The Shops at Buckhead | Location Spotlight

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 06 Mar 2020 14:00:00 GMT

The Location Spotlight Series is meant to help the Blogging Clients of Gossett Photography choose a location for their Style Sessions

This Location Spotlight is on The Shops at Buckhead - It has ample paid parking (no free parking available) including a garage and bathrooms. Roaming Security makes it one of the more safe places for a photoshoot. The aesthetic is high end, bright and clean. It's perfect for afternoon shoots since the taller buildings will offer plenty of even light. It does require a permit that can take up to two weeks to secure, so if you are interested in this location, keep that in mind. The evening hours get crowded due to plenty of dining options, so I'd suggest pre-cocktail hour or right at 10 when it opens. Prior to opening, the garage is not available so early morning shoots aren't an option here.

Throwback Thursday | Gossett Photography

(Gossett Photography) — Thu, 09 Jan 2020 11:00:00 GMT

Recently, I've realized my soul is especially full after an In Home Session. Why? Well, because this is you. This is the REAL YOU. In your cozy home that you've put together so carefully, filled with the people that you love the best, snuggling in the places you actually snuggle.

Plus... these baby details... I mean... who can ever get enough of tiny little feet?

A little peek at a session I did years ago but never got around to posting, the one where I truly fell in love with In Home Lifestyle Photography

A Series of Location Spotlights for Atlanta Area Bloggers | Inman Park

One of the advantages of Inman Park is their great lighting, even mid day.

We shot these when the sun was high and there were no clouds, but all the coverage of Inman Park created even lighting.

When you need to shoot in the afternoon,

and have time for BARTACO with your fave photographer after your shoot, this is your place ;)

All the heart eyes for this portion of a winter family session in Tanyard Creek Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Did you "miss" out on Fall Family Sessions? Don't let the winter months scare you off -- you won't be sweating, Atlanta doesn't get that cold and Tanyard Creek is beautiful year round.

A Wedding in Dexter, Georgia | Gossett Photography

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 13:00:00 GMT

Happy 2nd Anniversary to this sweet couple!

A look back with some of my favorite images from this Wedding in Dexter, Georgia...

Pause for collective "aweeeee" ... her sweet little niece trying on the wedding shoes ...

This wedding was a photographers dream;

With the bride being a photographer herself, every detail was literally picture perfect and the day was scheduled around "the good light".

More importantly, two lovely people came together and I felt honored to be a part of documenting this beautiful day.

Thanks for stopping by,

Amber Gossett

A Rainy Day Family Portrait Session | Cheatham Hill

(Gossett Photography) — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 00:29:22 GMT

Family Portraits at Cheatham Hill

Most families reschedule their family portrait session if the forecast promises rain; and I understand 100%. In fact, I rescheduled our own engagement session due to rain... I just really wanted everything to look a certain way! But THIS session reminded me of the magic that can happen during a rainy photoshoot. I really needed that extra pick-me-up of what can happen when you roll with the punches; If you live in Atlanta, you know how the weather this fall has been! This adventurous family took the risk, hoping the rain would calm down to a mere mist... and it did! Sure, we had some wet tousled hair... but everything was simple and organic and natural in the most beautiful of ways. I'm excited to share some of the magic of rainy day snuggles here with you today...

Ponce City Market Part II | Location Spotlight

Remember in my first location spotlight blog piece, I told you how much I loved photographing bloggers at Ponce City Market because of all the little nooks and crannies to work with? Well, here's another installment of my location spotlights! I'll continue with this series because I find myself constantly describing locations and sending e-mails with images attached to bloggers trying to decide where they'd like a photoshoot at. With this series, you can simply perform a search and decide whether that aesthetic is right for your brand!

In Home Lifestyle Session | Atlanta Family Photographer

Casual In Home Lifestyle Session to Celebrate the Big ONE

What to Expect During an Individual Style Session With Gossett Photography

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 10:00:00 GMT

Happy Spring Pretty Friends!

One thing I photograph a lot of, no matter the season or weather, are bloggers. And I love working with these creatives because often times they are extremely personable and are comfortable in front of the camera -- which makes photographing them really fun! I also get to know them pretty well because we work together so regularly.

Today I thought I'd answer my most often asked questions regarding these types of photoshoots.

1. How many outfits will we shoot?

That is entirely up to you. When you book, you book a number of hours, not a number of outfits. So the number of outfits you are able to change into is largely dependent upon how comfortable you are in front of the camera, the proximity of where you will be changing to where we are shooting

2. Where do we shoot? Again, it's really up to you! If you have a location already picked out, let's go! If not, I am always happy to make recommendations. Just know that some places require a permit that takes a little bit of advance notice to work out. When booking, it's helpful for me to know the vibe you are wanting -- we want it to be consistent with your current website OR headed in the direction of your inspiration if you are looking to change up the look of your blog. Communication is key on this one!

3. What time of day is best? The hour before sunset is always the easiest in wide open spaces that don't offer a lot of shade. But in urban settings, where tall buildings will give us plenty of even light to work with, anything but the hours right around high noon will work.

4. Do you offer hair and make up? I'm happy to make recommendations to some of my favorite Hair and Make Up Artists.

5. What am I allowed to do with the images once I download them? The images are licensed for your personal use and for online use on YOUR blog and its social media accounts. Of course, if you are guest blogging somewhere and they need an image of you, that is totally fine to give them a headshot. Please provide a link to my website/give Photo Credit wherever it is used -- including YOUR social media and blog. Your license for usage DOES NOT include selling or giving these images to other companies, such as the company that gave you the hat that you are wearing in the picture, for example. If a company is interested in using an image of their product -- anywhere (website, mailer, e-mai blast) -- they are legally required to contact me prior to using. If you come across a contract that a company is asking you to sign that states they will be entitled to use the images, then you are required to purchase the additional licensing fees. Most bloggers will work that into the price they quote the company. Contact me for more specific information on this topic.

6. How far in advance do I need to book? Weekends, the hour before sunset, spring and fall fill quickly. While I can usually book a 2pm on a Thursday fairly last minute, 6pm on a Saturday evening in October will need to be booked 6 months in advance. Generally speaking, try to give me about 2 weeks if you are flexible on timing.

