Kale Corbett – A True Player
” Hi, I am Kale Corbett. My parents are Tim and Brandy Corbett and I have a sister, Katy Rose. I am in the 4th grade at Jefferson Academy. I love to play football, basketball, and run track. One day, I began to feel so tired that I couldn’t even play during my football game. That isn’t like me so my mom and dad took me to the doctor. After lots of tests, they said I had leukemia. It is a rare type of ALL.” -Kale
Meet Kale Corbett… that is Kale’s story. I just recently met Kale this past Monday, I have always known his mom, his uncle and just most recently shot his aunt’s engagement session…. a great and very close nit family! A very competitive gene pool there and Kale has seemed to gained it honestly as he jumped right out of the car with a football in hand throwing hailmary passes to his sister Katy and diving on the ground to catch passes (momma wasn’t crazy about him getting dirty, but it was a good catch!). Kale has been diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia… and has since under went a few chemo treatments, but I tell you what you would have never known it do to this guys spunk and good attitude! The GREAT news is they have a bone marrow donor and they were officially cleared for transplant! I have been keeping up with Kale here at his webpage. You can tell God is truly working in and around this little guys life and family. If you care to help Kale out in anyway you can start by stopping by his donations page. Kale we’ll photograph you again in a few months and you can show me how to throw one of those hailmary passes!
Here are a few shots of Kale and his family :
Below is Kale looking for a hawk…. love the concentration =)
Good Luck Kale…. we’re praying for you and your family and we’ll see you guys in a few short months…
Awesome Shoot! :: {senior and fashion photographer}
I love November through March… I purposely take that time off from client sessions to get all geared up for the upcoming year and while doing that I like to schedule fun portfolio builder sessions in between. This past Sunday I had one of those cool sessions! Another photographer and I have been collaborating about getting together and helping each other out in our shooting, lighting and posing… I love shooting around with other photographers if I have the time. Me and Jon Ruby from Jon Ruby Photography had planned this shoot and luckily for us Jon’s model contact had canceled last minute and I was able to get Ms. Megan, a previous senior I shot from earlier this past summer, to fill the role. She knocked this session out of the park just like she did her first one (Megan’s Senior Session). So here are a few shots from this session and I hope to be shooting some future sessions with her ::
Branna & Wade Engaged :: { north georgia wedding photographer }
I was privileged this past Sunday to shoot a great couple for their engagement pictures. Wade and Beanna… I met Wade the day of the shoot… really nice and down to earth guy… and Breanna… I have known of her ever since she was really little…. I went to school with her older brother and sister… watched her sis drain 3′s when I was a freshman in high school and I played a lot… I mean a lot of basketball with her brother while coming thru high school… great family and a good gene pool… whats your secrete Frankie? =). Anyway this was a great shoot… other than being a lil cool… okay a lot cool / very cold we still got a lot of great shots. Here are some shots from the session… sorry for so many but I couldn’t really narrow it down to just a few ::

Baseballs in November :: { athens ga wedding photographer }
Amanda and Kevin… what a great session for a really cool couple! Amanda booked me for their upcoming wedding this February. Well obviously we shot their engagement session this past Sunday. I always like it when my clients have the cool ideas… and all I have to do is set it up and make it happen. That’s pretty much how this session went… Amanda had some really neat ideas and we got some really great shots because of them…. here is a sneak peek from the engagement session ::
Jefferson Dragon Senior :: {senior photographer}
Just when I thought all the fun was over for this 2012 senior season… I have currently booked two more (not too late seniors). Cain’s mom booked me about 3 weeks ago after a little prodding from me at the hair salon. I am always excited to do the senior sessions because I try and make them unique and this one would be no different. This senior fellow, another one from my old stomping ground in Jefferson, has quite the decorated accolades sewn all over his jacket. I thought I had a lot of patches back in 95 but his jacket pretty much put mine to shame. Anyway…. here are a few shots from today’s session ::
