Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Big Sister

As the mother of two sweet girls that are just 22 months apart, one of my favorite things about getting to be their mom has been watching the relationship develop between the two of them. I still clearly remember the moment that Lily met her little sister for the first time - the look of awe on her face as she held her for the first time and feeling like my heart would burst when I saw them together. I am fortunate enough to have a photo of that moment, so it is a memory forever frozen in time, and will be one of my favorite images for the rest of my life. 

I love when older siblings come into the studio to participate in newborn sessions, and my goal is to capture their excitement and amazement over their brand new baby as well as the natural interactions between them.

This little cutie pie was so great with her little brother. I was actually there in the hospital room with her family when she met him for the very first time as part of their Fresh 48 session at Northside Hospital. 

She arrived ready to have fun at the newborn session a couple of weeks later, and was so excited to participate. This big sister just loved holding baby brother and playing with his hands. It was so precious how she talked softly to him and held his hand in hers. 

I always start with sibling and whole family shots as soon as baby is sound asleep so that the older kids can be on their merry way and go and play once we finish up with them . We all know toddlers don't have the longest attention span, so I work hard to make newborn sessions as fun,  painless, and easy as possible for all involved! 

Interested in a newborn or Fresh 48 session? Contact me today to reserve your session! If you'd like to see what it's like to work with me, watch this short 1.5 minute film - all of my clients say it depicts me perfectly and gives a great idea of what to expect.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Baby Michael

I was so excited to see Erica again! She was last in studio for a beautiful intimate maternity session, and we had a lot of fun choosing her favorite dresses from the studio wardrobe. Baby Michael was such a sweet little baby, and he slept for the entire time! He is by far my fastest newborn yet, as we wrapped up in just under 90 minutes. 

Many mothers think that they only want photos of their newborn and don't want to be in them. You may feel the same way after having given birth recently. Your body is in a strange sort of limbo, and you may not feel your best. Rest assured though, that even if you don't feel beautiful - you are. The glow of your new motherhood will be apparent. All you need to do is admire your baby and snuggle them, and I'll take care of the rest. Because when your baby leaves for college, the images of you holding them are the ones you will reach for to remember how small they felt cradled in your arms. Every client that I had who felt a little bit reluctant to be in the photos told me after our session when they viewed their images that they were so grateful to have those memories in tangible form forever. Don't worry: my sessions are a blend of your baby alone and also with you and your partner so it's the best of both worlds!

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | The truth about photography

Lily Sophia Photography specializes in newborn, baby, maternity, and birth photography in Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding areas.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | 13 days new

Beauty is in the simple. You won't find me putting newborns into unnatural contorted positions or distracting from their beautiful features and sweet details with heavy props. Instead, you'll find me making my babies cozy and comfortable. I focus on capturing their sweet details: their shock of newborn hair, their little lips, noses, and fingers, and their tiny little toes. I capture what you will want to remember as you leaf through your album when they aren't your tiny baby anymore. 

If you are interested in a session, it is recommended that you reserve during your second trimester to secure your spot. I only accept a limited number of clients per month due to the amount of personalized time and attention each of my clients enjoy. Please contact me for more information and reserve your session in my calendar. I can't wait to meet you!

Atlanta Family Photographer | Baby Aevan, 10 days new

While I love naturally posed newborn images as they focus on the tiny details of babies, I firmly believe lifestyle is most important. So many new parents think that they want only posed photos and later regret their choice. Lifestyle is important because it documents this time in your life as a family. It documents your life in real life, as it unfolds. It puts YOU, the parent, into the photos. When your baby isn't so little anymore, you will want to remember how it felt to hold them in your arms. You will want to remember how tiny their little head was cradled in your hands. You will want to remember the joy and contentment you felt as a new little family. And you can do that with photos. I absolutely love what I do as an Atlanta photographer and am proud to offer my clients truly beautiful products to display their images in their homes. Make your memories tangible.

I'd love to work with you to plan a session for your family! I accept a limited number of clients per month, so head on over to my contact page to request more information and reserve a session!

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Baby Aevan

I met this little guy at 10 days old. He was just the sweetest little snuggle bug. He was born in a homebirth in the water with Dawning Life Midwifery services. I offer more organic and natural "posed" newborn photos in conjunction with lifestyle. Your newborn doesn't need a bunch of props distracting from them or to be folded into unnatural and uncomfortable positions.  Come back next week to see the lifestyle photos from this session.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Baby Max, 5 days old

I was so excited to see Sydney and Brock again after their maternity session and meet their 5 day old baby Max! Max was born at North Fulton Hospital in Alpharetta, Georgia with the ISIS midwives. They traveled from Marietta for their session, and we spent a couple of hours together. Max was such a good sleeper, super snuggly,  and so adorable! I loved working with this brand new little family to capture the sweet moments that pass by in the blink of an eye.
