Baby Ian | Atlanta Baby Photographer

Saturday, December 12, 2009

Smyrna Baby Ian arrived a little ahead of schedule so I had the opportunity to photograph him two times!  The first time was for his newborn baby portrait session and the second time was just a couple of days after Thanksgiving for an extended family portrait session.  You would not believe what a poser he is for being such a brand new little guy.  When we got to the part of the family session where I was photographing him with his Grandparents, Aunts and Uncle he would look right at the camera and pose, I don’t think I’ve had a newborn ever do that every. single. time.  I think he has a future as a model!

Baby Ian is such a blessing to his family as they have waited for him a long time, what a wonderful early Christmas present he is.  I fell in love with his family and even his sweet dog Tanner.  Tanner would come stand by me and nuzzle his head on my hand and wait for me to pet him. Then he would put his head on my leg if I was sitting down.  I’m pretty sure Tanner is one of my most favorite client furry friends I’ve ever met.  Thank you so much to Ian’s Mommy & Daddy for choosing me to document your lives during this very special time.

Here are a few images to share from Ian’s newborn session

Did I mention I fell in love with this family?  I sure did.

I couldn’t resist showing you Ian’s super cute cousins, this one was from the family portrait session a few days after Thanksgiving, aren’t they cutie pies?  They liked me because I had Smarties for them!

Anna : One Year Later | Atlanta Baby Photographer

Thursday, December 3, 2009

Last year at this time I photographed beautiful Baby Anna shortly after she was born.  I was so excited when her Mommy told me that they wanted me to photograph her again this year.  I love love love seeing how much the babies I photograph have grown over the past year when I see them for their one year portrait sessions.  Miss Anna is *such* a sweet and beautiful little toddler.  She blows kisses and waves bye bye, oh she just melts my heart.  We had a lot of fun playing in the leaves and being silly that day.  Thank you so much B & P for inviting me back again this year.

Here are a few to share from my morning in Mableton with Anna:

Ava, Bryce & Gavin: One Year Later | Atlanta & Los Angeles Child Photographer

Sunday, May 3, 2009

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:

Quinlan: One Year Later | Atlanta & Los Angeles Baby Photographer

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

I just returned home this evening from a wonderful week in Los Angeles.  While there I had the opportunity to photograph many of my sweet little clients from last year that I first met as newborns and have all recently turned one.

My first stop was Redondo Beach to photograph sweet baby Quinlan.  She is not quite walking yet but it won’t be long (look out R & T!).  The minute you walk in to the door she smiles and giggles and just melts your heart with her GORGEOUS blue eyes.  I’m telling you folks, no Photoshopping on her eyes, they really are that blue.  It is so much fun seeing how much she has grown in the past year, I was so excited when her parents asked me to come back again this  year.  I’ll confess to loving them as well, even though her Dad likes to make fun of me for going to see New Kids on the Block while I was in LA. ;)

Here is Miss Quinlan one year ago:

Lisa Kelly - Angela these images are just divine. She has grown up so much and her eyes are just so striking. I adore the first image of her on the bed, so sweet.

Dena Robles - It is amazing to see how much they change in one short year, but also how much they stay the same. She is completely recognizable from newborn to one year. I especially love your color images in this series.

Kimberly Hill - She is just gorgeous and those last two images are heartbreakers. Your Los Angeles clients are so blessed that you're willing to continue to photograph their families. They understand quality and the intimate connection between a custom photographer and their clients. They won't settle for less than the best. Mom and Dad think they treasure these images now, but when this little beauty is waving goodbye as she drives off to college, these image will be priceless!

Aunt Becky - Well, I am biased being Quinlan's auntie, but there is no denying that you are a fantastically talented photographer and your ability to capture a child's character is wonderful... especially for the family! These are great photos and they will be showpieces in the extended family's homes!

MaryAnn - No wonder they asked you to come back to LA to capture their baby - these are absolutely to die for!!! How could anyone do better? I am in awe of your talent!!!!

Jane Eaton Hamilton - Wow, these are lovely, Angela. She is so freaking adorable. That last one would be, like, 30x40 up on my wall if she were mine. (She makes me miss mine little.)

4 1/2 | Atlanta Child Photographer

Tuesday, April 7, 2009

My four year old (wait correct that – 4 1/2 year old as she often reminds me) is one of the sassiest little girls on planet earth, she is also one of the funniest too.  While she does have her divalicious moments that turn my hair gray much sooner than it should be, she is a sweet caring and snuggly girl.  She loves pink & purple, kitty cats and shoes.  She would wear nothing but dresses that “spin” if she had her way.  She brings such a smile to my face each and every day, I’m truly blessed to be her Mommy.  (Now don’t think I’m leaving out my son, he is getting his own blog post next week!)

Recently I worked with a clothing designer to help her with her new Spring/Summer catalog.  She had several photographers photograph their daughters in her clothing.  When she has the catalog ready I will be sure to share the link, her designs are really cute and fun!  So I thought I would share a few of the photos of Morgan.  I think that by looking at these you can get a good idea of how sassy she is.  I’m quite certain that I could open up the dictionary and see her photo right next to the word sassy.  If you want to know what I looked like as a child, just take a look at her, she’s my carbon copy.  Of course she’s also been mistaken for Suri Cruise a few times (one time at Disneyland when we still lived in Los Angeles, the person thought I was the nanny and Morgan was Suri).  My collage software did a little hand and feet chopping on these, so just ignore that, no feet or hands were harmed in the creation of this collage ;) .
