Chrissy’s One Year Session – Buckhead | Atlanta Family Photographer

Chrissy turned the big ONE in December, and I met up with her and her daddies for a fun little session on the most beautiful (unseasonably warm) winter day… as you can tell by her cute little uncovered piggies! Bare feet are certainly not something you see in a lot of December sessions around here. 😉 She is such a happy girl, and I just loved her little sweaters and matching hair bows. In fact, I went off in search of a red sweater for my own daughter after their session. I had so much fun getting to know Steven and Felipe as we wandered around the park chatting about college football and finding leaves with Chrissy. Happy belated 1st birthday, darling! You are so loved.

Cameran’s Newborn Session – Roswell | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

Cameran joined the world in November, right around Thanksgiving. I first met them a couple years ago when I photographer Lauren’s maternity session for baby #1. It is always such an honor to be asked to come back to photograph a family again, and this time was no exception. Cameran is the second daughter for Lauren and David, and she was covered in hugs and kisses by her big sis throughout my time with them at their home. She was a dream baby — sleepy, calm, and just along for the ride. Enjoy some favorites from this in-home newborn session.

H Family Fall Session – Woodstock | Atlanta Family Photographer

I met the H family for the first time in a hospital room last August just after their sweet little guy, Kieran, was born, and I can’t help but smile when I look back at those Fresh 48 photos and these from their fall session. There is so much joy in this family, and the love and pride that big brother Brooklyn has for Kieran is palpable. I remember photographing them in the hospital, and Brooklyn just could not wait for his turn to hold him — and this time was no different! Capturing the true essence of a family is easy when they’re as easy going and joyful as these folks.

Connor’s 8 Month Studio Session – Park Studios | Atlanta Family Photographer

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… I can’t tell you how much I love photographing my clients in a beautiful, light-filled studio! I typically shoot outdoors (and I love that for different reasons), but I am just in love with the bright, classic, and timeless photos that are the result of shooting at Park Studios in Buckhead. I met of my adorable client families there last week on a very dreary, rainy winter afternoon. I’ll be honest — I was a little worried that the weather was going to make the studio a lot darker than usual and that I’d have trouble getting those light and airy shots that are synonymous with the studio. I did have to up my ISO a lot, but you’d never know otherwise that it wasn’t a beautiful day when we shot these. Ahh, the magic of the camera!

This sweet family is doing a series of milestone sessions for their son Connor’s first year. Since we’d shot his 4 month session outdoors, his mom opted to do his 8 month session at the studio to change things up. I am SO glad she did! We didn’t have to worry about weather issues for this late January session, and they could play and twirl and crawl and cuddle to their hearts’ content — all with a simple, clean, distraction-free backdrop. This family is bursting at the seams with love and joy, and I think we captured just that. I absolutely love these images… especially those hilarious expressions of Connor’s!

L Family Fall Session – Morningside | Atlanta Family Photographer

When Caroline told me her grandmother would be in town from California during their scheduled family session in November, I was thrilled that we’d be able to include her in their portraits. We did this session in the comfort of their beautiful, light-filled home, which was perfect, given the freezing temps outside! It’s not often that we get to include the older generations in our family portraits, so I hope this is something special that they will enjoy for years to come. And would you believe that there is a 90 year age difference between Charlie and his Grammie Do? Whatever she’s been doing to look so young and healthy, I need in my life!
