tiny newborn love | Johns Creek Newborn Photographer

I loved meeting this tiny newborn! 11 day old Vivian was such a lovely baby  I was so excited to see her family again. Her big brother Joseph was one of my very first newborn sessions! I had the opportunity to meet this sweet girl at Fresh 48 hospital session for her family. It was such a special time! Vivian’s mama looks so incredible after giving birth just 11 days ago (it's so not fair!)! I had the best time at our shoot. Newborn sessions have a special place in my heart I can't ever get enough of beautiful new baby features! HUGE congratulations to Alicia, Joshua, and big brother Joseph! Vivian is the perfect addition to your family. I hope these images will help you remember these early days with your little girl <3.

Fresh 48 Hospital Session | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

My first Fresh 48 session! Oh my goodness, this was so special. If you aren't familiar with a Fresh 48, these are in-hospital lifestyle photos that occur within the first 48 hours of baby's birth. I did my own when our Ryan was born in January and couldn't wait to offer this type of session to other families. I am so glad the Forsters were interested! As some of my first clients, it was meaningful to me to meet their sweet newborn Vivian at just 2 days old. I captured a variety of images for this family - hospital details, tiny newborn baby features and candid moments I thought they would want to remember. Fresh 48's will now be competing for my favorite type of session  I am looking forward to more of these in the future! To the Forsters, I hope these images bring back precious memories of the early hours with your baby girl! XOXO

Newborn session overload of our tiny new Ryan!

At over 9 pounds, he's one of the biggest newborns that I've worked with. I thought maybe that would help him sleep deeper but no so much! He was pretty particular about which poses he would go into so I ended up spreading out my time to take his photos over a few days- the benefit and also the downside of having my own newborn model:) I kept wanting to do more! Ryan also was not a fan of the hats or being swaddled tightly but I did end up getting all the shots I wanted- hats and poses. Here are some of my favorites... (and I am still working on our lifestyle and family photos!)...

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.

8 day old baby boy sweetness | johns creek newborn photographer

This tiny baby just oozed sweetness. Barrett, "Bear" as mom and dad call him, was a perfect angel for our session. He snoozed right through posing and then gave us some awake time during the lifestyle shots.

I absolutely LOVED spending the afternoon with the proud mama and daddy and their precious bundle. What was even more special was when we figured out that the same dr who delivered my Jack also delivered Barrett. Such a fun connection!

Thank you, W family, for trusting me with your memories of your tiny baby boy! Such an exciting time and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to get to know you and photograph your family!

This beautiful boy was a dream to photograph. When I arrived he was wide awake and fought falling asleep so hard. I could tell that he didn't want to miss out on whatever was going to happen with a visitor in his house! Once he settled into sleep, he slept so deeply and allowed me to move him into all kinds of adorable poses, wraps, and hats. It was a wonderful session. I loved photographing JD and loved getting to know his mama during this session!

Thank you Melanie and Nate for asking me to capture these precious early days of JD's life. He is a doll baby and I hope you enjoy watching him grow!

seven day old baby brother | Alpharetta Newborn Photographer

Little Maddox's session was just perfect! After our initial booking contact, we figured out that we have lots of mutual connections so I was very excited to meet this family. They were just as wonderful as I expected!

Big brother Logan and big sister Grace were as adorable as they could be. Logan told me all kinds of stories like we had known each other forever and sweet Grace snuggled in my lap during one of Maddox's feeding breaks. Not only that, but they were so proud of their new baby brother. I loved getting to know Erin and Paul and learning more about them.

R family, you are such a wonderful family and I thank you for the opportunity to capture your memories during the addition of your new family member. I hope you are continuing to enjoy life as a family of five!

Oh Miss Aubrey, you are such a beautiful baby! I could just snuggle her all the time. This family was wonderful and I loved getting to know them and capture their family during this exciting time. Big sister Ellie was adorable and so much fun. I absolutely loved my morning with them.

Congratulations on your beautiful new addition, S family! You have two beautiful girls and they are so lucky to have such awesome parents:)

This precious baby boy was so wonderful to photograph. He slept so well and let us get him into all kinds of poses and outfits:) 

Kyle's daddy was the organizer behind this session which I think is so cool! What a proud daddy. As you can see, daddy is a big Detroit Lions fan and had this sweet newborn jersey all ready for his baby boy. 

I enjoyed my time with Kyle and his momma on this morning and loved getting to know their family story as I captured tiny Kyle in photographs. Then I met Kyle's daddy and beautiful older sisters at the end of the session. Such a wonderful family, Kyle is lucky to have you all!

Thank you, Jermaine and Rachel, for allowing me to photograph these early days of your newest family member. I loved our session and these images so much (some of my favorites to date!) and I hope you will treasure them for many years to come!

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. 

Lucas Sneak Peek | Roswell, Atlanta Newborn & Baby Photographer

Just HAD to get a quick peek up from my session with sweet little Lucas today! Such a little love, sweet, tiny, and sleepy- he was just perfect for our session! I loved my time with him today and also loved spending time catching up with his parents during the session. Enjoy this quick look and I'll be back to post more very soon!
