This session was one I was working on from the end of last year and thought I would share.  I just love looking at this face!  By the beautiful colors you can tell it was a great day in Atlanta for pictures.  We were capturing little Charlie-Bear’s first birthday.  I was the lucky photographer that got to document the first time he ever had sugar when he had a red velvet cupcake (what a good Southern boy!).  His faces were hilarious and very appropriate that he wasn’t so sure about it because his parents are Dentists.  I bet they will be thrilled if he turns his nose to sweets!

He has the most pleasant face and is such a sweet boy. I just love looking at him.

Happy Birthday, Charlie-Bear!

Hello

and

Goodbye

Little Eva did not stay in her shell and hide this day.  She came out to play and like most all of the 20 month olds I see, ran and ran and ran.  I know toddlers at this age are going to run as far as they can and never look back.  Too many places to go and things to see (and not to mention the energy!).  I had to laugh with her outfit changes when her Mom had to chase her down naked and wrestle to get clothes on her.  What a joy she is!  I bet there is a lot of laughter in her home and, of course, a great workout trying to keep up with her!

I’m especially happy for people when they have little children in their homes at Christmas time.  Everything seems a little more fun and exciting.

Merry Christmas!

I wanted to make sure Riley’s little brother got equal time on my blog.  He is quite the Ham and has such a fun personality.  He loves his big sister SO much and it shows.  He certainly completes this family and my favorite thing is how they all laugh at his silly faces and little-boy-antics.  From experience, I have to say a good sense of humor is a must in raising little boys.  🙂

I had a fun session with this Smyrna Family.  The evening colors were amazing this day and I loved the purples and blues we picked out for them to wear.  There were too many good ones to choose from but I thought the ones of Riley and her Mom were really special.  Often as mothers we want to capture our children and remember how they were when they were young.  It is a gift for us.  I think it is also such a gift to a child to have pictures of US while we are young too!  I know Riley will treasure the images that show how much her Mom loves her long into adulthood and forever.

Mom did a great job of getting the family pulled together and on time for a photo session.  At the end of it she had to pick up Riley’s friend and host a spend-the-night birthday party with several girls.  I can appreciate the stress of all of this and thought I would note it on my blog for the world to know how super she is.  I am a terrible party-thrower and avoid them for my own children so I regret not having a glass of wine for her.  🙂

Congrats, Riley, for making it to Double Digits!  Just like it was for my family this week, a major milestone for you AND your Mom!  Riley and my Evan have gone to church and pre-school together since they were itty-bitty and I’m so happy to see how nice they have both grown up.  They will be having their Senior Pictures taken before we know it (boo!).

Note: In general, almost all mommys hate the way they look in pictures.  Especially a mommy that just had a baby will feel this way!  I also cringe when I have to be in front of camera.  All I have to say about it is that in 50 (or even) 20 years you will think you looked great!

We were capturing sweet Julianna at 18 months and while she is still the baby of the family.  I can’t wait to see what baby #3 for this family is going to be like.  Just like my middle child, Julianna was born to be in the middle and a little on the crazy side.  I love her – one of my all time favorite little girls and who wouldn’t die for those curls?

I love the belly shots…one kid shows their belly and they all have to show it.  🙂

We had beautiful light this morning.  You would think it was late afternoon and not middle of the morning from the looks of the warm yellow light in the background. This session was to mark this little girl at two years old.  I don’t think her brother was originally coming and I told Mom he just had to (why not catch him at 4?).  They were both just as precious and sweet as these images show them to be.  Full of life and fun – we discovered many things on this Fall morning.  The top image above is one of my favorites and I was so glad it was his Mom’s too.  It will be one of her framed pieces on her wall in a collection of espresso brown Organic Bloom frames (my favorite) and I can’t wait to see it!

And so we don’t overshadow our sweet 2 year old girl, here are some more of her.  I love her in blue but doesn’t the other dress just scream FALL to you?  It is great how different color clothing, lighting and your setting can change the look of a picture.
