Ben’s 1 Year Milestone Session – Cumming | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

Mister Ben turned one this summer, and his parents invited me up to their beautiful new home at Lake Lanier for his photo session. They hadn’t even moved in yet, which worked out nicely because it gave me a lot of blank canvases as backdrops… a photographer’s dream! 🙂 Ben is such a happy little guy, and he was one of the best cake-smashers I’ve seen yet! It looked delicious, so I’m not surprised that he dove right in. His bright blue eyes and sweet smile are contagious, and I look forward to seeing how much he grows!

Olivia’s 6 Month Milestone Session – Atlanta | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

I met Olivia’s parents when she was just a bump in her beautiful mama Leslie’s belly last year, and now she’s well on her way to being one! We met up at Leslie’s parents’ home for a morning session in their picturesque backyard, and she was a little angel. She’s such a happy girl with an adorable smile, and it’s been a joy watching her grow over the past 6 months!

Lucy’s 1 Year Milestone Session – Dunwoody | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

I’ve been photographing this babe’s parents (and puppy brother) since well before she was around, and it’s been such an honor to be invited to document her first year of life! Lucy is always such a darling little angel to work with, and her 1st birthday session was no exception! Other than the minor mishap of her giant gold 1 balloon floating off into the distance just as we started shooting, we had a fun time romping around the grounds of the Dunwoody Nature Center one morning earlier this summer. I just adore her big blue eyes, little blonde curls, and happy personality. Happy belated 1st birthday, Lucy! You’re such a sweet treasure and blessing to your parents!

Sally’s 3 Month Milestone Session – Smyrna | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

Miss Sally turned 3 months old this summer, and I had a lovely morning photographing her and her parents at their home. Her nursery was so darling – outfitted with a bit of woodland creatures and soft pink colors. Sally was born on St. Patrick’s Day, so we incorporated a little ceramic clover cup in honor of her special holiday birthdate. I love it when families have sentimental or special items to include in their sessions. And I’m still daydreaming of having an amazing backyard like theirs… I could have stayed there all day! 🙂 sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-1sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-2sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-3sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-4sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-5sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-12sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-6sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-8sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-9sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-10sallyashworth3mos-mhpblog-11

Leighton’s 1 Year Milestone Session – Vinings | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

My baby turned ONE on September 10th. How can that be? I meant to post these over her birthday weekend, but we sort of had a lot going on… 🙂

The past year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and I wouldn’t trade a second for anything in the world. We had the most amazing weekend full of fun celebrations, both with just our little family and with all of our friends and immediate family members. Her circus birthday party was a success and we all had a wonderful time celebrating our little girl. She continually brings so much laughter and joy to our lives, and we look forward to what this next year of toddlerhood will bring! I’m sure it’ll be nothing short of a whirlwind adventure with this little firecracker!

Happy 1st birthday, my baby girl! We love you more than you’ll ever know.
