Au revoir Blogger! Welcome fotosbyfola.com!

May 29, 2009 was the first time I posted on blogger. This was the first of many things on my new venture. I had no idea of what to expect or what the future had in store for me. I laid it all on the line and went for it. I have to say it has been a very fulfilling year. I did my first e-session, first wedding, first maternity session and the list goes on. I know there are much more great things to come. I thank God for all i've accomplished and for just giving me direction. I also thank God for every single person that came on this blog and supported a newbie starting out in the competitive world of photography. With your support, advice, and encouragement I’ve become better and have gained new friends in the process. I especially thank my wife for her love, support, and encouragement during this period. As you can imagine she was the first person i would complain or vent to about something..lol. Love you for that :)
I am excited to announce the launching of my own website and blog! www.fotosbyfola.com and www.fotosbyfola.com/blog
While I will miss blogger since it was my first home, i am definitely very happy and excited to finally have my own site. I hope to continue to see you at my new home! Once again THANK YOU ALL!!! Bye Blogger!!

Brooke Maternity Session

A couple of weeks ago i did a maternity session for Brooke and her husband Stephen. Brooke was a great sport. I was really amazed with the amount of walking she was able to do at the park knowing she is due in a few weeks. We had a very relaxed and fun session. Congrats in advance guys on the new addition to your family! Check out a few shots from the session.

Lance & Crissy - Engaged

I met Crissy through a mutual friend so "technically" I consider Crissy my friend also :). Crissy contacted me a few months ago about her wedding and wanted me to be her photographer. I was very excited about the opportunity and happy to be part of her special day. Crissy is a gentle, kind and fun person and Lance is such a great husband to be. When i met up with both of them i noticed how great a match they were because their personalities complimented each other so well. The shoot took place at STATS Atlanta (their fav hangout spot) and at Centennial Olympic Park. We had an awesome and fun time. Congrats guys and looking forward to your wedding. Below is a short story of how the couple met and off course a few shots from the session. Enjoy!

Lance and Crissy went to Georgia Southern University and attended the same graduation ceremony, but they didn't actually meet until they both moved to Atlanta. They remember seeing eachother in the GSU athletic center though - Lance attended a weightlifting class next to a volleyball class that Crissy taught. "She always wore blue Adidas shorts." ... "He was always reading or studying before class." A mutual friend brought Lance to Crissy's birthday celebration about two years ago and it was then that they became friends. They quickly began seeing more and more of eachother and soon became "official." Today, Lance and Crissy can't imagine their lives without one another and feel truly blessed in life and love. Their big day is in July and they can't wait to say "I do!"

Mayowa & Lekan Cali Wedding Reception

Mayowa and Lekan got married in Nigeria this past December and as you would expect not everyone could make it. However, Mayowa and Lekan were so nice and considerate that they decided bring the party back back to cali cali lol.. Since all the formals had been taken care of this was a night of pure fun and partying. I had a blast even as i was taking pictures. There is just something about capturing people having a good time that just makes my day. Congrats again Mayowa & Lekan! May the lord grant you a long lasting & love filled marriage. Check out a few shots from the day!
