one year old boy photos | Atlanta Family Photographer

November 29, 2014

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!

precious baby boy | Roswell Newborn Photographer

April 28, 2014

I was thrilled when Danyella and Wes contacted me about a newborn session for their new precious boy, Lucas. I can't ever say enough about how the specialness of newborn sessions. It's such a sweet and fleeting time in a family's life and I'm always so honored to be asked to capture the makeup of a new family.

We had such a wonderful afternoon together, baby Lucas was as sweet as he could be and I loved getting to chat with his mom and dad during our breaks. I've known Danyella and her family for several years and they are such great people. I've met Wes a couple times so enjoyed this chance to get to know him and Danyella as a couple. They are already such great parents, Lucas is so lucky to have them!

Thank you so much, M family, for inviting me to photograph your beautiful newborn baby boy and new family of three:) I wish you nights full of sleep and days full of joy! You have so many fun times ahead of you with sweet Lucas.

adorable brother and sister | Johns Creek Child Photographer

April 4, 2014

How cute are these two kiddos?? They belong to some good friends of ours and I had so much fun capturing their busy and fun personalities on this sunny evening in March. Michael is 100% boy and loved throwing money in the water fountains, growling like a dinosaur/monster, and running & jumping all over the place! Miss Madeleine is absolutely adorable as you can see, with her piggie tails, cute little walk, and "so big" expressions.

Thank you for asking me to capture your beautiful kids this spring, G family! I had so much fun playing with Michael and Madeleine and capturing their little selves and big personalities. I hope you will enjoy these images for many years to come!

beautiful new addition | Johns Creek Baby Photographer

March 21, 2014

I can't say enough great things about this session and the beautiful family that you'll see here. I just love newborn sessions and this one was so much fun. And you will not believe how amazing this momma looks, just 8 days after giving birth! I'm so impressed.

Chelsey was a sorority sister of mine at Samford and she and her husband recently moved to Atlanta and to open their own location of Iron Tribe Fitness. I loved catching up with her, meeting her husband Chaz, hearing about their new business and of course, photographing their beautiful new addition Nora! Such a special family.

Nora was an absolute angel during our session. She slept, let us pose her sweetly, and took snuggle and eating breaks with mommy and daddy and then was ready to get back to work! I just love how the images turned out from our session.

Thank you, Tillman family, for allowing me to capture Nora during these precious, early days of her life! You have such a sweet and beautiful girl and she is so blessed to have you as parents! I wish you all the best during this magical time:)

one year old cake smash | Atlanta Baby Photographer

February 22, 2014

Happy 1st Birthday Millie!

This precious girl is the cutest ball of joy. Always cheerful and grinning, she was a great model! Big sister Claire is one of my son Jack's friends- he loves her and talks about her almost daily. Sweet kids.

Millie's session took place at her home and we made sure to get some sweet shots of the birthday girl, big sis, and the two of them together. It was a super fun morning. We ended the session with a cake smash where cake ended up everywhere! Even between Millie's toes:) I'd say it was a success!

Thank you, P family, for hiring me to capture Millie on her 1st birthday! Your girls are so sweet and I'm so thankful to have you all as friends!

one year old little guy | Atlanta Baby Photographer

January 31, 2014

Joseph, how in the world are you ONE?? Wasn't it just yesterday that we did your newborn session? Crazy how fast time flies.

I have absolutely LOVED being able to photograph this little guy during his first year of life. We did sessions when he was a newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and now one year. It has been a pleasure to watch him grow and see what new things he's doing at each stage. Joseph is such a precious and beautiful baby and his mom and dad are so loving and attentive, he's lucky to have them.

Thank you so much, Alicia and Josh, for hiring me to be Joseph's first year photographer. I can't begin to describe how much fun I've had at our sessions, how I've enjoyed getting to know you all, and how much I've loved seeing Joseph grow!

sweet little siblings | Alpharetta Family Photographer

December 29, 2013

I was so excited about this session for my friends the Gersters and hoped that we would get lucky and have a warm December session. Not so much, it was freezing!!!

We got some really sweet shots in the short time we were together but will be finishing this session on a warmer day. So look for more of this beautiful family soon!

9 month old cutie pie | milton family photographer

November 8, 2013

I can't say enough about how much I love this family! I have had the pleasure of photographing cutie pie Joseph when he was a newborn, at 3 months, 6 months, and now 9 months. It has been so fun to see how much he's grown at each milestone and I have really enjoyed getting to know his parents.

This little boy is so loved by his mommy and daddy and has such a precious personality that you can already see at just 9 months old. For this session, we met at a historic park and covered bridge in Ball Ground. Joseph's mommy always chooses beautiful locations and this one was no different. We had a great evening and I absolutely loved capturing Joseph at this stage of his sweet little life:)

baby girl baptism | Atlanta Family Photographer

October 4, 2013

I had the pleasure of photographing Juliette's baptism last Saturday. It was a super fun session and a beautiful and meaningful service and I truly enjoyed being part of this day for the Rudolf family.

