Joyce’s Maternity Session
Jan 29, 2012 | DeLaun | Center Stage, Everyday Photography, Just Bloggin', Portfolio | 0

Several months ago I talked about how one of my very favorite wedding couples called to announce they were expecting. Well, the day finally came where they were ready for their Maternity Photography Session. As you can see, Joyce is even more gorgeous pregnant than she was on her wedding day, and believe me, that’s saying A LOT! These two will make phenomenal parents. It turns out we did this session just in time since less than a week later baby Kaia arrived! Check back soon for the newborn photography session.

Hopeless Romantic…Baby Loving…Love Loving…Photographer in the House
Aug 21, 2011 | DeLaun | Everyday Photography, Just Bloggin' | 0

About 8 weeks ago I found out that one of my first wedding couples, and by far one of my favorites, is pregnant with their first child. When I say one of my favorites, I really mean it. This is the only wedding I’ve been to where I actually got teary eyed. Imagine it, we are in the middle of the vows and this foreign liquid comes rolling down my cheek. I was stuck somewhere between “Awwww, gotta love love…and…What the heck?! Dear God, am I actually crying?” But hey, I’m a proud card carrying member of the hopeless romantic club. The love between them was truly palpable and today it’s stronger than ever.

So, on with the good news. Not only was I one of the very first people they called, which just goes to show how I truly strive to become friends with my clients, they’ve asked me to do a maternity session for them. Now I have to wait anxiously until she is proudly showing. I’m incredibly honored and excited. This is what I love most about my favorite clients. They invite me into their lives to document their union & love, and then they honor me by asking that I document the growth of that love and of their family. For me, this is where lifestyle photographer meets lifetime photographer and friend.

This is one of my favorite images from a trip to the Atlanta Train Museum with a family that I love photographing. To this day I don’t know what little Tyson was looking at, but it clearly had his full attention seeing as he could not care less about the giant locomotive next to him.

Senior Vogue!
Nov 28, 2010 | DeLaun | Everyday Photography, Just Bloggin' | 0 | , , , , ,

I don’t know if it’s America’s Next Top Model, or the fact that Seniors these days have a better sense of self and confidence. In either case, I’m loving all the creativity and new media out there for Senior Portrait sessions. When I was in school, we handed out wallets and you were “edgy” if you wallet was a design with you on the cover of GQ Magazine. Now Seniors have full page ads that feature just how awesome they are. I am loving this opportunity to feature my photography, graphic design and of course my AWESOME seniors! Teen Vogue, watch out…this years fund raising Senior Ad book might just out do you.

It’s A Boy…Or At Least It Will Be!
Oct 25, 2010 | DeLaun | Everyday Photography, Just Bloggin', Paparazzi | 0

A couple of weeks ago one of my closest friends from college asked me to shoot some photos at her baby shower. Although I don’t normally do event photography outside of weddings, I knew this would be a blast and Dedra is like family. As expected, the day was filled with lots of “Tom Foolery” as we would say. Thanks to the giggling, laughing and all out hysteria…it was an awesome day. I can’t wait until little baby boy (he hasn’t been named yet) arrives. I’m betting on November 16th for the arrival date and I am already excited about his newborn photo session. Here are some of my favorite images from the shower and I hope they give you at least a taste of how much fun and love filled the house. The most amazing, beautiful and slightly frightening thing is that I know he is going to grow up surrounded by all this same love, energy and insanity. Lord help him!

Dravadan and Shacoya are two Atlanta based models that I thought would look great together, so when they both expressed interest in doing a photo shoot for their portfolios, I had to bring them together. We spent most of the day bouncing around different locations in Atlanta and had an awesome time. Enjoy!

For the Love of Peanut Butter

blogHeader1 For the Love of Peanut Butter

Who among us doesn’t love peanut butter? I know for a fact that growing up it was one of my favorite snacks. Who am I kidding? It’s STILL one of my favorite snacks. And for those of you that don’t know, you really should try peanut butter and Wheat Thins. They are an awesome combination. Just ask Trinity! Clearly she’s as excited about the two together as I am.
