Turner Photography & Design

Welcome

I am passionate about what I do! I serve people by making great images for them, and of them. I love weddings, seeing two people start their lives together, and celebrating with friends and family. I love photographing families, and showing the connections that only families share. I love photographing babies, especially newborns, and seeing them in photographs for their first ever year in this world. I love children, and capturing the wonder in their eyes as they discover new things. I love making super senior portraits, and showing the world these great people called teenagers! I love what I do. Photography is capturing light. It is seeing the light as it plays across your subject, whether that is a person at play, a tree in the forest, or the water at the sea's edge. Photography is recording that moment when the light is just so, and it will never be exactly like that again. it's a split second, or a succession of seconds, when everything comes together to make a great image of a sunset, a flowing stream, or a moment of your child's life that will be gone forever if not caught in the camera. Photography is recording time in snippets that tell a story to those that will come later. Can I tell your story?

Joe Bonamassa @ Center Stage Atlanta

November 3, 2009 – 5:59 pm

My buddy Chris turned me on to Joe Bonamassa last year. He invited Ally and I to go to a concert @ Center Stage Atlanta. I figured free tickets can’t be bad, right? Well, Joe Bonamassa knocked my socks off. He not only is one of the best guitarists in the world, he is a great entertainer. I took some pics with my little Canon G9, posted it to my Facebook, and tagged Joe in it. Well, Rachel Iverson from Joe’s management team saw it, liked it and was interested in using it. I asked if I could get a pass for this year’s show, and bring some real gear. So fast forward to this past Friday night, and here’s what we have…

Model Shoot, Macon GA

October 26, 2009 – 12:40 am

Last week I was in Macon at the OSP South IV event. I was speaking on HS Senior marketing. Joe Dallas gave a great demo about lighting, and arranged a shoot with some models that afternoon. There are some wedding gown images on my other blog, but here are some of the very coolest images from the day. The models were awesome, one did her own makeup (she is also a make up artist), and they all followed direction very well. They were great to work with! The location was a building built in 1939 as an automobile dealership. There were these cool metal doors on pulleys, lots of colored brick, light streaming in through skylights, just a fantastic place.
