First, let me introduce myself. My name is Alex Aleman. I graduated from Covenant Christian School in Loganville Georgia. In the fall of 2000 I made a move to Chillicothe, Ohio where I lived for a short time. I moved back home in December and 11 days later I met the girl of my dreams, Carrie. We were married in 2003 and now live in Atlanta, Georgia with our two beautiful girls.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for visiting my site. I am confident that you will find the examples of my work inspiring and that you will have your next photo session with me.
I have always been intrigued by photography, even as a child. I started my photography company in Atlanta Georgia and never looked back. I love to capture life's greatest moments in a unique and awe inspiring way.
"Capturing Life Perfectly" is my motto, and it is what I strive to deliver to my client's every time. When it comes to that special event or family portrait you can not afford to take chances with those memories. I am dedicated to delivering the best photo experience for you and your loved ones, so that you can cherish those pictures forever. I use natural light to capture your special moments. I also use professional labs and quality photographic equipment. All this combined, I can "capture life perfectly" every time.
Here are some ideas of the diffrent types of sessions that I offer...
Family Portraits
Maternity
Hospital (pictures before you leave the hospital, after delivery)
Infant (done within 10 days of birth, no later then 4 weeks)
Children
Sweet Sixteen
Prom
Graduation/Senior
Publicity
Engagement
Bridal (including "Trash the Dress")
Weddings
Birthday Party
Bar Mitzvah
Bat MItzvah
Business Functions
Events and Parties
My experiences also include event shoots for Chick Fil A, Wednesdays Child and Joy Boone, host of "Joy in the House", internet personality.
So whatever the case, I am committed to providing you with professionalism and photos to last you and your family a lifetime. I want to make you a life long customer, not a one time customer. That is why I know you will be so pleased with your photos and will come back time and time again, and not to mention, you will have the confidence to refer me to your friends and family.
So, enjoy your time viewing the photos and information on the site and I look forward to hearing from you to set up your session.
Sincerely,
Alex

Lighting.
I generally use natural light during your photo shoot. It gives the best photo details and warmth that my client's look for. Occasionally, I do have to supplement with additional lighting sources in a low, natural light, situation.
Weather.
If you get up the morning of your session and mother nature is not playing nice, we will reschedule your session for the next available day.

What to bring to your maternity session
Here is a small list of things that you should consider bringing to your session.
Black Cami/Tank
Strapless bra
Jeans without panel (even your old jeans that don't zip anymore as long as they 'go up!'
White top (fitted)
Dress that fits your style.
Remember, we are photographing your little bun in the oven and we need to see it, so the more fitted the clothing the better. Before your photo shoot we will have a phone planning session and we can discuss any issues you might have.
What to bring to the infant session
OK, this is very simple. As little clothes or no clothes is perfect. If you are going to put on diapers, Pampers have very little color. If you do want your little bun-dle in something make sure it fits. Nothing looks worse than a baby with its clothes hanging off its little body. And remember, if you are planning to do a wardrobe change, it sometimes makes for an unhappy baby to be changed too many times. And remember, be relaxed and have fun. There will be plenty of time in the shoot for feedings and such, so no worries. Also, Heirlooms and special hand made blankets are a great touch.
*An email with detailed information will be sent prior to your session.

Ahhw, The Wedding Page
Let me just say one thing... "youre getting married, CONGRATULATIONS!!!" I pray that God will bless you; your spouse and your home from now till you are both old and gray and still holding hands. Its at that time that you will enjoy looking back on these photos of your wedding, and remember that day like it was yesterday. Here is something to think about. The dress will fade, the flowers will wither, the cake will be gone in a no time, but the photographs will take you back to that night forever.
Now what can you expect on your wedding day. I take a photojournalistic approach to that day as apposed to a bunch of staged pictures. Dont misunderstand, youll get the family and wedding party photos as well. I have found, however, most brides love the look of the spontaneous, fun and realistic photos. All the laughing and having fun photos really capture that moment perfectly, which is what that day is all about.
There will also be time on the wedding day where I will get together with the bride and groom for about 20-30 min and take those BREATH TAKING photos that you will want to hang in your home for everyone to see. These works of art are what I call the fashion plate photos. Not all of the photos from your wedding day will have this magazine look, but this special group of pictures, and any from the spontaneous style that I feel make the cut, will be handled with special care when I am editing. The whole point is to make them look as amazing as that day.
