Sleeping Baby

I have been lucky enough to be asked to babysit two of my grandchildren for a week. Isn't he just so precious?  I don't mean to brag, but he is just one of the sweetest. He is actually really sleeping, but he loves to pretend he is sleeping. He also loves to cuddle and I love that about him.

Partial to Black and White

I am really partial to Black and White photography and I especially like a nostalgic effect. This was taken on my little excursion to Dahlonega. Well, this is actually in Cleveland, GA as we entered Babyland General Hospital (where the Cabbage Patch Children are born).

I don't know if I like black and white because it reminds of the 'good old days' or because I had a darkroom back in the film days.

Ice Cream in December!

I went out on a shooting spree with a photographer friend of mine. She brought her daughter Ellie with her--which we do most of the time. Ellie is very used to posing for us, but this day we were on a quest to take pictures of waterfalls. Ellie was getting bored so we took her to Babyland General Hospital to see the Cabbage Patch Babies being born. She could care less about the dolls. So we stopped for some ice cream. I think this made her day.

Children Eating Candied Apples

What fun, watching little babies eating these bright red candied apples. They didn't eat much, but they sure sucked the sugar off the outside. I especially enjoyed the photos I was able to take during their snack time. 

Growing Babies!

I was baby sitting the other day for 6 week old Waylon. After feeding and changing his diaper I thought it might be fun to have a little photo shoot. While this is not the best, it is one of my favorite. He is so cute and growing so quickly. At 6 weeks sometimes they don't do exactly what you want, but Waylon sure tried.  Without all the pillows he probably wouldn't have been so wobbly.

"Trash the Dress"

Such a fun afternoon, shooting 3 models in wedding gowns throughout the city of Atlanta. To me it is not about "trashing" the dress so much as contrasting the beautiful dress with an environment that is so opposite. We ended at Centennial Park where the girls ran through the fountains. 

Victorian Day Photos!

I went to "Victorian Days" at the Oakland Park Cemetery in Atlanta the other day and had a wonderful time. There were quite a few people dressed in period costumes. Oakland Park has some great events. I know it sounds weird to have events in a cemetery, but they do this to keep up the grounds in this fabulous historical park. For those who are not familiar with this place it is a great place to go for walks. I first discovered it a few years ago when my daughter moved into the neighborhood. We took her dogs for a walk there. Then I brought my husband for a walking tour. Later we went to their Halloween event. Oakland Park Cemetery has been on my list of places to go and things to do anytime someone comes in from out of town. Who would have thought?

Everyone was happy to pose for pictures.

Even Scarlett O'Hara made an appearance! Lots of photo ops.
