Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Baby rolls

I love welcoming newborns and their families for newborn sessions in my natural light studio here in Atlanta, GA. My newborn sessions are a blend of simple, organic posing and some lifestyle. It is so important to capture all of those little details of your baby that you can't see yourself unless you're standing in front of a mirror and paying attention.

This image is a perfect example of what I mean.

This father is cradling his baby boy to his chest. He can't see how tiny his son is and how his hand covers his son. He can't see the sweet little baby rolls and how snuggly his little boy looks. Except, now ... he can. Because he has a photo of it to treasure for a lifetime. So, someday when his son asks for the keys to the car, or calls his dad out of breath to say, "Dad, the baby is coming!", he can reach for this image and remember exactly how it felt to hold his newborn son and how little he was. 

Want to schedule a time to come and see the studio (located in Historic Grant Park near Zoo Atlanta) and see the products before reserving your newborn session? Contact me today! I would love to meet you and answer any questions you have.

Atlanta Family Photographer | Capturing those little moments

One of my favorite things about being an Atlanta family and baby photographer is getting to see my clients more than once! This lovely mama and her family are such a joy to work with.  I first met them when Harry was just a tiny eleven pound baby (okay, maybe not so tiny) for their newborn session, and was excited to see them again for his 6 month old session. He's SUCH a doll, and such a happy boy! 

His mama let me know before the session that she wanted the session to focus primarily on Harry, and I reminded her that I shoot the connection between parents and children for my family sessions. I did shoot half of the session to be of just Harry, but the other half was focused on capturing moments between Harry and his parents. This moment is one of them, and I just adore this image so much. This is what motherhood is all about! Getting down on the ground with your baby and seeing the world through his eyes. Who knew grass was so fascinating? Someday Harry will be a grown man, and he will have this image of his mother on the ground next to him exploring the world right alongside him. He will know how much she loved him - because he will SEE that in this image. This is why I am so passionate about photography and what shapes the way I shoot sessions...emotive, connective moments where you feel the love in the images. 

Ready to book your session? Contact me today to begin planning. I can't wait to meet you!

Atlanta Baby Photographer | Violet is one

I can't believe my youngest is one. I took my daughters out to the field in Atlanta that I love to shoot in (all by myself) so that I could preserve this time  in photographs. My oldest looks oh so very big… when really, it wasn't that long ago that she was an itty bitty thing. I let them explore the field and be themselves and just stood back, like I do with my clients. 

Through my lens, I saw two sisters, undeniably siblings, but so different in personality. One blonde (where did this come from?!), the other brunette. One full of energy that has a hard time sitting still, the other content to sit quietly and explore through observation. This image captures my two little girls perfectly, and sums them up. It speaks more than a thousand words to me about each one and their relationship with each other. I love it. I am so glad that I have it to keep and look at forever. So that when I say "Remember when…", I have a photo to truly remember. And in a way, having this moment frozen in time will keep them this little forever. 

If you would like to reserve a session for your baby and family, please contact me today! My sessions are intimate, relaxed, and fun. You won't feel rushed or pressured, and your little ones will lead the way for how the session unfolds.

Atlanta Baby Photographer | Mommy and Harry

I just loved capturing these two at Harry's 6 month session. We doubled it as a family session, and I will be able to share the rest of the images after Christmas! If you think that a winter session isn't a good idea: think again. Winter provides such a beautiful natural background and I love to use the golden sun. 

This image is perfection to me and makes me happy just to look at it. How many of us will do anything to make our children laugh and squeal with delight? We are the entire world to our children for such a very short time. There will come a day when they won't be small enough to lift to the sky. 

Family and baby sessions are so important because you need to remember these moments with your baby. You will blink, and they will be going to kindergarten. Being a parent is so bittersweet, because you want to hold on to their littleness forever but you're so proud of them as they grow and learn new things. 

Contact me today to begin planning your baby or family session! My session fee includes 3 appointments: pre-planning for your session, your actual session, and your gallery reveal/ordering session in my natural light studio. I can't wait to meet you and create images that will make you and your baby smile for a lifetime.

Atlanta Family Photographer | The Preston Family

I love family sessions! The outdoors at sunset is the most beautiful time to shoot, and I take clients to a quiet field in the Atlanta area. I stay back while families love each other and capture the special connection between each family member. 

This session was a special one since the Prestons are from Michigan. They were passing through for a wedding in Florida and reserved a session with me during their stay in Atlanta. It's such an honor when out of state clients contact me for a session!

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Baby Aevan, 10 days new

How sweet is this little 10 day old newborn? His mama was stunning, and his older brother was equally as cute! I can't wait to share more photos from their session after they've seen the rest!

Atlanta Baby Photographer | Kerry and baby James

The last time I had seen Kerry was for her gorgeous maternity session. Kerry wanted to schedule a session for herself and her new baby boy, James, who is now 5 months old! Needless to say, Kerry is a loyal client, and I love working with her. We planned her wardrobe together after a trip to Anthropologie, and met at a park before sunset. When planning the session, Kerry let me know that she wanted some photos to document their nursing relationship, and that she loved James' thick tummy. I made a mental note of that and made sure to capture those things for her to look back on.

After viewing her images, Kerry selected several to display in their own home and as gifts for family. I'm looking forward to their family session this fall!

Atlanta Baby Photographer | Baby Ellie, 8 weeks old

I was SO excited to see Amie and Daniel again for their family/Fresh Baby session. Baby Ellie was 8 weeks old when I came, and she was such a doll baby! The last time I had seen Amie and Daniel was at their maternity session, and it was so good to see them and hear about how Ellie's birth went. I love Amie and Daniel's style, and their house feels like an Anthropologie store!

Atlanta Baby Photographer | What do you most want to remember?

I'm a mother of two. I never cease to be amazed by how quickly my daughters change, especially in the first year of life. I swear, sometimes I put my baby down for a nap and when she awakens later I feel like she sprouted more hair. It's so important to capture the little details of my children. I know when they're all grown up, I won't be able to recall exactly what their features looked like. This is why I love photography so much... a photo remembers what you have forgotten.

What do you love most about your baby? I love little baby toes and baby feet. I absolutely love when my babies learn to grab their feet... and when they manage to stick their toes in their mouth. It's just about the most adorable thing I've ever seen. 

When my daughter gets married and has children of her own, I'll still be able to remember what she looked like when she chewed on her little toes like she's doing in this photo. Will you be able to say the same? Make sure you document the little details and moments in your own photos or have a photographer come to your home and capture that for you! You will never regret having those photographs to look back on. 

I'd love to capture these memories for you and create beautiful artwork for your home! Contact me to schedule a session. Can't wait to meet you!
