Last month I had the chance to photograph a beautiful high school senior named Emily. When I was scheduling the session with her Mom she told me that Emily is often approached by modeling agencies and turns them down because it’s just not her thing. She said that she wasn’t just being biased because she is her daughter, but she thinks she is one of the most beautiful girls she’s ever seen. That statement was very true, Emily is such a gorgeous girl, but beyond that she is so sweet and smart. In fact, she is so smart that she graduated from high school a year early! Good luck at college Emily! Here are a few to share from our afternoon together.




I am *very* behind on my blogging and I have so many beautiful babies, children & families to share with you so I promise to be better with updating my blog. My little ones are out of school so they keep me pretty busy in addition to my wonderful clients here in Atlanta.
Yesterday I went to Marietta to photograph a beautiful one week old baby girl named Emma Grace. I did her Mommy’s maternity portraits a few months ago so it was wonderful to see her again but this time as a Mother. Emma was so cooperative and sometimes she would even pose herself. Her Mom, Dad & Grandma were smiling so big and beaming with pride and already have so much love for their brand new baby girl. Here are a few portraits from our session yesterday. Welcome to the world Emma!



Last year about this time I had this wonderful client family that had a gorgeous three year old little girl named Ava. They were expecting identical twin boys just a few weeks after I did their maternity session and I was lucky enough to get to go back for the newborn session. This is one gorgeous family y’all (see the southerner in me is creeping back in to my daily vocabulary)! Not only are they beautiful but they are such a wonderful sweet and loving family and I was thrilled when they hired me again this year when I was in LA. Miss Ava has grown in to a confident and spirited four year old who loves Hello Kitty and being silly and the boys, oh my goodness what a difference a year makes. These two little heart breakers who were so tiny the last time I saw them, were now busy one year olds that cried when I started to leave. Yes it’s true they cried when I was leaving. Oh how they melted my heart.
Here is what they looked like this time last year:

Here they are just one year later:



My good friends at the Atlanta Ronald McDonald House called and told me about a little boy who has been staying with them for the past two months. Today was his last day as he received the green light to go home, so I stopped by to get a few snapshots to document the occasion. His Mom said that she is so thankful for ARMH and it was a wonderful experience but she will be so glad to finally be home to her own bed. I can’t blame her, I think we all agree that there is truly no place like home, but like I said before, the Ronald McDonald House comes really close to being just like home.
Ty Christian just turned three years old and he was on the go today! He is such a sweetheart and had so much personality. I think he had a lot of fun during our time together, I know I did. To Ty & his Mommy and my friends at Ronald McDonald House, thank you again for inviting me to share in this very special day. Here are a few photos to share from our afternoon together:





Carson is another one of my adorable little Los Angeles clients that just turned one. I have big plans for Carson, he just doesn’t know it yet. I’ve decided that he is going to marry Quinlan (see the blog post prior to this one) and I’m going to photograph my first ever wedding when their big day happens. Carson & Quinlan’s parents are friends so I think it would work out quite nicely! Carson is such a little cutie pie and like Quinlan he isn’t walking yet but he’s so close. His Dad has this really cool old Jeep that he restored and you know I had to incorporate that in to our session. Carson’s mom has this amazing eye for detail and decorating, their home has so many great spots (we really took advantage of that with his newborn session). This time we spent a lot of time outdoors since Carson is on the move. It was so great seeing them again, such an awesome family that I adore.
Here is Carson one year ago:

Here he is now:
