Welcome

Hi and welcome to INSPIRE, the photo blog of Cassandra Dieterle Photography, a husband and wife photography team.  We currently hold offices in Atlanta, Georgia and in Honolulu, Hawaii, but LOVE to travel worldwide for both business and pleasure.  We have shot just about anything you could think of at some point in our photography career but most frequently we can be found snapping away for: weddings, families, kids and babies, and of course our stock photo trips. INSPIRE-photo blog- came about after a Tuesday afternoon conversation between David and I.  In turn we came to the conclusion that...life IS short, how short we don't know so figure out what inspires you to grow and live each moment to the fullest! For us being inspired is what keeps us going in our photographic career, it's what encourages us to be a family, friend, find new angles, go new places, meet new people, and at the same time appreciate our past!  This blog serves as our own personal journal to all that inspires us, for us to share our thoughts through our images both professional and personal in  hopes that it will encourage you to find what inspires you.  So please enjoy, don’t rush through, explore the site and let us know what you think!  We love to get feedback and who knows your feedback may inspire someone else! If you are looking for something specific to INSPIRE you, use our search box, otherwise you can browse through the categories at the top until you find something that strikes your fancy.

Warmest Aloha,

Gracelyn – { KIDS – Champion Kids, Marietta, GA }

April 12, 2011 – 5:24 am

My littlest girl is getting big, she is a fearless bundle of joy to have around.  Gracie just turned 3 last month and has been flipping and flopping like a big girl for quite some time now!  These photos were taken at Champion Kids, during Gracelyn’s last tumble fun gymnastic class for tots, which they open up to parents to come and watch and see what they have learned.  We had a blast watching the little ones bounce on the trampoline, flip on the bars, slide down the slide and show off their skills they had been working on…as you can see I was a very proud mommy!!!

Lily & Grace – { BABY – Marietta, GA }

March 22, 2011 – 5:48 am

It seems as if spring has sprung early this year.  The trees are budding and blooming and babies sessions are booming.  These sweet little twins were picture perfect! They were great sleepers and seemed to read my mind in their “posing” skills they showed off.   They seemed to do the same thing automatically, really made me curious if twins can read each others minds (so jealous if they can!)

Towa – { BABY – Atlanta, GA}

March 22, 2011 – 5:20 am

Towa, meaning Eternity, was so energetic to be only 1 week old, he was full of life.  I seriously think he only slept about 2 minutes the entire time I was there :) .  Most of the “eye’s closed” shots were simply him acting like he was going to go to sleep for us only to be fooled again when his eyes popped open and gazed back at us.  Patience is a virtue when photographing little babies (and big ones too sometimes-he he), but I seriously could stay with the little’s all day.  They are so amazing to watch- even if they are doing absolutely nothing, it’s a stage that seems to fly by and when it’s your baby you are sooooo tired and exhausted it’s hard to enjoy, so selfishly it’s my way of remembering my two girls during their time of little.  
On another note, Towa’s grandma was visiting from Japan at the time, she has since returned to her home outside of Tokyo and thankfully is ok from the disaster.  Our family’s thoughts and prayers have been with her and all of Japan.

Tulips – {Inspire- Oahu}

March 20, 2011 – 4:25 am

It feels like spring yet somehow it doesn’t feel right being that it’s only March.  However the warm weather has inspired me to dig up some oldies that never I never posted.  Tulips!!!  The shoot was done for Pacific Weddings Magazine in Honolulu Hawaii for their summer/fall issue 2010.  It is one of my absolute favorite magazines next to Martha Stewart (all of them) if you are getting married and need great design ideas and inspiration this is one magazine you should not miss!  For this shoot little Miss Gracelyn Dieterle posed as a “flower girl”.  The flowers featured in the photos were designed by Designs by Hemingway (by Debbie Hemingway) and made up of  Tulips and Ranunculus a beautiful combination of textures smooth and soft.  The rich blue and gold table design was done by Sandra Williams from Finishing Touch.

Emma – {BABY – Marietta, Georgia}

March 18, 2011 – 4:55 am

One of my absolute favorite things about my job as a photographer is getting to see the miracle of life.  Watching families unite and grow, and especially watching the little ones grow.   Last time I saw and photographed Emma she was only 1 week old and enjoyed her sleep.  This time around you could see her smiles and curiosity blossoming.   She giggles and has the cutest facial expressions.  She is even trying the beginning stages of crawling!  I can’t wait to see what she is into next time at our 8 month session.

Sachiyo and Ryan – {BUMP – Marietta, GA}

February 4, 2011 – 3:54 am

Sachiyo and Ryan were clients of ours in 2009, they had a intimate destination wedding in Hawaii. Ironically they are from Atlanta so of course when we arrived I called to let them know we were here and we would love to see them again!  With a baby on the way we met in the park for some maternity photos, it was sooooo cold outside ( a big change from Hawaii!!!!), but I really love the bundled up look of the photos and she picked the perfect dress for a winter maternity session.

Snow Days – { My Girls }

February 2, 2011 – 4:22 am

Let it snow!  It’s not often that Georgia sees this much snow or even enough to really play in.  For these two little sun loving girls I was suprised at how badly they wanted to stay out in the cold.  Each morning of the week of no school, they could hardly wait to get outside and play in the snow, which was actually more like a sheet of ice by the 3rd day, but none the less they had fun playing in it.

A Winter Vintage Day – {NEST – Roswell, GA}

January 31, 2011 – 4:00 am

I’ve been waiting to post these great photos of Amanda and her girls.  They were some of my favorites from the Christmas season of photos 2010.  Amanda is one of the most stylish girls I know (always dressed to the T and looking her best!) so when she asked me to do a vintage style session with her and her adorable girls for Christmas I knew they would be great!  ilovecdpIMG_5639e
