In July we met at the Residence Inn in Midtown, where they set a spread of chicken, beef, shrimp, fruits, desserts and these yummy vegetables.

Our vice-president, Sandy Mollett, First Data, and President, Dan Dunlop, Dunlop Productions welcomed the crowd.

And members had fun sharing with each other, as always.

I was embarrassed when my plain grey Eccos paled in comparison to the cool shoes.

I made sure that new members from VMware's Sandy Springs office met all the movers and shakers.

Here's the whole VMware crew hobnobbing with our new president, Dan Dunlop.

And, of course, cute guys posed for my camera all evening. Here are a couple of my favorites.

I'm an Atlanta wedding photographer who takes soulful, quirky and honest photos ...

I'm also an adventurous traveler and all-round nerd. I love to hike with my beagle/cattle dog Roux and best friend/spouse.

I was born in Atlanta, moved around a lot--30 cities and 5 states--and then came back.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta, I took a job at asmall newspaper in south Georgia, where I photographedhospital teas, pecan farmers, and beauty queens.

I photographed a biker funeral, death penalty protests andTed Bundy while interning with the Associated Press.

While a photographer for two dailies in Florida, I photographed Ronald Reagan, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

An unexpected life turn took me to Vermont where I fell in love with Bernie Sanders and on to Indiana, where I edited photos for a major daily, and nerded out getting a master’s and PhD.

After teaching photojournalism at colleges and universities in Florida, Indiana and Mississippi, I returned to Atlanta to earn myfifth degree--a Master's of Divinity.

My passion for storytelling with my camera and my interest in religious diversity led my to the field of wedding photojournalism.

I have documented weddings large and small, Unitarian and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by aMayan shaman.

When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, visit friends in amemory-care home, and volunteer at a recovery center.
