Atlanta Maternity Photographer | Manasa and Shiva

Manasa contacted me in November to reserve her maternity session in the field for mid February. We met on a chilly and windy day at the field, and they were both total troupers! I work very quickly and shoot with two camera bodies with my two preferred lenses rather than switching lenses constantly to be efficient for my clients. Nobody wants to stand out in the cold or heat any longer than necessary. My sessions do not incorporate cheesy poses or props because I want you to look natural and have fun together! I'll give my clients some guided direction if they're a little nervous, but in only takes a few minutes before we're all laughing and having a good time. Being photographed should be an experience that you enjoy, not a painful or awkward one! My entire client experience is designed around this philosophy. I love hearing my clients say, "That was so much fun!" after the session is over, and that's exactly what I strive for. 

We took a couple of quick breaks for Manasa to warm up a little bit, and had a lot of fun. Here are some of my very favorite images from their session! 

I'd love to work with you to create beautiful images of your pregnancy to have forever. My spring and early summer are almost full, so please reserve early in order to secure our time together. Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 30-34 weeks. Contact me today, and let's start planning your session. I can't wait to meet you!

Atlanta Maternity Photographer | An intimate studio session

My maternity sessions are not all done outdoors. I have many clients who choose the studio. Sometimes it's because they aren't outdoor people, and Atlanta can be oppressively hot during the summer! And sometimes it's because they prefer more intimate maternity images. This gorgeous mama and I had so much fun shooting her session in the studio! Erica arrived with her hair and makeup done, and looked absolutely fabulous!

Many clients are nervous about the way they look since the body changes so much during pregnancy. Rest assured, I know exactly how to photograph pregnant mamas at the most flattering and beautiful angles. You may be nervous at the beginning of our session (this is normal!) but I promise to have you laughing and relaxed by the end! If you want to see what the experience of working with me is like before contacting me, just watch this short 1.5 minute film. All of my clients have stated it depicts me perfectly! 

Erica loved many of the options that I have available for mamas, and chose several for her session. We laughed so much and became quick friends.  Doesn't she have the most beautiful baby belly and smile?

Atlanta Maternity Photographer | The beauty of pregnancy

I love to take pregnancy photos for maternity clients here at my natural light studio in Atlanta, Georgia. Women are at their most beautiful when they are pregnant! I encourage my clients to take the time to have their hair and makeup professionally done, and am more than happy to recommend some talented makeup artists.

Maternity sessions are a lot of fun! Studio maternity sessions are perfect for women who want to show off the bare belly or wear more intimate clothing and not have to worry about gawking passerby. In Atlanta, the studio is also a reprieve from the oppressively hot summers and cold winters. 

Clients are often a little bit nervous and worried about feeling silly, but they all end up having the best time. Many other clients are worried that they don't look their best and are uncomfortable in their new pregnant body. It is my job to place my clients in the most flattering angles, and choose the perfect pieces from the studio wardrobe to accentuate the best features. A maternity session wonderful way to take some time out for yourself in the midst of all the business of the showers, getting the nursery ready, and fretting about all those last minute details. Take the opportunity to both pamper yourself and create beautiful images of this incredibly special time in your life!

Contact me today to begin planning your maternity session! I can't wait to work with you and create your perfect session with images to treasure for a lifetime.

Atlanta Maternity Photographer | In the Studio

It was a freezing cold day in Atlanta, but it didn't matter, because this studio maternity session was toasty warm for my pregnant mama. Look how gorgeous and happy she is! I can't wait to meet her little baby boy due at the beginning of January. 

Maternity sessions in the studio are perfect for expectant moms who want intimate images showcasing their pregnant belly. You will absolutely glow in your session, and will have so much fun! If you're worried about being awkward and self conscious, don't be. As a birth photographer in Atlanta, I have seen it all, so various stages of undress don't bother me. All of my clients warn me that they're going to be nervous and uncomfortable before their session, but by the end they tell me how much fun they had. I know it's difficult to embrace your changing pregnant body, especially as a first time mom. I have been there myself with my own two daughters. Some of the changes are fun, others not so much! I am a very warm personality, but not overbearing - and I know exactly how to guide you into flattering poses. Pregnancy is so beautiful - celebrate it! 

I have an exquisite studio wardrobe available to clients to use for their session if they desire. I also strongly recommend that clients take the time to work with a makeup artist, and have some amazing referrals here in the Atlanta area. 

Contact me today to begin planning your maternity session! I offer in studio and on location sessions.

Atlanta Maternity Photography | Amie & Daniel

As a maternity photographer in Atlanta, I want my sessions to reflect my clients' personalities and tastes. Every shoot needs to show who they are as both a couple and as individuals. Since Amie expressed her love for the outdoors, we scheduled their shoot at a local park that they enjoy spending time at. 

Amie & Daniel are expecting a little girl at the end of March, and they were just so sweet together! I love when I have a couple that isn't afraid to be affectionate and goof around. A session should be FUN! 

I know not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera. I set aside some time at the beginning of every session to chat and get to know my clients. Getting comfortable with me first helps them relax, and it shows in my photos! As I tell my clients in my complimentary consultations: as long as everyone is willing to have fun and try new things with my direction, I can produce beautiful images to treasure for a lifetime.

I can't wait to meet Amie and Daniel's sweet baby girl for their lifestyle newborn session after she arrives!