Have other questions you'd like me to answer regarding Blogging Style Sessions? Leave them in the comment below? And now, for one of my favorite bloggers (because of her insanely positive go-get-em attitude and honest vibe), GessFlyy.com

All the best,

Amber Gossett

Old Fourth Ward | Location Spotlight

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 27 Sep 2019 12:00:00 GMT

The question I get most from my blogging clients pertains to location recommendations; I've begun a series of "spotlight" blog peices to help Bloggers in the Atlanta Metro figure out which locations suit their needs.

Old Fourth Ward has a couple cute spots all within walking distance of one another and near street parking. Covered/Private Parking isn't an option here, so you'll need a good game plan for changing into different outfits. I'd recommend no more than 3-4 outfits to keep each look in a unique space. Other close by options for longer photoshoots include Old Fourth Ward Park -- where you'll find a tunnel with funky urban art, lots of interesting art installments, a paved trail and a skatepark. Also close by is Ponce City Market. This direct area, with the Park, the shopping area pictured below and Ponce City Market, would be a great choice for a Marathon Photoshoot.

Senior Session in Clearwater Florida | Gossett Photography

(Gossett Photography) — Wed, 28 Aug 2019 15:02:38 GMT

As summer weather draws to a close and school is starting, I'd love to share with you a Senior Session from the beginning of summer in Clearwater, Florida.

This senior session WEEKEND was a true labor of love. Lili's mama and I worked together for a couple of years when we lived in Denver, Colorado. Lily was entering high school and I was always so impressed with her - polite, respectful, kind and driven to do the right thing. I had the opportunity to do a multi-generational portrait session with their family and we often talked about one day doing Lili's Senior Portraits. When I found myself living across the country when it came time for her Senior Portraits, we decided to meet up in Clearwater since one of Lili and Monica's favorite things to do is visit various beaches (I'm not kidding... this is TOTALLY their 'thing' - I'm jealous! ha!). The setting made total sense for this family so we rented an air bnb and counted the days.

My favorite thing about her Senior Session was her incorporation of Ellie the Elephant. Ellie had been everywhere Lili had visited - they've traveled together since Lili was a baby. I thought it was brilliant of her mama to suggest the two of them have a few pictures made together (yes... I teared up!).

Lili runs track and swims so she also wanted to incorporate her Letter Jacket and we also included a mini family session during the weekend. I know that I will get to see Lili go on to do amazing things with her life and I'm so proud to know her and her family. Congratulations Lili, Class of 2020! Here are just a few of my favorites from the weekend...

All the Best,

Amber Gossett

Georgia Tech Grad | Gossett Photography

(Gossett Photography) — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 19:05:42 GMT

Ahhh Spring is here... or at least it's supposed to be, in Atlanta anyway. Today I woke up to a very unspring like 21 degrees. Now, I love cold weather so I'm not complaining... but I know my spring portrait sessions will go a lot smoother if the children and seniors aren't shivering in their spring clothing while it is freezing out! So c'mon spring! Because spring family portrait sessions and senior portraits are right around the corner!

Anyway, since senioritis is in the air, I wanted to share a Senior session that I did at the end of last year. I had not yet had a session at the beautiful Georgia Tech Campu, so I was in a complete photographer's dream land with all the fall colors showing off and the stunning architecture. Yes please to all the gorgeous lines, rosy pink tones thrown from the old red brick and the colorful tree lined walkways! Not to mention, this graduate had his sweet girlfriend tag a long with, which was super helpful! Bringing someone along that makes you smile is key for getting the perfect portrait! During this senior portrait session, we made sure he had cap and gown pictures, the perfect head shot for the job hunt, some pictures including Georgia Tech Campus "landmarks", plus a few of the loveliest couple. So, without further ado...

A few more months after this session, one of my favorite things about this business happened...

I got to do a session with Josh's entire lovely family! That truly is my favorite thing about photography -- really getting to know families and the people in front of my lens; I love to work with a family year after year, watch children grow, and document important milestones. And I can't wait to see many of you this spring!

Now, let's just hope for temperatures somewhere above 21 degrees ;)

Margaret Vera Artisan Leather Bags, Handbags & Accessories | Atlanta Georgia Product Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 01:14:15 GMT

Hello friends!

I don't know about where you live, but we've had a recent cold snap here in Atlanta -- and one of my favorite things to do in a cold snap is cozy up in my studio with some hot tea and Norah Jones on Pandora to shoot products in our home studio. During nap time of course, the power hour of work from home mamas (because can any other time in the day be quite so productive? sigh.)

I especially love shooting artisanal peices that have been hand-crafted locally here in Georgia. I'm so proud to make sure these small businesses and crafty work from home mamas have all the imagery they need to showcase their beautiful work through their various social media platforms. Take a look at the gorgeous felt peices made by Atlanta's own Margaret Vera.

If I'm being honest, I didn't always love to shoot products. I thought the whole process would be a bit dull, before I really dived in. I felt I wouldn't be able to allow my imagination loose! But turns out that isn't true at all. Product Photography, when you are doing it right, does have creative challenges! One can't just set the product up on the table and click away; The handles of the bag have to lay just so. I need to determine the most attractive angle, or fold the clothing item perfectly. Each item comes with its own version of this! For imagery containing props, I have to get into a marketing headspace. Backdrops other than white need to be collected and decided upon for each set -- grey, black and white marble are my current favorites. A multitude of props must be kept around and selected carefully. There is shopping to be done! White Background Product Photography really through me for a loop too; I envisioned it being a downright boring process but it ABSOLUTELY is not! It is an extremely detail oriented task and I thrive on projects which require my attention to a hundred little details. Each product needs just the right lighting, which is a lot of fun to figure out... like a puzzle! I'll never forget my first experience shooting reflective peices... or the first time I did an Art Documentation. After a few years of working with Products, they've come to be one of my favorite components of Gossett Photography.

If you are a photographer and missing out on the perfectly wonderful market of Product Photography, give it a go! There is nothing better than working in your most comfortable leggings with a nice cup of coffee making sure your fellow creative has the PERFECT imagery to tell the story of their brand. If you've shot a lot of product photography, tell me about your favorite product to photograph and why!

