Anna : One Year Later | Atlanta Baby Photographer

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:

Don’t you just love how she has her leg kicked out to the side on the one with her Dad?  I sure do.

What a fantastic session! Did the parents want them all or what? She looks so happy and that is not ALWAYS easy to capture at that age. Great work.

NOw, she is ONE HAPPY little girl. I love these! They are fantastic. They will have these on their wall and smile (or giggle) at these everyday. They just make you smile. Gorgeous photography!

Looks like a great session. I love the father holding her hand on the sidewalk.

Michelle - March 1, 2010 - 5:04 pm

She looks like quite the little character. You must have had a great time with her. :) I love how you captured her with her Daddy. Such a simple little moment that she will always love.

Alyssa - March 5, 2010 - 11:05 am

4 1/2 | Atlanta Child Photographer

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 ;) .

she is a beauty! I love her hair (the bangs). The cheery outfits are amazingly beautiful too. What collage program do you use? I haven’t found one to use yet. Would love to find a good one for my senior sessions coming up.

Cindy - April 7, 2009 - 8:56 am

She is SO adorable!! She not only looks like you, but I think we all know where she got her personality. :D :D

Terrilyn - April 7, 2009 - 10:14 am

Just perfect Angela! I love that outfit!! She is positively adorable. So much spunk!

Dena Robles - April 7, 2009 - 10:40 am

You are not kidding about the sassy part are you? Those adorable outfits, your color and her sassy grin and poses are all a perfect marriage!

Joyce - April 7, 2009 - 10:41 am

These are gorgeous!! Signed, mom of a sassy 4 1/2 year old too. :)

Angela - April 7, 2009 - 10:42 am

she is getting so big! Beautiful images!!!!

Kristie Chadwick - April 7, 2009 - 11:40 am

I just loe the colors in this one, AWESOME! Such a cute girl.

Kimberly Hill - April 7, 2009 - 11:52 am

PER*SON*AL*I*TY!! Yep, AngelaMiniMe to the hilt! I just love that sassy girl, and her mama too. (P.S. Mia was 4-and-a-half-and-three-quarters) LOL!

meggan - April 7, 2009 - 12:28 pm

You are the color queen! I bow to you! Morgan is the color princess – she’s so cute and sassy – big kisses and hugs to her!

Jen Rinaldi Photography - April 7, 2009 - 1:04 pm

What a sweetheart! I can tell from the photos she is full of personality and charm. Great collection – she showed off the clothing wonderfully!

ruth williams - April 7, 2009 - 1:14 pm

oh my goodness she has gotten SOOOOOO BIG! Beautiful :)

Lisa Kelly - April 7, 2009 - 1:48 pm

She is just so gorgeous and the colours here are to die for. Gorgeous outfit. I can see why she gets mistaken for Suri. I think I remember you sharing some photos of Morgan at Disneyland and I thought there was a resemblance then. These images are just yummy.

PamN - April 7, 2009 - 2:48 pm

Look at the way she works the camera!!! Move to Hollywood NOW!

Velia - April 7, 2009 - 6:42 pm

Jennifer gagliardi - April 8, 2009 - 1:43 pm

Beautiful! She is a Suri look alike!

Pammy - April 8, 2009 - 4:13 pm

She might look like Suri Cruise, but Morgan has more spunk and attitude and it shows in the photos! Adorable!

sara - April 8, 2009 - 7:06 pm

She’s super cute. Can’t wait to hear where the outfit is from. Sooo adorable!

Holli - April 8, 2009 - 9:20 pm

Oh these are super cute Angela! Hope she got to keep some of the outfits. My daughters would not want to give them back!

Sharon - April 9, 2009 - 5:28 pm

I love the picture of Morgan at the table.She is so much like you were.We can’t wait to see Spencer’s blog.
Love to you all,Sharon

Cari Long - April 16, 2009 - 2:13 pm

Cari Long - April 16, 2009 - 2:14 pm

She is a doll! I just love the vibrant colors in these images – it seems to match her personality!

ashley mcnamara - April 20, 2009 - 8:42 am

She really is the cutest thing ever! Love those outfits!

Ashley - April 22, 2009 - 9:36 pm

She is adorable!! BIG Personality for sure. I have seen the blue door in another picture…. where is that at?

