baby shower girl pink ice cream jenis baby shower pink peony girlMy sweet friends (who happen to be awesome photographers) know how to throw an awesome baby shower.  We spent yesterday morning at Jeni’s Ice Cream in West Side (Howell Mill Road, Atlanta) celebrating Alice Park’s baby girl. We can’t wait to meet her!  We love all the many little boys between us but there is just something special about little girls.  And the clothes are more fun too… jenis ice cream westside babygirl

Thanks to Jeni’s Ice Cream for letting us spend the morning with you.  It was quite a treat to end with your splendid ice cream. baby shower photographer pink girlEveryone helped contribute all the pink details that made this shower so girly and special.  Crystal, was lucky enough to have amazing pink peonies blooming in her yard (Alice’s favorite). Elizabeth had a deeper flower color in her garden, Katie and Jenny have such great style and were able to pull table setting pieces together and Liana’s amazing chicken salad was a big hit. We missed our friends that couldn’t attend and look forward to gathering again when the newest Park family member arrives!

Alice loved her monogrammed camera strap from some of the ladies.  We can’t wait to learn the name of Baby Girl Park so we can monogram something for her (and make her a proper Southern girl)!

fun smyrna photographerHow do you have fun in Smyrna? That is simple! You take a 2 year old to run and play and it doesn’t hurt having her extra fun dad full of tickles and throws in the air just for her. She laughed so hard her eyes were shut tight – the best kind of laugh! You will see things in a new way with a toddler. It is a lot more exciting to find flowers or see ducks and turtles through the eyes of a little one.  This little girl is precious and full of fun.  Hard to believe she will be a big sister soon! fun smyrna photographer fun smyrna photographer baby

Thanks for making my afternoon in Smyrna lots of fun, sweet girl!

I had so much fun photographing this family. They were easy-going and pretty funny.  It was a milestone for this family because their youngest has graduated from high school and they will now have two in college.  This was probably the last time they will have professional portraits made until someone gets married.  They certainly made the most of it and now have beautiful portraits hanging in their home to always remember this time.  I always encourage families with High School Seniors to have a family photo session after graduation while everyone is still home and able to take part.  It is amazing how hard it is to get everyone together once kids start moving away.

It is a great time for High School Seniors to have their portraits made. I still have some spots just for Seniors next month so contact me if you need more details.  The light in the late afternoon is gorgeous!

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.

newborn photographer

I have had the priviledge of meeting several little newborn babies lately and this is one of them. Little Sofia is just as sweet and laid back as she seems in these pictures.  I love her black hair and sweet smile.  She is one of my baby plan clients and I am already anticipating the huge smiles we will see at her next session!

I love the sweet sleeping pictures of newborns and black and white is so classic and timeless to me.  The older I get, the more I am finding it important to get Mommies and Daddies in the pictures with their new bundles of joy.  That time can’t be recaptured.  I love shooting in homes to get lifestyle shots of what life was like “way back when.”  As Sofia grows up she will have a little glimpse of what life was like when she came into the world and how much her parents adored her.

On the 5th day of Christmas…

A handsome Senior High School boy

Atlanta, Georgia

A Senior Boy Session is definitely different than a Senior Girl Session (usually).  The girls have lots of ideas and we try all kinds of new things.  The boys do whatever I ask of them and are there just to make their Mom happy.  This young man was no exception – so polite and I liked him immediately.  He did not even mind sitting next to his twin brothers for a quick Christmas Card shot!  😉

Looking for a good teenage boy Christmas Gift? I have no ideas for you.  I’m assuming something electronic would be good.  Even my 11 year old doesn’t give me ideas and says “anything is fine, there is nothing I want.”  Is this where having a boy starts to pay off?

Gift Idea: I can frame and wrap a gift certificate for a customized Senior Portrait Session.  I will be doing these again starting in February and it applies for Class of 2013 and Class of 2014 Seniors.  Email me for details.

Camera: I’m sure I am biased but I think a nice camera is a great gift for anyone especially a teenager.  I don’t know that much about all the brands and what options are out there, but I know I loved the Canon Rebel I had years ago. You can check this link or Costco to see what has the better price.  Unless you know a lot about it, purchase the camera with the kit so you have all the pieces needed and make sure you pull out the battery and charge it before Christmas morning.  What a bummer to open it and not get to use it right away.

Merry Christmas!
