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…
No Rain Today :: { atlanta ga wedding photographer }
I got the privileged of shooting with AGW Photography this weekend in Atlanta. As always I love to side shoot and try to any chance I can when I have weekends off from my own booked weddings! This wedding actually extended my streak… my “rain free” streak… 56 weddings shot and not a rain out yet…. I should really use this as a selling feature…LOL. I really like the Atlanta venues as they add a slightly bit different look than most venues around my area. I met Courtney and Ben obviously the day of the wedding…. and what a really great couple and a good looking couple at that =). Here are just a few images from the big day as a side shooter… enjoy! :
Amanda and Kevin’s Big Day :: {north ga wedding photographer}
Meet the Chandlers…. the whole week was rainy leading in to February 4th. Even on the 4th, the day of the wedding, there was a 60% chance of rain. Fun Fact brides… out of 55 weddings… Scott Greene Photography has never had one to be rained out… had some close calls BUT no rain! This day (i thought my streak was going to end) proved no different… the rain stayed away and the sun even broke thru the clouds a few times! Not sure if you remember Amanda and Kevin, but they had the very cool Athens engagement session. This wedding was a true testimony of how powerful and emotional a First Look can be…. I was going to post a few pictures from it, but it was sooo special and sooo emotional that I am going to keep those for just Kevin and Amanda…. Without further delay here are a few sneak peeks from the Big Day…
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 ::
2012 Underway :: {atlanta ga wedding photographer}
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a good New Year’s! It’s been awhile since I had a post ( i know i know… i’m a slacker =)….! Soooo my 2012 is off to a great start already…. I have already booked more weddings than I have in previous years and my side shooting gigs are plentiful as well… This wedding hear was the first one of the year to get the ice broken on 2012. I was a side shooter on this one with NRP Photography. It was a Catholic wedding which I always find interesting to shoot as we don’t see many of those here in the sticks…lol. The reception was at a really cool location “103 West“. After the wedding we toured around the block and shot a few city scene pictures…. here are a few from the day ::
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 ::
Trashing the Dress… OH YEAH! :: {marietta ga wedding photographer}
What a great way to end a GREAT 2011 wedding season! This Trash the Dress Session was actually purchased in Andi’s initial wedding package (thats right… she aint skeered!). Andi and Thomas were one of my favorite weddings from this past year… remember this one (click here). These sessions are always fun and creative… plus Andi had been studying up on how work this session. Andi is a fun bubbly gal with a very contagious smile… well this session her evil twin came out and threw on us some attitude… it was a good juxtapose to the normal Andi =). So with out any further delay… check out some shots from the session ::
Need for Speed :: {north ga senior photographer}
Another senior shot earlier today… this was a good one too! Meet Rhett… an East Jackson Senior… his mom contacted me a few weeks ago about getting some last minute senior pictures done… well I love to shoot seniors because of the creative level that I try to take each shot too… well this session was no different and I was actually pretty excited to get the chance to shoot this one because it was going to involve a mean, fast and loud dirt bike… so I grabbed my gear and my speed light and off I went… here are a few shots from the session. PS- Rhett’s first ever race is next month in December (good luck!) ::
Perry’s Landing Wedding :: {augusta, ga wedding photographer}
When I’m not shooting my own weddings… I LOVE to side shoot with other photographers, especially destination weddings. I was contracted by AGW Photography to side shoot this one! This wedding was great on several layers… it was my last of this year 2011, it was a destination wedding in Augusta GA at Perry’s Landing, and they were such a cool couple shoot. I’m glad I was asked to help out with this wedding… it was a blast! Anyway here are a few shots from that day… yay 2011! ::
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 ::
Fall :: {north ga fine art photographer}
Well… other than a few little family shoots and a couple of engagements in the next few weeks… my 2011 has officially wound down (by choice that is). I like to take the months of Nov thru Feb and shoot for me. That could be a creative trash the dress session or a collaborative editorial styled shoot, but just things that I like to do. I alos take this time to teach and mentor to some up and coming fellow photogs and I am ALWAYS on the look out for work-shops and seminars of any kind… so if you know of any around within a 100 miles of Jefferson GA… let me know =). My main goal is to deffinently start shooting more fine art styled shoots… I love just shooting what I see abstractly… that is what got me into photography to begin with and that is what helps to keep me in it… shooting for myself from time to time… anyway here is a quick 15 minute front yard session I had with my tree… enjoy and look for more ::
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 ::
Asheville Wedding Is Number 50! :: {asheville nc wedding photographer}
I love me some destination weddings… especially wonderful places like Asheville NC. This wedding was exciting to me in more than one way… 10 it was wedding number 50 for me and it was a destination wedding. Jessica… whom I posted her bridal session about a week ago was married last sunday at The Fields at Blackberry Cove. A very unique place tucked away in a valley of surrounding mountains. The leaves were just beginning to turn which added a nice glow to the scenery and background. Jessica and Mike are a great couple and I thank them for bringing me all the way to Asheville to document their most important day. Here are some sneak peek pictures from that day… enjoy::
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
Fall Wedding at the Higdon House :: {greensboro wedding photographer}
Ah finally another wedding blog post… This fall is going to be really busy for me with weddings. 5 weddings in the next 8 weeks… so stay tuned to check out some great pictures. This wedding was pretty cool in a few ways… one was that I was at the Higdon House in Greensboro, GA yet again this year (number 3 here this year I believe). The second is…. this was a Friday wedding and I originally had a wedding booked for the next day… so when Mandi contacted me about shooting it, in order not to over book myself and my clients I sent her info on some great photographers that I work closely with from time to time and just so happened she booked Neal Reeves Photography… so win win right…. long story short, that Saturday wedding of mine got rescheduled and NRP hired me out to shoot with him at Mandi’s wedding… so now its a win, win and win for all of us… =). Anyway here are a few of my sneak peeks from Mandi and Brandon’s big day – for the official pictures check out Neal Reeves Photography ::
Future brides… take notice of the excitement of this “First Look”… you can’t get this during ceremony! =)
Luckily Rosa (the Higdon House -house photographer? ), actually helped me here… I caught her flash in the background.
white boy can dance!
photographer can’t!… (neal reeves attempt at the Cupid Shuffle 
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 ::
