Atlanta Maternity Photographer | Whitney in the field

When Whitney contacted me to book her maternity session, she knew she wanted to shoot in the field. She was thrilled to be expecting a little boy, and wanted to document her pregnancy since this baby will be her only child. 

Whitney came to the studio with her own mother for her maternity fitting two weeks before her session, and we chatted about all things pregnancy and childbirth, and then started going through wardrobe selections.  Whitney was excited to use one of the flower crowns in the studio and chose two dresses from the studio wardrobe. Fresh flower crowns are also an option as I have a couple of fantastic local resources available to clients to have one made for their session! 

Our session together was so much fun! Whitney was a great sport and told me to have her do anything that would make a beautiful image. At the end of our time together, I asked if she'd be game for lying on the ground. She said, "I'll do whatever you ask because I trust you!" My favorite kind of answer - creativity license makes for the BEST and most fun sessions. When I have a maternity session with just mom participating, we don't have couples photos and as much help to get down on the ground and back up - I remember all too well what it was like trying to get up and down with a pregnant belly.  

Whitney loved her images and chose several for wall art in her home and to gift to her mother and grandmother. Here are a few of my favorites - isn't she absolutely gorgeous?! 

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. 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. I can't wait to meet you!

Atlanta Maternity Photographer | Happiness matters

When Myka contacted me at the beginning of the summer to ask about a maternity shoot, I was excited! Myka is the mastermind and entrepreneur behind WAX Atlanta, BLINK Brow Bar, and BUFF Nail Bar, which is over by the Krog Street Market. She also has one of the coolest lifestyle blogs over at HighBrow Hippie. I've been a client at Wax almost since it opened, and I can't recommend the salon highly enough. If you're in Atlanta, definitely go and check them out for your pampering or waxing needs and then head over to the Krog Street Market for a bite to eat! 

Myka's maternity shoot was ... in a word, FUN. Exactly how a pregnancy photoshoot should be. I'm not about the forced smiles or the fake cheesy poses where you look uncomfortable or awkward. I want to capture your pregnancy glow, and your real happiness and laughter. This is how you should remember one of the most special times in your life. I want my clients to look at their images and smile. Myka did just that when she viewed her images in the studio today, because she remembered exactly what her partner had said that she was laughing about and how happy she felt in that moment. This, my friends, is what photography is about for me. Emotional connection and powerful images to turn those happy memories into a tangible piece of history to hold onto forever. And when your baby is 5 years old, you can show them how happy you were when you were pregnant with them and how much they were loved and wanted before you had even held them in your arms. 

Ready to book your maternity session? Indoor studio sessions are also offered for those who don't like the outdoors or want a more private location. Contact me today to begin planning your session, and watch this short 1.5 minute film to see what the experience of working with me is like. I can't wait to work with you!

Atlanta Maternity Photographer | Waiting on baby girl

This couple was so much fun to work with, and mama borrowed her dress from my studio wardrobe which is available to all clients. My studio wardrobe is carefully curated and I have personally chosen every piece in it. Many clients are surprised to see that the majority of the studio clothing isn't maternity clothing but just has the room to accommodate a growing belly!

We met in the field that I love to shoot in just before sunset, and I enjoyed capturing their natural interaction. I can't wait to meet their little girl when they bring her to the studio for their newborn session sometime next month after she arrives! 

My maternity sessions are about the love and connection that you and your partner share as you anticipate your new arrival. I love being able to document such a special time in the lives of my clients. Are you expecting? You will only be pregnant with this baby once. Document it! 

When this couple came into the studio a week later to view their images, they chose the image on the left for their wall art in their home. My maternity sessions include a piece of tangible and beautiful artwork for your home, which is so important to have. As a full service photographer, I want to ensure my clients walk away from their experience with something in their hands to treasure for a lifetime in addition to archival digital files.  

Summer is almost completely full for maternity session availability, so don't delay contacting me to begin planning yours. Watch this short 1.5 minute video to see what it's like to work with me. I can't wait to meet you!

Atlanta Maternity Photographer | Heather

Have I mentioned how much I adore maternity sessions and capturing pregnancy photos for expectant mothers in the Atlanta area? Motherhood portraiture has a special place in my heart.

My natural light studio is a warm and cozy space, and all my clients have remarked on how serene and comfortable it is. It doesn't take long to warm up to the camera with the way I shoot. If you haven't seen what I'm like in action during sessions, I encourage you to watch this short 1.5 minute film. Every single client who has scheduled a session with me and seen the film has informed me that it perfectly captures my personality and the way I work. 

This is Heather, one of the doulas behind the Sweet Blessings Doula team,  expecting her fourth child. She's waiting to find out if she has another son or daughter. I dressed Heather in several studio wardrobe pieces through her session, and I can't wait to share more from her beautiful session soon! 

Are you ready to create beautiful images of your pregnancy to treasure and share with your baby when they're older? Contact me to reserve your maternity session. I can't wait to meet you!
