Yeah, That Greenville Christmas in July

/

Nothing like a Christmas in July party to get folks excited. The folks from the Greenville Visitors Center brought snow, Santa and holiday music to the middle of downtown Atlanta. After entering the Switchyards event center through a flurry of snowflakes, guests were treated to holiday music, amazing food and drink, holiday music, Santa and one of his elves … and of course gifts for all.

I'm an Atlanta wedding photographer who takes soulful, quirky and honest photos ...

I'm also an adventurous traveler and all-round nerd. I love to hike with my beagle/cattle dog Roux and best friend/spouse.

I was born in Atlanta, moved around a lot--30 cities and 5 states--and then came back.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta, I took a job at asmall newspaper in south Georgia, where I photographedhospital teas, pecan farmers, and beauty queens.

I photographed a biker funeral, death penalty protests andTed Bundy while interning with the Associated Press.

While a photographer for two dailies in Florida, I photographed Ronald Reagan, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

An unexpected life turn took me to Vermont where I fell in love with Bernie Sanders and on to Indiana, where I edited photos for a major daily, and nerded out getting a master’s and PhD.

After teaching photojournalism at colleges and universities in Florida, Indiana and Mississippi, I returned to Atlanta to earn myfifth degree--a Master's of Divinity.

My passion for storytelling with my camera and my interest in religious diversity led my to the field of wedding photojournalism.

I have documented weddings large and small, Unitarian and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by aMayan shaman.

When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, visit friends in amemory-care home, and volunteer at a recovery center.

Delta Leadership Fellows at Emory's Goizueta Business School

/

In 2017 The Delta Airlines Foundation gave Emory's Goizueta Business School $3.5 million to start a leadership development program where MBA students learn to coach by coaching their classmates.

The program continues today for students in day and night MBA programs.

Here are few favorite photographs from their recent awards ceremony. Yes, I took photos of each student posing with their award. But in true photojournalistic fashion, my real focus was on the bigger story.

Classic Black and White at Emory Med School Alumni Event

/

Even though a lot of photographers consider event photography boring, I actually find it quite challenging. I use all the skills of a photojournalist that use when photographing a news event or wedding.

Although, in most instances In have less to work with in the way of action or emotion than at a wedding or news event, my goal is always the same: tell the story with visuals that surprise and delight.

Here are a few classic black-and-white edits from an Emory Medical School Alumni event that took place at The Estates on Piedmont in the fall.
