George’s Newborn Session – Atlanta | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

I didn’t meet George and his family until I arrived at their home for his newborn session this spring, but I could immediately tell he’s one lucky little guy. His big sister was obviously very proud of her new role, and she was the most adorable helper. George was nice and sleepy for most of the session, but as soon as he awoke, big sister was there with a bottle of milk for him. There’s nothing like sibling love, even from the very beginning. 🙂 Welcome to the world, little guy!

Sadie’s 2 Year Milestone Session – Marietta | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

I’ve been photographing Sadie since just after she was born, and I simply cannot believe she’s already TWO! How does time manage to pass so quickly? Her mom Anna is great about coming up with fun themes or ideas for Sadie’s photo sessions, so it’s always a treat to see what she’s thought of each time. For her 2 year photos, we gave her some birthday cupcakes, but she was much more interested in checking out the nearby sandbox. 🙂 The big hit was painting with neon squirt paints on a giant sheet, and then we finished up with a big bubble bath. Here’s to another wonderful year for Miss Sadie!SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-1SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-2SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-3SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-4SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-5SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-6SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-7SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-8SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-9SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-10SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-11SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-12SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-13SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-14SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-15SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-16SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-17SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-18SadieKing2yr-MHPblog-19

Baby C’s Newborn Session – Smyrna | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

I met baby C’s dad in college while studying abroad one summer, but I haven’t seen him in probably 10 years. So needless to say, it was a blast from the past when he and his wife asked me to do their second son’s newborn photos! Baby C’s big brother was so proud and adorable, and we had a great time playing around in their shared bedroom while baby brother had his photo debut. What a fun surprise to have the honor of photographing a long-lost friend’s family so many years down the road!

Charlie’s Newborn Session – Virginia Highlands | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

I so enjoy having the opportunity to photograph a glowing mama-to-be and a proud daddy-to-be, but it’s even better when I finally get to capture the love between them and their sweet new baby! Caroline and John welcomed little mister Charlie in March, and what a doll he was at his newborn session. His puppy sister Abby got in on the action as well, which is always necessary when there’s a pet in the family. 🙂 It’s extra special when the parents want to include a sentimental item in their photos. In this case, a family member had made Charlie a really neat quilt featuring children’s book imagery — what a fun treasure! Welcome to the world, Charlie!

Ashley’s Maternity Session – Blowing Rock, NC | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

There’s not much I enjoy more with this business than having the honor of capturing precious memories for those I love and adore. Our dear friends Ashley and Adam are expecting their first baby in just a couple months, and I’m thrilled that we get to welcome them to the “baby club.” Our friends lovingly call them “Mac and Cheese,” and we’re all so excited to meet Baby Big Mac! While recently on vacation in Blowing Rock, NC for a wedding, we snuck off to the beautiful Chetola Resort for some maternity photos. The grounds were lovely and full of inspiration, but I think our favorite spot was a field of tall grass that was hidden behind trees across the road from the onsite lake. The weather was perfect, Adam was a trooper, and Ashley was absolutely glowing. We also did a quick session at their home after returning back to Atlanta, and I can’t wait to share images from baby’s beautiful nursery soon!