Angela Smith - January 2, 2010 - 3:02 pm

Oh my gosh, what WONDERFUL color! Spectacular shots! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

Oh the weather outside is… | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

frightful…but this little one was sooooo delightful.  Ok so it wasnt really frightful but it was COLD, 27 degrees cold, that’s pretty extreme for my California blood.

This morning I traveled to Dunwoody to photograph this beautiful 15 month old girl.  She was so cute, and had the biggest beautiful chocolate brown eyes!  She was a talker too, I think she is really advanced for her age, she had quite the vocabulary.

Here are a few photos from our morning together, what a cutie pie she was!

Michelle Haley - November 23, 2008 - 4:54 pm

I love her in the leaves…so colorful!

William & Sofia | Atlanta Twin Photographer

Back in August I worked with this cutie pie set of twins for a commercial shoot.  Today they were my portrait clients and they can now sit up!  They were so cute and I just love it when babies are newly sitting, they are just so proud of themselves and their new skill!

Thank you to the V family for welcoming me to your home!  You are such a sweet family and I had a wonderful time!

Sofia’s Mommy told me that she is a very serious baby, she sure is cute though and we managed to get some smiles from her, but this is her serious look.

Little Will took a power nap and he was such a happy camper when he woke up!  Check out their dog Lenox sitting behind him, he was the best dog ever.  So gentle with the babies and such a little love.

Together in the rocking chair…

Last but not least, their beautiful Mommy & Daddy!

Love the pics!! We had so much fun and can’t wait to see the rest!!! Thank you so much!

Nina - November 3, 2008 - 7:15 am

Beautiful family! I love serious babies. You wonder what they’re thinking :)

Anna-Karin - November 4, 2008 - 12:09 am

I just love the one with the dog. Every kid needs a dog as a best friend and this image shows that.

Officially Initiated

? 1. Have law enforcement show up at your new home.

? 2. Have multiple power outtages.

? 3. Experience thunderstorm.

?? 4. Get lost because your GPS has no clue where anything is, and you are about as geographically challenged as they come. (deserves a double check)

?5. Order “sweet tea”

?6. Visit Gone With the Wind Museum

?7. Have someone cuss you out on the phone because you “stole” their home phone number.

?8. Get stung by a vicious monster.

??9. Listen to your security system blare for an hour because you have no clue what the passcode is because the system technically isn’t being activated until next week. (double checks because it’s happened twice already).

?10. Can’t call home because you don’t know your home phone number and your iphone reset itself and you lost all your contacts and the home number was one of them. You are reapeatedly asked for your phone number and you have to say, I don’t know. You are then asked for your cell phone number and you have to look on the side where you have taped the number on to the phone with a post it note and a piece of tape.

?11. See the big KFC Chicken

I think I can honestly say that I am now offcially initiated and I’m a Georgian. (Is that how you say it? Hmm) Last week law enforcement showed up when the power went out after the storm when we couldnt get the security system turned off. The power has gone out two times in less than two weeks. My GPS is acting like I’m crazy when I type in addresses, I’m wondering where this attitude came from, she suddenly gets upset when she starts all this “recalculating” mess when giving me directions. I’m waiting for her to scream obscenities at me when I don’t go the way she tells me to go. Sweet tea is a must if you live in the south, I’ve drank my share already and its back to Coke Zero, Diet Pepsi and that yummy Chick Fil-A Diet Lemonade.

Comcast gave us someone elses phone number, no they had not cancelled it, they were still using it and they weren’t so happy when their friends started calling and I told them they had the wrong number. Yikes. So sorry about that, didn’t mean to take your number, you can thank Comcast for that.

Today we were at the pool, I was minding my own business sitting there with my feet in the water while the kids were swimming. I started feeling a really bad sting in my arm and looked down and this huge monster was stinging me (ok it was a wasp, but just let me be dramatic and picture the hugest wasp on the planet). I immediately start screaming like I’m at a New Kids on the Block concert and try and get the darn thing off of my arm. He (I’m calling the wasp a he, he looked mean) wouldnt let go and finally I was able to flick him in to the pool. This darn thing hurts, it made me sick then I had to take a nap for a while. My arm is still swollen and I can still feel the stinging, I guess because I can’t get the stinger out. Google repeatedly talks about venom and all sorts of bad things. Yikes!