The Rudolf's are friends of a friend of mine and after talking with Cheri I realized that I had met her mom once before at a cookie swap last Christmas. They are an incredibly fun family and I totally felt welcome and like I was one of the guests on this important day. And Miss Juliette was the happiest baby ever- all I had to do was call her name and she would give me the hugest grin!:)

I love how all of the images turned out from the baptism and am honored that I was there to witness sweet Juliette's baptism. You have a beautiful family!

Thank you, Rudolf family, for asking me to capture this special day for you!

Johnson Family Session | Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek Family Photographer

September 21, 2013

The Johnsons are a family that we know from church and always enjoy their company. Through birthday parties and a Christmas eve party, we've met the whole extended family so I knew this would be a fun evening.

Mimmy and Poppy wanted to have the session at their amazing home which Poppy designed and built before he retired. It really is gorgeous and the perfect place for family photos. I couldn't have picked a better spot if I tried.

I seriously felt like I was part of the family during this session. Not only did we have the best time during the shoot, but I was invited to share dinner with them and hang out. And, not to mention, Mimmy is an amazing cook! It was a great night. One of the granddaughters even told me that I was the "funnest photographer ever" which is one of my favorite compliments ever!

Thank you, Johnsons, for allowing me to capture your beautiful family this year! I had the best time with you all.

Tub Play | Alpharetta Photographer, Atlanta Family Photographer

September 5, 2013

Our little guy LOVES bath time! One afternoon, we decided to let him have a go in the big tub in our master bath. He had a blast, of course. As you can see, there's a large mirror right above the tub. Jack used that to come up with this game... he would squat down in the tub, call "jaaaaackiiiieeee," and jump up and *surprise* himself. It was great fun for him and we love watching him come up with cute games on his own. We look forward to lots more "bathie" games with you, Jack!

Lifestyle Photography- Sandbox Story | Johns Creek Child Photographer, Alpharetta Photographer

August 20, 2013

The more I learn about lifestyle photography, the more I love it. I've always thought that I would love for my pictures to tell a story. That's exactly what lifestyle photography is all about. Here's my "sandbox story" from a jack and daddy session recently:)

Leaderman Family Session | Sandy Springs Family Photographer, Johns Creek Photographer

August 16, 2013

Cookie and Papa Leaderman wanted to hold a family photo session at their beautiful home in Sandy Springs on the occasion that all of the children and grandchildren were in town (Son, DIL, and baby live in NYC). I am honored that they asked me to capture their family at this wonderful stage in their lives.

Their daughter Jenni and I quickly became good friends after meeting at church. Before I had Jack, I used to babysit their girls and Jenni held a baby shower at her home for me. Jenni and Gabe have been great friends to us over the last 6 years that we have known them. Gabe even let jack borrow the crib that he built by hand for his girls! They are a talented and fun family and we are thankful to call them friends.

Because I enjoy Jenni, Gabe, and girls so much I knew this session would be awesome. And it was so much fun, they were so welcoming and I felt like I was just over to hang out while we all enjoyed each other's company. The evening was perfect and I am thrilled with the images that we captured.

You have a beautiful family, Leadermans!

Here's a sample of some of my favorite images from our session...

6 month old sweetness ~ family of 3 | Johns Creek Baby Photographer

August 11, 2013

Sweet little Joseph is six months old! This is such great stage and possibly one of my favorite baby ages. They'll sit still and smile for you but can't crawl (or run for that matter!) away. I have thoroughly enjoyed each session with his family and this one was no different for sure.

Joseph was an excellent model during our shoot... big blue eyes, chunky baby legs, and a huge, sweet grin that really came out when his mommy would sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider." Alicia and Josh, I am so honored to have the opportunity to document this stage of your life with Joseph. You have a beautiful family!

beautiful one year old | Johns Creek Baby Photographer

June 7, 2013

I was thrilled to hear from my college sorority sister, Emily, when she asked me to do her beautiful Bailey's one year session. On my way to meet them, I thought about how I hadn't seen her in almost 9 years! How is that possible?? I can't believe I've been out of college for that long. It sure has gone by fast.

We had the best time on this evening at a Roswell Park. It was great to catch up with Bailey and meet Derek. Love this little family. And Bailey was just as cute as she could possibly be. I so enjoyed being her photographer:)

Thank you, Emily & Derek, for asking me to capture your sweet girl! She is beautiful!

Newborn Ethan | Suwanee, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, GA Newborn Photographer

March 9, 2013

I met Kristen almost 6 years ago at church. We have a lot in common and quickly became friends- both Atlanta transplants from Alabama (Roll Tide!), newly married, and kid free (at that point!). Now Kristen and Davey have a beautiful family of four and I was thrilled that they allowed me to capture this special time in their lives with the addition of newborn Ethan. Big sister Elliana is such a sweetie and I loved seeing her interact with her baby.

Ethan was born on Valentine's Day (a special gift of love!) and not only that, but February 14 was his actual due date! Such a cool birthday on both accounts.

I really enjoyed our morning together and hope that you all will enjoy these images for years to come! And a big thanks to Nana and Papa for being the best assistants a photographer could ask for- couldn't have done it without you two:)

Congrats on your newest blessing "E" family!
