Kate’s Maternity Session – Old Fourth Ward Park | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

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?

Kristina’s Maternity Session – Westside | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

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!