Until next week,
Amber Gossett

Gess Flyy | Gossett Photography

(Gossett Photography) — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 02:19:37 GMT

It's been too long friends, and I make no apologies because I have just been soaking up my daughters first year of life. But I promised myself that with this new year, which coincides with celebrating her first birthday, I would jump back into the world of social media and blogging. Last year, around this time, I talked about seasons of life; 2018 was a season for just maintaining my business as I embarked on the new adventure of Motherhood. And I embraced that... which was HARD after years of totally hustling to grow grow grow. In 2019, I have every intention of getting back into the swing of things; Oh how I've missed you and am ready to reunite with this little piece of my soul!

For the past couple of years, I've chosen a Word to begin each new year with. A word that would inspire me to be my best self. This year I have to admit, I struggled! Then... fate. My friend from GessFlyy.com reached out to do a session just before my daughters first birthday and I realized that SHE was my last client right before going into labor. my word jumped out at me.

Kismet: Destiny; Fate.

For years, I despised the word fate. I experienced a series of unfortunate events a few years before my daughter became part of our family... I won't go into those here because... long stories and if you've been following, you probably already know. But the gist is that I associated the word Fate or Destiny with the idea that I should find positivity in those sad times. I was absolutely not in a good enough head space to do so, so the very word and idea annoyed me. It taunted me, actually. So I think it's time to embrace this word now and start practicing the grace that it requires to let go and let be. To smile at the little things that just seem meant to be and feel okay with that phrase.

Enough about me... what about you? I'd love to hear about your word for 2019 or how your 2018 word challenged you to grow! In the meanwhile, I'll share some of my favorites from the session:

When Gess told me the style session would be featuring athletic wear, I knew that the trails of Kennesaw Mountain National Park would provide the perfect backdrop to inspire readers to get up, get out and get moving. I'm lucky this gem is here in Marietta, just around the corner from me!

It was about now that I explained to her what "Forest Bathing" was. She was graceful about my quirkiness and we agreed that I was in fact, a crazy hippie! If you didn't already know what forest bathing was before now, you - are - welcome... for either a new favorite past time or a good laugh if you aren't outdoorsy ;)

May 2019 bring you all the peace and joy your soul can possibly handle and then a whole lotta extra to sprinkle around like confetti.

I'll be back next week and hope you'll join me.

Amber

Preparing for your Senior Portraits | Atlanta Senior Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 03 Aug 2018 10:00:00 GMT

This fall, in honor of a fresh school year and a whole new class of Seniors, we've prepared ten ways you can present your BEST self for upcoming Senior Portraits!

1. Have several carefully selected outfits prepared. We suggest nothing with words or graphic tees -- stick with solid colors and classics like jeans and khakis. Keep jewelry to a minimum, choosing your most classic peices! Iron the wrinkles out and hang outfits carefully in the car; don't stuff them in a duffle bag!

2. Stick with a haircut you already know and like; Senior Portraits are not the time to experiment with a new hair style! Guys, make sure you are freshly shaven and girls, keep your make-up nice and natural looking! Get a good nights rest the night before!

3. Treat yourself to a manicure & pedicure... this goes for the guys too!

4. Glasses Glare can be prevented by asking your optometrist to remove the lenses from your glasses for the photoshoot

5. Carefully select your photographer -- go through their portfolio, social media pages and blog well in advance of booking to make sure their style fits yours!

6. Bring a lip balm or the lip gloss or stick you used when doing your make up.

7. Bring a cheerleader! You'll want someone that can keep an eye out for unruly hair, make-up smudges or out of place clothing during the photoshoot! Bring someone supportive that knows how to help keep you smiling!

8. Bring fun props that represent your favorite sports, hobbies or past times! And don't forget your class ring and graduation cap!

9. Think of a few locations that are important to you and mention them to your photographer. For example, someone that rows crew may want to do a portion of their session at their teams' boat house! If you love perusing records on the weekend, you may choose your favorite record store!

10. We know you love your pet and we REALLY enjoy a good Senior + Pet session! Just make sure that you bring someone to handle your pet after that portion is done.

For Senior Portrait booking in the Atlanta or DFW Metro Areas, email [email protected]

Ponce City Market | Location Spotlight

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Ever meet someone and know instantly you just adore the vibe they put out into the world? That's how I felt about Gess of GessFlyy.Com -- she is always so REAL and smiles a ton, so she's simply a joy to be around. Our last photoshoot was at Ponce City Market, which is one of my favorite places to photograph bloggers. The light there is just MAGIC!? I think it's all the pink brick and natural light with high walls creating indoor shade. So many of my clients ask me for location suggestions when booking a blogger photoshoot and I often find myself sending them an e-mail full of pictures photographed at different locations. To address that, I thought I'd start a series of blog posts spotlighting a few of my favorite places in Atlanta, for easier reference! Today, I'm giving you a look inside Ponce City Market. And seriously guys, PCM has oodles of nooks and crannies just waiting for a blogger; I've done a few back to back 3 hour photoshoots there and not repeated backgrounds. Check it out below to see if it's a good fit for your brand and book your private style session HERE! Don't forget to give @gessflyy a follow and subscribe to her blog for some REAL talk and amazing outfits!

XOXO,

Amber

These hot summer months keeping you from booking a photoshoot? Know a good coffee shop? I have a few suggestions that I'm happy to share! Let's go!

5 Reasons to Hire A Professional Photographer for your Blog | Atlanta Blogger Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 28 May 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Congratulations!! You've decided to start blogging. You've got a rack of great outfit choices, a menu full of pretty meals or a long list of creative crafts to share with the world! You've got your domain name, the facebook page and an instagram account. But now what? Pretty pictures of course! You may have already tried your hand at a DIY photoshoot and you may have even recruited a friend to help you out, but I'm here to tell you 5 reasons why you should hire a professional photographer to create your blog's branding imagery.

1. The Right Equipment

The right camera for this job is pricey! You may have decided to invest in one with the thought that you'll save money because you won't need to always hire a professional photographer. But taking a picture isn't just about the gear you use; For the camera to be worth anything at all to you as a blogger, you need to know how to use the features of the camera (...this is a time consuming educational pursuit, I promise!). Not to mention, having a variety of lenses to use for all the different kinds of shots you'll need will add up to MANY thousands of dollars, very quickly! A professional photographer will have all the lenses and more importantly, he or she will know when it's appropriate to use each one.

