ATLANTA
How sweet is this little 10 day old newborn? His mama was stunning, and his older brother was equally as cute! I can't wait to share more photos from their session after they've seen the rest!

Sometimes I just love a great black and white edit. It's so timeless, and conveys emotion so well. Sydney and Brock were so fun to work with, and their love for each other was a beautiful thing to witness. We met in the Candler Park area for their maternity session, and wrapped up in less than an hour. Here are a few of my favorites from their maternity session. I can't wait to meet their baby boy when he arrives!

I first met Jessica and her partner, David at Izzy Maternity in Buckhead. She and I started talking and when I learned that David was a photographer, I mentioned that I was a birth photographer here in Atlanta. Jessica decided that she wanted to book my services even though she had a scheduled c-section planned. So many potential clients ask if a c-section will make their birth any less beautiful and the answer is absolutely not!
I could go on, but instead I'll leave you with some kind words from Jessica about her experience working with me.
"My friend and fellow industry professional: Lauren captured the birth of my daughter two weeks ago. My partner and father of my child, David Rams, is also a photographer. So choosing another photographer to be a part of our experience and capture it from their viewpoint was as can be imagined, difficult for him to allow. We liked Lauren's style and felt she would capture our experience in the way we would want. Lauren was there from the moment we checked-in and regardless of her profession, I needed her there as my support in addition to David. I trusted her knowledge and experience. Our friendship with Lauren only grew from that day and both David and I feel like our friendship with her is in more of a special place because of that day and her journey through it all with David, Jansen and myself."

On July 25th, I was at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, GA for a birth and when I finished documenting the birth of Jansen, I headed over to see Crystal and Philip. The last time I had seen them was during their amazing maternity session, and I was so excited to find out if they'd had a little boy or girl since they were waiting until birth to find out.
Verdict: It's a girl! Grace was so beautiful, and so sweet. Her daddy was absolutely enamored with her, and both of her parents were just in awe of her. I love seeing the emotion and the transformation that couples make when they become new parents. It's hard to describe, but you can see a marked difference in their eyes. That's why I love Fresh 48 photography. Capturing those tiny newborn details that fade so very quickly and the quiet moments with your baby.

This was the first one of Crystal and Philip's upcoming sessions with me since they reserved maternity, Fresh 48, and Fresh Baby sessions. I loved Crystal's lace top so much that I added it to my studio wardrobe for future clients! We had a summer storm roll in during our shoot and had to camp out for a bit, but without that storm we wouldn't have had the amazing silhouette photo you'll see further down in this post. Part of being an on location photographer is being flexible to adapt to constantly changing environments. Being a birth photographer here in Atlanta has been great training for that!
Crystal and Philip are waiting to find out if they're having a son or a daughter, and I can't wait to find out when I get the call that they're ready for me to come visit them at Northside Hospital for their Fresh 48 session!

Krystle and Teddy are so much fun, and I loved their maternity session! I was so excited to work with them again. I headed to the home of Krystle and Teddy to meet their 3 week old son, Theo. Theo is a BIG boy, and his parents are in love! The last time I had seen Krystle and Teddy was at their maternity session, so I was excited to see them both and hear how Theo's birth went. Krystle and Teddy were interested in lifestyle, so I traveled to their home and captured their normal day to day interaction with Theo. Krystle selected a few images to print for a Father's Day gift and as grandparent gifts.

I was SO excited to see Amie and Daniel again for their family/Fresh Baby session. Baby Ellie was 8 weeks old when I came, and she was such a doll baby! The last time I had seen Amie and Daniel was at their maternity session, and it was so good to see them and hear about how Ellie's birth went. I love Amie and Daniel's style, and their house feels like an Anthropologie store!

I first met this mama via FaceTime since she lived over an hour away and wasn't up to traveling to interview me. We connected right away and by the end of the conversation she had decided to hire me to document her birth. We became friends (as I do with all of my clients) and texted each other quite a lot in the months leading up to her birth. Traditional Birth Services of Atlanta with midwife Brenda Parrish and her assistant midwife in training, Cindy Morrow attended the birth. It was a beautiful day, a beautiful birth, and SUCH a gorgeous baby!

I headed to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, GA for Ella's Fresh 48 session. Have you ever seen such a beautiful baby!? I was amazed by her head of hair! Spending time with her parents, Tiffiney and Chee, was a lot of fun and I was able to offer some encouragement to Tiffiney as she navigated breastfeeding. Chee was such an attentive partner and father, and Tiffiney was such a warm and loving mother. The images from Ella's Fresh 48 session are now displayed in her nursery, and also in her baby book. I love when families see the value and importance of documenting their tiny brand new baby … because as parents find out, they change SO fast.

