Baby Hailey

I have been waiting to meet Miss. Hailey for a few months now. As you can see she is FULL of smiles and LOVE! Her mommy and I have been friends since high school, and when she was born I just knew that we had to have a lifestyle session! Miss. Hailey was so easy going, and camera ready. It was awesome watching my best friend, and new mommy, interact with her sweet girl. My best friends mom was there also, we were able to get some great pictures of her interactions with the little Miss as well.




I am SO excited about watching Miss. Hailey grow up! She is so lucky to have such great parents, and a wonderful extended family. Thank you for sharing your bundle of joy with us!

{RISEN}

Today David and I are returning to my home in Wilmington. I cannot remember an Easter without my feet in the sand, watching the day start Easter morning? One time, they were doing work on the beach, and it is dark before the sun comes up, obviously. So, they had on lights from some of the heavy machinery guiding us to the spot on the beach where the service would take place. It was like something out of a sci-fi movie. We got a good laugh as we “followed the light.” Then, there are some memories of being really cold. One year we made front page of the paper. We were sitting right down front, and just so happened to be the only family in focus in the picture…it was special. And then, there is last year, when David came for the first time. Unfortunately, I did not get the message across that is was casual and he wore his precious seersucker suit. THAT, is why I love that man!

I could not edit this image at all. I cannot, it is sacred. Just as it was last year. And, many years before then.

Denis Reggie brings us the {LIGHT}

Every 1st Thursday, of each month, we get together with our networking community and talk about wedding photography, and learn a thing or two…or a lot! Haha! We have been so thankful for Pictage, and our Atlanta PUG! Both David and I feel like we leave each meeting encouraged about ABJ Photography, were our business is going, and what we are still capable of doing. It is such a sweet experience to have very talented and established Atlanta photographers sharing helpful tools and techniques. We can remain current, and also better establish our brand thanks to this network.

This Thursday we had the esteemed pleasure of spending three hours in the presence of the GREAT photojournalist photographer Denis Reggie! We learned a lot about who he is, and where he has been. He changed the face of wedding photography {for the better we think} from stiff photos to “moments” that we all dream about. You can read more about him here: Denis. If nothing else, at least read the bottom of that article where it tells you about a few of his clients.

I look forward to putting into use all the techniques that we heard about, and better preforming for our clients. Here at ABJ Photography we strive to grow and learn all the time. We are excited about all that is in store this wedding season, and all the special moments that we will get to freeze in time for our very special clients!

Antique Comforts

I was in Asheville for a few hours on Sunday, yeah, a few hours. But, I had a wonderful time at my client meeting and got the chance to hang out with some friends. The kind of friends that just make my heart feel good and remind me that these relationships are less about common circumstances and more about true friendship. Before dinner I had a chance to wander around my favorite antique place, take some pictures, and dream about future rooms…in my future home. Good times.

Swain Battle of the Bands

This weekend David and I got to go to the Swain’s annual party and take some pictures. We had a blast, and LOVED all the skits! Everyone had great costumes, and great talent! Here are some of the highlights.
