I love to photograph in our beautiful area parks. Senior Photos are very enjoyable to take and can be a lot of fun. I will photograph these in an area park and take advantage of the lighting produced by the gorgeous sun during the “golden hour”. The golden hour is 1 hour before sunset and can give us some stunning golden color. Teens can feel a little awkward during a photo shoot but I like for them to feel comfortable, pose them naturally, and let them totally be themselves. If they are having fun, it will show in their photos.

These images were taken at Newtown Park, Wills Park, Barrington Hall and Downtown Norcross, just to name a few.

We were at the beach recently and on a very rainy day, this black pigeon landed on our beach condo railing, 22 floors high.  He was so cute when he looked like he was making faces at me, or maybe he was trying to figure out what I was doing when I was photographing him.  Regardless, he let me get pretty close.

My daughter and I enjoyed a nice mother/daughter weekend in Chattanooga while my husband and son stayed home and rode go karts.   I started taking my daughter’s Senior Photos (I am still choking on that phrase) while in some very characteristic Chattanooga spots. I still can’t believe she’ll be a Senior in high School next year.  Enjoy every moment, my friends!  Time passes by just too fast.

These photos are from the Tennessee Aquarium.  It is a beautiful place.  More photos to come.

The hubby and I took a beach trip together for our 20th Anniversary without kids and we had a wonderful time.  Most of the week there was rain but the clouds and storms in the distance that made for some beautiful photos.  This is one of my favorite moments…. I woke up around 5am this particular morning, looked out the window and saw this!  I have always loved the beach and scenes like this are one of the reasons why!  Every day is different and provides a beautiful, new canvas to work with.  One day I hope to live there.  🙂
