I am so excited to announce that I have added maternity gown wardrobe! I'm wearing one of these NEW maternity gowns that I am so excited to offer my clients in the image below. These are for maternity session mommas, of course, but we can also use them if you aren't pregnant (as seen here)!💜

I can't say enough wonderful things about this family. I "met" Natalia through our gym although we were never there at the same time! After scheduling our session, we figured out that her youngest and my oldest go to the same preschool. Small world! So much in common before we even met and our evening together was delightful! Once we met, we continued to hit it off and found even more connections and similar interests as we talked.
We met on a November evening at one of my favorite, unique Atlanta locations. The H family was adorably coordinated and were all so natural in front of the camera. We did a bit of walking on the boardwalk and then found a fun spot for the boys to throw leaves on our way back to our cars. I think we captured a nice variety of classic family images as well as a few that show the fun they have together and the love they have for one another.
Thank you for allowing me to capture your family this fall! Enjoy a few favorites from our time together!<3
One of my favorite things about what I do is photographing families as their children grow. This is one of those families and I consider it such a joy to work with them in particular. I first met the Wells when "Little Bear" was just 8 days new and absolutely loved them from the first minute. We always have so much to talk about and all 3 are naturals in front of the camera.
This year we met at the Big Creek Greenway and walked to a little spot where I like to take families. The trees were just beginning to turn and although the mosquitos were downright evil (lol) the light was perfect on this evening. There is so much love in this family and it was so special for me to have the opportunity to capture the Wells again this year. Thank you Jackie and Matt for another beautiful session! Enjoy some of my favorites!

Perfection. That is the best way to describe this golden hour session with the Garcias. I am always so honored when my friends ask me to capture their families and I am thrilled when everything turns out as perfectly as this evening did. I last photographed this family a couple years ago in a different setting but they were just as amazing.
The perfect golden light, a beautiful family, perfectly dressed, and genuine interactions made this evening so special. 4 year old Olivia is one of our Jack's best friends and you can see how absolutely ADORABLE this little girl is. I am SO in love with this session and the images that we captured. Enjoy a few of my favorites from our time together!

I was so happy to see this family for Miss Avery's one year photos! We also got some updated family shots and some of their beautiful 3 year old Bailey who I photographed when she turned one. We braved the rain (who else is tired of all this rain that we've been having lately??) and the session turned out beautifully despite the less than ideal weather. Avery was as cute (and serious!) as she could be...I think I caught glimpses of some adorable dimples?? And Bailey is still as perfect as I remember her. This family is so blessed with these two beautiful sisters. Here are some of my favorites from our evening together!

As a photographer, I get to witness many precious occasions with the families that I meet. These times are even more special when I'm asked to photograph a good friend's special moments. That's exactly what this session was for me. My good friend gave birth to her second child, a precious baby boy, and invited me to her home to capture their new family of four and baby R's newborn portraits. Big sister, who I photographed at 2 years old, was so proud of her baby and loved getting to hold and kiss him in their pictures together. Little man R was as precious as he could be and I am loving all of his newborn portraits, especially that I had a chance to use the newborn Braves hat again! Congrats, W Family, on your perfect new addition! Here are a few of my favorites from our session - Enjoy!
Contact me about your upcoming newborn photography session:
I was so happy to see this beautiful mama and her babies for an afternoon mommy and me session! Big sister Hazel is 4, and that's a 4 going on sixteen I might add! This precious girl is so smart, imaginative, and mature, I would happily hang out with her any day of the week. Baby brother Malachi has the most beautiful eyes and platinum blond hair and his smile would make anyone happy. These siblings mama is a special friend of mine - an intelligent, caring, loving (the list could go on) woman that Malachi and Hazel will be proud to always call her mommy. :) D family, this session was an honor and I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to capture these adorable kids and their mommy. Here are a few sneak peeks from our session - enjoy!

It's so hard to make yourself get in front of the camera when you're the one making the pictures happen. When my mom was in town to help, I was determined to get some shots with my boys. As moms, we may not love how we look (especially after giving birth!) but I know when I look back on these, I will be so thankful that I got in the frame. This is already one of my favorite photos so far this year.
2.21.2015
Learning to take the paci. We had these elephant wubbanubs with jack, so had to stock up on some new one for Ryan.

Ryan's first "snow." I guess we should call it his first snowfall since nothing ended up sticking over here.
2.26.2015
Such an exciting and what felt like an incredibly loooooooong week! The days leading up to the birth of Ryan and our first couple days with him. My c section was originally scheduled for the 26th but our dr (who we love!), ended up traveling to see his first grand baby so we postponed until he got back. Baby and I held out but it really made this feel like the longest week ever.

Jack's preschool celebrates summer birthdays as half birthdays so Jack got to have a 1/2 birthday party on this day:) He was so excited and cute about getting to have a "party" and cupcakes. My friend Collette at Shaddy Cakes made the cupcakes with a cake flavor of cookies n cream. So yummy, everyone wanted more! And almost a month later, Jack is still talking about this day.
23|365
We gave jack this umbrella for Christmas and it is arguably his favorite present ever. He has also always been all about his rain boots and coat so on this rainy day I decided to take him to a local park for some puddle jumping. He only made it through this one jump and then was too upset that his pants and socks got wet. We'll have to do this more often!
24|365
Jack asks to read about baby brother every night. This Berenstein Bears book is one of his favorites!

On the lookout for Captain Hook!

"Double Tickles"
Part of the "night night go go daddy" routine that's been going on for almost 2 years on John's nights to put jack down. They have a long list of made up games that they play on our bed on these nights that produce lots of squeals and giggles!

