Atlanta Maternity Photographer | The beauty of pregnancy

I love to take pregnancy photos for maternity clients here at my natural light studio in Atlanta, Georgia. Women are at their most beautiful when they are pregnant! I encourage my clients to take the time to have their hair and makeup professionally done, and am more than happy to recommend some talented makeup artists.

Maternity sessions are a lot of fun! Studio maternity sessions are perfect for women who want to show off the bare belly or wear more intimate clothing and not have to worry about gawking passerby. In Atlanta, the studio is also a reprieve from the oppressively hot summers and cold winters. 

Clients are often a little bit nervous and worried about feeling silly, but they all end up having the best time. Many other clients are worried that they don't look their best and are uncomfortable in their new pregnant body. It is my job to place my clients in the most flattering angles, and choose the perfect pieces from the studio wardrobe to accentuate the best features. A maternity session wonderful way to take some time out for yourself in the midst of all the business of the showers, getting the nursery ready, and fretting about all those last minute details. Take the opportunity to both pamper yourself and create beautiful images of this incredibly special time in your life!

Contact me today to begin planning your maternity session! I can't wait to work with you and create your perfect session with images to treasure for a lifetime.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | The Moments that Matter

Newborn sessions here in my Atlanta, Georgia natural light studio aren't just about posed photos. While I do include some organic and natural posing on the beanbag, the moments that are most important are the moments between you and your new baby. These moments are pure. They can't be posed. They're what you're going to look at years from now, and when you do: you're going to feel the same overwhelming emotions as you did when the image was captured. That is the point of photography, and the goal I have for every session that I shoot. 

While I appreciate the artistic effort that goes into creating photos of babies with their hands propping up their chin, it's not something I shoot here in the studio. I believe that babies should be captured just as they are. Their tiny little fingers, nose, lips, flaky skin, and pouty sleeping lips. Babies are so beautiful in their own right. I don't distract from that beauty and innocence with heavy props or themes. As a mother of two daughters, my most treasured images are the ones I have with my sweet baby girls in my arms, just as we were in that moment. This is what I provide to clients, because that is what I love. 

I adore the admiration and love emanating from this mother as she takes in every detail and feature of her beautiful baby's face. For those of us who have experienced motherhood, you know what I'm talking about. You can't get over the fact that you made something this beautiful and that this tiny little person is yours. You also can't quite believe after 9 months of waiting, they're finally in your arms. The responsibility is humbling, exciting, and overwhelming all at once. For those who are expecting and haven't experienced motherhood just yet… just you wait. The best is yet to come. 

If you're expecting and would like to reserve your newborn session, please contact me today! It's never too early, and we'll have lots of fun planning as you wait for your baby to arrive. My sessions are warm, laid back, and relaxed. You won't feel rushed or pressured, and your baby will lead the way for how the session unfolds.

Atlanta Maternity Photographer | In the Studio

It was a freezing cold day in Atlanta, but it didn't matter, because this studio maternity session was toasty warm for my pregnant mama. Look how gorgeous and happy she is! I can't wait to meet her little baby boy due at the beginning of January. 

Maternity sessions in the studio are perfect for expectant moms who want intimate images showcasing their pregnant belly. You will absolutely glow in your session, and will have so much fun! If you're worried about being awkward and self conscious, don't be. As a birth photographer in Atlanta, I have seen it all, so various stages of undress don't bother me. All of my clients warn me that they're going to be nervous and uncomfortable before their session, but by the end they tell me how much fun they had. I know it's difficult to embrace your changing pregnant body, especially as a first time mom. I have been there myself with my own two daughters. Some of the changes are fun, others not so much! I am a very warm personality, but not overbearing - and I know exactly how to guide you into flattering poses. Pregnancy is so beautiful - celebrate it! 

I have an exquisite studio wardrobe available to clients to use for their session if they desire. I also strongly recommend that clients take the time to work with a makeup artist, and have some amazing referrals here in the Atlanta area. 

Contact me today to begin planning your maternity session! I offer in studio and on location sessions.

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 Maternity Photographer | Intimate Studio Sessions

With the weather in Atlanta reaching extremes during winter and summer, I'm happy to offer pregnant mothers a reprieve for their maternity photos inside my gorgeous natural light studio. Many clients want to document their pregnancy wearing pretty intimates, and the images are absolutely lovely, tasteful, and stunning. My studio wardrobe also has quite a few options for clients to choose from!

This mama is expecting her baby boy in January, and she was so much fun to work with. She's a wedding photographer, and I love when other photographers trust me to craft images for them. She is so in love with her little boy, and can't wait to hold him and see his little face for the first time. I'm so excited for her!

I currently have limited openings for maternity clients in January and February, so if you'd like to reserve a maternity session, contact me today to begin planning! Newborn and birth clients have exclusive access to petite maternity studio session reservations.

Atlanta Child Photographer | Sweet innocence

I love to photograph children, including my own. This is my little girl. She is my oldest, and spunky and smart. I study every sweet feature of hers in the moments she is still, and cement them in my mind. Because I know I will blink, and she'll be asking for the car keys. I take photographs of her and her little sister, because I know ten, twenty, thirty years from now I will struggle to remember in my mind exactly what they looked like when they were small.. 

This is why photographs matter to me. So I never forget.

Atlanta Maternity Photographer | From 3 to 4

This sweet family is welcoming a new baby at the beginning of 2015 and wanted to capture both their pregnancy and family for their photos! They're waiting to find out if they're having a son or daughter, and I can't wait to find out when the baby arrives. Erica and I planned their shoot a few months prior, and she chose to use a dress from my studio wardrobe available to my clients. We spent an evening in 37 degree weather to capture their family and Erica's pregnancy. I just love their little family, and can't wait to share more from their session.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | 13 days new

Beauty is in the simple. You won't find me putting newborns into unnatural contorted positions or distracting from their beautiful features and sweet details with heavy props. Instead, you'll find me making my babies cozy and comfortable. I focus on capturing their sweet details: their shock of newborn hair, their little lips, noses, and fingers, and their tiny little toes. I capture what you will want to remember as you leaf through your album when they aren't your tiny baby anymore. 

If you are interested in a session, it is recommended that you reserve during your second trimester to secure your spot. I only accept a limited number of clients per month due to the amount of personalized time and attention each of my clients enjoy. Please contact me for more information and reserve your session in my calendar. I can't wait to meet you!

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 Family Photographer | the perfect moments

My Atlanta family sessions aren't just about getting that "perfect" family photo. Perfection is in the stolen moments.

It's remembering how perfectly your little girl fit in your arms and the smell of her freshly washed hair. My photos are about capturing your love in real life.
