Little Mr. Carter and his nursery were just too cute for words during his session last month. He was so tiny, yet had such a full head of hair and was so alert! Mom and dad were overjoyed with their new bundle, and it was an absolute pleasure documenting this special time for them.
Kate and Brian had one request for their maternity session, and it was fun photos. Easy enough, right? From the variety of backdrops at the Old Fourth Ward Park, to the dad-to-be hanging upside down on playground equipment, to their pup Waldo being so adorably sweet, I think we accomplished the mission. I’ve had so much fun during this season of shooting because it’s given me the opportunity to explore parts of our city that I’ve not yet had the chance to visit. I look forward to coming back when baby Awsumb arrives soon! Also – how great is their last name?
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing my dear cousin Alex and her three beautiful, blonde babies… well, they’re hardly babies anymore. They are in 5th, 2nd, and 1st grades — it’s hard to believe they’re so big already! We played around on Oglethorpe University’s campus in Brookhaven, and it’s such a lovely spot. This is one of my favorite things about my photography business — having the opportunity to spend more time with my loved ones while capturing special memories for them.
I’ve been so excited for this session with parents-to-be Kristina and Mike. Why? Maybe because I’ve been friends with Kristina since the very beginning of our freshman year when we lived on the same dorm hall — and I’ve known Mike since college as well. Maybe because they’re adorable and so sweet and I just can’t wait to meet their little bundle of joy, Molly June, who is due in less than 2 weeks.
We shot their maternity session over on the Westside of Atlanta, which they (and I) love thanks to the great restaurants, shops, and fun vibe. I remembered the “Atlanta Made” wall mural/sign for a local shop over in that area and suggested doing some photos there… kinda perfect for their Atlanta-made baby, right? Equally as perfect was a trip over to Jeni’s Ice Cream, which has been Kristina’s big-time craving throughout her pregnancy. Mike was really in the zone with his ice cream cone, and it was so much fun working with them (and eating some Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet, too!). Enjoy!
I had the pleasure of meeting Katy about 4 years ago when I started working as an Independent Stylist with accessories company Stella & Dot. Katy is a fellow Atlanta Stylist, and I just adore her. She and her handsome hubby have two little boys, and they’re now expecting their third… and it’s a girl! I was so excited to work with them on a family maternity session at their home last weekend. The boys were so sweet and fun, and I just can’t get over how much little Jack looks like his mom. It’s pretty obvious that little Emmy is going to be very, very loved when she arrives later this summer!
