This beautiful ballet dancer is headed off to college and has big things ahead of her! She knocked it out of the park in many years of Nutcracker performances and in the Performing Arts at CCCEPA. She is one of the ones I know will LOVE college life.
I’m catching up with some Fall photo sessions. The sisters in this family have grown so much since I saw them last! They are so sweet to each which I loved. 😍
Winter in Smyrna, Georgia for family of 4
I’m so excited to post these beautiful pictures of a wonderful family. Who says you can’t have a light-filled photo session in January? Mom received a great after-Christmas gift from her family by having these pictures made. I know they will be treasured forever.
I’m also very excited about this post because I completely ignored this site in 2020. The year of sequestering should have allowed MUCH blogging and catching up. I just took a step back for homeschooling and family “stuff.” There was a lot of togetherness for sure. You know…
It was a good time to step back from the back-end business hustle along with so many other things that were cleared from the schedule.
Here’s to more blessings in 2021 know matter what this world looks like!
Smyrna Maternity Pictures or maybe “crazy weather” would be a better title!
This Mama had her due date moved up and we didn’t have much time to fit in her maternity session. We picked the one day that didn’t have rain in the forecast but wouldn’t you know with Atlanta weather it poured all day. The time came, hair and makeup were done so we drove to the location and just sat and waited for a break in rain. We studied the forecast and decided it wasn’t going to stop before dark so we had to make a decision. We shoot indoors or we look for an umbrella and make the best of it. She decided she preferred going for it because a picture by the water was what she wanted most.
Out we went with umbrellas. It was cute and I called her Mary Poppins. I suddenly realized it wasn’t raining THAT hard and we ditched umbrellas risking hair disaster. Before we knew it the sun was out in full force making us look for shade. We feel like we received a little gift with the sun helping us out so much.
I love that this Mama said she had waited a long time for this baby and she was going to enjoy it and make sure she had some pictures to document the time before he was born. All Moms-to-be deserve that. I think about how priceless these maternity pictures will be to her son one day and it makes me smile!
This Mama and Daddy adore their baby girl. Her cheeks are so squeezable!
Looks just like her Mom!
We met early one summer morning to capture this sweet baby girl with her mom and dad. Windows to shoot can be short with infants so we met in Smyrna close to home so there wouldn’t be a long commute. She is about 3 and half months old here which is a wonderful age to capture after a newborn session. She was full of smiles and expressions that were fun to capture. At this young age before a baby can sit up on their own, parents are the perfect backdrop to add to a session. The smiles come easy with a cute, easy baby! And, I personally love capturing parents and their reactions watching their precious little one.
I had the honor of volunteering with the 2019 Confirmation Class over the last year. SFUMC tackled something new this year by extending the length of the class and offering it to 7th graders. It was quite the journey and I was proud to be in attendance (and take pictures) as the newest members of the church were presented!
