Now that BabyRoX is 6 months old, I thought I’d give y’all an update about our journey with Elimination Communication. It’s going well, but that doesn’t mean BabyRoX doesn’t ever go in diapers. He would probably use the potty a good bit more if I was willing to take him all the time, but I quickly realized that I was not a fan of pottying him at night – it interrupted my sleep too much. Some nights he stays dry, but he’s been growing – …read more

Maria & Sean | Engagement Session by +Mishaun
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
I have always considered myself a night owl. I tend to stay up until the wee hours of the morning. I find myself most productive during the middle of the night. In college, I pulled my fair share of all nighters especially during finals week. I remember taking study breaks to watch the sunrise. There is something so majestic about watching the light spill over the landscape. So when Maria first approached me about doing a sunrise engagement session I was thrilled! I made sure …read more

do you know what the Human Rights Campaign is? you should. I didn’t. I do now. when I first heard of it I had some vague notion of an organization having to do with the violation of humane treatment of individuals in other countries…prison conditions, political prisoners, canings. or something. I’d seen the ubiquitous blue square with a yellow equal sign in it, and knew what it represented. I just didn’t know it belonged to the HRC. I don’t necessarily say this proudly, but I live …read more
Eileen & Alex’s Wedding Preview by +Raven
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Well, I finally visited New Jersey. And it was more than a little terrifying, for this slow-moving Southern tortoise. BUT Eileen & Alex’s wedding MORE – way, way more – made up for dodging all those quick hares and their no left turns on the highways. And no convenience stores. There’s a lot of traveling left to do this year, and I’m STOKED that this one was in the list. Grounds for Sculpture is one of THE most amazing places I’ve ever been. And it’s …read more
Prom Night
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
- Posted by Krista Once upon a time, I didn’t like high school. I got good grades and managed to avoid the shame of riding the bus once my friends and I could drive, but mostly, high school sucked. I couldn’t wait to break out and move on, away from the math classes I loathed and the mean girls that teased me. (And now, the lessons of adulthood: I really don’t ever need to differentiate functions or find the points of tangency in a right …read more
To My Son | Wednesday by Leah
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
To my dear son, Thank you for making me a mother. Not just any mother, but YOUR mother. For you are a radiant and joyful being, serious yet happy, intense but filled with light. You take my face in your tiny hands and stare so deeply into my eyes… focused, probing. I wonder what you see there. And then you break into a smile so huge (and toothless!) that I wonder if your look of intense concentration was just a figment of my imagination. How do …read more
Sarah + Dawn | Wedding Preview by LeahAndMark
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
- Posted by Mark One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is simply the fact that I get to attend so many different types of weddings. Along with all of the traveling I do – the many variations of ‘wedding’ is one of the reasons I’m never bored – and why every wedding is both a challenge and honestly still very entertaining to me. This year so far I’ve photographed engagement sessions in San Francisco, weddings in the Bahamas, Arizona and of course …read more
Introducing the Season [Eight] Interns
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
- Posted by Mark So here we are at Season Eight of our Photography Internship. We have a studio, we have way too much gear, and we have an army of photographers. Of course – running the internship and making sure it’s actually worth something takes a lot of effort – which is why no one else does what we do – and definitely not for free. We’ve always said that our Photography is ‘Free & Unpaid’ – even though that’s largely untrue – since …read more
Allison + Chris | Wedding Preview by LeahAndMark
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
- Posted by Mark You might remember Allison & Chris from when we posted their engagement session photos a few months ago! It was really great to finally be able to photograph their wedding – because I knew it would be crazy amounts of fun, lots of cool, and more awesome than most people can handle. And it was all of that. Also. Have I mentioned how great it was to hangout with some folks from New Jersey? ha. Yes. The best. Allison & Chris. …read more
Gabi & Marc’s Wedding by +Raven
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Gabi & Marc are kind of amazing. And I seriously mean that. They’re two of the healthiest, most positive, and genuinely fun people I’ve ever met. Hands down. They run marathons together. They cook together. They’re raising 5 amazing and uber-talented kids. They have crazy-impressive jobs {rocket scientist and a government agent!}. And their families are unbelievable, too. Almost every single aspect of Gabi & Marc’s wedding was lovingly handcrafted by either themselves or a family member. Marc’s daughter made their cake & cupcakes. All …read more
Moving
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
-Posted by Leah We just moved from a teeny tiny space to a much bigger one, to accommodate our growing business and family better. So now I have some advice for moving house with a baby! 1. Don’t. 2. Ok, just kidding about #1. Sort of. I mean, don’t approach this like I did and think you can do it all by yourself while taking excellent care of your offspring. Get help! We had lots of help but I should have asked for even more, …read more
The Beautiful People by +Raven
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
And by “The Beautiful People,” I mean you. <3 At the very beginning of my decision to become a photographer – well, I say decision, but really, it just HAPPENED – I was timid about a lot of things. Weddings, for example. They terrified me. After hearing countless horror stories, I had pretty much made up my mind that I would never be interested in shooting weddings. And then something changed my mind, and now I’m kind of obsessed with them. A similar thing happened …read more
