ourtown family ourtown family ourtown familyI’ve known the Cochrans for many years so what a surprise when we were matched up for the latest Our Town. There couldn’t be a more perfect family to be featured on the cover and when we added their new puppy, Buddy, we had cuteness overload! They were a little nervous about bringing Buddy because he isn’t known for his…good behavior (yet).  I’ve worked with lots of puppies in photo sessions so I felt confident he should be there and he definitely did not disappoint. Look how good he is in these pictures! Hopefully he didn’t go home and chew up all their shoes.

ourtown family ourtown familyThis is a Vinings Estates family and the kids go to Whitefield Academy in Mableton where the whole family is very active. What better place for a family portrait than at the place where they spend so much time. Whitefield was very generous and were happy to have us shoot on their campus. The weather had turned cold and rainy again and we rescheduled at least once to avoid SNOW at our session. In Atlanta, we think of warmer weather for March and flowers so we had hoped for a more spring-like setting. Luckily we had bright sun on the day we shot and we avoided the rain and snow after all.

 

Buddy is a Boykin Spaniel.

I’m so happy he is running as I can’t think of a better candidate!

retreatCan you believe I have lived in Atlanta for as many years as I have and had never been to Reynold’s Plantation? I was there for a week last month and what a treat it was! The National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP) had their annual retreat close to home this year which made it extra special for many of us. I was on staff working most of the time but still soaked up lots of great information and best of all saw a lot of photographer-friends I only get to see in person once a year. If you are a photographer specializing in children (newborn/families) or seniors, plan on attending one of these “Retreats” in the future. georgia-photography atlanta-senior-lightThere were Styled Senior Shoots with Amanda Holloway, Sarah Lane and Tash Haynes. An adorable Valentine’s Day theme that our models rocked! Dan Brouillette demonstrated lighting for everyone and showed his expertise.   We Periscoped a lot during the week for NAPCP and and Tash had these girls on the spot! They were thrown into the fire of Periscope but had fun watching the reply of themselves on my phone. 🙂 georgia-photographersNAPCP Prides themselves on lots of small details. georgia-photographer FOGo-BlogThe view of the Lake was amazing.

I hung out over my balcony and tried to take shots like the one above at sunrise and sunset most days using my Fuji X100.

 

I missed my family while I was gone but I have to admit, re-entry to life outside of the Ritz Carlton was pretty tough. It was easy to get used to everything (especially food) being prepared for you. And you can’t beat the easily accessible spa!

Atlanta Baby Photographer Mommy

It was an unusually cool morning for this milestone birthday session for two sisters.  You would never know they weren’t so into it would you?  Little Grace didn’t want to show us her new-found walking skills right away. I love that Mom could laugh about it all with me.  It only took a little patience and we got some really cute images from our time together.  I share that with you to let you know that we all have bad or off mornings and children are no different. I’m not bothered by waiting on them and it always works out.

Lollipops!

The lollipops at the end of our session certainly did not hurt and it was so fun watching them try to eat them. Grace was able to learn from her big sister just what to do with hers. 🙂

To say that I am partial to these two little girls would be an understatement.  I am honored to be their photographer and the one to have captured “one” and “three” with these girls.

Green Clothing Ideas

Green Clothing: I hope you had a great green St. Patrick’s Day.  It is always this day that I learn how little green people have in their closet.  You will see me in green all the time – I love it.  And I often dress my children in it as well.  I love the pairings above with the bright pink added in.  I think I might try adding that instead of red the next time I photograph all three of my children together.  Add in my next favorite color, navy blue, and it is perfect (for me).

Try adding green in to your wardrobe and portrait pictures.  These particular colors especially remind me of Easter.  You can find this color scheme in all the stores right now so it will be easy to find!  Emerald Green is the color of the year for 2013 so go for it even if it is just small pops of bright green in a scarf, purse or other accessory.