Old Friend… New Start at The Carl House :: {atlanta wedding photographer}
An old friend of mine from years past (about 12 to be exact) just recently had a new start with her wonderful wedding on October 21st. Ellwyn got married at The Carl House in Auburn GA. I have had the privileged of shooting there once before and I have several booked there already in 2012… great venue and a great staff. Anyway Ellwyn contacted me sometime ago about shooting her wedding… needless to say I was excited because I had lost touch with her as she moved around the countryside. Living out in TX they were headed back this way to get married and well we booked it and made it happen. This was my last official wedding of the year, as I have one more to go that I am side shooting this month… It’s been a great wedding year and here are some great pictures from Ellwyn’s special day ::
Jessica and Kyle Said I Do! {athens ga wedding photographer}
I have really met and had the opportunity to photography some great couples and great venues. Well Jessica and Kyle, you’ve seen them already in past post with an engagement session and her bridal session… well here they are now doing the real thing, getting hitched! The wedding was held at the beautiful Tucker Plantation. What a great wedding this was… very fun and wonderful shots! There was a lot of tears throughout the day… i’m sorry but I love shooting those moments (so a big thanks to Jessica and Brianna for giving me most of those =). Anyway… here are some great sneak peek shots from the big day ::
Bridal Session at Tucker Plantation :: {athens ga wedding photographer}
I just got in just a few hours ago from shooting this lovely brides actual wedding at Tucker Plantation. We met for this bridal session there about a month ago and it has been killing me to post this one ever since. We got a little late start on shooting, plus it had been threatening rain the whole day and was over cast…. but right as we started shooting the skies opened up and gave some some great shooting conditions. Jessica was great and so where her helpers that day (chop chop =)… Anyway here are a few pictures from that bridal… stay tuned soon for the weddings pictures from earlier today ::
and for Jessica’s lil sister!!
Staghorn Chapel Bridal Session :: {athens ga wedding photographer}
So this is one of the bridals that I could not wait to post… so I actually wrote this exactly a week before the wedding… well the wedding has been over for a matter of hours now and I finally get to post. These pictures are great and I can not wait to get the wedding done to post it as well… This bridal was shot at the beautiful Staghorn Chapel in Nicholson GA. anyway I’ll cut this short and get to the pictures because I’m pretty sure that I’m still tired from shooting this wedding that technically has happened yet as I type this… okay so now I’m really confused, but here goes ::
Too Cute :: {athens ga childrens photographer}
I shoot a limited number of children sessions each year and I have had the privilege of capturing some cute kids, BUT this lil angel from my last shoot is an absolute doll. This little girl was a joy to shoot and she was so funny and explorative (probably not a word but it is to me now..lol). She was checking out all kinds of things but still gave us those great moments in between. She reminds me of a baby doll with her big greene eyes. Check out some of these sneak peeks ::
Long Ball Senior Session :: { commerce ga senior photographer }
Well… the time has come and this session was or is “unofficially” my last booked senior session of the year until maybe another senior books one. Anyway what a great session to go out on. We knocked this one out of the park (no pun intended… you’ll see why later). Colton is a big guy, I swear we never grew ball players like this when I was coming along way back in 95′ =). His mom scheduled the session like 100% of my guy seniors this year, but also like the other 100% of the guys… we got some great shots and used what is becoming my stamp for these parts… some cool creative lighting! With out anymore delay… check out some of Colton’s senior shots ::
25 career home runs for mr. davis…. yeah so that makes my 2 career home runs not so special…lol
Good Ole Hardy Boy :: {athens ga senior photographer}
WOW… guess who hasn’t had a blog post in way too long…. no comment =). Okay… so yeah this is my first post in awhile, BUT in my defense I do have two great bridal sessions to post ( i just can’t till after their weddings ), I have a great wedding from this weekend that will be posted on Tuesday, a few Fortographer’s post are a coming and two senior sessions to post…. one of which starts right now!
