The Pryor Family

Sometimes it’s just so easy!  I had a wonderful session with Jennifer and her family.  The light was beautiful, the kids were happy and everything just fell into place. :)  Olivia and Zach just started a new school together this year so mom wanted to capture this milestone in their lives.  As a parent I can understand what a turning point this must be, both kids in school for full days, all grown up (or at least it seems that way).  And yet, we still see them as our innocent, sweet, little babies – looking at us like we are heroes.  And we are – right?

I absolutely love these first two images – the sun dancing around and glowing on the whole family.

Just look at those freckles on Zach – I could just squeeze him!  And sweet Olivia – more interested in the animals, fish and bugs than me. ;)

*gasp* this picture gets me all emotional.  So cute!

I should tell you that Jennifer is REALLY good about taking pictures and documenting all of their family adventures on her blog - you should check it out!

I had a wonderful newborn session with sweet Beckett and his parents.  It’s been a string of really wonderful newborns, so cooperative and sleepy!  Mom told me in advance that Beckett would have a cleft lip and palate when he’s born.  I’m so happy that these parents embrace the beauty and wonder that is their son and did not wait to do pictures after his surgeries.  His condition is very mild and, as Daddy said, it’s only cosmetic.  He is truly perfect in every way, and I got teary-eyed when holding him, just remembering when my Jake was so little.  It’s a time that slips away so quickly and the only thing you can do is enjoy it, treasure it, and capture it with a picture.

Without further ado, meet Mr. Beckett!

Proud Papa and Mama!  Dad is very into baseball and I love that he brought his glove to use in some pictures.

Can you see the little smile on Beckett’s face?  I swear he was grinning almost the whole time!  And beautiful mommy – she doesn’t look tired at all right??

After Beckett ate, he was WIDE awake.  Mom said he usually stays awake for a while so we just went ahead and did some more pictures.  Usually I do this pose when the babies are sleeping, but we gave it a try “awake” and I think it’s adorable!

Oh my goodness – miss Anna is one of my baby planners and she has changed so much since our newborn session back in December!  She was seriously one of the happiest babies I’ve ever met.  If we put her down and let her just sit on the floor she would giggle, smile,  and laugh at us – and it was even her nap time!  Of course, mom and dad are always smiling too, so I’m sure she gets her jolly demeanor from them.

I really love these first two images – especially the close up.  As a photographer I can guide people (or pose them) but when things happen naturally, those are always the best images in my opinion.  Dad was looking at mom, mom was looking at Anna and Anna was looking at me with that silly tongue – adorable!

See what I mean – joyful – even when we put her in the bucket!

It was getting HOT fast, so we went inside for a couple more tutu shots.

And since mom said she likes the “vintage” style images that I do – here’s a special one for her…. :)

I had such a delightful time with Kate & Beau.  We decided to do an early morning session to beat the heat – but it was still pretty steamy.  Beau greeted me at the door and offered my coffee, and I got to meet their fur baby (aka: first child) too!  We hit it off right away and had a blast.  I can’t wait to meet baby Charley in September.  Her parents are so in love – and excited for their new adventure!

See what I mean by in love?  So sweet!

The nursery was so cute – and already stocked with wonderful books for Miss Charley!  One of my favorites…..

siblings | atlanta family photography

I absolutely loved watching these two interact.  As any mother knows, when you find out that other kids act exactly like your own, it just makes you feel more normal.  Preston is 4 and Charlotte is almost 2 – and they interact just like Kylie and Jake.  They both want to do exactly what the other one is doing (because they adore each other) but they act like the other one is soooooo annoying – especially if they’re TOUCHING!  Ahhh, sibling rivalry!  Mom and I enjoyed the scene and had some laughs.  I was sad to hear that they will soon be moving to Charlotte…..  but at least I got to meet them before they go!

Just look at his eyes – so kind and sweet.  He was smiling the WHOLE time – it makes you want to smile back doesn’t it?

So typical right?  Preston sitting on Charlotte in the chair — because they both wanted to be on the chair RIGHT NOW!  ;)

Sweet Charlotte – I had to put a little vintage effect on this image.  Gorgeous!
