Think Pink Photography

BKTPhotography is excited to announce a partnership with Think Pink Photography. Think Pink Photography was founded in October 2007 to support individuals and their families who have been touched by breast cancer. We are a charitable organization that serves two main purposes – celebrating life and supporting the cause.

Through our professional photographer network, we are helping breast cancer patients to celebrate life with charitable photography sessions. Individuals may choose to document their fight against the disease before or during treatment, or prefer to capture their victory by scheduling a session within 12 months after treatment is completed. Photographers world-wide are now available to donate time and talent to celebrate life and support the cause. There is no cost or obligation to the breast cancer patient. Clients participating in a Think Pink Session will receive a complimentary photo session, as well as a set of 10 small prints from the session. They will also receive a discount on any additional portraits they wish to purchase, although there is absolutely no purchase required at any time.

To support the cause, we have partnered with The Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation. All funds generated through donations and various fundraising efforts are paid directly to The Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation. As a 3-time breast cancer survivor, Danielle Beverly and her husband Eric joined together to form a foundation dedicated to promoting education, increasing awareness, and providing support and resources for families who have been touched by breast cancer.

Please subscribe to the blog (on the Think Pink website) and tell your friends and family about Think Pink Photography. Awareness is everything and we can’t be successful without you.

I encourage you to view the website, make a donation, or hire a photographer that supports Think Pink Photography! If you hire me, mention Think Pink and I will make a personal donation to the organization. If you, or someone you know, would like to schedule a Think Pink session, please contact me for details.

I am very proud to be a network photographer with Think Pink Photography, and am anxious to get the word out about this amazing program. For more information, you can contact me, or you can visit the Think Pink Photography website at:

JMA Senior-Justin

Meet Justin, a senior this year at JMA. I had the honor of trailing him and his friends earlier this year as they went to their Junior Prom, and it was such fun to get him in front of my camera again! We visited a few places here in town to capture the essence of Justin, until I was able to figure out that he tends to be the good kid/'trouble maker.' To round out the session, we finished up where many trouble makers end up :-) I had fun during this shoot, and am pleased to say we did not get into too much trouble! Thanks Justin, for such a good session this morning! Enjoy the previews!













A little Folsom Prison-Johnny Cash tribute!

GMC Prep Senior Portraits

I had such a fun time this morning with C and her mom! I cannot say it enough how much I enjoy adventurous clients, especially when they say things like "I want a picture with a cow!" or something like that. What is even more fun is when I can provide that extra personalization to a shoot by actually having that cow to shoot with! I also dabbled in the formal side of senior portraits today, after having a few requests. Now, I have mentioned before how I would much rather make whatever I needed for a session instead of spend 3-4 times as much to buy it--the girl's senior portrait drape is no exception. With some help from my seamstress of a mother-in-law, we created what I think is a pretty darn good drape. Today's session was the perfect time to try it out. I am so excited about this session's photos, and cannot wait for you guys to see them! Enjoy!!







Can you find the hidden message in this next photo? Totally unplanned, but so very true! :-)

Meet Sara...The Mini-Me!

Sara is the daughter of someone I teach with, and a senior at GMC. We soon discovered that she is basically me, reincarnated! She is a hoot, and I always love shooting with someone willing....no, no...asking to take a picture on an old toilet we found! The theme of the day ended up being 'In the Air' with Kallie on the trampoline (see previous post) and Sara asking to jump off a hay bale and "swinging" on a rope swing! I had a blast with Sara and hope you enjoy the preview!

Meet Kallie!

Kallie is a senior this year at EBLA that I met through Jessica (see previous post). They are best friends, and Kallie's mom swear's Kallie's pictures are going to be better than her cousins! I am going to stay impartial and let the viewers decide, but I will say I had a great time on Saturday. I am pretty sure I have mentioned in the past my undying desire to ride a horse?! Well I pulled up at the location Saturday morning and there, right in front of me, was Flash-a handsome horse! He was more interested in the camera than actually posing, but gave us a few good shots! Thank you Kallie-for being a great sport in the awesome old barn (I'm glad we didn't see any snakes) and jumping on the trampoline-I had a great time. Enjoy these previews-and you decide who's pictures you like better...I am partial to both Kallie & Jessica! :-)

Meet the Beautiful Baby Ivey

Meet Ivey, an adorable 2 month old little princess. She is the apple of her mommy's, daddy's, and Nana's eyes! I had the pleasure of capturing her funny little faces this morning while she worked on holding her head up and telling us all that she did NOT want to lay on her back. She is so strong for such a little girl, and I can tell she is going to bring so much joy and happiness to Mommy & Daddy! She was so well behaved during our session, and we were all amazed at how quickly she fell asleep towards the end of our shoot...it seriously took her less than 5 seconds from crying to knocked out! I wanted to get a sneak peak up for the family tonight-I can't wait for them to see all the pictures of their beauty. Enjoy!

Meet The Rishers

A few weeks ago, I was able to witness the wedding of one of my best friends from high school. Aimee and Chris were married at a beautiful outdoor site at Vecoma By the River. Set outside of Stone Mountain Park, the Yellow River flowed behind the scenes during the intimate ceremony. It was a fun wedding and so nice to see old friends again! Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Risher, and welcome to the 'Marrieds Club!' Enjoy the previews!

Lights...Camera...JACOB!!

It seems I have been the go-to for the up-and-coming stars of Milledgeville lately. First it was Taylor-the screamband screamer, then Leighton with his mad guitar skills, then Elizabeth the amazing Ballerina, and now...Jacob, the actor. Jacob has spent the past few years floating on stage! He has been on a few cruise lines as part of the performance crew. While he loves doing that, he is looking to branch out while on land for some different roles. In order to do this, he needs some more updated headshots. I love a new challenge, so in preparation for this session, I did some research (delightlfully aided by Jacob too). Today's actors are moving away from the standard black-and-white headshots, and going for a more vibrant, personal look. As one of the top headshot photographers in New York, Peter Hurley, said-'If you have red hair and your headshot is black and white, how the heck is any casting agent going to know?!'

Jacob & I hit the town in search of some of the more urban locations. As many of you may already know, Milledgeville is not what you would call urban! I must say, however, we found some pretty cool locations-and I really hope the new headshots help get Jacob the leading role in the next big project! Keep your eyes open for his website too. I had a great time Jacob-thanks for letting me be a tiny part of your acting career! Enjoy!!

Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice

I try to stay away from the "typical senior sessions" that many photographers lean towards. Time and time again, you see the same locations, the traditional 'tree' and 'railroad' shots. Why would you want the same pictures as everyone at your high school? Not everyone likes the trees, some people are afraid of trains! What I try to showcase in each of my sessions is the personality in front of the camera. It's fun for me to learn a little bit about everyone I work with, and I enjoy thinking up fun and exciting locations that will represent you.

I had a blast with Elizabeth a few weeks ago while doing her Senior Session. Elizabeth is a little of everything all wrapped up into one nutshell! She can be that sweet ballerina, the rocker chick, the dirty cowgirl, and more. We started off with her horse, who turned up camera shy, and then headed towards town. Instead of leaning up against a tree-she climbed one and chilled out on a deer stand, instead of walking on the railroad tracks-she did a arabesque on them! Needless to say-we got a little bit of everything and I am pretty excited to show off some of the images from this Senior Session! Enjoy!!
