"Miss Caroline"

I'd like to introduce you to Miss Caroline Clark.

"Caroline"

This is the third consecutive year Caroline's parents have trusted me to capture her radient beauty for the Photogentic Competition of the annual Kaolin Pageant. And like the two previous years, Caroline won! The picture above is the one Caroline's Mom, Brandi, chose to enter in the competition.

Thank you, Chad and Brandi, for the opportunity to create "photo magic" with Miss Caroline! I look forward to working with her again next year!

XoXoXo,

~Jess

Jessi, these pics are truely amazing!! You did such great work with her! It's comforting, as a Mother, to know that I can leave my child in your hands and you can produce pics like these!! It would have never happened had I been there. You work GREAT with children which is a wonderful quality to have as a photographer. I cannot wait for you to do our family pics!! Thanks again for all your hard work!! They turned beautiful!

Jessi, Caroline's pics are GREAT. And Brandi, Caroline is such a doll, she takes the BEST pictures; I do believe you have a future model on your hands with her. Give Caroline a hug for me and tell her I said I love her, and Oh yeah, don't forget to do the same to Rah Rah...See you later.

The Scoop...Engagements

One of the questions I get asked most frequently by prospective clients is if I select engagement session locations, or if they are chosen by clients themselves.

With my clients, I usually ask them to select a starting location that has significance to them or that is intriguing to them in some way. In Sandersville, many clients like to go to the Shoals, for instance, and it is also possible to get a beautiful shot of our lovely skyline from such a vantage point. Other popular locations include places where clients have had a first date, the neighborhood by their home, or a special park or environment that people find inspiring. Such as taking a few photos at the ice cream parlor where they had their first date.

People naturally tend to be a bit attracted to traditionally attractive areas of towns, but many photographers, including myself, find inspiration in some of the "uglier" areas of the city. Industrial corridors, alleyways, or abandoned lots can all provide great visual interest in photographs and also can juxtapose so nicely with "pretty people." As such, even if we're shooting in a flowery, scenic area, I'll tend to pull clients into a little alley, side street or parking garage to take photos with a more urban feel and a different textural or colour interest. Selecting a "starting point," but asking your photographer to explore on his or her own from there can be a wonderful way to get a photo with location significance while also receiving unexpected and artistic photographs that speak to your photographer's vision, as well as your love.

If you're at a loss for ideas or more flexible, leaving the location up to your photographer can be a great experience. I have a short list of locations that photograph well that might suit your session, and if I've had a phone or in-person consultation with you (always recommended), I can most likely hand-pick a location that will complement your personal style.

Overall, select somewhere you'll be comfortable that feels "like you," and fabulous photos should result regardless of your starting location!
