When Ashley asked me if I could do a special session with her to honor her 30th birthday I couldn’t say yes, yes, yes fast enough! My own flirty 30 session is near and dear to my heart so I was ecstatic to be able to help celebrate her birthday with her.
When we began discussing this fun session it was right before Covid hit. After over 2 months of quarantining, social distancing and 2 kids relying on me for homeschooling it felt like her session was on my calendar for forever! But when school officially ended and our community started opening up it was go time baby!
We started tossing around location options but nothing was fitting, nothing was jumping out at us. I knew it needed to be the perfect place. Then Ashley suggested what ended up being one of the most memorable and unique venues. Wait for it… wait for it ….Oakland Cemetery! Yes, you read that right. We shot at a CEMETERY and it was beautiful! I had of course done a quick google search and I knew it was perfect after seeing the grounds and learning all about the different types of special events they host, their community involvement as well as the cemetery’s history which makes this place a very special landmark. You guys…if you are local to Atlanta you have to go if you haven’t already checked it out. It really is one of the most beautiful places I’ve photographed thus far. See for yourself! Oh… and can we just address how show stopping the gorgeous Mrs. Ashley is?!!?