Senior 2012 sessions have been a blast and very creative this year. Every single shoot was a great blend of my style and the senior’s personality. This session was no different. Khole is just good ole plain laid back country boy… actually reminds me a lot of myself when I was his age. I have known his family for years. ( Mrs. Kay can cook yall! )… Kay his mom started talking to me about planing his pictures when I was shooting his main squeeze’s pictures earlier this year =)… Mrs. Kay did a great job with coming up with some cool locations and thanks to Mr. Tom for letting us use such a cool prop…. check out some of my favs from the session ::
Parker is One :: { athens ga photographer }
Mr. Parker turned one! We have completed his Crib, Crawl and Walk series… and walk is actually an understatement, this kid can fly! For a 13 month old Parker was FAST! In between Parker’s shots and his Olympic sprints we worked his cute big sister into th esession Ms. Anna Kate. She was a little shy at first but quickly warmed up to the camera and started super modeling it towards the end of the shoot. Here are a few sneak peeks from this past Thursday’s session ::
Year of the Cannon :: { jefferson ga senior photographer}
I’m glad Cannon decided to Joiner in on the creative senior sessions… (okay so the play on words may have been a lil cheesey =). Anyway I was contacted several weeks ago by Cannon’s mom and we scheduled his senior session. The day was about perfect for a shoot, overcast (great for portraits btw), cool temperatures and another senior willing to get some great shots. We started out at my old faithful… I have shot several seniors, engagements and bridals there so every time I go it’s a challenge to make it look new and different… either way we deff got some great shots. Cannon brought a long his guitar for a few shots and played a few chords in between…. Here are a few quick peeks from Cannon’s session last night ::
Ford is 5… Days Old! :: { jefferson ga photographer }
Those that know me and know my work best has probably saw a slight shift in my photography focus… While I enjoy shooting all kinds of sessions I have shifted a lot of my focus to mainly weddings and seniors. I still love shooting the kids and will continue, but the newborns have always been a slight challenge for me… and also if you know me I am always up for a good challenge. Scott and Candice, new parents as of just 5 days ago, and friends of mine… told me some 8 months ago that I would be shooting their new arrival… and while shooting a limited number of newborn sessions each year… when they told me I gladly accepted (Scott is an ex-Marine… so I wasn’t going to tell him no =). Well the day had came and so had little Ford. Such a cute lil boy and so well behaved at just 5 days he was a pleasure to shoot… heck I would even shoot a newbie like him again =). I will be documenting Ford’s first year of life this year as they got my babies first year package… so stay tuned to watch this guy grow… until the next 3 month session here are a few from this one… welcome to the world Ford ::
Quite Frankly :: {north ga senior photographer}
Senior session #8 on the books…. and a fun one at that as usual. I am extremely happy that like my last two sessions, I have broke the ice into a new market (aka high school). Megan is my first Franklin County senior that I have shot… hopefully many more to follow, but I must say I owe it all to Facebook to how I booked her. I guess my tagging and crazy self-promos are working after all. Anyway, back to the shoot… I could tell Megan was no stranger to the camera as the photos showed! Great choice of outfits and a good array of accessories as well for the location choices… Without anymore delay here are a few sneak peeks ::
Titan Country :: {north ga senior photographer}
It won’t be long the Dragons of Jefferson (my hometown team) and the North Oconee Titans will be going at it on the ole grid iron. Well I was at the home of the Titans this past week and it wasn’t for a football game, it was for yet another incredible senior shoot! A past co-worker of mine booked me to shoot her daughter Breanna… they had several locations already picked out and in mind. The session went great despite the heat…. Breanna was a little shy out of the gate but warmed up quickly and the smiles were shining from then on. Here are a few shots from the session… ::
Mansions and Mustangs :: {north ga senior photographer}
