ALL IN THE FAMILY

I wanted to share some photos taken by my incredibly talented brother, Jeremy Harwell, of his brand-new studio.  You may have seen his creative space featured yesterday on Decor8. He's a creative dynamo and a great guy in general. I just feel blessed to have him as my brother!

You can check out Jeremy's site that includes a portfolio and links to his blog here! 

Have a great weekend!

ANNECHOVIE IN ATLANTA WEDDINGS

I was very happy and honored to have one of my custom commissions featured in Atlanta Weddings Spring/Summer issue, on newstands March 1st. This particular painting I did is of Druid Hills United Methodist Church. 

My uber-talented photographer brother, Jeremy Harwell, shot the painting and the main bridal fashion feature.

The gorgeous flowers are by Amy Osaba

CHARLESTON WEDDING

I hope that you had a good weekend! I cannot believe it's already the middle of January.

I finished my taxes (hurray! and phew!) and caught a few cheering rays in the sun as well. 

I couldn't resist sharing a few photos taken by my very talented brother, Jeremy Harwell, of a beautiful wedding at Middleton Plantation in Charleston, SC.  Jeremy has an eye for capturing all of the gorgeous details and piecing them together in his own trademark photo journalistic style.  This wedding was published in Southern Living Weddings and you can view more of it on his blog here.

HARWELL PHOTOGRAPHY

I just wanted to share a few recent shots from my brother's extensive portfolio. He has won numerous awards and specializes in weddings, fashion and lifestyle photography. He is based in Atlanta and has a studio there, but frequently travels on location. These photographs were all taken in and around Rosemary Beach, FL and you can spot my youngest nephew above munching on a donut! Check out Jeremy's website here. 

Wishing all of my US friends a great Labor Day Holiday Weekend and 

all of the rest a wonderful weekend as well!

LET THEM EAT CAKE

I want to wish you all a wonderful weekend. I thought I'd end the week on a sweet note with a photo by my brother, Jeremy. Love that cake! See more of his work here.

ALYS BEACH REVISITED

These stunning new photos are of Alys Beach, a stunning jewel of a community located on Florida's Emerald Coast.

My brother, Jeremy Harwell, took all these photos as part of a project he was working on for Alys Beach. He is an award-winning photographer, based in Atlanta. He specializes in weddings, portraiture and lifestyle photography. If you are in need of exceptional photography, he's your man!

I love the rooflines. This place is completely unique.

Last, but not least, a photo of my adorable and only niece and two darling nephews (left) and my niece and some friends (right). To see more photos in this project, check out my brother's blog or get in contact with him via his website.

MY NIECE'S 7TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

My niece, Katherine, turned 7 recently and my photographer brother captured the "clown" party that his creative genius wife put together.

My sister-in-law, Karrie, put together a delicious and kid-friendly spread that was as much a feast for the eyes as for the stomach.

I love all the bright colors! Great way to welcome a long-awaited Spring in Atlanta.

What kid doesn't love sprinkles and gum balls?

Jeremy is an award-winning photographer and former Ralph Lauren design director for the NY stores. He now has a photography studio in Atlanta and I am trying to talk him into showing us what he and his wife have recently done with their farmhouse in the country. They are one talented couple! Hopefully I will be able to twist their arm enough to send me some photos for a future house tour post.

Where were you born? Urban Decay - otherwise known as Detroit, MI.

Have you always been creative? When did you you first "catch" the creative bug or realize you loved pursuing artistic interests? I think I have always been creative, I remember making my first slide of a reflection of some fall leaves in a pool of water. It was the 3rd grade with my teachers camera and ever since I have been hooked.

What inspires you most and gets your creative juices flowing? Looking at all forms of art inspires me. Painting, sculpture, photography, a cloud in the sky, my little girls freckles. Being around other artists really also is inspiring. I love to learn!

Family status? I am married with 3 lovely ninos!

What is the most challenging aspect of being a photographer? The most challenging aspect is to constantly stay fresh and new - one can never rest on their laurels. You may have done it yesterday, but you you have to create today in the here and now.

What do you wear when you are at work? Something that is not red ( to prevent the attraction of anything with horns!)

Jeremy is a gifted photographer and stylist who spent several years working in creative management for Polo Ralph Lauren in Atlanta, Palm Beach and New York. Several years ago, he and his wife, Karrie, packed up their family and moved back to the Atlanta area where they built a charming farmhouse and re-habbed a historic bank building for a studio. Jeremy is great with children and adults (he is known for his dry sense of humor and patience) and he has a charming studio located in downtown historic Senoia, Georgia. He also works on location. You can check out his website here.

Tomorrow night marks the opening of Art Senoia in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. I encourage anyone who lives in the area to come out for the opening reception, complete with REFRESHMENTS! If you know someone who lives in the area, please spread the word or pass on this link.

A great way to kick off Spring and celebrate the arts. Set against the rustic brick walls of a century-old building, "Art Senoia" will debut April 25th with an opening reception from 6:30 to 9:30 at 20 Main Street in Historic Downtown Senoia. This is the first event of the newly formed Cultural Arts Committee of the Senoia Downtown Development Authority. "Art Senoia" will feature a range of beautiful paintings along with fine photography and art quilts. The art is for sale, and a portion of the proceeds goes to support the Cultural Arts Committee. Local shops and restaurants will also be open the evening of the reception.

Local painters taking part in the show are David Boyd Jr., Victor Dallas, Anne Harwell, Martin Pate, Jane Whitehurst, Joy Whitley and Yun Liu. Photographers showing their artwork are Paul Conlan and Jeremy Harwell. Found metal sculpture by Zack and David Moye and fiber art and quilts by Claudia Wood are also included in the exhibit.
After the April 25th reception, the exhibit will be open Saturdays 11:00 to 5:00 and Sundays 1:00 to 5:00 through Memorial Day, May 26th. It can also be viewed during the week by students and other groups by appointment. The reception and art show are free and open to the public.
Art Senoia is sponsored by the Senoia Downtown Development Authority and The City of Senoia.
