Marek Matousek, Actor

Marek looks like a total badass, but he’s incredibly nice, and totally goofy — that’s why my favorites below are mostly smiley shots.  He and Dan have been working together on a film, and Marek needed a few photos showing his current look before heading back to L.A. (where his super-adorable wife Cindy is, I’m sure, DYING to see her man after all these weeks!)  Learn more about Marek at www.MarekMatousek.com.

Erin Bethea, Actor

If you’re a Kirk Cameron fan, you might recognize Erin from the movie “Fireproof”; I know Erin because Dan and I shot her wedding almost 2 years ago!  She’s genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and her family is FANTASTIC!  I was so happy when Erin showed up to our shoot with her sister, Hayley!  Learn more about Erin at www.erinbethea.com.  And, as always, BIG shout-out goes to my right-hand gal, fab hair and makeup stylist Cayla Roberts.

Erin’s sister Hayley snapped this picture of me photographing Erin!  LOVE IT!  You can see the pictures *I* was taking below…

Allison Suzanne, Photographer

It’s always an honor to be asked to photograph a photographer! Allison is about to be featured in her community’s magazine, Our Town, and needed a few bio pictures. She’s so stinkin’ adorable! Check out her work at www.AllisonSuzanne.com.

Shannon McNeal, Storyteller

I was introduced to Shannon through my friend Barb, who owns the fabulous Stonehurst Place in Midtown Atlanta. Shannon is such a delightful person, with this fantastic, solid energy, and a HUGE love of storytelling! (She also has a really adorable little daughter!)

Rev. Monica Coleman, Ph.D.

Monica is a minister, writer, activist, and scholar, and I was lucky enough to photograph her wedding AND spend a few minutes creating some headshots for her! We snagged these in less than five minutes behind one of my favorite Atlanta coffee shops. You can learn more about Monica on her website, monicaacoleman.com.

The first two were Monica’s favorites, and the last one is MY favorite…

Nicole

I met Nicole for headshots at 3:30, but didn’t leave until 6, because we were too busy talking!  Getting to meet amazing women like Nicole is one of the reasons I love my job sooooo much!
