Four legs that is. I had the great honor of being invited to a amazing event called Pet Fest. Most people know I am a sucker for anything furry especially of the canine variety. Not only where there loads and loads of furry companions but there was some jumping. Dock diving to be correct. I have to admit that I was blown away by the dedication these people have for their pets. It made me want to run home and give our babies a t-bone steak and …read more
Four is better than two.
Shooting Ravens Head.
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Wow. I know, I am behind. I have no excuse other than I am growing a human and its harder than it looks. Intern Sam and I had the awesome opportunity to do some shots for +Raven. She of course she is a stellar person to be around and to learn from. Her style of teaching is so natural. Even though she was our “client” she helped us out so much. I have learned that I am pretty good at one on one directing but …read more
Fair Enough.

I should probably tell you that I really don’t like carnival rides. AT ALL. EVER! I prefer my thrills on ground level. Oh and securely anchored into thus ground. Carnival rides are neither. I was needless to say terrified that a tiny being so close to my heart was riding these rides. My rule is that if you see it next to you on I-85 that afternoon then you should not get on it later that night. I’m just saying…… eeekkkk This darling child is …read more
Naturally Speaking

I did it! Wait, you don’t know what I am talking about do you? Oh, well I will tell you all about it. I conquered my fear. I found the models, I found the spots and I set up this shoot all by my lonesome. I was so panicked that this awesome idea I had would flop. You know, the horrific flop where no one shows up, it rains, and I forget my camera. I had nightmares for weeks. Hey, guess what, I rocked it! The models …read more
Hair bows and tutus

Girls Rock! This little darling is another one of those kids that I get all choked up about. Her smile, her laugh, and that one little tooth coming in get me every time. I took these photos of her just shy of her six month birthday. So we will call this a half birthday present. My bestie, you guys remember her right? From the birthday party post, I told you all she would show up again. She has three babies who are often subjects in …read more
“A person’s a person, no matter how small.”

Three years ago this angel was born. Has she changed my life? You better believe it. It is so hard to for me to describe this child. I don’t know how she has taught me so much about myself and the world around me. I seem to think that she is wiser than I on many subjects. Her ability to make those around her laugh is a gift. Her talents are endless and so is her personality. I do mean ENDLESS, just like her chatting. …read more
Growing up.
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
All horses deserve, at least once in their lives, to be loved by a little girl. When I first met this family it was 2002. I was a teenager working as a waitress in a BBQ restaurant. Wow that kind of sounds like a Tom Petty song. Hmm Ill talk to the husband about that one, haha. I was unsure of myself, a little to naive and definitely knew everything. Thanks to Mommy, as she affectionately became known, I know see the world a bit more clear. I have always thought that children need someone …read more
New Models, New Challenges

Wow. What a week. I had the greatest time hanging out with some of the interns in downtown Norcross last week. Aly and I carpooled together thinking that between the two of us we could save some time and gas. Well we did both but still managed to get lost. Luckily for us everyone was just starting off on their first site so we did not miss much. I spent the majority of the morning with Carl. He was awesome and a great sport in the …read more
On My Own
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
This week Mark and Leah were in San Francisco shooting a wedding so our assignment of sorts was to shoot on our own before next week. Eek, why did get so nervous? This felt like a HUGE deal. Was it because I was going to be sharing it with all of you or just because I was so eager to incorporate all that I have already learned? I will say a smidgen of both. My mind was filled to the brim with ideas which of course made the nerves worse. …read more
It’s raining in the studio

Wow. So I guess I found out that I am the only morning person this season. Next time I will bring coffee. I really enjoyed getting the chance to sit and talk about social media. I am so new to this process and once again learned so much. It amazes me still what you can do with this thing called the internet. These models ROCKED! They were so intriguing and a blast to shoot. I wish I had short hair again…. oh wait no not …read more
My favorite portfolio picture
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Did Mark just ask me to choose which photo is my favorite? Oh No! How could I? This is a very hard question and now that I think of it, I knew the answer the whole time. I have realized that I left out a very important person in my life. He is certifiably the greatest thing in the world. A two and a half-year old bundle of insanity and love. He has forever changed my heart. I never in my wildest dreams thought I …read more
Aw Shucks.
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Having a child changes everything. Not only for the parents but for the whole family. I was thrilled at the chance to actually hang out with our whole family. This never happens. I truly believe that if it was not for Chase we as a family would not be this close. He has brought us so much closer. I know this is kind of cheating doing a photo shoot with your family but I could not resist the chance to shoot this event. I was doubtful …read more
