Aaron’s Newborn Session – Avondale Estates | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

Children, Families, Uncategorized

When my friend Courtney asked me about photographing their newest addition, I happily made my way over to their beautiful neighborhood in Avondale Estates to meet Aaron. He’s squishy and has dark features — it’s amazing how different he looks from his older brother as a newborn. With a busy new life adjusting to having two babies, they opted to do a more lifestyle session that was really laid back and casual. We popped the kids in the stroller and walked down to their neighborhood park, which I am 100% jealous of. After playing in the leaves and making our way through the park, we headed home for some solo shots of baby boy. I love the faces he made at the camera – so expressive! And I caught dad and big brother on the couch watching fire trucks on tv with their feet propped up… typical boys, right? 🙂 Big congrats to the S family — you guys are doubly blessed with amazing little boys!

Anna and Eric’s Engagement & Sadie’s 2.5 Year Milestone Session – Whittier Mill Park | Atlanta Family Photographer

Uncategorized

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Sadie’s milestone sessions since she was just 3 months old. It’s hard to believe she’s now 2 and a 1/2! Eric recently popped the question to her mom Anna, so we decided that this session was the perfect time to squeeze in some engagement portraits as well. We met up at one of my favorite local spots, Whittier Mill Park, which is a hidden gem in the NW part of Atlanta. We ran down the path that leads to the railroad tracks, we danced and twirled in the grass by the old brick tower, we read “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” in Christmas jammies, and basically just had a lovely time. I’m so happy for Anna, Eric, and Sadie and wish them all the best in the coming year as they become an official family of three!

Ashley’s Maternity Session, Part 2 – Buckhead | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

1 CommentFamilies, Uncategorized

After returning from our vacation to Blowing Rock, NC, where we shot the majority of Ashley’s maternity portraits, we finished up with some at their Buckhead home. She did a phenomenal job decorating the perfect space for Ellis, from the grey/mint/navy color combo, to the wooden growth chart that her friend made, to the sweet little arrow details peppered throughout the room. Ashley and Adam made my job so easy, and it was an honor to get to capture this time of excitement and anticipation as they await the arrival of their baby boy. Ellis will be here in just about a month, and I cannot wait to meet him!

Lauren’s Maternity Session – Roswell | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

Uncategorized

Just before Christmas, I met up with Lauren and David (and their adorable, spunky puppy Rocky) in downtown Roswell for their maternity portraits. I’ve never had the opportunity to wander around this adorable little downtown area until then, and it was such a delight! They were waiting to find out if their baby was a girl or boy, which is always exciting! I’m a bit behind on blogging sessions, as they welcomed their sweet daughter Avery into this world a few weeks ago… and I can’t wait to share their newborn session soon!

Leighton’s Splish Splash Session – Vinings | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

Uncategorized, , , ,

Splish splash… I couldn’t resist photographing Leighton taking a bath! We are about to start renovating our master bathroom, which includes replacing our soaking tub with a large glass shower (eek — so very excited about this!). We haven’t ever bathed Leighton in this tub, but the room has great natural light, and I had been picturing this sweet scene in my mind for months. So before my husband takes a sledgehammer to our bathroom, we gave our sweet girl an afternoon bubble bath, complete with rubber duckies. I’m so excited to offer this option to my clients for their little ones’ mini milestone sessions this year, too!
