Father’s Day Fun

I don’t always get around to sharing all of my sessions online so in honor of Father’s Day I went back a few months to find one showcasing Dad. The images I captured definitely showed all personalities in this family with Dad being thoughtful as well as goofy and silly with the kids. What great memories to remember Dad rolling in the grass and having fun.

We saw Pixar’s Inside Out on Friday when it opened. Not to give too much away, but when the main character, Riley, lost her goofball-ness I teared up a little. Men seem to hold on to their goofball personalities more than most ladies and it is fun to see how being a Dad can really bring it out of them.

As a side note: We saw Inside Out at the newly remodeled AMC at Parkway Point. I probably would have been a fan of the reserved seating had I been anywhere except the first row.  Two thumbs up for the reclining seats and lumbar pillow. I’m a fan of few animated movies but this one was pretty good. If you cried at Toy Story 3, you will probably tear up (or weep) with this one too. I would say that it’s just me but the Mom next to me was wiping her eyes a LOT.  A good movie to see this summer especially since you can take the whole family.

Happy Father’s Day!

If you don’t have big Father’s Day Fun planned IMDb has a list of the best movies to watch with Dad. Hide away inside and take in one of these Father-Flicks here. Field of Dreams is #1 and that is tolerable although I would still pick anything with Will Ferrell first!

All in the family sistersNew Baby Sister | Love

family sistersA new baby sister has finally arrived.  Welcome to the newest member of this family!  She is beautiful and very smiley with a loving big sister to show her the ropes and give lots of kisses. Like all second babies, she is a very good sport and doesn’t flinch a bit when her big sister is hugging her tight. sister love baby sister new baby sisterMom is handling two babies at the same time so well (whether she realizes it or not). Whew! I imagine exhaustion has really set in since we last saw each other. I’m glad I was there to capture so many smiles and kisses. That is what we hope to remember from those early days. sisterBig Sister was oh-so-sweet and a busy bee.  She was asleep by the time I was leaving!

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.

siblings summer marietta dresses kids by lake marietta ga 3 brother sister marietta summerA session share from when the weather was a bit warmer.  I love these kids.  Their personalities are so different and it is fun to interact with each of them by themselves.  It doesn’t hurt that they are super-cute!  I love the matching Chevron pink dresses on the sisters.  My philosophy is to match them as long as they will let you.  I did with my boys!

newborn brother siblings black whiteIt is always like stepping back in time for me when I watch baby boy clients grow into active toddlers and all of a sudden they become the BIG brother.  I can almost picture what is in store for this family with two little boys just a couple of years apart.  I never have high expectations of the toddler and newborn sibling picture that I take.  You just never know what might happen and I feel like whatever that moment holds is wonderful and will be cherished more and more.  One day big brother will be 12 like mine and you will laugh at how you thought he was so huge at 2 to 3 years old.  These two boys just happened to be a dream.  Little brother was determined not to go to sleep for me and I’m so happy we now have wide-eyed portraits of him.  Have you ever seen a newborn sit up and pose for the family photo? family newborn posed mariettaLittle brother did eventually go to sleep so we could get the popular curled up poses.  The longer I am in this business, the more I appreciate lifestyle photography and capturing the whole family together.  The relationships and moments are what we really want to remember and what I strive to capture in a beautiful way.

Newborn Photography Tip: When taking a picture of your young child and newborn, always have another spotter present.  Even though this big brother was a sweetheart and so agreeable, Mom and Dad were on each side ready to protect their newborn if anything went wrong.  No picture is worth putting a little one in harm’s way. Don’t take any chances or mimic a lot of the newborn poses you see online (which are actually composites created in Photoshop and not even possible in real life). newborn awake black whiteYou can take a look at my last post to catch a glimpse of his airplane birth announcements.

It is a lot more fun with three kids! | Marietta, Gerogia

It was fun spending time with this family.  I think we may have run a lot…that is pretty typical with any session that includes an 18 month old!  I love how busy and curious they always are. It is hard to believe that sweet little Grace is already 18 months old! This was a milestone session for Grace.  She is so cute and still has just a little bit of baby in her but you can see she is really a toddler now and on her way to being a big-girl 2 year old.  It is bittersweet that she has to grow up so fast. You want to keep the third one small longer (I think) but it will be fun to hear what she has to say soon!

Merry Christmas to this family.  How fun Christmas morning will be with three kids under the age of Six!

high school senior portraitsWhere has the time gone? I can’t believe Shelly is already a Senior in High School and thinking about colleges.  She is so smart I know she will have many to choose from!  {One word for you, Shelly: AUBURN!}  Her Mom and I have been waiting for four years to be able to take her Senior Pictures. It was so much fun and I think she is gorgeous inside and out.  high school senior portraits high school senior portraits
