Baby Lexi | Buckhead – Atlanta Baby Photographer

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:

Love the mama & baby shot – agreed that Daddy needs it for his office… and his wallet… and the mirror while he’s shaving… and the visor of his car… and his cell phone… and his iPod… and above the bed… okay, maybe not above the bed. But the second one just grabs your heart. What a treasure!

Axyl | Acworth Newborn Photographer

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!

axylblog2

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

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!

Wow, what a fantastic idea! I can’t wait to see what people say about their nominees!

Baby Anna | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

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!

Sarasota Wedding Photographer - October 28, 2009 - 9:32 am

I was looking through your blog and I have to say that your pictures are fabulous. The last pic is my favorite, how cute. I like how you catch perfect moments – great job. Keep up the good work. Natascha

[...] 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.

Baby Elizabeth | Marietta Newborn Photographer

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.
