February has started out wonderfully... such a magical time with our new tiny baby.
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.

Thankful | Blog Circle Week 6
I have totally slacked on my blog circle posts but thankfully Jana encouraged us to brush off some dust in our group and get some posts up! Thank you Jana:)
Today I am thankful for this man. He NEVER lets me snap photos of him so I think this may be the only image I've ever taken of just him. I'm so glad that he let me take this, I know I will love having it and Jack will, too.
Without getting too sappy, I'm thankful to have John in my life, for the love, support, and encouragement he gives me every day. I'm thankful that Jack has him for a daddy and that we get to love him too!
Be sure to check out the thankful posts from these ladies:
9 month old cutie pie | milton family photographer
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:)
Pumpkin Patch | Alpharetta, Johns Creek, GA Lifestyle Photographer
Last Thursday we took our second annual trip to Berry Patch Farms to visit their pumpkin patch. We love this pumpkin patch because it's small, easy to get to in Atlanta traffic, close enough to attend on a weeknight, and the crowds aren't out of control.
Jack was not really in the best mood and was much more into the tractors and throwing rocks and didn't want much to do with the pumpkins. It didn't surprise us that he was into the tractors but he's been so interested in pumpkins, even naming them as we drive by homes in our neighborhood. Oh well, I guess it isn't all that surprising that in the mind of a little boy the tractor will always take precedence in a tractor vs pumpkin competition!
It was a fun evening, even though we had one tantrum when Jack didn't get on the tractor because mommy wanted a picture. But that signaled the end of our night!

handsome brothers | Johns Creek Child Photographer
What a fun session. These are the handsome boys of one of my closest friends here in Atlanta. Like I've said before, I'm so honored when friends ask for a session- it really means so much to me that they like my work and would trust me with something as important as their family photos!
Brendan and Colin are such great boys and did everything I asked of them even though they didn't always think my jokes were funny:) It doesn't hurt that they're so photogenic, either.
Thank you so much, Amy & Brian, for asking me to do this session for your guys! I loved it!
Morning Routine & Kid in the Kitchen | Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Atlanta GA Lifestyle Photographer
My next installment for our lifestyle blog circle group!
I combined two of our topics since I missed last week and these two just worked together for me this time! Here's a glimpse at our morning routine and jack in the kitchen on a typical school morning.
Make sure to visit the websites of the rest of the ladies in our circle (links at bottom of post).
baby girl baptism | Atlanta Family Photographer
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!
Tub Play | Alpharetta Photographer, Atlanta Family Photographer
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!
Garbarge Truck Tuesdays | Johns Creek Family Photographer, Alpharetta Lifestyle Photographer
In true little boy fashion, Jack is crazy about the "biiiiiiii guck" that comes to our house every Tuesday. He hears it coming through the neighborhood and will hurriedly grab my hand and rush me outside to wait for the truck's appearance on our street.
The men that bring the "big guck" down our street are always so nice to honk for jack and wave at him. I was so excited that I was able to capture this moment of him waving to the service man!
It's so much fun to watch this toddler's joy over such a routine occurrence. What a great memory this will be to look back on in the years to come!
precious newborn boy | Alpharetta Newborn Photographer
Precious little Joseph was so sweet during his newborn session. He was 3 weeks old and stayed awake for a lot of the session but did fall asleep long enough for us to gets lots of snuggly sleepy shots. Outside of those, we also got several liftestyle shots with mom and dad.
I really loved meeting this couple and enjoyed all of our conversations during our time together. Mom is a teacher and Dad is a firefighter and both really love the jobs that they do. But even more I could feel the love they have for this new baby boy.
Congratulations, F family, you are already amazing parents and Joseph is so lucky to have both of you!
