The Kelly’s & Baby Lyla

The Kelly’s & Baby Lyla
I was excited to hear from Kelly a few months ago.  It had been a while since I’d heard from her but she was the beautiful bride who appeared in Elegant Bride magazine back in 2008.  She was writing to tell me that she & husband (also named Kelly) has expanded their family.  Eight months...

Summer Family Fun

Summer Family Fun
It always seems to come at the right time, a day like this… a day with a beautiful family, wonderfully well-behaved children that are a delight & thrill to photograph.  This is the kind of day that truly reminds me how great it is to photograph life’s moments. Perhaps you remember these...

Benefits of Breastfeeding your Newborn

Benefits of Breastfeeding your Newborn
Thinking about a little mouth latching on to your breast with all its might is enough to strike terror in the heart of any mother, but the rewards of breastfeeding far outweigh the initial pain and hassle.  I knew from the moment that I became pregnant that I would breastfeed my daughter, Ella.  I...

Lovely Day with a Gorgeous Newborn

Lovely Day with a Gorgeous Newborn
I must admit that, at the moment, my favorite thing to photograph is the sweet perfection of a newborn child.  And while I always enjoy my job it is especially rewarding to watch families grow.  These days it seems I am always getting a call to hear that a previous bride is expecting.  I am always...

Remember the Days…

Remember the Days…
‘You’re 30?’ Jonathon’s eyes grew wide with amazement as he asked me the question. I am fairly certain that ‘thirty’ sounds like old age to a teenager. Jonathon is my step-sister’s first born. He is actually the the first baby that I spent any time with. He...

Familiar Atlanta Families | Watching them Grow :)

Familiar Atlanta Families | Watching them Grow :)
I’ve know the Pelletier family for five years now, back in the days when they were a family of two.  In fact, Angela & Tom were the first couple I had to get published in a magazine!  Not only were they the feature story, but one of their wedding images graced the cover of Southern Bride...

Wichita for the Day

Wichita for the Day
I consider myself lucky to have such a connection with my clients.  It’s this connection that brings me back to photograph the same families year after year.  Such is the case with Katie & Yaw, whom recently welcomed their first child into the world.  We first met when I photographed their...

The Boy Next Door

The Boy Next Door
We’ve been really lucky with the neighbors that moved in next door.  I remember the days when I cursed the pesky ‘yippy’ dogs that always interrupted my work flow.  High pitched incessant yipping… arrgghhh… nonstop, several days in a row.  It’s enough to drive...

Welcome to the World

Welcome to the World
One of my favorite assignments these days is photographing newborns.  Sure it can be a messy job, but I am rewarded with the perfectly still, serenely beautiful portraits at the end of each session.  Little Ellie surely wins the award for cooperation.  She slept like a log 90% of the time we were...

Newborn Jameson {2.5 weeks}

Newborn Jameson {2.5 weeks}
I really enjoy the afternoons I get to spend with new families.  This week I had the chance to meet Jessica & her new baby boy, Jameson.  He surprised his parents by arriving three weeks early, Jessica went in for her regular appointment & her doctor told her should could not leave, she was...

Precious Baby Adalyn {newborn}

Precious Baby Adalyn {newborn}
Check out this little cutie!  Miss Adalyn Joy was born on January 20th (my birthday!) last week.  You should also know that Adalyn’s mother (Julie) had her birthday on the 21st!  So her birthday celebration was a bit more exciting, she left the hospital a year older with a tiny bundle of joy,...

Ashley & Chris are expecting!

Ashley & Chris are expecting!
I am always excited to hear when someone is expecting a little one!  Sometimes I even get a direct call from a very excited grandmother.  This time, I learned about Ashley’s exciting news from her mother via Facebook!  It’s fantastic that I can keep in touch with clients this way AND their...

The Big SIX {Fall Family Fun}

The Big SIX {Fall Family Fun}
Last Saturday was a beautiful day & we decided to get the whole gang together.  Linda’s little gang- this time we included her hubby, Phillip.  We had a blast playing in the leaves & popping balloons.  Of course I always have fun with this family & I know I’ll always get unpredictable...

{newBorn} Little Liam
During the summer months, you might remember me blogging about our new neighbors.  We’ve been very fortunate in having Megan & Adam move in next door.  In fact, I haven’t had to make a run to the grocery store in a couple of weeks.  Megan’s kept my fridge complete with the essentials. ...

Labor Day Celebrations

Labor Day Celebrations
Here is another fun shoot I had over Labor Day weekend.  This jolly grandpa was celebrating his 60th birthday & all of his kids & grandchildren got together to celebrate.  Of course this is the perfect opportunity to have a photographer come snap family photos.  Here grandma & grandpa...

Power Play

Power Play
These crazy kids belong to some friends of ours, Jason & Laurie.  They have three rambunctious boys that gave me more than enough exercise for one afternoon.  I don’t know how Laurie manages them on a daily basis!? Excuse my brevity, I wish I had time to write more but I am a little behind...

{baby days} Megan & Adam
Several months ago we eagerly awaited the arrival of our new next door neighbors.  It’s always exciting when homes in the neighborhood turn over.  In our particular neighborhood, we’ve had a lot of older people move out & a lot of young families move in.  This is great for us, because we...

More Fun Down South

More Fun Down South
I got together with another fun family while I was back in Atlanta, it’s just taken me a little time to try & catch up.  I’m an editing machine… I’m living on Lunchables & Slimfast.  It takes too much time to cook a meal!  Besides I’d rather get caught up &...

Watching Ella Grow

Watching Ella Grow
This baby girl is my adorably gorgeous niece. Well… technically she belongs to my cousin, Jennifer.  But here’s the deal:  Jennifer & I were born a month apart {I am the older & wiser one} and our families only lived 15 miles from one another.  So we grew up together more like...

From my Savannah Days…

From my Savannah Days…
It seems so long ago that I was complaining about the Savannah heat on a daily basis.  So what do I do?  I travel back to the good ole’ ATL in the middle of August!  HOT & HUMID but I was traveling for a good cause, Grandma was scheduled for a procedure & I got to take care of her the...
