Smyrna Preschool Shoes
Last month I had the privilege of photographing many preschoolers for their annual school portraits. In past years I have found myself taking a few snapshots of their adorable shoes. Their Mamas do such a good job of dressing them! This year I decided to capture even more of them and I especially loved the commentary from the kids about their shoes.

Bonus, she told me about her toenail polish. 🙂
I love this beautiful Smyrna family and I’m so happy to share their Fall Session. I love the denim, navy, and purple in these pictures. Navy is always my go-to but I love how purple stands out especially in the Fall. Really cute little girls never hurt either. 🙂 I was happy to capture the “sister-picture” that these sweet girls always want. At this mornings Upward Basketball game, the little one said “Mrs. Lisa we have gotten lots of compliments on your pictures.” One day when her parents aren’t looking I am going to take her home with me!
I love the timeless feel of black and white. Always will.
Sharing one of my favorite Marietta Families…besides being the cutest things ever, they are very fun. I always love spending time with them and seeing the world in a new way through their eyes. They are so curious and they make me pay attention to things I might overlook in this big world.
Aren’t they going to have a gorgeous Christmas Card Picture this year?
Handsome boys, sweet family, my favorite color–blue, and some gorgeous red hair makes this a special summer session share for me. I loved meeting this family and documenting them at this time in their lives. It really is a milestone for their youngest going back to school for his last year in preschool. As teenagers, this is also a special time. They will be Seniors in High School before they can even believe it. In not even 3 years the portrait of this family will look very different so glad we captured them this summer. Lucky for us we enjoyed one of Atlanta’s very cool mornings on this day. I have lucked out with many of them this summer. I don’t guess we will ever escape the humidity?   😉
Photographer’s Tip: True that blue is my favorite color. Besides that, I love the way it pops in a natural setting of greens and browns. Don’t be afraid of color when dressing for your photo session. Find a color you look great in that also pops against your location and setting. Green might not have been the best color in this setting but it would be great in an urban setting with lots of brick.
How 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!
Thanks for making my afternoon in Smyrna lots of fun, sweet girl!
A quick session share of Jakester. He is 5 now and quite the smart little man. You can see the wheels turning in his head and I just love his personality. I also love his little boy smile. I wonder if he will be missing any teeth this time next year? His Mom is so good about using his birthday as a the milestone to get a portrait made of him. Birthdays are the perfect way to remember to do that. 4-5 years old is a great age to have a professional photograph of your child. They start losing teeth and their looks really change the closer they get to first grade.
I think he looks great in both red and blue. What red, white and blue will you be wearing tomorrow?
Take advantage of any 4th of July sales next week and stock up on red clothing. A lot of them will look great in the Fall when you are thinking about Christmas card pictures. Little boys in red or navy blue polo shirts always look great.
Happy Independence day!
