Ruby Marx - 2023

January 29, 2023

Happy New Year everyone! Yes, I know, its almost the end of January already, but just bear with me here. I’ve been busy with work stuff and I’ve had to push back a couple of shoots because of travel and illnesses, but trust me there is already some exciting things in the pipeline.

This shoot mostly came about because I wanted to try out a new backdrop. This is my first experience shooting with a backdrop from Gravity Backdrops. As much as I like the images we took in color, the unique texture really came out when we went black and white.

What more can I say about Ruby that I haven’t said many times before? Every time we end up working together I know that we are going to create something special. Ruby is my go-to for the best “vintage Hollywood” looks and she does it so well. Something about the combination of style, technique, and color timing really made this shoot look like something out of an old magazine…and I’m not mad at that at all.

Stay tuned for what 2023 has in store, but for now…Ruby Marx

Ruby Marx - 2019.

April 16, 2019

Ruby Marx is a fresh face in the Atlanta Burlesque community who was referred to me by Charles of CBPhotos

(Side note, let’s pause for a minute and take a second to give a much needed shout out to Charles himself. If you have attended any of the many wonderful burlesque events here in Atlanta you probably are familiar with this man and his talent for winning raffles. His live work is wonderful, and he sure knows how to make the best at a large assortment of various lighting).

But, back to Ruby. She invited me into her home and we set to giving her the best photo experience possible. Afterwards we had a lovely chat, and I can’t wait to come up with something new for us to shoot together.

Erin and Preston - 2018

November 11, 2018

Erin and Preston are probably some of the greatest friendships I have formed in the last few years. Both are wonderful people and very talented performers. Readers who have been around a while will definitely recognize their faces as they have appeared many times on this blog.

Last year when I found out that after many years of dating that Preston was going to pop the question, I was ecstatic to hear it and knew that I had to be a part of everything.

Although the location was a lighting challenge, I still consider this one of the most fun weddings I have ever been a part of both as an attendee and as a photographer. I wish them many long years together, and can’t wait to pet their 13 cat children as they join the family.