2. The Creative's Expertise

When you pay for the services of a Professional Photographer, you are not just paying for the gear they bring. You are also paying for their creativity and their expertise in creating an image that will represent your brand. We are versed in what angles will make you look your best, locations that will fit the look you are going for, image composition and good lighting. A good photographer will also take the time to get to know your brand. We take a look at what your branding goals are to make sure we are capturing the type of imagery you need to achieve that. We ask questions about which platforms you need pictures for and if you have any special needs such as a header for your facebook page or a headshot for your Instagram account.

3. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I know you've heard that before... but you've heard it because it's true. Having quality imagery on your blog and it's social media accounts will attract more followers. More followers translate into being able to demand higher rates for brands that ask you to represent them. Brands also like to see that the rate they are paying you is being used to capture images that represent their brand and make them look really good. And if your a blogger who works on commision, it benefits you to have quality images to make the clothing choices even more attractive. To make more money as a blogger or in any business, you have to invest in yourself! Invest by hiring a professional photographer. We encourage you to track how your financials improve with the investment!

4. The Editing Process

Culling (the process of selecting the batch of pictures worth editing) and editing is time consuming. As a new business owner (because blogging IS a business!) your mind needs to be focused on the things that you can do best and most efficiently. If editing isn't your strong suit, it won't be an efficient use of your time.

5. Search Engine Optimization

Optimizing images embedded in your blog will maximize your Search Engine Optimization endeavors. The better your website viewer stats are, the more you can charge for your services of representing a brand. Renaming files, using image alt text, title text and captions are all pretty basic things you can do with an image to give your stats a boost. Go a step further by using srcset, reducing file size and scaling the image for SEO. Without imagery, none of these things can be done and you will have missed out on all these opportunities to grow your viewer stats.

If you are a blogger in Atlanta Metro and you are considering hiring a professional photographer for your blog, feel free to contact me to schedule a consultation. I'd love to learn more about your brand and offer my creative services to help you grow as a business!

Congratulation's Graduate! | Gossett Photography

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 14 May 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Hello pretty friends!

It's that time of year again! Soon we'll all be celebrating the College & High School graduates in our lives with backyard barbeques, beautiful brunches and ceremonies filled with pomp and circumstance! It's such a season of hope and one of my favorite things about graduating was getting to spend time with family. Last year, I was invited to join this sweet family for brunch after their graduate's ceremony; Capturing the family gathering and their proud Chamblee Charter High School Graduate reminded me of how important it is to have these precious moments documented. And why not relax and put away that Iphone camera... you worked hard to get your baby through school after all! Sit back and allow me!

And congratulations to the Graduating class of 2018!

Hello Pretty Friends!

I'm a huge fan of Aromatherapy and have been since college -- I regularly use Lavender at night and Citrusy smells when working in my home office. I also LOVE the smell of incense and the relaxation a simple candle flicker can provide. When Cosmic Soul Candle Company contacted me to provide white background product photographer for their online shopping platforms, I was really looking forward to all the delicious smells that would soon be filling my studio. My favorites were Peace and Island Breeze.

I've never used sage sticks and hadn't even heard of sage sticks that included lavender, so theirs (pictured below) really piqued my interest! Apparently this Native American ritual is used to cleanse your aura or clear a space of energy.

They even offer gift wrapping and those options are also featured below.

You can find these products on their Facebook page and I expect with new product photography, a beautiful website will be coming soon!

Do you have an Etsy Shop? Do you sell a product on Amazon? We would love to work with your company and provide white back images for your e-commerce website. We also love to create branding imagery for your company's social media platforms! Not in Georgia? Not a problem... just ship your products to our studio and we will ship it back! We also offer bulk discounts!

IDEA! Event + Style | Atlanta Children's Party Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 30 Apr 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Every now and again I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to photograph a party planned by IDEA! Event + Style. Jasmine provides top notch planning services and has an eye for detail. She really seems to tap into not only what every child dreams of for their party, but what would make it most convenient for the parents as well. Nothing is overlooked and there are whimsical little surprises everywhere you look. If you're looking for a high end party planner to do it all while you sit back and enjoy, you've found it in IDEA! Event + Style. A few weekends ago I was able to document one of her My Little Pony parties... complete with a bounce house, pony rides, bunnies for petting and painting. Everywhere I looked, children were smiling and I had SO much to photograph.

Now THAT is how you throw a party!

XOXO,

Amber

Documenting those everyday moments | Marietta Lifestyle Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 10:00:00 GMT

Summer is almost here and I am SUPER excited about two things:

1. Taking our first beach trip as a family of three

2. Seeing how my little girl will respond to a pool (since bath time is her current fave part of the day)

Because I'm so in the moment with her and my husband, sometimes I forget to bust out the camera (I know, I know... SHAME!!); I have to remind myself that I'll want all these moments beautifully documented and be so sad if I don't take pictures! Her first year's scrapbook is already underway (thanks to momwithoutlabels.com for gifting me such a beautiful First Year Album at my shower!) and my heart was just so happy when I got my first batch of prints in the mail the other day and started pasting them in.

It reminded me to share a few images I took for my cousin on my last trip to Texas. We went to see her little girls swim practice (I'm probably biased but she's a REALLY fast and technically great swimmer) and I'm hoping a few of these make it into their scrapbook! I know everyone books the typical fall family portrait every year... and that IS important, but it's also really fun to hire a pro photographer to come out to your kiddos favorite activities every so often so that those moments can be saved! You will never regret having these professional images for your children's scrapbooks, I promise!

XOXO,

Amber

Seasons of Life as a Business Owner | Atlanta Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 10:00:00 GMT

New Years Day this year was actually my little girl's due date (she wasn't born until 2 weeks later), so it's probably no suprise that I didn't partake in any New Years Goal Setting... unless you count the goals of not going to bed at 8pm and not waddling so badly in public! Now that my little one is here, I've gotten somewhat of a handle on this new mom life and am slowly easing back into the role of business owner... I thought it may be time to assess my business goals for this season of life and today I'm sharing those with you.

1. Know my worth. My time has always been valuable... it doesn't take having a child to make your time valuable. However, I'm finding it far easier now to say no to discounting my work and am not feeling guilty about keeping deposits for sessions missed.

