This past weekend I had the opportunity to be the photographer for an event hosted by the Keith Brooking Children’s Foundation. Keith Brooking has been a linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons over the last several years. This fall, however, you’ll be able to watch him play for the Dallas Cowboys. Of course that will require a big move from his home state of Georgia to Texas. His foundation, friends, and family gathered to send him off in style with a surprise farewell. Surprised he was…
Keith got his start at Georiga Tech, so it was only fitting that the event took place overlooking the Georgia Tech football field. Below are a few more details from the evening….
Many kind words were spoken about Keith throughout the evening, including a speech from his new coach, Wade Phillips.
It would be remiss of me if I didn’t include a photo of the amazing team of coordinators that planned and organized the entire event. Plus, a special shout out to the executive director, Miranda Graham…. She knows how to put on a party with style! That’s Miranda in the light pink dress {the dress that I want to steal from her!}.

This past weekend I had the privilege of photographing a fundraiser for baby Colin. He and his family are fighting to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. It’s a disease that has effected their lives in a personal way when Colin was born with it. I first met Colin and his mom, Samantha, at my Photography Workshop. Soon after that, I learned about the fundraiser and had to get involved. I’m so glad I did. It’s amazing to see a community, my community, band together to make a difference.
First, meet the team that organized the whole event. They are an incredible group of women, I’m honored to call friends.
Colin slept most of the day away in his mother’s arms.
One of the more moving moments was to see children donating their own money.
So many companies donated their products, supplies and food to make the day a success.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention one of miracles of the day. Severe rain was forecast for the day of the event. We’ve had so much rain predicted lately, and it’s been accurate. Many prayers went up asking for God to hold off the rain from 2:30-4:30, so the event could go on. He did just that. We heard reports of it raining just blocks away, but not over the park where we were. At 4:40, as we were wrapping things up, rain drops began to fall.
A live band, The Makepeace Brothers, played at the event. Cool group of guys, check them out!
Check out the video montage below for more photographs from the day. More importantly, visit www.cff.org if you too would like to make a difference in the life of a child fighting CF.

I can only imagine what this ballerina looks like dancing across the stage, just standing there she was stunning. Anne Tyler is no stranger to the Fox Theater, or center stage for that matter. She dances her way into audiences hearts on a regular basis as a prima ballerina for the Atlanta Ballet Company. I was privy to step back stage with her and grab a few photos for her spot in Jezebel Magazine.
I’ve never seen the stage from this perspective, so I had to grab a pic.
A few prep photos.
Since we were at the salon already we grabbed a few photos there first.
Check out the floor of the salon. You can kind of see it in a few photos. It’s stained concrete. I love that! I would do my whole house in stained concrete if Drew would let me. I’d have concrete countertops too. Okay, I’m off track. Let’s see, where were we……
Now on to the dressing room at the Fox Theater. I was SO wishing a tutu was a part of the plan, but no.
