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!

one year old boy photos | Atlanta Family Photographer

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!

Henry!!! You are the most adorable little boy with a gorgeous mommy and handsome daddy. I met this family at one of my favorite spots in Atlanta and we got some amazing images this evening...the perfectly coordinating wardrobe, a gorgeous family, and a happy little boy made for the most perfect session. I loved meeting the G family and so enjoyed getting to know them and photograph their little family this year. Enjoy these photos from our time together!

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!

sleepy nine day old baby | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

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!

Family Photos by the Lake | Johns Creek Family Photographer

I have to say that this is probably the coolest sessions, scenery-wise that I've done to date! It had been raining all day and we were worried that we'd have to reschedule, which is super difficult with extended family sessions since each family has its own busy schedule. Thankfully, the rain went away JUST in time! 

We met at Buford Dam, which my friend and former co-worker, Angie, had picked for their session. It was beautiful when we toured it a few weeks before the session but we couldn't have planned it on a day with this fog coming off the river if we tried! We also hopped across the street and did a few shots at Lake Lanier. 

Thank you so much, Smith family, for allowing me to capture your family this year and preserve memories with you!

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:)

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!

adorable newborn boy | Sandy Springs Newborn Photographer

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!

Preschool Ballerinas | Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Atlanta, Dance Photographer

For the last 4 years, I have had the pleasure of teaching preschool ballet at our church as an after school elective for the preschool. Each year I have had such a wonderful group of little girls who are so sweet and enthusiastic about being beautiful ballerinas. And this year was no different! I had 7 cuties and we learned ballet through movement, balance exercises, basic ballet moves, and we even learned a couple dances (including a tap dance)!

Our end of year recital occurred this week and was a wonderful evening where we showed off everything that they've learned over the year. The girls were so excited to perform for their parents and I was so proud of the show that they put on! Before the show began, I took the opportunity to take some photos of the girls all dressed up for the big evening. Enjoy!

precious baby boy | Roswell Newborn Photographer

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.

2014 senior Drew is off to the Nascar Technical Institute this fall. He's very excited to make the move to North Carolina to further his studies in car mechanics- such a cool opportunity! I wish Drew the best and I know his entire family is so proud of him! 

Congrats Drew!

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!

adorable brother and sister | Johns Creek Child Photographer

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

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:)

fun family photos | Sandy Springs Family Photographer

I met up with this wonderful family on a perfectly sunny and warm day in late February:) We couldn't have asked for better weather or a more beautiful setting at the grandparents lovely home in Vinings.

On this weekend, the family members traveled from other parts of Georgia, Virginia, and Utah for the occasion of their brother's birthday. Rare for them to all be back together at once but such a great reason. Excitement and fun was definitely in the air as we scheduled the photo shoot just before the birthday party, and they were ready for a great night together.

Thank you, Perkins family, for asking me to capture your family together this year! I loved my time with you all and hope you enjoy your images for many years to come!