2. Before I became a real life mom, I was "fantasy mom". Fantasy Mom could easily wear her baby for a fashion blogger photoshoot, breastfeeding and changing diapers when my client was changing clothes. Real life mom learned that babies don't get hungry and poop only when YOU want them too. A HUGE thank you to my client (turned friend) who was patient enough to let me test this theory out during her 3 hour blogger photoshoot. We made it work, but it wasn't something I'd like to do again. I went home that day and hired a mother's helper ;)

3. There is a season for growth and there is a season for maintaining. Those of you who have known me from the beginning, know that I am a VERY hard worker. I set my mind on starting a business and immediately started in on 10+ hours a day of marketing and social media management to achieve my dream. So it's hard not to beat myself up these days over going two weeks without posting on instagram. But it is what it is... right now I have to be kind to myself and allow for some down time. Do I still want to work? Oh absolutely. But can I expect myself to work the same number of hours? Not at this moment. What should I sacrifice? Certainly not my current clients or clients seeking me out. So I sacrifice on marketing. Which is SO odd feeling after 2 years of marketing with almost every breath I took.

I know, I know, these don't sound like lofty goals to you. But knowing my worth, accepting that I may need help with child care and giving myself permission to "just" maintain my business instead of hustle were astonishingly hard conclusions to come to for some reason or another.

Talk to me about your goals at the moment... and how they differ from the goals you set during another season of your life? I'd love to hear about the ebb and flow you came to accept and love! Below I'm sharing some of my favorites from my first photoshoot since the birth of our daughter. To learn more about these looks, head on over to NikkiFreeStyle.com!

I'm happiest when I'm photographing unposed, real life activities that make my subject happy. And with the Masters right around the corner, I thought I'd share a few images I snapped of my cousin's sweet kiddo last fall at a golf tournament. Are you in the Atlanta Metro or Dallas Metro area and want me to come out and capture your littles doing what they love best?

Two things I learned during Labor & Delivery | Atlanta Lifestyle Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Thu, 29 Mar 2018 10:00:00 GMT

On the evening of January 15th, exactly two weeks after her due date, we welcomed our daughter into the world. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we took 6 weeks to ourselves to admire the gift we've been given. And thank you, especially, for your patience with me as I enter back into the work force ... there is absolutely a learning curve to becoming a mom who works both inside and outside the home.

Atlanta Birth Photographer

Many of you have asked about her birth and while we want to keep the specifics private, I will share two things I learned during the process:

1. The importance of building a birth team you can trust.

You are vulnerable and sometimes scared and it is imperative you are surrounded by people who won't exploit that. C was born into a room full of love. My husband delivered our daughter under the supervision of the midwife. The nurses perfectly understood how I carried previous hospital trauma with me and did everything to make sure I felt safe. The midwives of Nile Midwifery HEARD me and supported our choices. Our hospital had policies in line with our vision for her birth. Our doula Christine Strain pointed us in the direction of evidenced based information when we had questions and Annette of Womb Wise, our Bradley Method Childbirth Coach, was the calm presence that rounded out the team. My husband and I agree that if we had to do it all over again, we'd do everything the same and this is in LARGE part because of the people we surrounded ourselves with. If you're expecting, I highly recommended being diligent in the hiring process of your O.B. and hiring a Doula, as well as taking a child birth class with teachings in line with your values. I'd also recommend hiring a post-partum doula, something we did not do but looking back, would have benefited greatly from.

2. You experience the birth you were meant to experience.

I hear so many women these days shaming themselves, second guessing and harboring resentment and regret over the way they birthed and I absolutely refuse that course. Did everything go "as planned" for us? Absolutely not. But we had the birth that was meant for us. We learned the lessons we needed to learn. We met the people we needed to meet. We received the gifts we were meant to receive and the hardships we needed to experience to truly appreciate the moments of joy.

Atlanta Birth Photographer

Thank you so much for all the love you all have been sending our way. As for work --> I'm currently scheduling Individual Style Sessions for bloggers & brands on Fridays and have resumed monthly Fashion Fridays (Bloggers & Brands, you can check availability and make your deposits for Style Sessions & Fashion Friday here). Additionally, Spring Family Portrait Sessions and Senior Sessions are in full swing (contact me directly to schedule). I look forward to getting back into the swing of things and working with all my regular clients again -- I've missed you friends!

Until next time,

Amber

5 Images You Need For A Fashion Blog Post | Gossett Photography

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 11:00:00 GMT

Hello pretty friends!

Today I'm sharing with you the "must have" shots you'll want during a Style Session to make sure you have all the imagery you need for a successful blog post. This isn't to say you can't stray from this list and add a few creative shots to make things pop... but at a minimum, you'll want the following five:

From A Distance

I always include a few full body shots from a distance, specifically "for the gram". For example, the below can be cropped into a square and the viewers will still be able to take in the whole outfit as a preview for whats to come on the blog.

Accessories

Be sure to point out to the photographer, all the accessories you plan on providing links or information for on your blog so that they are photographed properly.

Full Body

You'll want to make sure all your readers have a good view of the clothing and how it lays and was styled all together. Include one natural looking full body image so your readers can envision themselves in the same outfit!

Head Shot

During each outfit, I like to always take at least one head shot of my client -- as a blogger, you need a handful of these to choose from for things like profile pictures and images to introduce yourself when you are guest blogging.

Fun & Flirty

Your blog post pictures will get boring REALLY fast if every. single. one. is of you posing for the camera in the same "natural" looking stance. I always try to snap a few doing something slightly different... leaning up against a wall, looking into a mirror/reflection, sitting on a bench. Nothing to crazy, just something to break up the monotony of you standing there for your readers ;)

XOXO,

Amber G

5 Reasons to Have an In Home Lifestyle Session with Your Newborn | Atlanta Family Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Wed, 24 Jan 2018 11:00:00 GMT

5 Reasons to Have an In Home Lifestyle Session With Your Newborn

We are in a state of BABY FEVER over here in the Gossett Home... with a newborn of our own and SO in love... so I thought I'd extend that to the blog today. I was asked often during my pregnancy and right after her arrival, what type of newborn images I was wanting and my answer was and still is IN HOME LIFESTYLE. This also happens to be my favorite style to shoot, since my love of photography stems from documenting the fleeting beauty of real life moments. So today I wanted to share 5 reasons why I think you should consider an in home lifestyle session for your newest addition.

