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!

fun family of 4 | Johns Creek Family Photographer

This family was so much fun to photograph. I met them for the first time at our session and they were so easy to talk to, great senses of humor, and all around lovely people! They really enjoyed each other's company, which I love to see that with families- It just warms my heart:) And I really think that comes through in their images. 

Love the variety of backdrops at this location that we used and the perfect weather made it that much better!

Thank you, Tenbrink family, for allowing me to capture your family. I truly enjoyed it and absolutely love all of the images from your session! 

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:)

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!

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!

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

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:)
