Published!: Virginia-Highland-Morningside Parents' Association

We are so thrilled to be included in the April issue of the Virginia-Highland/Morningside Parents' Association newsletter. Sara contributed an article and lent her expertise about photographing children and families.

Thanks, VHMPA! Hope the article inspired you to make photography of your children a priority in your day-to-day life.

Published! - Professional Photographer Magazine

I am honored to be included in the May issue of Professional Photographer Magazine. I have been reading this magazine for years, folding down page corners and tearing out articles, getting new ideas, and being inspired and re-inspired by other photographers, technical tips and marketing ideas. So to be included is amazing! Being interviewed for this piece was one of the highlights of my professional career and I couldn't be happier to, at the same time, bring some attention back to New Orleans, a place that still needs help 3.5 years after Hurricane Katrina.

Our Cover Article in the Atlanta Jewish Times

Our article in the Atlanta Jewish Times was published today and I am ecstatic to see that it got the front cover!

The images I took, including the one on the front cover, accompany the piece that Nick and I wrote about our experience on a trip to volunteer our time to the people of New Orleans. We left with a much better understanding of the reality there, inspiration from the survivors and community organizers, and an awareness of the great need for volunteer help and donations.

Thanks to the Atlanta Jewish Times for giving this issue the priority it deserves.

Best of Atlanta

Creative Loafing's Best of Atlanta results were announced last week and we won Best Local Visual Arts Blog again! Woohoo! Thanks to everyone who voted!

Drum roll please.....

Welcome to Sara Speert Photography's brand new BLOG! (We are so glad to be joining the new millennia - 6 1/2 years later ain't so bad... ok, it's pathetic. But we did make it and that's what's important, right?)

This will be a great spot for posting news and photographs from our recent weddings and portraits. I hope that you return again and again to fill your curiosity and post your own thoughts.

The most recent great news is that I had one of my favorite images, one I call "Security", printed in Skirt! Magazine (August). Skirt!, as you can imagine, is for women, but I don't think they'd kill you if you're a guy and wanted to read. It's distributed all over the Southeast which makes me so happy. I've really enjoyed photographing weddings in and around Atlanta, North Georgia and Alabama and I'd love to shoot weddings and portraits in Charleston, Savannah, Hilton Head, and especially at the beaches. So, I'm looking forward to feedback from readers.

So, thanks for reading. Check back often and be sure to visit the website.
