Portraits of Atlanta & Los Angeles Newborn Babies, Children & Families
SubscribeI’m sure my regular blog readers will recognize this gorgeous set of twins from the last time I photographed them. You also might recognize them as the Trick or Treating Ballerinas from Cold Case on CBS. They are so much fun to photograph and they have the sweetest little personalities. They have *the* most amazing, loving parents and yes I’ve adopted myself to their family (shh I haven’t told them yet). Here are a few to share from our afternoon together.
- Oh. My. Goodness. They are beyond adorable, and your images are so wonderfully perfect, just the best approach for their look and age!
- Vibrant and full of life!! Great stuff:)
- Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing color and clarity!
- I loves these shots, such great color! Adorable!
- OMG that first image is just stunning, wow, the colours, everything. And the feet shot, too cute.
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:
- What an adorable little guy. His smile is so contagious!! Love the one with him and his mom, just a simply beautiful portrait!
- Angela, you are such an intuitive photographer, and therefore your images are full of heart. I LOVE these! They're fabulous, but I would expect nothing less from someone as talented as you.
- Oh my goodness!! What a handsome little fella! His mommy is going to be THRILLED with these!
- Oh Angela I am in LOVE with him! What a precious baby boy, your images are amazing.
- Angela, I'm smiling so big - you so clearly captured the happy essence of this little sweetie!!
- awwww he is so cute, these are really beautiful moments captured!
- Look at that smile! He just lights up the whole room with his grin. That's one sweet, happy boy. The ARMH is so lucky to have found you to share these moments with their precious families.
- Wow! These are so much fun! What a little Mr. Personality. I just love them all, but the mirror shot warms my heart. Way to go!
- These are so wonderful! I honestly got chills I loved them so much! What a special little guy!
- Oh wow, these are just precious! His bright eyes and smile really made me smile this morning - you did such a wonderful job capturing him. ARMH must be so thankful they have you, Angela! Great, great job!

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:
- what wonderful shots!! he is a doll! beautiful...
- Love these! What a handsome, happy little guy.
- Those two kids would have beautiful babies together!! They both have beautiful blue eyes!! Beautiful work!
- I love how color-coordinated and precious he is in the newborn shot. He grew into a handsome little guy didn't he? The last 2 images are so fun!
- OH that is a great session and to see them come back to you for his first year session! Great work. I love the Daddy shot in the van or car!
- I'll second-shoot the wedding! Those gorgeous kids, your personality, the laid back fun parents? Heck ya, I'm there!! I can't pick a favorite and I'm not emotionally involved so I'm guess Mom & Dad won't be able to either which equals an album. There, problems solved. :)
- omgoodness these are absolutely gorgeous, wow awesome session, I especially love the PJ's shot and the car window shot!
- 1 is such a fun age...how neat for the parents to be able to look back at how much he's grown since you 1st took his photos. :-)
- Oh my goodness, what an adorable little guy. I love the first one of him now with his blue jumpsuit on, his face just is lit up. And that last family shot is so happy, I adore it.
- oh wow! These are so fun! I love the one of him in the doorway!
- Just love everything about these! Great color inside and out!
- What a cutie pie!! Great shots, except now I want to stain my fence red and Shane is going to kill me!!
- Oh, my goodness, what a little dolly! Could he be any cuter in those skull and cross bone jammies? They look like they have such a fun family! What beautiful images you have of them.
- What a cutie! Love the jammies shot, and the family one, too! They have a lovely yard!
- LOVE that shot of him and dad sitting in the drivers seat!
- Such a treasure for this family! There will be many more fun times as he grows, but these days will never come again - these images are priceless!
- Love them all! The color is amazing on these.
- I must know where she got those pjs! They have to have them in pink right?
This afternoon I traveled to Buckhead to photograph a super cute 19 month old boy named Sean. Like most little ones his age he was super busy but he was so much fun and he gives *the* best high fives around! I think we finished up just in time because the minute I got back home it started hailing gum ball and golf ball sized hail! That is a new one for us, I think we only saw hail once in Los Angeles and it was itty bitty.
This first shot below was taken when Sean and I were hanging out while his Mommy & Daddy were getting ready. I always adore shots of babies and kids just doing their thing, wearing whatever they would normally wear if they were just being a kid and not a photo shoot participant. Thank you to Sean’s Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt & baby cousin for being so kind to me and for being so much fun! It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. Here are a few from our afternoon together:
- what a beautiful family, and a little handsome cutie he is! Love that first shot, shows so much personality in him!
- I can't pick a favorite. The excessive cuteness of him being just him in the first, the texture of the yummy bench and classic chambray/denim, or the pride in his parents' faces in the last. They need all of them!
- He looks like so much fun. I love the first black and white image especially.
- I love his hair! The picture on the bench is just perfect.
- Absolutely adorable!
- a total cutie and adorable family!
- LOVELY images Angela!! the parents will absolutely love these stunning pictures :)
- Love these! What an endearing little fellow he is!
- What a lovely family! Beautiful captures!
- He is adorable, and I totally agree, it is definitely cool to capture them before they become all "picture=fied", hehe. Great images as always.
- What a handsome little guy! Love the image on the bench. And the family shot is fantastic.
- That boy is the cutest! How did you not take that bench with you? Beautiful photos.
- Oh he is a super cutie! Love that one of him on the bench. He looks so cute propped up there. :)
- What a cutie!
Yesterday I visited little Miss Laura Beth and her parents. She just recently turned one and was one of *the* most cooperative little ones I have ever photographed. She was happy the entire time and had the best little disposition. I wanted to sneak her in to my camera bag and bring her home with me. She was quite the character and already has a fantastic sense of humor. She had the most amazing light blue eyes! Here are a few to share from our morning together…
For this shot I said raise your hand if you just turned one and then she did and showed me how old she was….ok not really but I loved how she was holding one finger up! 
What is the best part about a portrait session with me? Why it’s the reflector that sounds like a DJ scratching vinyl. Yep we did a little DJ’ing and playing around with the reflector. Toddlers *LOVE* my reflector! Here’s a outtake from our playtime with it.
- Such a sweet little thing, lovely portraits!
