Kristina’s Maternity Session – Whittier Mill Park | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

I’ve been friends with Kristina and Mike since college, so being asked to photograph their growing family over the past couple of years is always extra special. They’re expecting their second baby, a little boy, in late March. We recently met up at one of my favorite local spots, Whittier Mill Park, on an overcast Sunday afternoon for some family maternity portraits, and we had so much fun. You would never have known from these photos that it was windy and absolutely freezing cold. Pregnancy looks so good on Kristina — she was simply glowing, and I just loved the top she chose to wear. We even got the most adorable, authentic smiles and giggles from big sister, who has affectionately been known as “Mean Muggin’ Molly” for her usually stoic look when the camera comes out. I think it’s safe to say that this family is more than ready for their little guy to make his debut next month!

Sara’s 1 Year Milestone Session – Marietta | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

Sara turns one this month, so I went to her family’s home to shoot her milestone session last weekend. Those tiny front teeth popping through are just the cutest, and she is such a happy little babe. It’s a good thing I brought my little white rocker to contain her for some solo shots, because she is on to go as soon as she’s on the floor. I’m sure she’ll be full-on walking in no time… and then there’s no turning back! 🙂 Happy 1st birthday, Miss Sara!

Dickinson Family Mini Session | Ardmore Park – Atlanta Family Photographer

I met up with this sweet daddy/daughter duo last weekend after having to reschedule twice (thanks to bad weather and my illness), and I’m so glad I finally got to meet them! Miss Gracelyn had just woken up from a nap in the car and was a little shy at first, but she brightened right up and was such a little sweetheart. She refused her furry white coat, even though it was freezing out, but you’d never have known it by her smile. During our session, Ryan told me that he sometimes wished he could just freeze time because she’s growing too fast. It’s clear what a great bond these two have, and I’m honored to have been asked to capture this time in their lives for them.

Olivia’s 1 Year Milestone Session – Peachtree City | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

I met Olivia’s parents (and pups!) for her mom Leslie’s maternity session back in the winter of 2015. I’ve since gotten to photograph and watch this little lady grow from a tiny newborn into this beautiful and curious one year old. It’s such a joy to follow along on this journey of parenthood with my clients, and this family is no exception! Cheers to a wonderful year, Olivia!

Beau’s Newborn Session – Brookhaven | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

Beau was born just before Christmas… talk about a most perfect gift! He was an angel during his session, and his big brother was such a cutie pie. I couldn’t get enough of the fabulous lighting in their master bedroom (or that bed!), so be warned that this is a slight photo overload. 🙂 I could have stayed all day photographing Beau, who seemed quite content to be wrapped up like a baby burrito. Welcome to the world, little guy!
