WILD CHILD SESSIONS: Atlanta portrait photographer

After the success of Halie's Wild Child shoot in Fort Yargo State Park, Margaret (of Margaret Snider Makeup Artistry) and I couldn't wait to organize our next round of mini sessions. 

We spent hours and hour poring over studios all across Atlanta, and eventually, we found the perfect location and booked our date for mid-January. Then we were blessed with the best clients we could ever hope for; better than we could have imagined! We are so thankful for how smoothly our first official round of Wild Child mini sessions went, and we are so excited to announce that the next mini-sessions are coming in APRIL! The date will be announced on my Facebook page next week, so go and like my page to stay updated! 

In the meantime before the information is released, here are our lovely ladies from the first sessions, sisters Macall and Morgan. These two beautiful women are so remarkably different and unique that it's hard to tell they're sisters on first glance. But, once you get to know them and spend time with them, it becomes obvious that they are related because they are two of the most fun, honest, gracious and kindhearted people you'll meet. Not to mention they're both hilarious, and drop-dead gorgeous. It really was a blast getting to spend the day with them, pampering them and showing them just how beautiful inside and out they really are, and then gifting them with photo reminders they'll have forever!

Wild Child Session: Halie // Fort Yargo State Park

In the photography world, social media is a legitimate business-growing tool. The Facebook groups, the meet-ups, the blog sharing. It's all a way to get to know those in your industry, to learn, to grow, to foster relationships. To be inspired. 

All you fellow photographers are nodding your heads yes. I know you are. 

When I really discovered how powerful social media is for me personally, I dove in head-first. One of the first people who I discovered through an Atlanta photographers group was Halie Johnson, of Halie J. Photography. Instantly, I was blown away by her style and her true talent. 

Me being me, I obviously reached out to her via email and essentially professed my love of her work and her personality that clearly shone through her images. We messaged back and forth a few times, and I knew we would click, and I was determined to meet her in person! 

When coming up with the concept for this photoshoot, my makeup artist, Margaret Snider, and I were trying to think where we could find someone who fit the edgy look we were going for. On top of that, we needed someone comfortable enough in their own skin, and brave enough to get down to their johns in the woods for us. We needed someone who could handle the transition perfectly from light and beautiful to dark and mysterious and haunting. 

So I reached out to Halie. The rest is history. 

I guess you could say, long story short, the first time we met, I got Halie to get down to her undies in 45 degree weather, sitting on a rock in a State Park. She's pretty cool like that. 

I hope you absolutely love these pictures as much as I do. I'm not afraid to say that I am so excited to share these with everyone, and I am so proud of this photoshoot!
