Posted by +Debra  After leaving Kruger National Park we began driving through the country down towards the Cape.  It was about 3 days of driving, stopping the first 2 nights in various cities.  My siblings and I opted to journey the scenic way to give ourselves an opportunity to experience and see the awesome diversity in South Africa’s climates.  We watched the lush green trees, mango orchards, litchi farms, and banana groves turn slowly into the low feld with tall grasses and long thin trees.  The further …read more

- Posted by Leah There was a wonderfully beautiful post on Offbeat Mama the other day – one that resonated with me on several levels – as an adoptee, as a parent, and as a person who loves to ponder the intricacies of identity, of transitions, and of family. One quote in particular has been bouncing around in my brain: “Sometimes holding yourself back, playing your cards close to the chest, is the only defense we have. Our silence makes us secure.” I’m a very open …read more

{photos and text by +jo} iPhoneography. That’s what really got me to take my self a little more serious about photography. There are a lot of opinions out there about iPhoneography and what it’s applications mean to a lot of different industries. I didn’t have a clue one year ago. I’ve written about what the internship is and what it did for me. Something that I don’t think I’ve fully put out there is that I truly haven’t been at this photography thing very long. …read more

I recently made a journey to South Africa, the country where I was born.  I moved to the United States when I was 11, so returning to South Africa gave me an opportunity to experience the country as an adult.  For me personally it was an opportunity to know the country my family is from, and also an opportunity to reconcile with my father, whom I hadn’t seen in 18 years.  He remarried and had 4 children with his new wife, so I was able …read more

Apply for Season Seven of our Photography Internship Here. - Posted by Alumni Intern Chris Wow. What’s changed for me since the internship, huh? A LOT. But in case you don’t know me, I was part of Team Awesome (also known as Season 2). To explain where I am now, I have to explain where I’ve been. If you do remember me, you can skip the next couple of paragraphs. About 6 years ago, I took a retail job in the mall at Picture People. …read more

Being a Boy Scout by +Raven

LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers

Being a photographer is a lot like being a Boy Scout {or so I’m told}.  It means being prepared. Always.  FOR ANYTHING.  Especially as a wedding photographer. It’s happened before where I’ll bring a group of interns out to shoot in some crazy condition or another, and at the end of the session, when I ask if they learned anything, etc., they responded “well, yeah, but I wouldn’t bring my clients out in the pitch black/the snow/in full sunlight/etc.” Which really, is ridiculous.  Your client …read more

- Posted by Leah I’ve always tried to be present, mindful, aware of the here-and-now. But it’s so easy to get distracted, to think about what I’m doing in 5 days or 5 months or 5 minutes, what people are saying on Facebook, what I should blog about next, what I want to eat for dinner… so I only succeeded at being truly present about 2% of the time. Or maybe .02%. Having a kid has definitely changed that. It has forced me into the …read more

{images and text by +jo} I know last week I kinda threw out a lot of stuff and one biggie was that I don’t have the greatest health. I never really have. I’m not saying it’s something as big as cancer but there has always been -something- wrong. Sometimes I do it to myself. Sometimes the world falss on me. And sometimes my body just doesn’t know how work work properly. I also mentioned I’m using  “holistic/herbal approaches to healing my body.” I figure I should …read more
