Skip the mall lines to tell the big guy what is on your wish list this year. Take your own photos or yours truly will be there for professional shots to purchase online at a later date.

Saturday, December 10 + Sunday, December 11

I look forward to seeing you there!

our town photographer

I was happy to be the Our Town Photographer this month.

Meet the Mathurs! If you live in the Enclave, I’m sure you know one of these four or at least their spunky dog, Dempsey!  They are the perfect Smyrna Family to be on the November Cover of Our Town.

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.

ourtown familythe latest cover of our town magazine monthly

Read the issue HERE

ourtown family ourtown family ourtown familyI’ve known the Cochrans for many years so what a surprise when we were matched up for the latest Our Town. There couldn’t be a more perfect family to be featured on the cover and when we added their new puppy, Buddy, we had cuteness overload! They were a little nervous about bringing Buddy because he isn’t known for his…good behavior (yet).  I’ve worked with lots of puppies in photo sessions so I felt confident he should be there and he definitely did not disappoint. Look how good he is in these pictures! Hopefully he didn’t go home and chew up all their shoes.

ourtown family ourtown familyThis is a Vinings Estates family and the kids go to Whitefield Academy in Mableton where the whole family is very active. What better place for a family portrait than at the place where they spend so much time. Whitefield was very generous and were happy to have us shoot on their campus. The weather had turned cold and rainy again and we rescheduled at least once to avoid SNOW at our session. In Atlanta, we think of warmer weather for March and flowers so we had hoped for a more spring-like setting. Luckily we had bright sun on the day we shot and we avoided the rain and snow after all.

 

Buddy is a Boykin Spaniel.

family atlanta thank you

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!)
