Dylan Blue Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

My name is Abbey, a portrait photographer, based out of Athens, Ga. I specialize in on
location lifestyle photography: maternity, infants, kids, families, and
more!  Welcome to my little home in
cyber space, get comfy and stay a while, leave a comment I love those!  Here I will document my latest
professional sessions, and share my crazy world with my wonderful husband, 2
entertaining kids, and one big blue! 

I hope to document real life moments, let the picture tell
the story, and capture you and your families true personality!  My goal is to capture life as it
happens: the laughter and tears and every moment inbetween!  I look forward to spending time with
you and your family!

For more about me see "about me!" below... and to check out pricing and options see "investment" at the bottom of the page.  Session Info. will give you a few more details about what each session entails.

Another gorgeous girl…  I wish I got to see these beautiful babies more often!  I can not believe she has grown since the last time I saw her!  I love her so much, I love getting to see her personality develop!  Apparently she was not feeling well the day before, but she was amazing on picture day!  I can’t wait to see you guys again… hopefully soon!

Smitten.

When I met this little girl at about 24 hours old I was totally smitten!  I swear every time I see her now she just gets cuter and cuter!  I did not think it was possible but it is happening!  I just love her and her amazing parents!!

Some of my favorite shots are the unexpected ‘favorites’…. probably not the ‘framers’ but the everyday… and I love those!

March 10, 2010 - 6:09 am Jennifer - love that you got her while chowing down- who knew smashed baby food could be so cute?? it was the perfect accesory for her!

“…and you will be prepared for the Master to use you in every good work.”

I was so excited to do some pictures for a new store in Athens, ga.  As a customer myself, I can personally say how fabulous this place is.  My son loves school and school work (he does not get this from me!).  I have a feeling I will be a frequent customer here!  They have everything from teacher supplies, to home school supplies and curriculum, cute lunch boxes, tote bags, backpacks, teacher gifts, the greatest book and workbook selection ever… I could go on and on.  Just go check them out or become a fan on facebook!

Q & A: mommy and me mini makeover and photo shoot!!

I have had a number of questions about mommy & me this year!  We are about 1/2 full, so email if you want to reserve a spot!  Hopefully this will answer questions!

1. I have 3 kids.  Can I bring them all?  ”of course! We are celebrating you!  Mothers Day is what inspired this special event so bring all three and we will celebrate being a mom.  We are mom’s and love bringing out the best of ‘motherhood’.”

2. I am not a mom yet.  Can this be my maternity shoot?  ”Yes!”

3. Where will the shoot be?  ”An amazing location, just outside Athens… off 316 in Bishop Ga. Oconee Co.”

Check it out!

4. I am not a mom.  I just got engaged, can this be an engagement session with my fiance and I?  ”Yes, we do this once a year.  An excuse to get in front of the camera… whatever that may be!  Jennifer is a well known and respected makeup artist who has done many, many weddings.  What an opportunity to have this for your engagement pictures!”

5. I need headshots.  Help!  ”ditto to what I said above.  Here are just a few things JennySue and I have worked on together!”

Mommy & Me!

I am SO excited to be offering this fun and fabulous event again this year!!!

I am teaming up with Jennifer of JennySue Makeup for a mommy & me mini-makeover and photo shoot event!  This is a chance to celebrate being a mommy!  As mothers we are ALWAYS behind the camera (I sure know I am!) this event is all about you!  Come relax and have a mini makeover with Jennifer (beyond amazing makeup artist and an all around amzing gal… head here to check her out!!) and then a photo shoot with me!  It can be you and your children, you and your loved one, just YOU!  I have already had someone call about it being a maternity shoot — wonderful, I love it.  Jennifer and I have teamed up on everything from headshots, to weddings, to magazine spreads, to family photo shoots!  Last year this event was so much fun and a huge success…. we have been looking forward to this year!

Email me to reserve your time!  Last year this sold out quickly!!

March 2, 2010 - 4:00 pm Tara - I am really thinking about this!!

everything.

“we got everything we need right here and everything we need is enough” -jack johnson

Thought I would stick with that song that came on my radio when leaving this house….. it just gave me the chills with how the words rang true!

I have loved spending time with this family so much lately!!  They are all so wonderful.  I have gotten to see an old college friend, met and gotten to know her awesome husband, and this time feel like I got the true sense of her sweet oldest boy… now to meet her youngest sweet boy!  perfect!  What an amazing family!  Here is the newest member at 10 days old!  100% sweetness!

So perfect and so true.  Had to post just 1 (well, 2!)  from this newborn session.  Much more to come!

Just a few pictures of Mr. C!  I am not even going to think about the fact that next month will be the end of his souped-up baby steps plan!!  Crazy to think he is almost 1!!  I sure can’t get enough of his blue eyes!

I’m A Little Airplane

I LOVED meeting this beautiful couple  (who have an amazing love story… they met on a plane!).  I seriously would consider a third child if I was as beautiful as this mom-to-be!  They were so much fun!  I can not wait to meet their baby boy soon!!
