Evie’s One Year Session | Atlanta Family Photographer

Children, Families

I first met Evie and her parents when they booked me for her newborn session last year. It was a dreary morning, but we had the best time getting to know each other during their in-home session. It’s been such a pleasure watching Evie grow while photographing her throughout the Baby’s First Year package, and I’m sad that this first year is already over. It’s truly amazing how quickly time flies, and I know that’s the case even more so for her parents. Happy 1st birthday, Evie! You are so loved.

A Special Nashville Session — Davis is Six Months | Atlanta Family Photographer

Children, Families

When one of your best girls asks if you’ll photograph her daughter’s first year (newborn, six months, and one year), and they happen to live in another state… you of course get in the car and start driving! It seems like just yesterday that Davis was born, and now here she is — sitting up and giving the cutest little poses and smiles to the camera. And that full head of hair and beautiful blue eyes? Too much. 🙂 It was absolutely freezing the morning we were supposed to shoot, and we even woke up to a light snow cover on the ground. So needless to say, we opted to shoot at their home instead of outdoors. I love when I have the opportunity to shoot at clients’ homes because it incorporates the most special place that they’ve created together. I mean, look at this beautifully lit corner of the nursery — absolutely perfect for highlighting the love between a mama and her baby.

Fall Session in Buckhead | Atlanta Family Photographer

How about those golden leaves?? The morning we shot this family session, it was cold, wet, and dreary… but the upside is that those beautiful fall leaves really popped against the cloudy sky. I love shooting at this park for the variety of backdrops and the pretty stone walls and bridge… and the trees in the fall and spring never disappoint! I’ve had several grandparents join in on family sessions this fall, and I always enjoy being able to include them in some shots because there is such a loving, joyful dynamic between them and their grand babies. It’s been neat watching the K family grow over the past couple years, and Cade actually turned one the day after this session. Oh, how time flies!

Six Month Milestone with Sawyer | Atlanta Family Photographer

Children, Families

I’ve said it time and time again, but six months is one of my very favorite ages to photograph. Still full-on baby, but they are starting to come into their own personality and are usually SO smiley! Sawyer was no exception when I traveled to their home for her six month milestone session at the end of the year. It looks like she’ll be a red head like her beautiful mama and big sis, which I have a soft spot for, since my own little girl was a surprise red head. 🙂 With a simple white backdrop, we were able to achieve a clean studio look inside their home, and I love it because it allows the viewer to focus on that sweet baby. The G family conveniently has a playground/park in their neighborhood, so we headed outside for some family shots as well. They never disappoint with the love that they show for each other, and I have so enjoyed getting to photograph them with their newest addition over the past six months.

Apple Pie is One | Atlanta Family Photographer

Children, Families

As I’ve said before, I love a good nickname for babies… I mean, we jokingly call our daughter LL Cool Hayes and our twins on the way are affectionately called “Cake & Ice Cream.” 🙂  Miss Claire was nicknamed “Apple Pie” while she was in mama’s belly, and I couldn’t help but continue to reference that “sweet” name during her one year session this past fall. These sisters were so cute together, and they have one lucky set of parents who get to watch them grow up together.
