Dake Family Photos 2017

It's hard when you are the photographer. You take everyone's photos and you find you don't have any professional photos of you and your family.

A few months ago I thought I would schedule new family photos. It's been about 5 years ago and it was time. Thank you to Hannah for capturing our family! You are amazing. I couldn't be happier!

#ATLUTD Unite & Conquer

Last night we went with a few friends to the Atlanta United MLS Soccer match at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The stadium is gorgeous and offers an amazing fan experience. 

Unfortunately, the boys in red and gold lost but we have already qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs in their inaugural season! So exciting! Next year we will have to go to more games!

Going to DWTS Live Tour seems to be a yearly event that my mom and I do. We have seen Dancing With the Stars on tour twice and Maks and Val Tour last spring. We watch on TV during the season and it is a fun event to see them live. It is a beautiful evening spent with my mom. I love her, btw!

This year it was at the Fox Theatre instead of Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. We sat near the front of the first balcony so this year I brought my professional camera instead of relying on my iPhone. I was really pleased at how this photos came out. 

To see all the photos I took go to

So we were gearing up for a big snow storm to hit the Atlanta area. The offfice closed early, I picked up Luger from camp and before I got home it started to rain. It stayed rain up until the temps went below freezing. When Luger and I got up this morning, I was half expecting inches of snow but there wasn't any just a layer of ice.

Last night my mom and I went to Dancing With The Stars Live Tour. It was awesome as always. This year it was at The Fox Theatre. In past years it was at a different venue. My mother had never been to the Fox so I was excited for her to see it. The building has so much character. When you are in the theatre it looks like you are outside under the stars and sky in Moracco.

The company, the venue and the show was a great way to spend the last day of 2016.

Here's to 2017!