Sooooo…. another senior session and more great shots. This girl Bridget is friends with this girl Carly (parking deck GTO… ring a bell) who I a shot just a few weeks ago. Thanks to word of mouth I was able to finally break into the Banks County market (uh oh…. the photography monopoly may be over)… Go Leopards (whats up coach Hanley!!!…. we graduated together by the way everybody)…. Anyway this shoot like the rest was pretty cool. It was taken at a house that probably could put most to shame that has been on MTV Cribs tv show….. this place was absolutely amazing, we actually could have done the whole session there! Anyway after I picked my jaw up off the ground we got started shooting. Also…. Bridgets dad is friends with Carlys dad and he has the kick tail GTO… well Bridgets dad brought out a 1969 Mustang Mach 1…. wow!! Man I have been lucky thus far shooting some pretty cool vehicles with some just as cool seniors… (is cool still cool to say?…. maybe I should substitute the word “sick”… I learned that one last session =)… okay anyway…. here is a sneak peek from the session at the mansion ::
“Sick”… Senior Session :: {north ga senior photographer}
Another great senior session… not only because it has some kick a## pictures, but because I have learned a new meaning for an old word… Sick [sik] adjective: – crazy, cool and insane. This word was used a few times during the session and in a few comments on the post… I kinda like it, I like the idea that my work is “sick” 
…. Anyway, other than learning a new term this session, it was pretty awesome. I love stepping outside of the norm if you know me and this session like the others so far this year was just that. Very cool locations and ideas I must say… Lori (the cool mom) and Andrew came up with them all on their own…. they told me me what and i shot it with my own twist. My favorite was obviously the baseball field and I think that the weight room turned out well too… or “sick”…lol. Anyway check out these “sick” sneak peeks::
Hott and Humid :: {southeast wedding photographer}
I am very excited about this couple…. they booked me awhile back for their wedding up in Asheville NC this October…. this fall… leaves changing…. in a valley between two mountains…. can you tell I am somewhat, okay a lot excited about it. PLUS its a destination wedding for me… (Scott loves destination weddings). They came down on Tuesday to go ahead and do their engagement session. As I remembered details from the venue in Asheville, I thought about the perfect place here that resembles similar to what she was describing… anyway we loaded up and went to a buddy of mines place too shoot and Jessica could not have been more pleased with the grounds. Wait till she see’s these sneak peeks… without and more lip from me, here are a few:
Down on the Farm :: {north ga wedding photographer}
Jessica and Kyle…. a couple of very nice and down earth people…. I mean farmers. I met Jessica last year I believe it was, she had booked me for a normal portrait session of her and Kyle (between us i think it was a test run…lol …. they seem to have liked what they got and the process of getting the shots because I was lucky enough to get booked for their wedding coming up in October at Tucker Plantation… I can’t wait! We shot their “official” engagement session yesterday and boy was it fun. They are farmers off course and love the rustic look of just good ole farm land and…. it made for some great pictures! Their story is pretty cool and Jessica wanted to incorporate a lot of their special moments into this session. I am so looking forward to their wedding as I know we will really get some great pictures… Here are a few from the engagement:
2012 Senior… Wright Here, Wright Now :: {athens ga senior photographer}
Senior session 1 of 2 for this week… and this was a great one. Carly’s mom and I have been planning this session for about 2 weeks and I think we pretty much planned it perfectly. We got some GREAT pictures in some very cool locations. Thanks to Mr. Perry for bringing along his 1960′s Pontiac GTO…. A pretty bad a%# car by the way. I knew from the beginning that these were going to be some awesome shots…. because when they look good on the LCD screen… they are going to be great on the big screen!! Carly was quite the model, she didn’t say much but she was deff working the camera. Oh and for the record… when we shot in the tall grass, she was not afraid of the weeds and the unseen critters running around… really she wasn’t =). So without anymore delay… here we go:
Looking for Strikes :: {jefferson ga senior photographer}
Class of 2012 seniors continue with Mr. Blair… Blair is the brother of BC whom I shot his wedding back in May. We planned this shoot a few weeks ago… and if you know me or my work then you know that I am all about something different… I was reminded that Blair was a pretty incredible bowler (or that’s how he worded it lol)… so you know me I want to get some shots inside the bowling alley. OH YEAH… thanks to Jefferson Lanes for opening up and letting us in for about 30 minutes to shoot. So after the bowling we hit up the football and ended with whats becoming the trademark for SGP Seniors… the car shoot…lol. Here are a few sneak peeks from the session::
