cutie pie 3 year old | atlanta child photographer

This cutie pie 3 year old and his family joined me for my annual fall mini sessions. I was so excited that they signed up because I hadn't seen them in over a year back when we attended church together. I very clearly remember that little Ethan was a super sweet and well behaved little boy and he had not changed a bit! He was the most adorable little guy on this evening at Barrington Hall, he turned up the charm and grins 100%, and went along with ANYTHING we asked him to do. What a handsome little man! I know Alex and Jessica love having this little guy around and what a blessing he is! Here are a few of my favorites from our session! Enjoy!

golden light and beautiful family of 3 | milton family photographer

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!

happy siblings ~ 4 year and 9 month photos | Johns Creek Child Photographer

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!

One Year Session | Johns Creek Baby Photographer

Miss Avery is ONE!!!
Miss Avery is ONE!!! This was my first session back from maternity leave. I cannot tell you how excited I was to be back photographing these adorable kids  We met at a beautiful park in Johns Creek. The weather was absolutely perfect too! 

Avery, her big brother Luke, and big sister Addison were too cute together. I loved my evening with them! I brought my 6 week old newborn Ryan as my “assistant” to the session and Avery NEEDED to have him. It was the most precious thing ever. Mom snuggled Ryan while I did the shoot. Then every time she walked away, Avery would reach her arms out and squeal for them to come back. At first we thought Miss Avery just wanted mom but later figured out she has a baby obsession. Might be time for baby Adams #4 ??? Right Amber? 

Adams family, I had a blast with your children and hope that you enjoy these images! Happy 1st Birthday Avery!!!

Project 365 | Week 4 | January 22-31, 2015 | Johns Creek, GA Lifestyle Family Photographer

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.

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!

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.

My new assistant. We were picking out paint colors for baby's room at Home Depot and Jack insisted on "helping" me take a picture. Now he does this almost every day!

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!

family of four photos | brookhaven family photographer

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....

gender reveal - spring baby, pink or blue? | Johns Creek Maternity Photographer

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!

tiny newborn angel | Alpharetta Newborn Photographer

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!