One of Jack's frequent requests is to visit Whole Foods...its all about that cart and shopping for his foods.

So many good photos from the birthday party at INK today, I had such a hard time choosing... but finally settled on these because:
1. It was Millie's bday at ink
2. Our friend, Joel, makes the 365 pic
3. Michael covering Madeleine's mouth as she was trying to help blow out Millie's candle...lol
4. Jack and Millie's cousin are "helping" her blow the candle
5. (Pic #2) Jack stuffing his face with birthday cake- something we recently discovered that he loves!

My little assistant loves trips to the post office to mail photo orders.
Jack has been loving trips to the post office for about a year and a half now. He loves to put packages in the big door and knows the process of weighing and stamping first. I had to capture this moment of one of his favorite things.

A day in the life of a little superman... flying, preschool, napping...
These velcro cape tshirts are the cutest invention ever! I have been getting them in every size from Gap since started walking. He obviously loves them!

13|365 Garbage day is still so thrilling! But if they don't notice Jack watching and fail to honk at him, he gets very offended:/ This was a good day though, honks and waves all around!

If you missed week 1, check it out here: Project 365 | Week 1
This year I have decided to embark on a Project 365... a photo a day for an entire year. I have been wanting to complete one of these personal projects for a couple years now, but finally felt the true motivation and desire to do it in 2015! With our new addition of baby brother at the end of this month, I know I'll have lots of great subject matter.
I hope to mostly capture each day with my d800 as a way of refining and expanding my photography skills but there may be some iPhone shots sprinkled throughout. So please excuse the quality of those few! Day 2 and Day 7 of this first week are iPhone captures - day 2 because I left my memory cards at home and day 7 because the moment happened and I only had my phone:)

Another awesome family Christmas card photo session. I love that they wanted to bring along doggie and he did so well for the family images with him! This family was so much fun and chose red and black for their wardrobe (for UGA of course!) and they were a pleasure to photograph. Big brother and big sister were so sweet with their baby, you can see how much they adore her from these images.
We met on an abnormally nice December morning for these photos. The light was gorgeous at this atlanta park and I just love the images we were able to get together. I hope you will enjoy these for many years to come, enjoy a few sneak peeks from our time together!<3
Meet the Doldo's! My beautiful friend, Faith, and all her handsome boys! Their oldest son and my Jack are big buddies so I knew what an adorable personality the little man had and the twins couldn't be cuter if they tried!
Faith's husband, Neil, works as the fitness director at the Atlanta Athletic Club, so when Faith mentioned that location as an option, I knew we HAD to go for it. Nothing like a private photo session for your family of five on the golf course! Their perfectly coordinated outfits totally made the session. I had so much fun photographing your family, Faith and Neil, and hope you will enjoy the images for many years to come!
I can't say enough wonderful things about this family of four and their fall photo session. They are some of my favorite people in Atlanta. I met them through church when their oldest was just a baby and even visited the hospital when their son was born. They are always so enjoyable to talk to and their kids are the best and so much fun.
We met on a beautiful weekday afternoon at a park in Buckhead, one that I had been anxious to try out for some time now. It was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect setting for their family pictures. Mom coordinated their outfits so perfectly and they look amazing! I just love how the images turned out. Take a peek....
My beautiful friend, Sarah, contacted me after finding out the gender of her baby and wanted to do a special photo shoot for Van, Sarah and Chad's son. I was instantly excited about this idea and knew how sweet Van has been about his mommy being pregnant and wanting to know if his sibling would be a boy or a girl. I couldn't wait to witness the big reveal!
It's a girl!!!! Van was adorable and giddy with excitement over his soon to be baby sister! I couldn't be more thrilled for my sweet friend and her family. This baby girl is so blessed to have a big brother like Van and such awesome parents, too:) Thank you, Chad and Sarah, for letting me be part of the big reveal!
This little boy couldn't have been more adorable for his one year photos! I've met his momma through a mutual friend and have gotten to know her a little bit through social events. I was thrilled when she contacted me about a session for Jackson and the rest of the family.
We met on a perfectly sunny afternoon and little guy was in a great mood and a joy to photograph. The rest of his family was so much fun and you can really see through these images that Jackson is one loved little boy.
C family, I hope these images captured your little love exactly how you want to remember him at this cute stage in his life. He is one lucky boy to have the love of so many wonderful people!
I have to say that this is probably the coolest sessions, scenery-wise that I've done to date! It had been raining all day and we were worried that we'd have to reschedule, which is super difficult with extended family sessions since each family has its own busy schedule. Thankfully, the rain went away JUST in time!
We met at Buford Dam, which my friend and former co-worker, Angie, had picked for their session. It was beautiful when we toured it a few weeks before the session but we couldn't have planned it on a day with this fog coming off the river if we tried! We also hopped across the street and did a few shots at Lake Lanier.
Thank you so much, Smith family, for allowing me to capture your family this year and preserve memories with you!
I was thrilled when this sweet family asked to do newborn photos for their new addition. The Giambrones are close friends of my in-laws so I had heard how excited they were to welcome a new baby girl into their family. And my Jack and their Evan have spent some time playing together on a couple different occasions, so I also knew what a sweet big brother Evan would be!
Our session was wonderful. Tiny Miss Mary slept like an angel and we got lost of family and sibling shots during our time together as well!
Thank you so much, G family, for the opportunity to capture this sweet and magical time in your lives! I hope you will cherish these memories forever. Congratulations on your perfect baby girl!
