Lily Mack’s 7 Mini Milestone Session – Buckhead | Atlanta Childrens Photographer

Children, Families, , ,

Over Memorial Day weekend, I finally got to meet my friends Blair and Art’s little girl, Lily Mack. We met up at their house for her 7-month-old session, and she looked like such a doll in her pink bunny dress — and then mom added tiny pigtails, which I just cannot get over. Lily Mack is one truly happy, curious, and adorable little girl. I had such a fun time interacting with her and their 6-year-old “puppy” Lainey during the session — and LM thoroughly enjoyed snacking on my chalkboard. 😉 Enjoy!

LaBanca Family Session – Dunwoody | Atlanta Family Photographer

Children, Families

Meet the LaBanca family! I met Rebecca a few years ago while doing a Stella & Dot trunk show for her sister. We’ve kept in touch, and I was honored when she contacted me to photograph their new family for some spring photos last week. Baby Sloan is four months old and was such a wonderful little model — she loved looking at the camera! Their dog Coleman is the absolute sweetest big ball of fur I’ve ever seen — and although he wasn’t quite as big of a fan of the camera, he was a trooper nonetheless. We had a great time romping around their front yard and back deck for some photos in the lovely early evening light. Enjoy!

Nora’s Newborn Session – Johns Creek | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

2 CommentsChildren, Families, , ,

Last weekend, I got to spend the morning photographing little newborn Nora, who was 15 days young. Her mom Chelsey is a friend of a friend who I hadn’t seen in years, so it was really fun to catch up and meet her so sweet husband Chaz — and of course  “ooh and ahh” that precious baby girl. It was a very rainy and dreary day when we did their session, but this little lady’s nursery was  full of warmth and joy. I just love that banner over her crib — one of Chelsey’s friends made it for her, which makes it even sweeter. And oh, that tiny tutu — it’s just too much. Enjoy!

Arden Family Holiday Session – Collier Hills | Atlanta Family Photographer

Children, Families, , ,

I recently got to photograph my friend’s sister’s family at a little park in the Collier Hills area. It was beyond freezing that morning (to the tune of 39 degrees), but mom, dad, and the 3 little ones were such troopers. Toward the end of their session, the 4-year-old twins said that they were cold, so we asked them to hold hands… to which they replied “but my other hand is still cold!”. These kids are too cute for words, and it was a fun (very quick, thanks to the cold temps) morning session. And really, does that last photo of the twins not just melt your heart?? Enjoy!