Eddie and Elysia drove to Atlanta from their home in Norcross for their maternity session. This was our "get to know each other" session before the birth of their baby girl, since I'm their birth photographer as well! They're having a homebirth with Dawning Life Midwifery, and I'm so excited to document that for them.
We met in a park with beautiful trees that filter the evening light beautifully, and they were naturals at interacting, and needed very little help. The necklace that Elysia is wearing in these photos belonged to her grandmother who her baby girl is being named after. I just love when my clients incorporate such rich history in their photos to make them that much more meaningful.

I first met Georgia and Thomas at their maternity session, and really enjoyed getting to know them. They decided to hire me as their birth photographer at the end of their maternity session, and I happened to be available to accept them! It was only a couple of weeks later that Georgia and Thomas welcomed their baby girl Paxton into the world on April 29th at Kennestone Hospital in Kennesaw, GA. I was so honored to be a part of it and document such an important and beautiful day in their lives. Congratulations Georgia and Thomas! Paxton, you're a lucky little lady with parents like yours!

If you have a ring or a necklace passed down from your mom or your great great grandma, that's a beautiful thing to include in your maternity session.
Every photo has a story, and additions like this only make the story that much richer and meaningful to you when you look back on them! Isn't that part of the reason you hire a photographer to photograph you? You want to look at a photo and feel emotion, and see things in the photo that are special to you. Incorporating family jewelry is an amazing way to do this.
I love to hear the stories of my clients when they explain what the meaning behind special items are. In the photos below, the necklace my client is wearing belonged to her grandmother. When I commented on how unique it was, and asked her if it had any special meaning, she told me the story. It belonged to her beloved grandmother who passed away when she was a teenager, and they were naming their baby girl after her! How special is that? I now suggest that clients think about any jewelry they may have that has been handed down to them. Wouldn't it be so special if a mom expecting a little girl chose to wear her grandmother's pearl earrings and then her little girl wore those same earrings on her wedding day?

I don't know about you, but I like to get to know people and learn who they are, what they love, and what they're interested in. After all, life is about relationships.
What about you? What's the first random about you that pops into your head?

I'm excited to announce the launch of the Cammie Jane's Gift program here in Atlanta for NICU families. I don't want any babies to be born early, but when they are, I want to help in some small way - by providing free NICU sessions for them.
Read MoreKerry was expecting her second baby boy in March, and elected to have a lifestyle maternity session indoors. Her house was a photographer's dream with lots of beautiful natural light pouring in her windows, and amazing detailed furniture!
Kerry wasn't quite sure what to wear for her session so had pulled out several choices for me to look over when I arrived. Even though she's having a boy, I fell in love with this beautiful pink sweater that was included in her options. It was perfect for her complexion, and looked absolutely gorgeous with the colors of her bedroom. I always love when clients ask for my input in their wardrobe selection since I can offer my advice from a photographer's standpoint. Some clients even text me their ideas for wardrobe beforehand, and I'm always happy to give advice and feedback! Wardrobe consultation is complimentary and part of the client experience. The best advice I have for my Atlanta maternity session clients is to wear something that you feel beautiful in. If you feel great, it will show in your photos - Kerry's photos are stunning!
Kerry & Bob welcomed their baby boy on March 4th! Welcome to the world, baby boy! You're super blessed with amazing and loving parents and big brother!

I'm an Atlanta birth photographer, and I love documenting birth stories! This couple was such a sweet couple, and they were expecting their third baby... a little girl after two boys. To say they were excited would be an understatement. When I arrived, I silently sat in my corner of the room as Lauren and Russ worked together as a team to bring baby Caroline into the world. It was very special to watch, and the look of elation on Lauren's face when Caroline was placed on her chest was so beautiful. That look is the look I see in every birth... the mixture of overwhelming joy, relief, excitement all blended together in one. Birth is a transformative event in the life of a woman, no matter if it's their first baby or their fifth! Lauren and Russ had invited Lauren's mom to come to the birth, and it was so special to see her mother's reaction. It was love at first sight for all of them!

The lead up to this birth was an exciting one! Atlanta experienced a wild ice storm, and I was on pins and needles hoping that baby boy would hold off his arrival so that I could make it to the birth. As an Atlanta birth photographer, snow and ice aren't something I have to contend with very often! I had my backup plan of taking MARTA or just walking to the hospital if necessary. The main concern was that his parents would be able to make the trek to the hospital from their home! Baby boy decided to cooperate with all of our hopes, and I got the call the evening of January 29. It was a little icy on the roads to the hospital, but nothing I couldn't handle.
This couple was a Bradley couple expecting their second child. They were patients of Intown Midwifery, and delivered at Atlanta Medical Center in a waterbirth. When I arrived, mom was laughing and smiling and continued to do so all the way up to transition. Her husband was a wonderful support to her, and it was awesome to watch them labor together. She was a rock star as she managed to work through her contractions and hold off of pushing long enough to finish her antibiotics. Once that IV drip was done, she wasted no time in delivering her sweet boy! Baby Brooks was born at 10:46 PM and was an 8 pound bundle of squishy perfection.
