Piper turns 2!

The little "firecracker" - as I called her a year ago - is now the sweetest, more enduring, little girl. Some of my favorites from our country session!

Bennett and his water hose

Poor Baby...

Life is not fair. It's just not fair...

Doesn't this series make you smile? Of course, I captured more of Preston than these oh-so-cute pouts, but still. I can absolutely see how life is tough for a 7 month old...

The Sweet Torres Family

There is no more joy and honor than documenting treasured images for another photographer's family. Katie and Chris started Six of Four four years ago to capture all of the emotions and details of Atlanta's most sophisticated weddings. They are also dear friends of ours, so when they asked me to help capture some family photos for them, I accepted this responsibility with a hand above my heart.

I realized these were more than just images to hang around the home. They are the memories that remind you of how sweet it is to hold your daughter close to you as she sleeps....how it feels for your heart to skip a beat to see her smile, and how happy and proud and complete you feel to have her part of your life...

Chris and Katie know they are blessed parents, and it was an amazing experience for me to witness such love.

Here are some of my favorites of Rosemary with mom & dad at 3 months.

Thank you so much again for opening your family so beautifully to me, Chris & Katie.

ps - And thank you for dinner last night! I would post a photo of our wonderful creation from Bella Cucina, but we finished it faster than I could document it. THANK YOU!

Smitten with this age...

All of my One Year clients are turning 8 months these days. I love it! My most favoritest age to photograph!

Harper, almost on the go (but not quite yet!)



Tripp and all of his wonderfulness.





Can't wait to photograph 8 month old Luke tomorrow!

When friends begin to have kids....

...my mom begins to question why I haven't started yet! Oy.

Elizabeth and I have known each other forever....since planning to be tennis partners in middle school or something crazy like that. Davis is one of the happiest and sweetest babies I've had the privilege of photographing... Even right before bedtime, he was all smiles. My friends are so blessed.

Wonder which one of us will have one next? Probably Elizabeth with #2...

Mary Alice

She is as sweet as her pretty little name designates. (I'm particularly fond of her middle name...)

The cowboy and the princess

Graham and Maran have grown into SUCH bundles of joy. Twins are so much fun to play with!

One of my faves....



It's strange looking at yourself in a mirror, isn't it?

Baby Harper is Here!

I've been awaiting Harper's arrival for quite some time now. She has the sweet nature and delightful disposition of her parents. I can't wait to watch this little one grow over the course of the year!

Sweet Slumber

Life is good for Miss Nicole, photographed at 3 months (she was an itty bitty preemie).

Speaking of which, I need some good shut eye too! I've been working around the clock lately, average about 3-4 hours a night... Lots of bags around my eyes now..

Sweet Pea

It's never too late to photograph your sweet newborn. Mom called me last minute to get some itty, bitty shots of Ronan at 4 weeks old. He was such a good subject for me :)

To all of the beautiful mothers....

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

Happy Mother's Day!

Daddy's Little Girl

Just wanted to share a favorite from one of my sessions this morning. I have a lot to update to the blog, so stay tuned :)

Baby Brother Finn

I'm always thrilled to meet the newest addition to the family after documenting the first child. Everything changes when you have a younger sibling. You have to share your attention with someone else... and to many, that's not the greatest feeling in the world. To Aiden, he was just delighted (although a little uncertain at first) to share everything with Finn. Including his parents....

Lily | 1 Year Old

One of the joys of my job is watching babies not only grow physically, but mentally & emotionally as well.

We started off our photo session celebrating one of life's biggest milestone, turning 1. Lily dove into her cupcake, just as any one else who's never tasted the sweet pleasures of frosting and chocolate.

Then we ventured outside in a *lush* abandoned green lot next door. Lily was a little unsure, not knowing if she was quite ready to let go.



And then suddenly, she found her courage to venture off on her own...



...only to be swooped right into daddy's arms again. I guess he's not quite ready to let go yet...

Nicole Rebecca | 19 Days Old

On Saturday, I photographed the very tiny, and very special 2 lb princess Nicole at Northside Hospital. She arrived at 30 weeks, and since then has achieved many major goals doctors thought would take weeks. She now needs no supplimental feedings, is on little to no oxygen, and recently moved out of NICU. Her dad calls her his "overachiever!" I experienced all of the warmth and love Nicole's entire family shares for this special little girl. All of the prayers from Nicole's loved ones have definitely been heard.

Some of my favorites from my visit to the meet Miss Nicole...

I am looking forward to watching her grow, and do AMAZING things with her life!

Mr. Bennett | 4 months old

I have been looking forward to shooting Mr. Bennett since he was in his mommy's tummy at 7 months. When clients schedule so far in advance, it's hard to determine what will play out. Saturday turned out to be the perfect day for our session. Quite possibly the most perfect day of this season!

Lots of favorites of Bennett at 4 months. Although the weather was AMAZING outdoors, my favorites were inside.

Hoping our 8 month session in July gives us nice weather too (haha)!

Miss Julia Brynn

Such a sweet name for such a sweet lady. I absolutely adore this little girl and her fun-loving parents who love her more than anything in the world.
