Mother Son Date Night at Saville Studios

Saturday, February 15, 2014

After a fun day photographing people running around in their underwear (if you missed yesterday’s post click here) I switched gears, heading out of Atlanta and towards Peachtree City where around 60 mothers and sons were meeting up for a Valentine’s Day date night at Saville Studios. Owned by Kate Saville Hawkins, the huge space of over 6500 sq. feet was more than accommodating as mothers and their sons donned aprons, grabbed canvas, paint and brushes and created works of art to take home while most importantly getting to spend some time together one on one in a fun and creative way. The artists were given a choice to get creative on their own or to participate in a pseudo class where coy fish and sharks were on the menu. Soon the blank canvases were filled with color as laughter and conversation filled the room with noise. Kate led the group in a step-by-step how to as the fish started to take shape. It was a fun evening filled with smiles and there is something to be said for the importance of taking time out of our busy schedules to spend some quality time with those we love.
