ATLANTA LIFESTYLE BLOGGER | ATL LOVE

Last week my friend Paige Jones and I decided to get out in the cold and do some city exploring.  Paige is always up for an adventure and she makes exploring so fun. Despite the freezing wind, we were able to get some pretty shots of the city and work on our double exposure skills.  You can see her favorites on her blog here.  Enjoy these pictures of our awesome city and pretty Paige! 

Atlanta Food Photographer | Project Sip : Sour Mule

Project Sip is back and we are excited to share our newest drink : Sour Mule.  With copper mugs being all the rage these days, Jenn and I thought it be fun to create a twist on the classic moscow mule.  Grapefruit is winter's saving grace in the fruit department, and we loved adding a sour punch to the gingery taste of the mule.  Thank you so much for following this project and being so receptive and supportive.  We are thrilled to have this drink featured here on Design*Sponge. So hop on over to Design*Sponge and add this drink to your weekend menu.  See previous drinks here here here here and here

ATLANTA LIFESTYLE + PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHER | WAITING ON MARTHA POP UP SHOP

It's almost Christmas! This weekend I successfully finished shopping for all of my gifts and it feels so good to be finished early for once.  One of my favorite things about the holiday season in Atlanta has been all of the amazing pop ups that Atlanta's creatives have opened.  A few weeks back I shot Waiting on Martha's pop up shop at Shops Around Lenox.  Mandy's temporary brick and mortar is gorgeous and so are all of her shop items.  Good news, there is still time to shop! So brave the weather and get those last minute stocking stuffers.  Hand lettered windows by Jenn Gietzen.

Atlanta Lifestyle Photographer | Britt + Ren + Birdie

Hello friends and happy almost Christmas! It has been a little crazy over here and if you follow on instagram you know I've been busy traveling and shooting lots of pretties.  I look forward to catching up on the blog as the sessions slow down a bit and everyone takes some much needed time off.  One session I wanted to share with you now is an adorable at home session that will get you in the festive spirit even more.  This past weekend, I got to shoot Britt and Ren in their festive home that had such gorgeous light and details I felt like a kid in a candy store ;)   They were so cute together along with their adorable pup, Birdie.  Enjoy!
