Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Baby smiles and little toes

in

Sometimes I get lucky during newborn sessions and catch the hint of a smile. I know it's supposedly "just gas" but I'm not sure I really believe that. I think babies might actually have something to smile about… after nine months of being inside, they're out, and have snuggled with their loving parents pretty much non stop. What's not to smile about?

During my sessions, I focus on the little parts that make your baby who they are. Things like their teensy little toes (trust me, they are TINY… and you will wonder how in the world baby feet can grow as fast as they do), their little fists, eyelashes, and sweet pouty lips. You may think you can memorize your baby's every feature with the hours upon hours you spend staring at them in those first few weeks but I'm here to tell you, the mind's memory fades and is not accurate. I know this myself with my two little girls. I can't tell you how many times I've looked at their newborn pictures and marveled at how different they look than what I remember. I'm so glad that I have their newborn days preserved with a memories that won't ever fade away and that I can share those with them. It is my honor to be able to give new families the same gift, and the driving force behind my passion for newborn photography and why I shoot the way I do.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Baby Michael

in

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 Moments that Matter

in

Newborn sessions here in my Atlanta, Georgia natural light studio aren't just about posed photos. While I do include some organic and natural posing on the beanbag, the moments that are most important are the moments between you and your new baby. These moments are pure. They can't be posed. They're what you're going to look at years from now, and when you do: you're going to feel the same overwhelming emotions as you did when the image was captured. That is the point of photography, and the goal I have for every session that I shoot. 

While I appreciate the artistic effort that goes into creating photos of babies with their hands propping up their chin, it's not something I shoot here in the studio. I believe that babies should be captured just as they are. Their tiny little fingers, nose, lips, flaky skin, and pouty sleeping lips. Babies are so beautiful in their own right. I don't distract from that beauty and innocence with heavy props or themes. As a mother of two daughters, my most treasured images are the ones I have with my sweet baby girls in my arms, just as we were in that moment. This is what I provide to clients, because that is what I love.

I adore the admiration and love emanating from this mother as she takes in every detail and feature of her beautiful baby's face. For those of us who have experienced motherhood, you know what I'm talking about. You can't get over the fact that you made something this beautiful and that this tiny little person is yours. You also can't quite believe after 9 months of waiting, they're finally in your arms. The responsibility is humbling, exciting, and overwhelming all at once. For those who are expecting and haven't experienced motherhood just yet… just you wait. The best is yet to come. 

If you're expecting and would like to reserve your newborn session, please contact me today! It's never too early, and we'll have lots of fun planning as you wait for your baby to arrive. My sessions are warm, laid back, and relaxed. You won't feel rushed or pressured, and your baby will lead the way for how the session unfolds.
