Family Photo Session with Sisters

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. 😍

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.

how cute is her adorable lemon outfit?

It is time to jump back into this blog and post some of my favorite sessions from the end of the fall season. These sweet girls are as adorable in person as they look here. At the end of this photo shoot the little one hugged my leg and said “I love you.”  I regret not just taking her home forever right then and there!

Hope you enjoy the family pictures of this Smyrna Family!

Happy New Year!

 

Where to learn family Photography

I was just interviewed at Shootalong about this picture of my children.  Shootalong is a great place for parents learning photography and how to use their fancy cameras so they take better pictures of their own children. When you don’t have a professional photographer around, take the best pictures of your family and children as you can by learning the fundamentals and good techniques.

You can read what I had to say about capturing this Christmas Card picture which now hangs very large on the wall of my home: HERE.

Thanks, Shootalong!

 

Repost:

@lisaphillipsonphotography gives us a glimpse into her Christmas card picture magic… “This picture was a few years ago when I had all three children go into the backyard for an obligatory Christmas card picture. It was late afternoon and they are positioned with the sun going down behind them and under a canopy of trees. There was directional light from the open part of yard to light them from the front.

My children tend to bicker, touch each other too much, act silly and make picture taking pretty difficult. I’m sure your kids are not like this? I had to move quickly before someone stormed off or there were tears from my daughter. I gave them directions on where to stand so the background and my settings were ready to go. This image was when I said “put your arms around each other and act like you love each other.” My oldest grabbed everyone in for a big silly hug and luckily they all laughed and went with it.

I do this in my sessions for other families. I set up for the perfect posed picture, but it is the in between moments and interactions you should try to catch that will be the most meaningful to you. This picture is more special to me and captures my kids as they are more so than the smiling posed picture that I eventually caught. I have this picture framed large on my wall and look at it every single day.”

I love this family and their adorable little boys so I had to share the latest pictures I took of them on a seasonably warm day in Marietta, Georgia. I’m a broken record saying that brothers this age remind me of the years my own boys were little. It was quite a marathon to raise them (as opposed to a sprint) but I hold many fond memories of that time in life and love to see my clients loving it as well. East Cobb Family

Smyrna Family Photography Session

I’m happy to share this photo session of a great Smyrna, Georgia family.  Their kids mimic mine – 2 boys and one girl. Little Sisters definitely know how to roll with the punches and stand up for themselves. 🙂

Another lovely Christmas Card Picture!

 

Merry Christmas!

 

I am a Smyrna, Georgia photographer capturing families in the Atlanta Metro area. You can find more information about how to book a session for your own professional family photos on my contact page HERE.  I use natural light in the portraits I create as opposed to studio lights and backdrops. My favorite backdrop is nature (especially trees).  I would love to be your family photographer so that you will have framed prints of your favorite people hanging on the wall!
