Atlanta Family Photographer | Madeleine, Parker & Carlisle

Madeleine is one of my frequent flyer clients, and I love seeing her a few times per year for updated family and child portraits. She is the most fun mother, and her children are absolutely darling. I’ve loved watching her become a mother and welcome each of her babies! She’s a wife, mom, 100% a powerhouse, actively fights for social justice both personally and professionally with her law firm, and serves as a city council member on top of that! I don’t know how she so effortlessly does it all, but she does it with a smile and is so much fun to be around.

This particular session was for mommy and me portraits, which give daddies a break from being in photos. I’ve found that most of my clients have fifty billion images on their phones of their children with daddy but are sorely lacking in photos with mom. And the ones you do have… are not exactly (a) in focus or (b) your best angle. If that’s you, let’s fix that!

Madeleine has worked with me SO many times that she no longer needs guidance on what to wear, and she knocks it out of the park every time. She’s a big fan of white jeans, and loves the neutral aesthetic, so she coordinated Parker & Carlisle with pinks and whites.

When the whole family arrived at the studio (daddy came along to lend a hand if needed), we got started right away! My goal is for mamas to walk away with images of them with all of their children and individual ones as well. I work around your little one(s) and how they’re feeling in the moment, and direct you along the way for natural interaction. Many of the prompts that I give you are things that you do on your own all the time! You’re often just not relaxed enough to think to do these things while in front of a camera - and that’s where I come in.

My only rules for you when you’re with me are to relax, be wiling to have fun and play with your child(ren), and throw worrying out the window. Trust me and be confident that I will create beautiful images of you with your babies that your mama heart so desperately wants.

Enjoy a few of my favorites from my time with this crew!

If you're expecting a baby or already a parent and looking for a newborn, maternity, or family photographer, I would love to work with you to create images that you will love for a lifetime.
