    I was recently given the opportunity to participate in a bridal show at Olde Towne Athletic Club.  In addition to being an exhibiting vendor at the show, I had the honor of being asked to shoot the fashion show.  The fashion portion of the show was produced by Karin Trexler, manager of Wedding Angels, a bridal boutique in Historic Roswell.  Makeup and hair styling for the models were provided by Voila Salon, also of Roswell.  I was very excited to be shooting the fashion show, and at the same time, freaking out just bit because Read More | Comments

    "Hand Tinted" Black & White

    This is a bit of old and new.  The technique of “hand tinting” on black and white images has been around for decades.  I started hand tinting years ago on black and white prints in my early film days.  Back then we would make a print in the required finished size, then myself or an assistant would spend hours with tiny brushes or swabs painting on the print with chemical dyes, it was a laborious  process!  If we made a mistake, a new print was made, and we started all over again.

    You are probably wondering why there is a photo of a turtle on a wedding photography blog.  No, it’s not because this is the Bride’s favorite pet and he will be in the wedding, can you imagine waiting on him to make it down the aisle?  Good guess, but that’s not it.  There is, however, a story behind Mr. Turtle’s portrait.

    Can you imagine a wedding in the North Georgia Mountains on a Spring day, the flowers blooming and trees green with new leaves?  Escaping the heat of Atlanta in Summer to have your wedding in the cool mountains?  Or having a wedding ceremony in Autumn with the surrounding mountains ablaze with the colors of the season, reds, yellows and golds?  Then dancing the night away under the stars within the stone walls of 90-year-old ruin?   Read More | Comments

    It’s finally out!   My new ad in the Atlanta Bride and Groom Planner is in the latest issue!  I picked up the latest copy at a luncheon last week by The Atlanta B&G Planner and Atlanta Occasions.  The lunch was at the  new Hotel Palomar, a luxury midtown hotel.  The Palomar would be a great place for a reception if your wedding was in Atlanta.  I will be adding Hotel Palomar to my referral list soon.

    Many of my clients return and request that I photograph the newest members of their family.  Just a few days prior to her parents eighth wedding anniversary, this beautiful baby girl was born.  In these images she is a little over a week old.
    It’s days like Saturday that make it good to be me!  I hope these images bring you some of the joy I experienced making them!

    Well, it’s about time!  The new site is here!  As you may have noticed, the web site for Treasured Image has changed.  Changed for the better with a new look and format.  The biggest change is the elimination of  Flash content from the site.  For those of you that are unfamiliar with Flash, it’s a little piece of programming that makes all the pretty slide shows and music work on some web sites.  While Flash makes for a nice web site, there’s a downside.  Google, Ask, Yahoo and other search engines don’t like Flash.  Yup, they don’t, the reason is they can’t read the content of the Flash based site as easily.  As a result Flash sites don’t rank as well as other sites.  This is called low SEO or, Search Engine Optimization.  At my age, it’s common to keep an eye out for high cholesterol, so now I need to watch out for low SEO?  To make Google and the other search sites happy, I dumped the Flash content.
    A second benefit, this blog.  I am looking forward to sharing some of my latest work, like the image to your left, this is from a wedding I shot in September.  They were a great couple, it was a wonderful day and loads of fun!  When I first saw this picture on the screen during editing I was very excited!  Everything was perfect, the way they were centered in the aisle, their expressions, the reflection in the floor, everything!  The image is pretty much as shot, with no photoshop enhancements.
    The third, and I think best of all benefits is that I will be able to keep content both images and text updated, something that has been a bit of a challenge lately given my busy schedule.
