Please share a little about you and your shop: My name is A. Jarrett and I live in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two year old daughter. My shop showcases the world as I see it behind my lens – places I’ve been, things I’ve seen, and people I know. I enjoy capturing ordinary objects and experimenting with textures and light to bring out beauty in everyday images.
When did you start photographing? Did you go to school for photography or is it all natural talent? ;) I am a primarily self taught photographer. I have always had a love for photography. My daughter was born August 2006, and that love became a passion. At that moment, my life changed. My priorities shifted, and I began to see the world in a new light. I grabbed my camera to capture my new-found view of the world. In her honor, my work is named after my daughter, Gabrielle Kai – my source of inspiration and the spark of my creativity.
What inspires you: I have an old soul – I am drawn to things, places, and people that tell a story. Things that have been around longer than I have! I am also inspired by the beauty I see in my everyday life. The entire world transforms when I look through the lens in camera and strive to capture that essence. I should also add that my camera is always with me wherever I go, because I never know when inspiration will strike!
Favorite place to travel: Any place near water - I love visiting the warm waters of the Carribean Sea and the Carolina Coast.

I love "be happy", it reminds me of the annual carnival growing up. The zipper was always the scariest ride, and only the big kids were brave enough to go on it!
They are all so gorgeous! Hard to decide, but I absolutely adore Urban VIntage!

angela.hamilton16@yahoo.com
I love all the photos but my favourite is morning cup of beauty.The reason I like morning cup of beauty so much is im an avid rose lover.Helen
malfie@care2.com
I love her "be happy" print. Maybe because I'm afraid of ferris wheels and this makes it look so safe and fun?
love the 'fine new portable print'!
jen
I love 'softly ever after.' So beautiful!
Simplicity at it's best! I am such a fan of Gabrielle. There is such a softness in her work that creates this awesome opacity in her prints.
My fav though is "Take with you" not only for the photo but especially her description. "~You never really leave a place or person you love, part of them you take with you, leaving a part of yourself behind~" Couldn't have said it better myself.
Meg Feenan

I love Be Happy, followed by So In Love and Take With You.
elissa(at)iinet(dot)net(dot)au
I really love the "Morning Cup of Beauty" print giveaway but if I had to choose another then I would choose either "Tea Time" or "Droplets" even though all of her prints are fabulous!
stefaniehunn (at) gmail (dot) com
Love her shop! Beautiful work!
Right now, my favorite is the "be happy" print, with "bee to the blossom" a close second. =)
Thanks for the opportunity!

Hi
I love your "Be Happy" that has to be my fave
thanks
Nikki C
I love every single one of her photos so it was hard to choose just one. My favorite is the "I love the carolina coast" set but since it's more than one prints, the "be happy" one is a very close second.
They are all so so beautiful!
poppy.noir.81@gmail.com
Wow...her images are gorgeous!! I like "take with you". I love how she has fresh, blooming, flowers in most of her work. So beautiful!
Jenipher@cherryrunway.com
:)
would have to be "be happy." i love the color of the sky & the vintage ferris wheel. this photo just expresses life & how one shouldn't worry about things so much & try to live life to their fullest because life's too short.
