Robinson Family Session | Roswell Mill

Robinson Family

 

I had such an awesome morning with these guys!  Maddox was a little skeptical at first, however within minutes he became a total ham for the camera.  We took a nice morning stroll through Roswell Mill and then headed off for an awesome breakfast.  If all family shoots were like this I would want to do them every day!!

Brad, Cindy, and Maddox you guys are so amazing and I’m so happy we reconnected and made some awesome photos!! Enjoy!

Cheers-

Joe .

Cindy Robinson - Joe, you’ve outdone yourself! These are everything I expected from you and more! Thank you for giving us this moment in time. We will cherish these forever!!

Love,
The Robinsons

ariel m - Joe, these are stunning! Love the image of Maddox looking thru the tree stump/stone, etc. Wow!

Sage - Joe you did a great job at capturing the personality of this special family. I love the Robinson’s!

Sheri - These are SO fantastic!!! I love all of them! You totally captured Mad’s sweet/crazy personality :)

Amelia Benjamin - You had me at Raphael. :) Gorgeous!

Savannah | First-Year Session

Lil’ Savannah

 

 

I’m starting to enjoy these family/baby sessions…wait, should I really be admitting this!?  My big fear has always been that I would get forced into doing “Pinterest” setups, or posed shots that tell you nothing about the wonderful personalities within them;  I’m so happy that my sessions thus-far have allowed me to capture these wonderful little people in their own element and give them something to look back on and say, “Hey, I still do that”!

Savannah’s parents are very dear friends of mine and I’m so thankful they let me come in and enjoy a beautiful fall morning with them and Savvy.  These are just a few of my personal favorites from the day.  Enjoy!!

Cheers-

Joe.

Megan + Logan | Island Cove Marina Wedding | Chattanooga, TN

 

A Day on an Island

 

 

This day was nothing more than epic for me; I hope it shows as this is the largest blog post I’ve done to date.  Lately, I’ve reassessed myself and what wedding photography means to me; I’m here to tell a story and nothing more.  This story is definitely worth telling…

I arrived in Chattanooga on that rainy Saturday morning pondering my escape plan, as I’ve yet to photograph a wedding while drowning in a steady flow of summer rain.  The utter calm and serenity offered by Megan and Logan gave me a profound confidence that the day would be magical regardless of the sky’s decision.  Each and every item detailed in this post was done by the hand of these individuals and their family; keep in mind that many of these details were set up in the rain while hoping the sky would crack a smile and stop shedding its tears.

The day moved on as planned and out of nowhere, the sky did just that; not only did the rain stop, but we were granted one of the most beautiful sunsets we could have imagined.

Megan + Logan, thank you so much for letting me share such an insanely awesome day with you.  I sincerely hope that these images touch you in the way they did me.  Much love.

Cheers-

Joe O.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Megan - OH MY GAH JOE!! These photos are absolutely AMAZING! You captured so many memories for us to hold on to forever! This was the most special day of our lives and we thank you so much for making it possible for us to always look back and not just see the images but to feel the exact way we did in that very moment. These are not just images, they are our emotions, excitement, and happiness that we will have forever!! Thank you so very much!!! :)

Amelia Benjamin - Really, really beautiful, Joe! I particularly love the dress shot from through the window ~ totally caught your perspective there. I really enjoyed this! :)

ariel m - Wow, Joe! As always really great images! I really love the storytelling in the initial images and the couple portraits are stunning! Love your processing!

Jamie C - Joe, your opening touched me as much as the gorgeous photos. I enjoy getting your posts and being able to read a story through your words and see it through your eyes. This shoot made my eyes a little misty :-) Job well done!!

Becca - Breathtaking!!!! I can feel the love, passion and humor of this couple through your photos. Leaves me feeling all warm and fuzzy!! ;-P You paint perfect memories! oxoxox

Baby Ashlyn | An O’Studios Newborn Session

Ashlyn Marie

 

 

Words cannot describe my nervousness when I was asked to do my very first newborn session…I have purposely avoided these for some time now having known what actually has to go into them in order to make something great happen!  Luckily, Bill and Pam were quite awesome in that they made me feel as comfortable as could be and allowed me to be myself.  I couldn’t be happier with these, and I’m proud to say that though this doesn’t look like a typical newborn shoot, it looks exactly like an O’Studios one.  ;-)

Thank you both for letting me spend a relaxing morning with you to capture your new life as you’ll always remember it.  I wish your family the best in the years to come.  Enjoy!

Cheers -

Joe

Jess - Joe, this is truly beautiful. I am wishing we could go back in time and you could do this for me. Because you’re right, it doesn’t look like a typical newborn shoot, it is much more natural. Your shoot gives a glimpse into the most perfect moments of life with a new baby – the ordinary but incredibly intimate moments. I love the shots with the parents in them, or the hand in the crib with the baby. You really captured a season of life for this family, and even the dog! I know my dog was making faces like that too when we brought home our first baby.
I am just in love with all these photos! Great work as usual, and I applaud your courage in branching out.

ariel m. - Absolutely perfect! Who needs a typical newborn shoot when you can just capture life just as it happens! This is awesome!

Bill - Thank you for capturing these moments for us! Id say we cant wait for the 6th month shoot, but we dont want her to grow up too quickly.

Elena Loomis - You did a great job of capturing our little angel and her parents.
