Like most things, it started with an idea. I knew of someone I wanted to help. Someone that had impacted my life and many others. As I brainstormed ways to help out, I realized there was a tool at my disposal that involved simply donating my time. Photography. As I shared the idea with my close friend Jessica, she had similar sentiments. We wanted to help and we felt others would too.

So began the planning of The Shoot. Seven Atlanta area photographers offering their time and talent, a close group of friends rallying together, and several other volunteers to help make it happen.

Thank you to the photographers, friends, volunteers, and families who were a part of  The Shoot and helped make it a success!

Here are a few images from behind the scenes of the day:

The glamourous photoshoots…complete with trash can.

Jazz hands!

I tried to be like Will and have a cool hat.

Getting ready for pictures. The photographers (that were still there).

The team that put The Shoot together, volunteered their time and helped make it happen.

The following sequence of images had me laughing for about a minute straight…
