Yesterday, despite the lack of perfect weather, Spencer, Katie, Ella Ann, Rane and I set out for East Atlanta Village. East Atlanta Village has become my favorite place in Atlanta thanks to Kim and Reid , who introduced me to this charming part of our city a few months ago.
East Atlanta is a diverse, friendly neighborhood with traditional neighborhood charm and never ending variety of backgrounds for portraits of all types.
We met up at Joe’s Coffee Shop, a lovely little coffee shop located on Flat Shoals Ave, whose staff are friendly and serve up a great cup of coffee or in my chase a mocha.
Here is a preview of the portraits from their session. Enjoy and don’t forget to leave me some comments, I would love to hear from you!

I bought this trunk months ago from a dear neighbor with the idea of using it for children’s portraits, but had not had the opportunity to use it until yesterday. The trunk is from the late 1940′s early 50′s and was used my former neighbor’s son as a suite case for summer camp in the 1950′s. I could not image packing for camp in a trunk however using it for portraits I can. I also applied a texture to this portrait, feedback is welcomed.





Mr. Bob of 1st Class Barber & Beauty invited us to come inside the barber shop and photograph Rane in their awesome fire truck seat for kids. This was a big hit with Rane and made for some super cute portraits of this little guy who recently turned one! Thanks Mr. Bob for inviting us into your shop!





It is hard to believe Ella Ann is four years old already.




Thanks Spencer and Katie for braving the cold and for a great portrait session!