1. These moments are not forever and you will miss them. Yes, your house may be a little messier than usual. Yes, you may not feel like getting out of those sweatpants. Yes, you may not have washed your hair in 3 days. I say, embrace it. This is the season of life you are in right now and it will not last forever. One day you'll be dropping that precious baby off at college and you will long for the days when you went grocery shopping with spit up down your backside. Okay, maybe you won't long for THAT moment, but chances are you'll miss "when (s)he was little". But it will be gone. At least have a few quality images of what real life looked like in those first two weeks to remember it by. I promise when you see the images, you'll recognize the beauty in the mundane and the perfection in imperfection. Give yourself that gift as a new mother, because it is probably something you really need right about now.

2. Getting out of the house is hard. Even if you do manage to put some make up on, fix your hair and get the whole fam dressed casually, getting them from point A to point B might just be the breaking point. Especially if you have more than one kiddo!

3. Quality Images for your baby's baby book documenting meaningful reality, not a creative vision, will be more meaningful for him/her as an adult. When I gift my baby's baby book to her after she's had her own baby, the image of her stuffed in a jar full of valentine sweet heart candies may not hold so much meaning to her. But I can guarantee the one of her laying on her daddies chest will mean the world.

4. Your other children will cooperate better in a familiar environment. If you're longing for some sibling images, you'll be wrangling two or more children (one of them being newborn) and crossing every finger and all your toes that it all goes well. It might. And it might not. And with a new addition to the family, your other children might be behaving in some unexpected ways. Should they get too overwhelmed in a lifestyle shoot, they can simply go to their own space to have some alone time. Or they'll likely want to show off their own room and toys and welcome the attention, which will produce some lovely images of them doing what they love most at this time in their life. Eventually they will warm up to the camera and be eager to show me "how they hold the baby". With in home lifestyle, we just go with the flow and photograph whomever is most cooperative at the time. Happy children are the most photogenic children.

5. Documenting the nursery. You probably spend 9 months or more dreaming up that nursery. You thoughtfully placed furniture and a relative lovingly created a handknit blanket; dad worked hard to paint the walls and every little detail was hemed and hawed over for hours or more. Rocking in the antique family rocker, laying on "just the right sheets" you went to 8 different stores to find... there are lots of ways we can photograph your baby while incorporating their perfect little nursery. If it's anything like our nursery, we're betting there is a closet you can stuff that basket of unfolded baby clothes in ;)

An in home lifestyle session isn't just for new additions to the family; this documentary style is perfect for other family milestones you'll want to remember. I hope you'll reach out a lifestyle photographer near you and book something to capture YOUR beautiful chaos; You won't regret it!

XOXO,

Amber Gossett

5 Ways To Prepare For Your Blogger Photoshoot | Atlanta Blogger Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 11:00:00 GMT

5 ways to prepare for your Blogging Photoshoot

I have the privilege of photographing some of Atlanta's most influential fashion and lifestyle bloggers on a regular basis and have since learned how to advise my clients on making the most of their time with me. When you are paying a photographer an hourly rate, it is important to be organized in order to afford the photoshoot, as well as to fit in all the looks and scenes you have prepared. Today I'm sharing my top 5 tips on how to best prepare for your Blogging Photoshoot.

1. First things first. Money. Yep, let's talk about it. You shouldn't be reaching into your own pocket to pay for your photographer. Instead, reach out to the brands you want to represent and share your rates with them. Start by at least covering the cost of your photoshoot. The brands will understand and will WANT to make sure that the imagery representing their product is top notch and therefore shouldn't mind paying for such high quality work. Explain this to them. Doing this WELL in advance is very important and will ultimately set the stage for how your blog fares as a BUSINESS.

2. Shoot for the next season. Remember that it will take time to get your images back. Then, it will take you time to select your favorites, write up your piece and organize your social media accounts with all the imagery. If you shoot bathing suits in August, you'll be disappointed when September rolls around and your finally posting them. I know, I know. Shooting that big heavy coat in Atlanta's 90 degree September weather is no fun. But your blog is a business. And planning well in advance is key to running any type of successful business.

3. Run a "dress rehearsal". A couple of days prior to your photoshoot, lay out all of your outfits and put them in an order that seems most efficient. For example, if you are wearing the same pair of jeans with two outfits, put those outfits one after another. Put on the dress next, because you can quickly throw it on over your pants and then shimmy outta those pants... allowing you to change in the public places we so often find ourselves changing in ;) Now, actually try on all these outfits the way your would change into them at the shoot and decide if that order is in fact, most efficient. Swap around an outfit or too if need be! Assess whether certain underthings might be necessary to look your best or make changing even more efficient. Would a little tank top create a situation where you can swap tops in the street? Did you remember to pack the strapless bra for the little dress? Etc. During your dress rehearsal is the perfect time to "note" all the things you love most about each outfit. We photographers want to know these things so we can make sure to capture all the details you'll want to discuss in your blog piece.

4. Hang each outfit onto one hanger and put those hangers in the appropriate order. Hang them in your car instead of wadding them up in a duffle bag; Wrinkles will not show that brand that you are representing them well.

5. I cannot even begin to tell you the number of times a blogger has said to me, after the shoot, "Oh no, I forgot to change out my jewelry!" Buy a few little drawstring baggies and hang them on each of the hangers with the coordinating jewelry. If you want to change lipsticks for a look, put the lipstick in that baggie too.

What are some thing you do to prepare for you blogging photoshoots? I'd love to hear them below!

XOXO,

Amber G

Handmade Holiday Makers Market | Georgia Product Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:00:00 GMT

Last year, I was asked to photograph the Atlanta "shop local" event of the season... Handmade Holiday Makers Market! I can't wait to attend again this year... I have a feeling that with a little one on the way, I'll be spending too much on adorable bibs & burp cloths lovingly made by the talented handmakers of Atlanta! In 2016, I was brand new to the area and through this market, I was able to connect with many Etsy Shop owners in need of product photography -- I have ALL the respect for these Boss Ladies and loved getting to know their brands. If you are interested in supporting handmakers and love shopping local, this event is HUGE... you will be able to check almost everyone off your gift list in one day, promise! Hope to see you there!

