeing that I was using my camera as a prop!
Also I brought along my zebra print stool that I thought would be fancy in capturing a few photos!
I tagged my older sister along and handed off the camera to her so that she can take my pictures.
FYI: My sister doesn’t have a steady hand and she does the best she can when you hand her the camera!
Oh the good ole days of 2011 “Photographer Branding Session”

It’s that mid-week check in. Somedays my head is so down in and buried in my work when I look up from the computer screen, I’m trying to figure out what day is it. Ha! It’s Working Wednesday! Yes, we have officially made it to the middle of the work week! So we are checking in to see how everyone is doing and how’s your week going so far? Ours is going pretty good. We’ve had a steady flow of work that we are marking projects off of our todo list! This week we are editing pictures from some recent photo session as well as follow up on up and coming events.

One of the great things about being a special event photographer for social events is the emotions that are captured of a moment. The process we have of captured event we move around and we look for and anticipate moments. Their are some moments that are just lucky ones for us, those ones we lived to get!
One thing for sure when looking back at that particular moment in time you can see the tenderness of that moment. So to say one of the great things about being a special event photographer is the connection between the people the event and that special moment in time.
