When I was a little girl, I began a love affair with New York City. I’d see it in movies, on television, heard songs about it, everything I saw and heard made me think this was a magical place but I had never gotten to see it for myself. That all changed…

This is the second of two posts where I regretfully have to say goodbye to an amazing guy, Mike Smith. We had one last sendoff at a restaurant called Ammazza here in Atlanta, where we got to hear him spin one more time. There aren’t enough words to…

I’ve fallen behind again, but this time I have a good reason! The last week, I’ve been celebrating my birthday! But I’m back and have a lot to post over the next few days! I am obsessed with tattoos! Since I was a teenager, I’ve loved everything about…

This will be part 1 of this segment because saying goodbye to Mike is going to take two posts! This is Mike Smith. He’s an amazing man, an awesome DJ and someone I’m more than honored to call my friend. He has become my hero and role model of who I…

Tonight I attended an event at Park Tavern so I decided to revisit taking the night time shot of the city I love, Atlanta. I’m still not completely crazy about this shot, however, I do think there is improvement. This challenge has taught me that not all…

When I was a little girl, I was terrified of thunder storms. I would hide in the bathroom until they would go away. Now, as an adult, I love them! There’s nothing more soothing when the rain starts than opening my window, throwing on a little Ella…

I was your stereotypical little girl growing up. I played with dolls and Barbie’s, I loved wearing dresses and trying on makeup (although I was a huge tomboy which led to said dresses usually coming home muddy!) and I loved animals, especially horses! My…

This may seem kind of shallow, but if anyone ever asked me what three things I would save if my house was on fire, it would be my son, my dog and my shoes! I don’t know what it is about them, but I just love shoes! I love browsing through shoe stores,…

I promised myself I would get out every day and shoot until I got the shot of the city I loved. I shot Friday night, Saturday night and during the day today and finally got it! But most importantly, I shot every single day! When I was 12, my Dad was…

I actually typed this out last night but forgot to hit Publish!! Today’s topic is Landscape but the only thing I really wanted to shoot when I saw this was the Atlanta skyline. I got out my camera, drove around town at night and shot a few things. What I…

Day 24 ~ Guilty Pleasures

I’ve struggled a little bit during the course of this challenge coming up with inspiration. I’ve kind of wandered around aimlessly trying to come up with something to shoot. I came acro...

What Michelle Griffin Photography is up to these days!

As I explained in a previous post, the word “challenge” has brand new meaning to me! I promised myself that I would get out my camera every day and then write about it. I was doing so g...
