Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Lincoln

I first worked with Millini and Cedric for their studio maternity session, which can be viewed by clicking here. 

Lincoln was born at DeKalb Medical Center at exactly 42 weeks by family centered cesarean section attended by Dr. Brad Bootstaylor and the SeeBaby midwives. I know this because I was there in the OR to document the entire beautiful experience. His mama was such a trouper and they were so proud to bring him into the studio for his newborn session! 

Because Lincoln was two weeks overdue, much of the skin protecting vernix was gone when he was born. Babies who are born later tend to lose most of their vernix in utero, and tend to peel more after birth. Lincoln was one of those babies. Millini loved his peeling skin because it told a part of his story, and asked that I not completely edit it out. She also wanted to be sure to document his umbilical cord stump as it is the last physical connection between her son and herself. Not everyone likes a photo of the umbilical stump, and that's totally ok! We will talk about your preferences when you arrive for your newborn session if it has not yet fallen off. 

Millini chose a simple white gown from the wardrobe and worked with Margaret to add on makeup services. Cedric wanted to be more casual in a simple white v-neck tee with jeans. Every family is different, and I send a newborn preparation packet with wardrobe suggestions for dad based on his personality and comfort level. I've had dads be most comfortable in a button down with a sport jacket, and others in a simple tee. The most important thing to me is that you feel comfortable and love the way you look and feel. That will translate to your final images. 

Here are some of my favorite images from this long awaited baby boy's newborn session. 

If you're pregnant and looking for a newborn or maternity photographer here in Atlanta, I would love to work with you to create images that you will love for a lifetime. Be sure to view this short 1.5 minute film to hear about my philosophy and see how I work in the studio so you can determine if I'm the right fit for you.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | All the tiny things

I spend some time during my newborn sessions capturing all the little details of your sweet baby. All the tiny things that make up the whole. Their little fingers, cute little noses, pouty lips, and long eyelashes. I want my clients to have these memories for a lifetime and to be able to leaf through their album when their baby is all grown up and remember exactly how they looked. The rest of my newborn sessions are focused on you with your new baby and portraits of your baby in naturally occurring poses. You won't see any babies being put into contorted positions in a basket or resting their chin on their hands in my studio. 

I have limited availability remaining for 2015, and would love to work with your family to create beautiful images and heirloom artwork for your home! If you'd like to see what I'm like to work with, watch this short 1.5 minute film which all of my clients agree captures me perfectly.
