A Valentine Blizzard in Atlanta, GA!

Hello Fans,

It’s February and we expect snow, right? Well, if you live in Atlanta, GA…then the answer is NO.  It’s not very often that we get snow in Atlanta, especially 4-6 inches of it! When the Weather channel announced that we have a huge storm coming through, I’m sure there were a lot of skeptics out there. But not me, I crossed my fingers and prayed for snow!

I’m originally from Russia and ever since I moved to Atlanta, I have seen snow only a handful of times.  So when it actually started snowing, I was like a kid in a candy store! Or a kid on Christmas morning! Well, you get the idea…I was basically a big KID. I ran outside, put my head back, stuck my tongue out and twirled around in circles! It was awesome!

And the best part…it snowed for almost an entire day!  My sister in-law was visiting with her boyfriend and were stranded at our house.  So I begged everyone to come outside and we built the biggest snow-man! He was at least 6′ tall! It was everyone’s 1st time, but my millionth time…and they were quite impressed with my skills, hehe.

Enjoy a few snapshots of the beautiful Valentine’s Day weekend in Atlanta!

Much Love,

Congratulations Lisa & Paul!!! (Sneak Peek!)

Hello Fans!

This past weekend, Milana Photography had the pleasure of photographing and videographing the Wedding of Lisa & Paul! The Ceremony was at Founder’s Hall, and the Reception followed immediately after at Roswell River Landing.

It was such a fun Wedding!! I know that Lisa & Paul are ecstatic to see their pictures, and to ease their excitement, here’s a fun photo of them during the famous Jewish Horah dance, a.k.a. “the chair dance.”

Doesn’t that look super duper fun???
Full Blog post will follow in a few weeks with lots of photos and details of the Wedding, including the crazy story of how I caught the flu during the photoshoot. hehe. And yes, I am writing this Blog post from my bed…surrounded by a sea of tissues, a cold towel on my forehead and countless empty cups with left-over lemons from my tea. But trust me, it was ALL worth it! :)
Congratulations again to the Happy Couple!!!
Much Love,
