finally | atlanta family photographer

“FINALLY” is what my client is saying as she reads my blog post!  :)  I know she’s been waiting so patiently and I wish I could get things up faster.  If only there were MORE hours in a day!  :)  Hopefully it’s worth the wait….

First up – all the ladies!  Dad couldn’t make it to the session, so we did Mom, Aunt & Grandma instead.  Beautiful right?

She finally has enough hair for a little bow.  I’ve been photographing her since babyhood and she is blossoming into the sweetest little girl.   It helps that I see her all the time (since her mom and I have a great nanny that we share) and we have a great rapport.  :)

Doesn’t she look like one of Santa’s elves?  Mom was changing her clothes and said “do you want some naked pictures?”  She was joking but I said “HECK YEAH” and put my xmas hat on her!  Be careful what you say to a photographer!

This last one melts my heart.  The time passes so quickly and soon the lovies, binkies, and bunnies will all be forgotten.  But for now, we share our lollipop.

and baby makes FOUR | atlanta family photography

Okay, mom said Mr. “A” is shy – but I’m not sure I believe it.  He was so cute and such a ham for me.   This is usually one of the most difficult ages to photograph because kids are just learning to walk and they have their own agenda.  But Mr. A was having so much fun with us (and my chair) and he let me get some great shots.  Mom is expecting number two very soon….  much sooner than you would think based on how FAB she looks!

I had to showcase the family a bit.  Mom said she wanted to capture their family of three before baby sister arrives.  I know EXACTLY how that feels, because I did the same thing.  Some people choose to wait for the new baby to arrive before getting pictures, but I really believe this is such a special time.  Before the chaos of a new baby, before the rivalry of siblings, before you will never be able to nap again….. Ahhhh, I miss that life sometimes!  BUT, as any parent of two (or three, or four….) will tell you, I can’t imagine life without my second child now (except the pictures that remind me!).

Good luck to mom and dad when baby arrives.  Can’t wait to meet baby sister!

baby love | baby photography atlanta

Oh my goodness, this little guy was sooooooooooooo sweet.  I have to admit I was a little nervous since mom called me when he was already about 10 days old – so I fit him in my schedule ASAP, but he was just over two weeks old by then.  That may not seem like a big deal to most people, but as any photog will tell you, the EARLIER THE BETTER with the newborn pictures.   Mr. “M” proved all of my theories wrong and slept almost the entire time.  He curled up so cozy just about anywhere I put him.  LOVE IT!

Mom and Dad were awesome to work with.  They were very relaxed for first time parents and they let me “do my thing” which is so fun for me!  Aren’t they cute??  :)

My favorite….  I love the little hand dangling.

two girls | atlanta family photography

Mom is a friend of several of my previous clients which is probably why I felt as if I already knew her and these two sweet girls.  Word of mouth is the BEST type of referral for my business.  I have yet to do any paid advertising because my clients do all of the advertising for me – with their portraits!  A custom portrait session is a very personal event, so I feel honored that my clients trust me and have the confidence to refer me to their friends and family. It means so much and I really appreciate it.

The weather was gorgeous for our afternoon session and these two sweety pies were so cooperative and fun.   Here’s just a little sneak peak…..

amazing faces | atlanta family photography

Yes, I think I will have to add this sweety to my “amazing faces” gallery on my website!  Stunning eyes, blonde hair, and the cutest little smile!  :)  Of course, that would be as soon as I actually have some extra time to do ANYTHING besides edit, edit, edit all of my sessions!  I know mom is “stalking” my blog (to quote her directly), so here is a sneak peak to hold her over until the rest are done.  Miss “C” did GREAT for our session – she was smiling all the way until the end.  It certainly made my job easier!

Love this one with mom – so adorable!