Our Baby Shower in Atlanta, Georgia | Gossett Photography

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 11:00:00 GMT

This Thanksgiving, I had so much to be thankful for - an uneventful and healthy pregnancy after a three year journey of trying to start a family, a husband who treats me better than I deserve, a thriving business, and a new house in a new state with new friends who have welcomed me into their community with open arms. I have to admit, when I moved to Atlanta... I was a nervous wreck on the inside. I was lonely and scared that my business might not make it in this new-to-me HUGE market with so many players in the game. I was homesick and I didn't know a single person other than my husband. But I put myself out there and to my relief, was immediately embraced by other creatives who I am now proud to call my friends.

When we announced our pregnancy, we received so much support from our friends and family both near and far. My cousin and two best friends since the 6th grade threw me a beautiful baby shower back home in Dallas, Texas. You can see all the pictures from that beautiful day HERE. I was also asked by a dear friend and fellow creative, @BlueGrayGal if she could throw me an Atlanta Baby Shower. TWO BABY SHOWERS? TWICE I was celebrated and surrounded by a room full of strong women. I am the luckiest girl in the world. Below are some snaps of the day!! Thank you so much to everyone who came and those who were there in spirit, it means the world to me! To start, I will bombard you with a million cupcake pictures... because they were all so pretty I couldn't help but photograph them ALL. Llama & Cactus Cupcakes were to match the Llama & Cactus Nursery we are finishing up, and the camera cupcake, because well, you know...

Thanks for stopping by!!

XOXO,

Amber G

Smokey Mountain National Park

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 17 Nov 2017 11:00:00 GMT

Hello lovelies!

Fall is one of my favorite times of year. There are so many things that make my heart happy during this season: The last camping trip of the season, the changing colors of the leaves, the crisp air and soaking in the last of what the farmer's markets have to offer for the remainder of the year. The holidays start piling up and there is so much to do and so many people to visit! Every year, no matter where we have lived, we've always made it a priority to get into the mountains for the big fall color show. In Colorado, the Aspen trees took our breath away. Here, we have the Smokies. Last fall, we took a self guided "Photographic Tour" of the well loved national park and I wanted to share those images with you here today to hopefully inspire YOU to get outside and play! I've recently started an Etsy Shop to sell the Fine Art Prints we've created during our travels. A framed landscape print, or a photograph on fine art paper (feels like water color paper) makes a simple, yet beautiful gift for anyone in your life that has a clear case of Wanderlust. Those of us who love to wander love to also be surrounded by beautiful places while sitting at mundane places like our desk! If you have any questions or would like to create a custom order, please feel free to reach out!

Baby Girl's due date is fast approaching -- Today I'm 33 weeks; we are expecting her to make her debut around January 1st! If you haven't already read about my maternity plans, you can read about that HERE! I only have one more month of sessions left before my maternity leave begins and there are only a couple spots left for that time period!

I recently went home to Dallas, Texas to visit with family one last time before the little one gets here, and my two best friends since 6th grade and cousin graciously threw me a LOVELY baby shower! I wish you could taste the strawberry cupcakes my cousin (the family baker) made... I'll have to get the recipe sometime and share it here! It was so nice to have all the women that raised me up to be the woman I am in one room showering us with love! I just have to share a couple photos below of all the fun!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I know everyone is busy creating their shopping lists... from ingredients for meals to prepare, to holiday decor and gifts for friends & family! It also means that all the handmade shops are busy making sure their online presence is PERFECT so that you can have a top notch shopping experience! Now, we all love Etsy, amiright? Well... have you ever been persuaded to either buy or not buy an item due to the way it was photographed? We've been told, by our favorite artisans, that quality professional photographs with the item on both a white background and in use in it's "natural environment" makes ALL the difference in their sales numbers. We love working with other small business owners and creatives, both local and farther away! Below is a brand we have fallen in love with; Plush Pumpkins! This line up of products in particular was designed by our friend Blue Gray Gal, as an exclusive for Plush Pumpkins. The leather metallic pumpkins are my personal favorite; how bout yours?

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 03 Nov 2017 10:00:00 GMT

Hello lovelies! Today we are talking SKIN CARE and I'm so excited because the ingredients in beauty products are something I'm pretty passionate about. When I was first diagnosed with both Hashimotos Auto-Immune Disease and Thyroid Cancer, I read a lot about what I should and shouldn't eat or put on my skin. "Endocrine Disruptors" were on the top of the "shouldn't" list for anything that went on my skin. So, when the owner and founder of Aveseena reached out to me and started to describe her product, I knew I wanted to give it a try and was excited to photograph the products as well!

I've had dark spots and redness on my face for years, and after about a month of using Aveseena's Essential Radiance Serum and Ageless Perfection Cream daily, along with the HoneyActive Beauty Mask once a week, there is a noticeable difference in the discoloration. My skin tone finally looks more even! Patches of dryness and oily spots were a common promblem after Thryoid Cancer; Now it feels consistent and not too dry or too oily. My make up always goes on smoothly after the application of cream and serum, and the mask is something I truly look forward to along with a long hot bath -- a little treat for myself at the end of each work week! It is super sticky and thick but smells like heaven. Below are some peeks of the pretty packaging these products come in, along with the beautiful brains behind the brand.

If you are into natural beauty and supporting independent beauty companies, I highly recommend giving Aveseena a try!

She calls it "Love Your Beard" and you can count on only the highest quality ingredients, as with all of her handmade products!

A Note About my Maternity Leave

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 10:00:00 GMT

Hello lovelies! First I want to say thank you for all the love that you guys have been sending our way since announcing our newest addition. The amount of support has been overwhelming in the best kind of way! Next, I'd like to officially address my upcoming maternity leave, as so many of you have been asking.

