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.

Robson Family Summer Session – Buckhead | Atlanta Family Photographer

Photographing friends will simply never, ever get old. The Robson Family was picture perfect during the session at their home this summer, and their kiddos are just too cute for words. And even though it was about 900 degrees outside, you’d never have known it! How does Kate’s hair always look so good? 🙂 It was so sweet watching big brother love on his little sister. I look forward to watching them grow up together!

P Family Spring Session – Ardmore Park | Atlanta Family Photographer

What an honor it was to photograph this lovely lady and her family! Jenny is a talented fellow photographer, and she actually shot our family photos when Leighton turned 6 months. I was so in love with the work she did for our family, and I hope that I was able to return that favor with their spring mini session! Posting tonight is extra fun because they just came home from the hospital with their newest addition, another little BOY! Huge congrats to the P family!

Leona’s 6 Month Milestone Session – Ardmore Park | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing Leona and her parents (and pups!) just after she was born. It’s hard to believe that her 6 month session snuck up on us so quickly! We met up at one of my favorite in-town spots, Ardmore Park in Buckhead, and she was just an absolute doll. I mean… those eyes of hers!! Being in front of the camera ended up being a little too much for her, and she dozed off just as we were finishing up. I can’t blame her, though — it’s hard being so cute!

Trantow Family Spring Session – Dunwoody | Atlanta Family Photographer

I had to laugh when Ansley emailed me about booking a session for her family this spring. She warned me that getting a photo with her two boys actually smiling or looking at the camera at the same time was like trying to get a photo of Big Foot. HA! Their boys were absolutely darling, and we had such a fun afternoon at the Dunwoody Nature Center. And to make things a little more exciting, she let me in on a little secret, which we incorporated into the end of their session. They later announced their news to the world with a big arrow pointing to the empty spot on the bench (last photo) — saved for baby #3! Congrats, Trantow family!TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-1TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-2TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-3TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-4TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-5TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-6TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-7TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-8TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-9TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-10TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-13TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-11TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-12TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-14TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-15TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-16TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-17TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-18TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-19TrantowFamilySpring-MHPblog-20
