This sweet guy was about as brand new as they get, seven days old on the day of our session.  And I tell you what, he was super modest because he was NOT having any naked baby shots!  But he was super snug and happy in a tight swaddle, so we just adapted to him and wrapped him up!  Thanks to the P family for letting me capture these sweet moments for them!

Enjoy!

Meet sweet baby A. He was almost a month old on the day of his session, and I have to admit that I was a little bit worried. Typically I like to photograph newborns before their 12th day of life. However, he was an absolutely perfect, sleepy guy!! The session could not have gone smoother. I really enjoyed working with you guys, enjoy your sneak peek! Baby A is just beautiful!

And check out his super cute nursery!!

I was pumped when my friend Melissa from high school contacted me about photographing her beautiful family.  I was EVEN MORE excited when she responded to me with this email about a possible location:

“R actually suggested our house (well, yard). We live on 4 acres and we have some woods and a big field and our next door neighbors have a

50 acre horse farm with a nice looking fence down one side of our property.

I forget how beautiful it can be sometimes since I see it everyday.  Do you think that might work?”

Words just cannot express how excited I was to read this email!  Anyone who knows me, and of my photography, is that I LOVE to get off the beaten path and photograph in natural, rustic settings.  Especially when it somewhere where the children and my subjects can feel at ease and at “home.”

I think that you will agree that the session was a smash hit.

Enjoy!  I will have your gallery up this week!

This image is my favorite of the session.  I love the protective look that he has over his family… I just absolutely love it.  :)

I was so excited last week when driving around downtown Kennesaw, Georgia to scout for my session with these two cuties and I found an AWESOME field of purple wildflowers…. It was seriously like something out of a magazine.  And what a picture perfect model I had too!  ;)  She was very into picking the flowers, smelling them, it was a photographer’s dream.

I photographed baby C when she was just a few days old, and she just turned one!  Where does the time go?  However, she was feeling a little under the weather so I will be doing another session for just her later this week.

Enjoy your sneak peek!

I took my sweet boy out at sunset (my FAVORITE time to photograph…) into an overgrown field by our house.  He is my challenging subject, by far.  He has so much personality and will not sit still for very long, so I definitely have to take a lifestyle approach with him.

Enjoy!

Baby P also has some doting, beautiful big sisters.  It was so, so cute how proud they were of their little brother, and were ever so helpful with him!!

parker1I especially love capturing little baby feet, ears, lips, etc.  It is so special for me to look back on my own child’s newborn pictures and remember how small he once was…

I just thoroughly enjoyed meeting this beautiful family and sweet baby boy!  Thank you for allowing me into this special time in your lives!
