Baby Ian | Atlanta Baby Photographer

Angela — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:18:29 +0000

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!

Baby Joshua: 10 Days Old

Angela — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 12:41:38 +0000

Yesterday I traveled to Buckhead here in Atlanta to photograph a super cute 10 day old baby boy Joshua. I think Atlanta is going through a boom of baby boys, he is my fourth newborn boy in a row and I have another one in just a couple of weeks who is scheduled to arrive.

I’ve been busy with commercial work so I have several portrait clients that I need to share with all of you, some very sweet babies and kids here in Atlanta! I’ll be in Los Angeles in November seeing some of my wonderful portrait clients there for fall portraits.

Here’s a few sneak peek shots for Joshua’s family and friends. Thank you to his wonderful parents for welcoming to your home and for being so kind. PS – the cheesecake was FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Ava Joy: 7 Days Old | Atlanta Newborn Baby Photographer

This morning I traveled to Smyrna to photograph brand new baby Ava Joy. She decided to arrive almost two weeks early and I told her Mommy that I think she just didn’t want to miss out on all of the 4th of July festivities. One of the things that I try to tell everyone is just how important it is to try and have your newborn photographed before the two week mark. It makes so much difference in how the session flows. At the one week mark they are still very sleepy, they are easy to pose and their baby acne has typically not shown up yet. There is no such thing as too early for a newborn portrait session, I’ve photographed several babies who were only 2-3 days old.

Miss Ava was so perfect and sweet for us this morning, I could have just sat and held her all day. She had so much hair, oh how she melted my heart. Congratulations to the M family, it was so wonderful to spend the morning with you!

Here are a few to share from our morning together…

Emma Grace: 7 days old | Marrietta Newborn Baby Photographer

Angela — Sat, 30 May 2009 16:12:03 +0000

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!

Baby Lexi | Buckhead – Atlanta Baby Photographer

Angela — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 03:44:55 +0000

Today I traveled to Buckhead to meet five week old Baby Lexi and her parents. This little one was ready to party and did not want to sleep, I think she thought that we were going to have fun without her or something or maybe we grown ups were just so cool that she couldn’t miss a moment of anything. I think she really liked me because I was able to get her to fall asleep in my arms, I’m pretty good at the shooshing sound repeatedly (my white noise machine decided to go on vacation so *I* was the noise machine today, kicking it old school for sure ). She was so super cute and sweet, I probably could have just sat and held her all day. Thank you to Miss Lexi’s wonderful parents for having me over today, I appreciate your kindness and the good conversation. Here are a few to share from today:

Axyl | Acworth Newborn Photographer

Angela — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 19:47:38 +0000

My little newborn client Axyl just was not ready to come in to this world when he was supposed to, he decided to go beyond his due date and hang out in his beautiful mommy’s tummy for quite a while! Oh he was certainly worth the wait, he is so cute and his hair is a little red, I love it. When I was holding him he fell right to sleep on my chest and didn’t make a peep. I could have just sat there all day holding him, he is a good little snuggler!

His Mom & Dad had this clock table so of course we had to put him on it and set it to the time he was born. I couldn’t get exactly right above it even on the ladder, but that’s ok I still think it looks pretty cool.

Giving is Awesome

Angela — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 05:26:46 +0000

Last year I gave away a portrait session and prints to a deserving family who was nominated by a friend. This year I joined in the giving going on over at http://www.givingisawesome.com . Kristen from Essential Imagery put all of this together and photographers from around the world are donating their time, talent and art to deserving families all around the world. The concept is simple…

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.) Times are tough, many people have lost their homes, jobs and hope. Custom portraiture is the last thing they are able to afford right now.

* The nominee must reside in Atlanta, GA or immediate surrounding areas. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

*You must email the nomination and story to giving@angelacalderon.com

I am so excited about this and I hope that you will all take a few minutes and think of someone who you could nominate to receive this very special gift!

Baby Anna | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

Angela — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 20:56:56 +0000

Today I traveled to Mableton to photograph a newborn baby girl who is only six days old. I always tell my clients and potential clients that it is so important to have their newborns photographed within their first two weeks because it makes such a difference. Anna was a true testament to that, she was so sleepy and laid back, I think I could have just sat and looked at her all day. She almost shares a birthday with her Dad, so there were quite a few of us scorpios in the house today! Thank you to Anna’s wonderful parents, they were amazing and so sweet and kind.

Oh, she is such a little heartbreaker at only six days old, here are a few from our morning together…

I love it when I catch babies mid-yawn, this modeling thing is hard work!

Baby Elizabeth | Marietta Newborn Photographer

Angela — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 21:08:25 +0000

Earlier this week I traveled to Marietta to photograph a brand new baby girl. Her beautiful Mommy came in last month for her maternity session and now I had the chance to meet her sweet baby.

Miss Elizabeth did not want to go to sleep, she liked staying up and hanging out with us. I’m telling you, these newborns love partying with me. She was so alert and was so tiny and cute. Finally she got tired of us fussing with her and she took a little nap. I love photographing newborns, its such an amazing time for their families and to see how much they change in the first year is mind boggling.

Thank you to the M family for welcoming me to your home and being so kind, it was so much fun and I can’t wait until our next portrait session!

Her Mommy had this beautiful scarf that she got when she went to Paris, I love the color and it made a perfect wrap for baby E.