Unless for medical reasons I am unable, I intend to shoot until I am 37 weeks (December 11th). That said, please understand that should I go into labor early or out of medical necessity I am stuck in bed, our session will of course be cancelled (with full refund of deposit). I understand many of your online businesses depend on updated photography, so I'm trying to find a balance between decreasing your odds of a cancelled session and making myself as available as possible until her arrival.
The last Fashion Friday before my maternity leave will be on December 1st. The next Fashion Friday after that will be on March 9th. A pop-up Fashion Friday in February is possible - I just cannot promise it at this time. Stay tuned!
I will still be booking during my maternity leave - so please don't hesitate to reach out with your future scheduling needs during that time time! I'm looking forward to a spring full of style sessions, family & engagement sessions! I can't wait to meet all my 2018 & 19 brides!
I will resume my normal schedule March 16th.
Product Photography will continue on as normal, as this is done in our home studio.
Bloggers- Please schedule November, December, March & April with as much advance notice as possible; I want to fit as many of you in as I can in before my leave so you have plenty of content! Depending on how we are doing and when she decides to make her debut, it may be possible to book quick (baby-wearing) blogging shoots in Marietta in February if you have a brand that has immediate needs- I just can't promise anything yet! Shoot me an e-mail if the need arises!

Thank you so much for all your continued understanding and support!

XOXO,

Amber, Michael & Baby Girl Gossett

Style Sessions: What to expect

(Gossett Photography) — Wed, 11 Oct 2017 10:00:00 GMT

I've been fortunate enough to work alongside a few of Atlanta's most well-loved style bloggers since moving here one year ago and during that time. I get many inquiries about what to expect during a Style Session so I thought I'd go ahead and do a blog post on my most frequent questions! Here goes!

1. How many images will I be allowed to download? You'll be allowed to choose your favorite 20 images to downloads per hour booked. You'll receive more than that in your gallery - I want you to have lots of choices!

2. What if I want more images? They are available for purchase at $5 each (web-only license) and $25 each (High Res with print license) -- This will be a separate invoice

3. Where am I allowed to use the images? On your blog and it's social media accounts, as profile pictures etc.

4. What if a brand I work with wants to use an image? They should contact me directly for a license. Your contract states that the images are only licensed to you; I don't include the license for others in order to keep your session fee low.

5. Will you focus on sponsored items and pieces? What about detail shots? Yes. Before each outfit is shot, we'll discuss what is sponsored or gifted, what you love most about the outfits and what details are most important.

6. May I print an image? Not without purchasing the High Resolution Image with Print License ($25.00) or ordering prints through your gallery using the shopping cart icon. I don't include this in your session because 99.9% of the time, bloggers simply want online use and this helps me keep your overall costs low. Please use the shopping cart icon to purchase the High Resolution Image with Print License if, for example, you'd like to print an image on your business cards or use the image again and again. Want a print to frame for your office? It's more cost effective to simply order a print directly from me, but the choice is yours!

7. How many outfits can I fit into an hour? This completely depends on how quickly you change, where you change in relation to where we shoot, how comfortable you are in front of the camera and how many image choices you'd like to choose from. Some clients prefer not to rush and want dozens of images to choose from per look. Some clients are also professional models, some clients are brand new to being in front of a camera. Sometimes you want to feature a really cool wall that is unfortunately far from where you are able to change. I've shot anywhere from 2-6 looks in one hour. 3-4 is a reasonable expectation.

8. Where should we shoot? You should take into consideration your brand and style before selecting a location. If you already have a few in mind, let me know! If you'd like suggestions, I'm happy to take a look at your blog or listen to the direction you'd like your brand to go in and make a few suggestions.

9. Can you shoot Style Sessions on weekends? If you plan well in advance, this is possible. I also shoot weddings and families and travel a lot on weekends for those things, so weekends are considerably more difficult to book, especially during Spring and Fall. Weekdays can generally be booked two weeks out, sometimes even last minute! Also keep in mind, if you prefer not to deal with on-lookers and crowds, weekends may not be the best choice for street style.

10. What time of day is best to book? When shooting street style, we are offered a lot of shade from tall city buildings - making the normally impossible afternoon light perfectly possible! Since sunrise and sunset are more difficult to book during Fall & Spring Portrait Seasons and many of you have families to care for, I find that shoots during the hours between 9-5 are very popular and the light works fine for urban setting shoots. If you want a session in an open field or park, we need to discuss sunset or sunrise (AKA "Golden Hours") and do so well in advance.

Poke around on the blog and my social media to figure out whether or not you feel we'd be a good fit! I'd love to work with you! Below is the beautiful and always super fun @momwithoutlabels and a peek inside her last Style Sesh.

August Fashion Friday | Atlanta Fashion Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 10:00:00 GMT

I love being a photographer; especially on Fashion Fridays when I team up with some of Atlanta's most promising Fashion Bloggers to shoot their looks. 2 hours, 5 looks, 3 bloggers. It's fast paced and you better believe it is WORK for not just myself, but my client's as well. Here is a peek inside August's Fashion Friday Photoshoot in Midtown, Atlanta with Stylist Aliya Patrice

Like a Polaroid Picture | Rockwall Family Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Fri, 06 Oct 2017 10:00:00 GMT

The day I planned my Cousin's Family Portrait Session in Rockwall, Texas, her daughter asked if she could bring her Polaroid Camera. Of course I said yes, and together, we went through our Camera Bag Checklist. I had spare memory cards, she had spare film... etc. She looked at my camera case and then back up at me. With a little re-arranging we were able to fit her camera in right alongside mine. After their family portrait session in Harry Myers Park was wrapped up, it was her turn. I watched as she posed her family members and eagerly awaited for the film to develop. She used phrases that I had been using during our session and yes - it was very strange to hear! As much as I love all of these pictures because well, they are members of my own family, I especially love the joy captured over that little toy camera. I'll be returning this month and I can't wait to see some of these images we captured that day as canvas wraps hanging gallery style on the wall. Contact me to book your family portrait session in Rockwall from October 16th-19th!

Senior Session in Roswell, Georgia | Atlanta Photographer

(Gossett Photography) — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 10:00:00 GMT

School is back in and the seniors have filled my calendar -- I could not be happier about that! I love hearing about their future plans; Where they plan to attend college, sports and activities they are interested in pursuing further during their college careers, what they intend to major in. I also love watching their mama's face during the session, so full of love and hope and excitement for their baby's future.

Josh is a Senior who has spent the last six years of this life rowing at the Atlanta Rowing Club in Roswell, Georgia, so it was very fitting that we start in the park he is used to running in and finish at the Atlanta Rowing Club's boathouse and pier. Picking a memorable location is no doubt important; When planning your senior session, think about the memories you'd like to preserve... what you will remember most about the last few years. Here are some of my favorites from Josh's Senior Portrait Session!
