RUNNER UP IMAGES:
Kellie Church
Kellie is a senior at McEachern High School and just graduated early in December. This photo was taken this summer in an open field near our home. Everyone loves this field and became quite a popular photo sport with everyone, especially our high school seniors. Kellie just fell into this position and we immediately clicked and got this image. We love the crispness and fun, clean look of this image.
Kellie will be attending Kennesaw State University in the fall. Kellie is a beautiful red head with striking blue eyes and was a Cheerleader while at McEachern. She is the daughter of Debbie Church.

Taylon's passion is Photography and she hopes to pursue a career in Photography. She is in the midst of deciding on a college where she can study photography as part of her major.
This photo was done during a senior photo session with Taylon at Marietta Square. Here blue eyes are magnificant, and this photograph brings them to life.

Dezirae OzMarie Lawrence
Dezirae is a Senior at Hillgrove High School. She is the beautiful daughter of JaKenya Lawrence of Powder Springs. Dezirae is a super sweet girl and is super fun to be around. Some of her favorite things in life are: God, Family, Photography, Fashion, Photography, Music, Photography....and did I say..."Photography"? For her Senior Project, Dezirae chose "photography" and asked Chuck to Mentor her. Chuck had a blast working with Dezirae and we are honored that she asked us to mentor her.
Dezirae recently found out that she has been accepted to SCAD - The Savannah College of Art and Design and will be pursuing (you guessed it) a Photography Major. Dezirae has an amazing smile. This photograph was taken during a Senior Session with Dezirae in Virginia Highland. We literally were driving down a busy street and spotted a bright red vintage telephone booth. We pullled over to the side of the street, all jumped out the the car and shot a few images of Dezirae as she stood inside the booth.
We love the bright, vivid colors of this image and are excited that our fans voted is as one of their favorites! Dezirae has won a complimentary 8x10 of this image.
Kellie Church
We love this photo of Kellie! This is another photo that was chosen as a favorite by our Facebook Fans. This photo was taken inside of an old, vintage Chevrolet Truck that we found on the side of the road parked in an empty parking lot.
As we approached the truck, Kellie fell in love with the torn seats, rusted through floor and the whole look and feel of this antique. It was so much fun photographing her -- and you can tell by the smile on her face that she was having a great time at this photo session.
This truck has become a very popular photo background for many of our high school seniors. The other day, I received a text message from Kellie saying that she had just driven by the truck and that it was gone! We have already found a replacement truck, so if anyone is interested in having vintage photos taken with an old truck, let us know! Kellie has won a complimentary 8x10 of this image.
Maddie, Jamie and Lloyd Hughes
Here's Maddie again, but this time being lifted into the air by her mom, Jamie as her Daddy looks on in the background. Again, our Facebook Fans voted this as one of their 2009 favorites and we can certainly see why!
This photo was done during Maddie's 6 month photo shoot in Smyrna early this past fall. Jamie and Lloyd had just finished changing Maddie into her Christening Gown and as she lifted Maddie into the air, we shot this beautiful photo. Just look at the love in everyone's eyes. You can certainly tell from this photo that Jamie and Lloyd absolutely adore Maddie and she is just as crazy about them.
We love photographing this sweet family! Jamie and Lloyd have won a complimentary 8x10 of this image.
Angela San Martin and Arnaldo San Martin's Wedding
Funny thing about this photo.....This image was shot at Piedmont Park back in October as we photographed the wedding of Angela and Arnaldo San Martin of Atlanta.
As we were waiting for the entire wedding party to gather outside for a formal portrait, I caught this young Dad and his little boy (relatives of the bride and groom) as they were running across the park to join the rest of the family for the formal portrait photo shoot.
Our Facebook Fans voted this as one of their favorites from 2009. We love this photograph and the message it conveys of the fun that can be had as you ride on Daddy's shoulders! Angela and Arnaldo
have won a complimentary 8x10 of this image.
Taylon Sharer
And...our final Runner Up Image is of Taylon Sharer! This beautiful portrait was taken in the Cabbage Town area of Atlanta inside a dark, street tunnel which had been painted with graffiti. We love the vivid colors of this photograph and the beauty that shines through Taylon's smile and in her eyes. Her yellow shirt and plaid scarf were the perfect compliment to this urban photograph.
This area of Atlanta has become one of the hottest spots in the city for our high school Seniors. They love the vast diversity that a senior session in Atlanta promises....from large city buildings on busy streets. to amazing graffiti walls in Little Five Points....the City is an amazing place for a photography session, offering a modern, updated, urban look and feel.
