atlanta-yearbook dedications

It is that time of year! Yearbook dedications and tribute pages are typically due to school yearbook committees at the first part of the year. I offer complimentary design for my full portrait family sessions through October. Designs are custom to each child with you adding your tribute wording. Often we use a student’s favorite colors and style for design. However, I love when the boys says “surprise me!” I think the Chalkboard background is my favorite.

Portrait Sessions should be scheduled 3 weeks to a month before tributes are due to your school. We can include an updated individual portrait of your middle school or high school student and a smaller size of the full family. Bonus – Christmas Card picture taken care of! 😉  Parents usually have a lot of questions about how this is done but it is easy…except for coming up with the perfect words straight from your heart to convey to your child!

A tribute page is a wonderful memento for your graduating child (and yourself). You will be so glad you did this in May!

 

 

 

marietta family fourBaby Luke is the newest addition to this precious Marietta family of four. I wish every newborn in the world could be loved on like this one! He is so sweet and I love seeing how much he looks like his big brother. I wonder if he will be as musical? little boys brother mother of four family

family of four mother little boy brother family-father-photoI just love the black and white pictures. So timeless and I know firsthand how precious the pictures below of these brothers “when they were little” will become in no time at all.   marietta newobrn family

This is a lovely family and I am excited to add to their growing wall gallery as their baby boys are born and grow bigger and bigger. What matters most to them hangs on the wall in a collection to enjoy at all times!

 

Newborn Sessions

***Newborn sessions are best held before 2 weeks of age. Lifestyle family sessions capturing both Mom, Dad and siblings are the best memories to capture at this special time of life.

Just a few of my favorite families

 

 

February is here and I am still writing the wrong year. It is already flying by! It is never too late to thank all my clients who continually trust me to capture their growing families year after year. I love them all in their various sizes and stages and I hope they will remember 2015 fondly when they look at their beautiful portraits.  Thank you for making last year an amazing experience and 2016 so far is just as great for Lisa Phillipson Photography. 🙂

 

I’m looking forward to everything 2016 holds for my photography business. Just like the families I photograph, my business grows and changes and there is always something exciting going on. I will be scheduling families again by the end of February and that is where my heart really is. So far this year I have created several albums for clients that I am now waiting to arrive. I love holding something tangible as a great reminder of a fun session. I also photographed my friend, Luke Lantta, for a political campaign which was something different for me but a pleasure to do. I have another Our Town photo shoot next week and I can’t wait to reveal which family will be on the March cover! More on all of this soon including a recap of my time at the Ritz Carlton, Reynold’s Plantation for the National Association of Professional Child Photographers annual conference.

 

Happy New Year!

(Late on social media but see this post to know I at least ordered my Valentine’s Day cards on time!)

family marietta family mariettaSharing a session from this summer in Marietta.  It was this little guy’s 3 year old pictures and his Mom wanted to capture his great love of trains.  He was super serious and you could see the wheels turning in his head at all times.  My boys loved trains and I miss those days when you were always aware anytime you saw trains or even the tracks. I loved this one’s curiosity and luckily Dad was very diligent in following and keeping up with him. We took advantage of the occasion to capture some family portraits while we were at it. It was great to see who this family has become since their last professional photo session. family mariettaThe picture below is one of my favorites of this year. I love the relationship between Mom and daughter and I’m glad I was with them in the moment to capture this. It is “so them.” 🙂 family marietta
