4th Annual Doggies on the Catwalk ~ {Atlanta, Georgia Event Photographer}

If you know me already, you know I love dogs and of course, photography!  When I first heard of Doggies on the Catwalk,  I thought, "how fun would that be to photograph!"   I saw contact information at the bottom of the announcement and thought, what the heck, I will just ask if I can go and photograph it. I never thought I would actually hear back.  It was right around the holidays, so when I didn't hear back for a couple of days, I wasn't surprised.  About 3 days later, I got the invite that I could go and I was beyond excited!  

Honestly, even if I had never heard back I still would have bought a ticket because I was so in love with the idea already.   I waited patiently for about 3 weeks until the event and then - SNOW and ICE happened and it happened in a big way.   I was really worried about how I would get down to Atlanta when I hadn't left my house in days and it was looking like the weather wouldn't be much better by showtime.  Then word came the day before that the event would be postponed until the following Friday - THANK GOODNESS!!!  Now, I could go with absolutely no worries!  Well, except for the usual nerves, but that's to be expected.  :)

These are a few of my favorites from the night:

It was a fabulous event!  The models looked great, and I give them all the credit in the world for walking in some of those killer high heels!  I can't say enough about the doggie models - SO ADORABLE!  If you have an opportunity to go to this next year, I definitely would recommend it.  I can't wait to see the show they put on next year! 

Holiday Sessions 2010

I had my busiest month ever in November.  Getting ready for the holidays in general and then add in 4 sessions - it was crazy busy!  It was a good busy though for sure.   I warn you...this is going to be a long blog post, but well worth it in the end.  :)


First up is the Voykin, Sorbet, McNaught Family:

Next is the Rutland Family.   Our session was right after the Voykin/Sorbet/McNaught one and was right before sunset.   We snuck in a few right before the sun went down and everything else was after dark with some candles to help out...actually I think it was 24 candles that Danielle and I lit!  :)  

The Crotty Family session was on a perfect day and their backyard was the perfect location.  What I enjoyed best about this was how I was able to find some really cool spots without leaving - right in their backyard!  This is one of my favorite sessions.  I loved the sunlight, the leaves and my favorite part was the cool looking shed!

Lastly, the Cunningham family Holiday session was at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.  It was a little chilly that day, but little Mia was such a trooper and posed like the best of them!  

Thanks to all the families who hired me this year for their holiday sessions and thank you for sharing your Christmas cards with me.  It makes me really proud to see that the photographs that I took of you and your families have been shared with so many.   

Happy Holidays to you all!
