Sharing a special delivery of not only a sweet newborn boy but also his birth announcements. I was always fond of trains and airplanes when my little boys were little. I love the airplane and airy design on these cards printed on linen cardstock. They are truly special and a wonderful keepsake that is a perfect 5×7 for easy framing. This family now has new The Organic Bloom frames to add to a wall gallery showing off the newest member of their family. I love the curves of these frames. Mostly I love that this little one will be on the wall for all to enjoyed instead of a computer drive!

This year I have been working with The Gold Hope Project to help Fighters and Survivors of pediatric cancer. I had a session with a local “Fighter” recently. I am so happy to now know Audrey, her mom and also her dog, George. Audrey is a Fighter for the second time with Neuroblastoma and has started chemo again this summer with a phase I trial at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. We met one morning in Smyrna the week she started this new trial. When I asked her mother what made Audrey the happiest she said “Dogs” so it was important to me to have George be a big part of our session. I am so glad he was there. I don’t think he cared much about having his picture made but he really brought out Audrey’s personality.
I ask all prayer warriors reading this to please pray for Audrey and her family. Please pray that the trial she is currently on is successful and mostly pray for a miracle as that is what is needed the most. You can read more about Audrey’s story on Gold Hope’s Facebook page HERE.
If you know any other child under the age of 21 that is currently a “Fighter” of cancer or one that is a “Survivor” of the disease, you can direct them to The Gold Hope Project Site so they can apply for a session of their own and help spread awareness of pediatric cancers. They can request me as their photographer or another one if they are not local. It is an International organization with hundreds of photographers waiting to donate their time and give to others what they do best.
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.
Before it totally gets away from me I wanted to share some images from my trip to Charleston, South Carolina last month for the National Association of Child Photographers Retreat. You can also see the NAPCP newsletter with more pictures and details at this link. I was honored to have some of my own images featured in that publication and blog. Warning: lots of pictures below. I can give you a better visual of my week with some outtakes of my photographer friends as we were out and about town taking new headshots for each other. We also had the opportunity to work on stylized High School Senior shoots that were a lot of fun and a little exhausting. Think speed dating for Senior Sessions and you get the idea!

I communicate better in photos and that is why Instagram is my favorite social media. Below are some of my Instagram photos capturing my week in Charleston. Follow me at @lisaphillipson to keep up with the latest in my business.
I am the feature photographer for the May edition of Our Town Magazine. It is always fun to see what new people I get to meet through this opportunity and this time I met some great students at King Springs Elementary School in Smyrna. I also learned more about their Junior Master Gardeners and what they have been doing this past year. Everyone was excited that they have been invited to be a part of the Smyrna Garden Tour this year on May 18th. They have a wonderful outdoor classroom outside their media room and are learning so much. It has taken a lot of extra effort from volunteer parents and staff to make this club possible and just one of the many great things about King Spring Elementary.
If you would like to go on Smyrna’s garden tour this year, you can contact the City of Smyrna to buy tickets in advance or buy them the day of the event on May 18th at Taylor Brawner House on Atlanta Road.
Don’t forget to look for a copy of Our Town Magazine starting today to read more about these awesome kids!
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.
