Last month I got a chance to head down to Atlanta and see good friends and meet their ten month old baby boy, Marshall. Corey, a college friend and practical neighbor from NJ, married the wonderful southern belle, Kortny, and after spending some years in NYC, they’ve retreated down to the slower-paced Georgia. They live in a great old building with one of my favorite porches ever! Southern architecture with large columns, exposed brick, hardwood floors, and large white covered porches with ceiling fans and plenty of plant-life. The 95 degree June days couldn’t have been a bother sitting out on such a porch on a relaxing Sunday afternoon with book in hand. I need a porch, stat.

But anyway! Onto the people and pictures . . . On Sunday we took an hour in the late afternoon and braved the outdoors for some family portraits on this first Father’s Day for Corey. Then headed inside and shot a few more in Marshall’s room. The family was great, Marshall was a ham (some personality he’s got!), and with very limited gear (one camera, one fixed lens, and one meager pop-up flash), I think we got some nice shots!

And with all the ‘serious’ photos down, I can’t help but post this one. I call it “When the Braves Beat the Mets”. (If you’re not much of a baseball follower, the NY Mets and Atlanta Braves are long-time rivals. Corey’s a Mets fan, transplanted to Atlanta, where Kortny’s a Braves girl.)

; )

Corey, Kortny, and Marshall, so nice seeing y’all and thank you for a great visit!!
