Atlanta Family Photographer | Arden is 3 months!

I last worked with Claire and Antonio for their field maternity session, which can be viewed by clicking here. I was so excited to hear from them after their sweet little girl, Arden was born, and scheduled them for a three month family session in the studio. 

When they arrived, Claire had brought the cutest little dress for Arden, and Antonio wanted to borrow one of the shirts from the studio wardrobe. Claire loves the studio wardrobe and chose one of the dresses to wear from it. I provide a styling guide and assistance when requested so if you prefer to pull from your own closets, we'll make sure it's cohesive and gorgeous for your session! 

Antonio is such a doting daddy to little Arden, and the whole family was just so cute together! At three months old, some babies can't quite lift their heads up for long periods of time, so we shoot these sessions with baby in the arms of their parent(s). If a parent just wants to document the milestone and doesn't want to be in the images, we'll work around it by shooting from above while on the floor, or have a parent hold their baby and not photograph the parents' face. I strongly encourage parents to participate though! You will love having these images of yourself with your baby when she heads off to college someday. We can't keep them little forever, but at least we can freeze time in a tangible way with portraits. 

If you're looking for a family photographer, 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 so you can determine if I'm the right fit for you. I can't wait to meet you!

Atlanta Baby Photographer | Calhoun's Fresh 48 at Kennestone Hospital

I'm always honored when clients ask me to return for the birth of their second child! 2017 is a record year for repeat clients with a total of 5 clients welcoming their second babies. I'm so excited to watch their families grows! As a note, 2017 is now fully booked for The Birth Session with some Fresh 48 slots still remaining. Fresh 48 sessions are only available at hospitals within the perimeter and take place during daylight hours before you're discharged to go home. A lot of my clients with older children love to book Fresh 48 sessions so that they can fully enjoy watching the first interactions between siblings and soak in those moments without having to be trapped behind a camera to document it. 

On this January day, I arrived at the hospital and began documenting the day of Calhoun's birth. We moved to their recovery room, and big sister came to meet her new baby brother. It was a surreal experience for me since the last time I had seen big sister was literally the day she was born. It was such a special experience and an honor to be there and document their very first moments as a new family of four.

If you're pregnant and looking for a newborn or maternity photographer, I would love to work with you to create images that you will love for a lifetime.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | New Family of 4

This sweet family drove to my studio from Smyrna for their newborn session. Big sister was such a sweetie, and just as cute as her little brother! I love watching the wonder of older siblings as they notice a new little person in their family, and it's equally as amazing to see how the hearts of the new parents expand to double the love before. As a mother of two little girls, I remember wondering how I would ever be able to love the second just as much as I did my first. How would I ever fairly divide it? I'm here to tell you that you really don't need to worry about it! As soon as that second baby is placed in your arms, the love only multiplies from there. 

This is one of my favorite images from this family's session, and one of theirs too... they loved it so much, in fact, that a large canvas of it now hangs in their home.

Interested in booking a newborn session? Spots fill quickly, so don't wait too long to reserve your spot. I look forward to working with your family and preserving the moments and details you want to remember for a lifetime.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Baby Ella, Fresh 48

I headed to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, GA for Ella's Fresh 48 session. Have you ever seen such a beautiful baby!? I was amazed by her head of hair! Spending time with her parents, Tiffiney and Chee, was a lot of fun and I was able to offer some encouragement to Tiffiney as she navigated breastfeeding. Chee was such an attentive partner and father, and Tiffiney was such a warm and loving mother. The images from Ella's Fresh 48 session are now displayed in her nursery, and also in her baby book. I love when families see the value and importance of documenting their tiny brand new baby … because as parents find out, they change SO fast.
