To all the stylists and designers who make our assignments go smooth and look great.
To all the creative directors, photo editors, and editors in chief who trust our vision.
To our gear support crew at PPR who always got our back.
To all the people who let us into their homes and lives to create havoc and mayhem and take some beautiful photographs.
And to each other for loving what we do and doing it together.
Atlanta Magazine’s HOME 2017 Winter Issue Release and Holiday Party at Design Within Reach with new Creative Director Tom Hurd, and new Editor in Chief Mary Logan Bikoff. Cheers!
On assignment- on location- and loving it!
With Bev Baribault (BBDG) and her assistant, ace flower arranger, and hanger, Linda.
And yes- it’s all true- we love what we do- we have a good time.
Cheers all.
(And no, Owen didn’t get the wardrobe memo…)
Well… another year has come and is soon to be gone, but we’re not done yet.
We’re on assignment in Atlanta for Southern Home magazine.
And yes, it’s a holiday story! How’d you know?
We’ve got a couple more shoots this month then it’s time to party.
Oh- you thought we partied all the time?
… and what a beautiful view it is.
Not on the road, not on location, not on assignment; we are in the office, taking care of business, drinking espresso shots and watching the snow fall.
It won’t last but, while it does, we’ll enjoy it.
A little taste of a tasteful renovation in Midtown Atlanta.
The 2017 Winter issue of Atlanta Magazine’s HOME.

This is our first shoot with new Creative Director Tom Hurd and new Editor in Chief Mary Logan Bikoff.
Check it out here.
Tis’ the Season!
Check out Southern Home magazine’s Winter 2017 issue and Atlanta designer Beth Ervin’s home in full Xmas mode.
They come in bottles on the tide-
Spray painted on walls-
Texted to the wrong number-
On scraps of paper carried on the wind…
Who wrote them? Who are they meant for? What do they really mean?
tactile |ˈtaktl | adjective - of or connected with the sense of touch
visual |ˈviZH(o͞o)əl | adjective - of or relating to seeing or sight
They come together when you can hold the photos in your hand.
You can pass them to the person sitting across from you- hang them on the wall- stick them to the fridge- carry them in your wallet- put them in a tray on your coffee table and watch the reaction on your friends’ faces as they dig through them.
There is a visceral sensation not present when viewing photos on a phone…
Think about that.
On a recent trip to Nashville we had the opportunity to shoot a number of portraits of our friend and colleague Anna Forkum, a very talented Interior Designer and Photo Stylist.
We shot a number of different set-ups, but we especially love this one which we felt really captured Anna and her working process, whether in her design studio or on set.
Honored to have my art piece, “Assemblage #021” selected by Steve McKenzie of McKenzie Interior Design for his vignette for Dwell With Dignity’s Thrift Studio.
Thrift Studio kicks off with a Preview Party which is a ticketed event where guests can shop the pop-up shop before it opens to the general public.
Preview Party is September 28, 2017 at ADAC Atlanta Decorative Arts Center.
Tickets available at thriftstudio.com
Thrift Studio opens to the public September 29 - October 20 at ADAC
