going home to roost!

By Kate Altmix | Extras, Personal | 3 Comments

something new has bloomed in the blog world and i am super excited to share the news with you! if you’re a twitter or facebook friend of ours you may have already heard us mention this lovely news but we still decided to give it a post. we’re that pumped!

last may (2008) we officially shot our first string of weddings as altmix photography. those brides that trusted us early on hold a very special place in our hearts and we still keep up with many of them even today! one such couple is bonnie & david. remember them? the wedding with herb and twig and feather bouquets? and a stunning handmade wedding dress and veil? yes, that was bonnie & david:

when we first met them we realized we had a lot in common and we’ve been excited to watch them get married and start their own business(s!)- we’re always so impressed by their creativity and ingenuity! for a long time now bonnie has played with the idea of starting a blog about their life- they are so interesting and full of ideas and ready to jump into anything- perfect blog material in my opinion! so i am ecstatic to share with you that she’s begun! and with all things bonnie does- she’s doing it RIGHT.

from bonnie: going home to roost is dedicated to a simpler way of life and focuses on handmade style and design. it features talented artisans, designers & eco indieprenuers. it also includes handmade how-to’s, recipes and whole-living tips to boot. its purpose is to provide daily inspiration and to allow its readers to feed their creative minds!

so check her out! you will NOT be disappointed, promise! leave her a sweet comment and be sure to check out her two etsy sites! i leave you with the eggs she sent home with us last time we visited her- their little backyard chicken coop is quite idyllic and it produces wonderfully creamy, organic eggs that are almost too pretty to eat…almost! :)

the yorks!

matt’s freshman year at georgia he lived with a few older, wiser, more responsible guys from his hometown- needless to say i think he was their entertainment! it seems from the stories i’ve heard it was an awesome living situation and a lot of fun was had by all.

as they all graduated, matt moved on to his sophomore year of college. while he played guitar & perfected his gainer, his old roommates were marrying their sweethearts & starting families. when matt and i got engaged we spent some time with them and learned what an amazing marriage looked like for young couples who loved life as much as we do. although we don’t see them as often as we’d like, they’ve had a great impact on matt personally as well as on our marriage and we are so grateful for their example!

that being said, we were able to catch up with one of those families just the other day for a day shoot with their adorable little ashton! wes & blakely are the best parents ever and really have fun with ashton- who is quite the curious little man! curious about the cool grass, the big cameras in his face, the skinny guy with crazy black hair who kept making strange faces at him and jumping around… matt loves kids, haha, but really, anything that was going on around ashton caught his attention and wonder. he was the perfect little model! we had a great time exploring the part of the emory campus where blakely works- we had no idea how beautiful it was back there! we’ll be returning for sure. great call guys!

first up, my favorite image from this shoot, taken right at the beginning- ashton is learning to trust us here and i love his slightly doubtful expression! matt won him over shortly after this with a crazy dance/jump move similar to this.

i love this mother.son shot- especially since you can see his newest pride and joy, one little tooth! :)

ashton loves rolling.all.over. and it was quite a job to capture him upright!

he is so loved- what a picture perfect family!

the star:

wes & b, thank you guys so much for allowing us to photograph your family! we had a great time catching up with you and we were so excited to see how much ashton has grown, he’s such a little man now! we hope to see you guys again soon!
