This just in: details of the Spring Fling FARMtastic Farm & Photo Day at The Art Barn in Canton!

Please join Farmer Sue and me for a fun-filled day of photos, hay rides, art time and barnyard snuggles.

WHEN:  Saturday, May 2 10:00 - 6:00 RSVP ONLY!
WHERE: The Art Barn at Morning Glory Farm in Canton.  www.morninggloryfarm.net

WHAT: Spend a FARMtastic day with your family at the farm AND have your kid's farm portraits made by me!

COST: $25 for a mini photo session with me + $12.50 per person admission to The Art Barn.

I will be set up in front of a wonderful, vintage pick-up truck all day on Saturday.  Appointments are necessary.  For $25 you'll receive a delightful professionally printed 5 x 7 photo of your child (up to 3 children per sitting).  You'll also have access to an online gallery with several additional images available for purchase.

You can come dressed up in farm garb or grab some of the garb we'll have available on site!

Farmer Sue has all kinds of wonderful plans up her sleeve for the day, too! 

Bring a picnic lunch and spend the day petting and snuggling with bunnies, lambs, and sheep.  If you're up for a pony ride, those are available too for an additional $5. 
Your children will delight in finding freshly laid eggs in the chicken house.  They'll squeal at the sight of Hampton the pig as he waddles across the barnyard and they'll giggle at the sound of the braying donkeys.

Wander into the brightly painted red art barn and dig into the paints and crayons and create a farm masterpiece!  Check out the new Bizzzzzy Bee Garden.  There will be so many delightful activities for you and your kids.

Reservations are required for both the photo session with me and for the farm day.  Farmer Sue's Spring Fling will be limited to 35 families per session.  Session times are 10:00 - 1:00 & 3:00 - 6:00*.  My sessions are limited, too, so make your reservations now!

Call me at 770-595-9293 or by email at photo.kerry@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

*Farmer Sue's Spring Fling and Farm Day will be held on Sunday, May 3 in addition to Saturday the 2nd.  If I have overflow from Saturday, I'll consider adding the 3rd as well!

Yee Haw! Farm Mini Sessions are Heading Your Way!

Yee haw! I’ve got some exciting news to announce. I am collaborating with The Art Barn at Morning Glory Farm for a “Family Farm & Photo Day!”
On Saturday, May 2nd, bring your kids and your farm duds and be prepared for some serious fun!

The Art Barn is home to Farmer Sue and her fabulous farm. Located in Hickory Flat in Canton, Morning Glory Farm has been featured on CNN, in the AJC and Travel Girl Magazine and in the UGA Alumni Magazine. Farmer Sue and her collection of animals, ranging from Strawberry the mini horse, Maggie & Shadow the goats and Hampton the pig to a woolly herd of sheep and a brood of colorful and friendly chickens have been entertaining children in the Atlanta area for the past nine years. 

And…of course I’ll be there with my camera! I am setting up shop in front of a great vintage pick-up truck on the farm. I’ll be offering farm-themed mini sessions for your kids. My trusty farm hands and I will schedule appointments throughout the day. Your kids can dress up for the occasion in boots, cowboy hats, neckerchiefs or bonnets, or they can just come as they are. Look at the photos below for our interpretation of the “American Gothic” theme!

It’s not named “The Art Barn” for nothing, either. Located on the farm, the cheerful red barn is base camp for great art projects and for learning more about farm life. Farmer Sue will have plenty of creative activities to spark any child’s imagination.
Susan’s cheerful and enthusiastic personality is infectious, and she’ll have you and your kids smiling and involved in no time! The animals are friendly and more than willing to be petted, held and ridden. Well, you can’t really ride a chicken, but the horse is willing!

I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone there and to creating some fun, unique photos for you! More details will follow. Check back in a few days for updates on times and prices. Please contact me soon to set up your appointment as the mini session spaces are limited.

A little bit of "American Gothic"

Hey, Pardner!

A sweet little duckling.  One of Sue's newest residents.

Overjoyed at her discovery of the baby ducks!

There are plenty of eggs to find in the barn!

An invaluable experience so close to the city!

Merry Christmas? Happy Holidays?

I know it's only August and there are still a few warm summer days left on the calendar, but I'm already gearing up for the holidays!  The little boxes on my daily planner are rapidly filling up with red "photo shoot" alerts and I'm busy designing and purchasing wonderful cards to offer my customers. 
I thought I'd show off a few here and remind everyone to reserve your fall session with me soon.  Before all the little boxes are full!

And don't forget, a portion of my October sales goes to Operation Smile :-)

Reserve your session soon! 

Lucky!

I recently had the pleasure to photograph a beautiful young Atlanta woman, Shana King, of adesign.
adesign is an Atlanta based company that creates and markets fantastic make-up brushes for the beauty professional and the consumer.  Shana and adesign will be featured in a story in Lucky Magazine in November accompanied by my photographs. Shana's dedication to her product can be summed up in her words: "Having the right brushes is the first step in achieving beautiful results but knowing how to use them is all about the experience and education."  In addition to designing and marketing the brushes, Shana also educates women around the country, pros and consumers alike, on proper brush use and technique. Check out the website: www.adesignbrushes.com
Needless to say, I am very excited about having my photos published in a nationwide magazine like Lucky and to have worked with such an amazing young woman.
I'm posting a couple of images from the shoot here, but check back in October (and buy the November issue of Lucky!) to see the published pics and story :-)

Operation Smile!

I am so pleased to announce that I have included my studio in PPA's Charity event "Operation Smile".  October is Family Portrait Month and in conjunction with that, Professional Photographers of America and professional photographers from all across the country and their clients raise money, through portrait sales,  for children in need of smiles.
During the month of October, I will donate a portion of all of my sales to Operation Smile.  There's no work required from my clients except to book your session during October.  I'm very excited about this and will be posting more information as October approaches.  If you are planning on a fall session with me, please consider booking in October so we can help make this a successful event for PPA Charities.
