These beautiful sisters were lucky enough to get two new puppies this year.  Meet Shrimp and Grits.  They were every bit as wiggily and playful as you would expect.  We laughed a lot and had fun.  When I got the call for this session it was very much like one for a newborn session.  We had to rush and fit it in ASAP to make sure we captured these puppies before they got any bigger.  Mom said “they are already changing!”

We are in the process of hanging their favorite images in a collection of Obrien Schridde black frames.  It is going to look so great.  I have these same frames hanging in my family room and I think I love them more each year.

Christmas Gift Idea:  Frames!  Of course.  Grandmas and family always love getting framed pictures of their family.  I also love to give framed chalkboards or mini ornament frames that can be hung on the tree.  I have several of these on hand if you need help.  If you want to try canvas, I know Canvas on Demand has a good product you will be happy with.  Instacanvas is what you need to check out if you are an Instagram user. (They have Gift Ideas to check out and just make sure you order by December 10th for Christmas delivery).

Merry Christmas!

We had a great time during this session.  It was a beautiful afternoon with lots of Fall colors and more use of the purples that I love so much.  Mom & Dad were easy going and the kids were just perfect.  I love that I got to “shoot” another middle schooler and that it was the same day he got braces!  What a milestone day for him and I’m glad I got to capture this family before these kids grow any bigger!

This brother and sister did whatever I asked but still were free to have a good time and be themselves so we got some fun candid moments of them together.  That is what I mean by perfect. 🙂

“Honey-Boo-Boo!”
 

It is a milestone for this family with their youngest graduating from Middle School this year.  It was the perfect time for a family session this Fall.  They have marked the end of middle school with a portrait and have their Christmas cards taken care of as well.  You can look at a previous post HERE to see how I love wearing Red so that the clothing ties right into Christmas portraits.

I had a great time during this photo session.  Everyone in their family is so laid back and full of laughter despite the very trying week they had experienced.  It wasn’t work to get them to relax and it was fun to be around them.

Congratulations on making it to your last year of Middle School, Will!  Word on the street is you are a “stud-muffin” in your pictures.  Maybe so…but watch out because Andrew’s session is next!

Heads up!

Save the Date!

Back to School!  What!?

It is hard to believe that this summer will ever end but I wanted the ones interested to mark their calenders NOW.  I am having my free back-to-school mini sessions on Friday, August 3rd all morning.  More details to come on scheduling.

Who can participate?  Any paid client EVER of mine that has preschool or school aged children.  It will be a quick 20 minute session at my Marietta Studio with an online gallery of 10+ images that you can order a la carte or I will have pre-designed collections you can purchase.  I personally LOVE the really bad school pictures that my kids have taken every year.  They are very nostalgic of my own school pictures and often very funny.  However, people have told me throughout the years “I wish you could do our school’s pictures.”  I can’t do that but this is my little gift to all my previous clients.  I especially love beginning of the year pictures because it is so amazing to look at them the following May and see how much each child has grown.

Happy Summer for now but I look forward to seeing some of you again in August before we start another milestone year!

Look how big this little guy has grown!  You can see a sample of his newborn session here.  We met again at The Studio for a milestone session now that he is sitting up.  He is actually pulling up and moving all about.  He will be like my first little boy and running before a year old, I think!

I’ll never get tired of this age.  They are so huggable, sweet and funny.  I love to see how curious they are about everything around them.  His parents are going to have a fun (and active) summer this year – one to remember for sure!

No plans for the weekend?  The Atlanta Baby & Child Expo will be happening at the Fox Theatre this weekend.  There will be lots of giveaways, samples and info for new and expecting parents.
