Smyrna Little League’s Closing Day of baseball is tomorrow. You can find me early at the Mechanical Bull. 
It has been a really fun season and this is a little preview of the Baseball Themed Session I donated for one of the families that benefited the Benchwarmers BBQ that will ultimately provide new bleacher covers at the fields. I am all for keeping the freckles off my face!
Session Share: May 2012 | Marietta, Georgia Studio
Look how big this little guy has grown! You can see a sample of his newborn session here. We met again at The Studio for a milestone session now that he is sitting up. He is actually pulling up and moving all about. He will be like my first little boy and running before a year old, I think!
I’ll never get tired of this age. They are so huggable, sweet and funny. I love to see how curious they are about everything around them. His parents are going to have a fun (and active) summer this year – one to remember for sure!

No plans for the weekend? The Atlanta Baby & Child Expo will be happening at the Fox Theatre this weekend. There will be lots of giveaways, samples and info for new and expecting parents.

I can’t believe it is the last Day of April! This little man is already a month old so I better share him quickly before he gets any bigger. He has already changed so much and I love seeing his daily happenings on Facebook and Instagram!
I was so honored to help photograph this sweet boy. His Mom is the very talented wedding photographer, Liana Lehman Hall. I can remember holding my own newborns and at a week old I could already see the changes and growth in them (especially their heads!). It is cliche now but it really does go so fast. The same thing must have happened to Liana as she put the call out to her Atlanta Newborn Photographer friends to come [quickly] and help her out. Even when you are a photographer it is often easier to hand over newborns to get the best images. When you are Mom they smell you and don’t want to sleep as well. I went with my friends, Alice, Elizabeth and Jenny to capture Atticus and he couldn’t have helped us out any better than he did. I had planned on being more of a prop and position-er but did manage to catch several pictures of him with mostly my 100 mm lens (and usually one handed!).
I loved the colors in the above hat and had to take it off the orange dinosaur in the nursery for Atticus to wear. He was a good sport and didn’t mind at all!
~ Behind the Scenes look at us during Atticus’ photo shoot. Thanks to Jenny and Alice for the photos. ~
Don’t you love the name Atticus?
“When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness sake. But don’t make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion faster than adults, and evasion simply muddles ‘em.”- spoken by Atticus Finch, by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

This is a sweet family that had a family session with me before this little boy got his first real haircut. It will be bittersweet to see him with his big boy hair do. I bet he will look so grown up! He is already doing many big-boy things so I guess it is time he looks the part of the toddler he is. 
He is lucky to have a great big sister to lead the way for him. She directed and helped him out a lot (it will always be that way!).
How did they know to wear my favorite colors, blue & green? As summer gets closer there will be even more green grass and leaves as my backdrops. I love all the natural colors that allow children’s faces and expressions to be the focus of any image. It is always fun to have that pop of color too! Crewcuts has some fun Spring children’s clothes that you can check out. They always have a great selection for both casual and dressier outfits.
This is just to give you an idea of what some clothing choices might be. I can always help with this if you are stuck. I love to pull collections together from your existing clothes and often make decisions based on home decor and locations of photo sessions.
More later on what undertones of color look best on a person. This is an individual thing and has nothing to do with the color but the shade. My Mother has taught this for uh, many years and it is very dramatic to see it in person. I am always a perfect model for her. I look best in bright, clear colors (like the green above). If she drapes me in that color and immediately puts a pastel (Easter egg colors or white undertones) on me, you can see how washed out I become. There is no amount of makeup I can add to fix it and if I go around town like that people will ask me if I feel sick. My husband is the opposite. He looks the best in pastel colors. It all has to do with the pigments in our skin and not our hair and skin coloring. I am terrible about updating my site but hopefully I will be able to write more about this soon and show some examples.

More cute little kids in the gorgeous Spring morning light. This little girly is just as spunky as my own and I love her Easter dress. Her brother couldn’t be sweeter (and such a good helper)!
They are in the blue I love and back-dropped in all my favorite colors. Their cute little faces should be permanent on my website! Perfect Lisa Phillipson Photography branding, right?
