Atlanta Baby Photographer | Mommy & Me Sessions Event

The Mother's Day Sessions are now open to the public! We opened booking to our existing clients last week, and are already 50% sold out of our spots. Our booking calendar is now open to everyone and spots are still available on both April 23rd and April 30th.

A few important notes!

1) Sessions are for mothers and their children only. Babies should be at least 8 weeks old, with no upper age limit. If your oldest baby is 12, they're NOT too old!  If you have multiple children, bring them all to participate! There is no limit to the number of your children. We'll talk about if you want individual images with each of your children in your gallery or prefer to have everyone together. If you are a same sex couple, this is for one mom. 

2) Professional makeup application is complimentary! You'll need to arrive 35 minutes BEFORE your scheduled time slot. If you are late, our makeup artist will not be able to accommodate you. If you don't want makeup application, feel free to skip it or ask for very light makeup. Tips are not suggested or expected. 

3) If you're pregnant with an older child, you're welcome to participate. If you're pregnant with your first baby, you'll need to contact us about booking a maternity session instead as this is not designed to be a maternity session. 

4) You can opt to dress casually (jeans and white t-shirt) or dress it up a bit! A What to Wear style guide will be emailed out to you in advance of the session. 

5) 50% is due to book with the remainder due April 9, 2017. You can also opt to pay in full at booking.

Atlanta Baby Photography | 100 Days Old

Amy contacted me to ask if I had any availability to photograph her son at 100 days old. I offer studio milestone sessions to capture your baby at the times in their life you want to remember. I mostly see babies in when they are sitting unassisted (usually between 6-9 months) and then again at age 1. 

In Amy's culture, the milestone of being 100 days old  is celebrated, and I think it's just the neatest thing! I was not prepared for what a big boy Axel was - he was already in 6-9 month clothing! He was the sweetest little chub and since he was still too little to sit unassisted or lift his head up for very long, I suggested that Amy be in the photos to hold him.  Amy hadn't brought anything to wear, so we picked out a dress for her from the studio wardrobe. She also chose a sweater romper for Axel to wear for some of his images. 

Axel fell asleep in his mommy's arms towards the end of the session, so I took that opportunity to take some images of him sleeping soundly away.

Amy was a bit reluctant to participate in the session at first since she did not want photos of herself but after she saw them, she was so happy she was in them. Photos of your baby are important. How else will you truly remember how little they were in your arms? How they snuggled up against your shoulder or clutched your arm? You are their safe place, and years from now they will cherish the images they have with you holding them. Children know their parents love them. Give them the gift of images that illustrate your relationship and how much you love them! 

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. I can't wait to meet you!

Atlanta Family Photographer | Mommy and Me

It's no secret that the mother-daughter relationship can be complicated. And it's also no secret that it's incredibly special. I have two little girls of my own, and while there are some days that are incredibly frustrating as I navigate mothering them, the sweet moments, kisses, and cuddles more than negate those. 

Photos of you with your children are so important. Photos of you loving your children and holding them close are important. Your children will always know how much you love them, but there's something about being able to hold a photograph and see the moment in the picture. Not just for your children, but for you too. Someday we'll be old and gray and our children will have children of their own, and we might have forgotten how small they were when they were three. How wild their curly hair was in the wind, and how we cherished the extremely rare moments they sat still enough for us to hug! 

Real and authentic moments are what I look for during your family session. I may ask your child if they want to go give you a hug or tickle you, but I will not ask them to hold a pose, look at my camera, cock their head, and say cheese. That is not who your children are. I want to capture them EXACTLY as they are, and in natural moments with you - having fun, loving each other the way families do. 

I'd love to work with you and your family! Watch this short 1.5 minute film to see what I'm like to work with - every client states that it depicts me perfectly. I will help with your session planning every step of the way and make the entire experience seamless and stress free for you. Contact me today to begin planning your session. I can't wait to meet you!

Atlanta Family Photographer | the perfect moments

My Atlanta family sessions aren't just about getting that "perfect" family photo. Perfection is in the stolen moments. It's in the secrets whispered between mother and daughter, and the harder to come by hugs from your almost three year old who never.stops.running. It's remembering how perfectly your little girl fit in your arms and the smell of her freshly washed hair. My photos are about capturing your love in real life. Let's schedule a session with your family today!
