For the past three years, we have been SO lucky to have the wonderful Liz be our studio manager! She came to us as a young college student, ready to take on the world and now she is! As of today, Liz is officially going on her own as a freelance photo editor and I could not be more thrilled for her! Over the years, her primary focus for us here in the studio was to help me edit our work. She's helped me edit everything from weddings to some seriously tricky commercial gigs; however, she has done SO much for us behind-the-scenes. Even though her title was technically 'Studio Manager', she really could also have these titles:
The-Other-Side-of-Eliesa's-Brain
Eliesa's-Hair-Stylist
Designer
Album-Maker
Eliesa's-Schedule-Maker
Behind-The-Scenes-Photo-Taker
Chef
Friend
Magician
Sanity-Keeper
Personal Assistant
Clothe-Dresser
The-Most-Efficient-Person-You-Will-Ever-Meet-In-Your-Life
A comment we would hear over the years from our friends was "I need a Liz in my life." I'm SO incredibly proud to see Liz taking a big leap and pursuing editing on her own! Her talents and work ethic are beyond fantastic and I'm happy that other clients of hers will now be able to 'Have a Liz'.
Have no fear, though! Liz will still be, very much so, a part of our team! Liz will continue to be our editor and will also be managing our album design as well!
Photographers - if you are interested in outsourcing your editing, either for weddings or the commercial side of things, I highly encourage this lady! Make sure to check out her website!
To Liz,
Thank you for all that you have done for both myself, the Photogen Inc. and Rivets and Roses clients and our team as our studio manager! You have given so much and have, very much so, helped shape everything our companies are today! We are all better people for having you in our lives! Thank you for all of your hard work, loyalty and dedication you've given us! We can't wait to see where the future takes you and we are so happy to be a part of it!
LOVEe
For all of you who have met Liz, please take the time to send her some love and encouragement on this awesome adventure she's beginning! Also, make sure to check out her new website!

We have some very big, fun and exciting changes happening around the studio!
One of the major changes we are making is updating the Photogen Inc. Website - and let me tell you, it is going to be AMAZING!
With the new site, we will be integrating much more for our clients and photographers, including:
Vendor Guides & Links
LOVEe Consult info & site
ELEVATE Workshop info & site
Instagram Feed - so you can see all of our shenanigans!
Updated Portfolios
A SUPER fun new blog!
We're totally switching up the look to make it a little more clean as well. I am SO excited about this change and I can not wait to launch! We have made some giant strides in the past couple of weeks, yet we still have lots of work to do. Along with the website change, we are also switching servers at this time, so that means that whenever we are working on our new site, our current sites, online galleries and e-mail will be down.
If you ever see our 'under construction' page, simply know that we are working on things and we appreciate your patience!
Of course, it's never ideal to have my e-mail down, so we are trying to work on this late at night or at low-traffic times. If our site is down and you need to e-mail me, please send mail to: eliesajohnson@gmail.com
You are more than welcome to check out our facebook page and twitter account to stay up-to-date on all of the happenings!
Our goal is to get this all up and running in the next few weeks! I've posted a little sneak peek of the blog, so far! SO many more cool things to come!

Erin and Maleah have style. In Part 1 of their feature, I talked about how there were two things I absolutely love about this couple. The first was that they are best friends and a real-life-dream-team thru and thru. The second thing I love about this couple is their sense of style. If they are throwing a party, no detail goes unnoticed and they believe in creating an experience for their guests! Erin and Maleah's wedding was gorgeous, hands down, enough said. They flew in some of the best vendors around to collaborate and bring together their vision. From the gorgeous, light ceremony to their dramatic reception room, the vendors really worked hard to transform the space and create a magical world for each and every person. Maleah also surprised her new husband with a surprise groom's lounge, complete with top-shelf liquor and Cuban cigars! I felt incredibly honored to be able to document such a lavish occasion; however, I wanted to make sure and equally document all of the honest moments throughout their day as well. At the end of the night, all Jeffrey and I could do was high-five each other, the entire day was a great success!
I want to take a moment to give some credit to the amazing vendors who brought their talent to this wedding:

How do we see the photobooth pics?
(04.17.12 @ 01:18 PM)The first time I met Erin and Maleah, I was photographing their maternity session and I absolutely fell in love with this couple. Fast forward 1 year and we're all together again to celebrate another milestone in life, their wedding! There are two things I love and admire about Erin and Maleah, and since this is post 1-of-2, I will focus on the first.
They are best friends.
For real.
During their ceremony, the couple spoke their vows and nothing was written down. Those words came right from the heart and it was beautiful. I remember Erin saying," Baby, you believe in me when no one else does - when I don't even believe in myself. But there you are."
Right after their ceremony, I had some alone-time with the couple and Maleah said, " You know, Erin doesn't need a 'wife' per-say, but he needs a best friend and that is what I am to him. I have his back and I believe in him."
There's something so special about the way these two view their relationship. They are a team, thru and thru and now they're a family! The love they have for little Lennox, their family and friends is one of the most genuine I have seen.
Their wedding took place at the gorgeous Biltmore in Atlanta, Georgia and it was absolutely stunning! The weather was perfect, our couple was gorgeous and we were surrounded by the best people! Not to mention, my friend Jeffrey of JNP Studios was able to fly in to second shoot with me, so we were having a blast! These photos are from the first half of the day, and there are even more amazing details and photos to come!
LOVEe