(gee I’m rather rambly tonight for someone who was stung by a monster ;-) )

This afternoon on my way back from Marietta I stopped for a quick tour through the Gone With the Wind Museum. It’s not real big but they have a lot of neat memorabilia, posters, costumes, etc. So here are a few snaps from there. Oh but before that I passed by the big huge chicken that has googly eyes on top of a KFC restaurant. Apparently it’s a big deal around here as a few people have mentioned it to me, so now I can mark that off my list!

But first, here’s one quick one of my little client Mr. J, from his at home portion of his session…

They sky was completely white for a little while this morning, it was weird!

and here’s that chicken I was telling you about…

Lisa R - August 15, 2008 - 4:38 am

Oh, you will quickly learn that many things revolve around “The Big Chicken.”

Chick Fil A Diet Lemonade is delightful…yum. And it’s all Coke, Coke, Coke around here, you’ll find (oh, and Delta and Home Depot).

When we first moved here there were no GPS’ – imagine getting around without it. The joy is when you’re driving down one road, look up, and the name has changed – but you never made a turn. ;)

I’ll bet that number was a 770 one, eh? People like to keep their 770s.

Welcome to Atlanta!

Anna-Karin - August 15, 2008 - 4:50 am

Welcome to the south!
Sounds like you are getting the enjoyment of all parts of becoming a southerner again. Once settled you will love it.

Maria - August 15, 2008 - 8:39 am

Oh dear…I totally understand Angela. Having moved 4 times in the 3.5yrs we’ve been married, I am so simpathetic. Hang in there…soon you’ll be acting like a local, talking with a deep southern accent, and making your own sweet tea. ;-)

lroah - August 15, 2008 - 9:40 am

Angela, I am so disappointed that I discovered your blog just as you were moving, as I would have loved to have met you. I live in Los Angeles, and I used to live in Atlanta, so this made me laugh so hard! Your photography is amazing, but I love your blog especially because you always make me laugh!

heather - August 15, 2008 - 10:35 am

Wow, you made it! What a time huh? Well, you give all of us with huge mortgages in CA something to think about (moving)…so I can’t wait to hear how it goes for you. I hope that phone thing gets worked out soon. And about the GPS… have you told your GPS that you’re in Georgia now? I know when I was traveling to AZ, I had to plug in something saying I was in AZ and not in CA…that fixed a lot of probs. Good luck!!!

Kimberly Hill - August 15, 2008 - 10:38 am

You poor baby! (she says as she sucks down her Chick-fil-A lemonade) ;)

Season Moore - August 15, 2008 - 11:09 am

I still can’t believe you’re in Atl!!!! My Mom just told me this morning that they are putting the house on the market and moving as soon as it sells so it look like I won’t be spending much time in A-town any more :-/

corey civetta - August 15, 2008 - 11:43 am

Oh wow – so sorry you’ve had all that to deal with! How crazy about your phone number!! And yes, a lot of things revolve around the “big chicken” here. I was so disappointed when I saw it for the first time … maybe I didn’t expect the googly looking eyes. LOL

You are missing something on your list, though – “get together with Corey” needs to be added. (am I sounding like a stalker yet?) LOL

Kelly - August 15, 2008 - 12:27 pm

Hilarious…sounds like my life! I was in the Atlanta/Marietta area in July to shoot a wedding and saw the big chicken, too! Did you see the NASA spaceship McDonald’s playplace? And if it makes you feel any better, my GPS was very confused and rude to me when I was there, as well. I swore I heard her say, “dang, didn’t I tell you to turn around 10 minutes ago?!” :)

Brandy - August 15, 2008 - 1:29 pm

That chicken is fricken awesome. I need to come see it.

Julia - August 15, 2008 - 7:54 pm

Heh heh, welcome to the South! It took me 4 years of living here before I finally saw the Big Chicken so you are on your game. So sorry about that nasty wasp, and yes, everyone, it WAS the largest wasp in the world. I’m an animal-lover but was glad to see that meanie meet his grisly end being splashed by children in the pool. BTW, now that you’re here I think your GPS system should start talking in a Southern accent. “Turn rahhht at the Biiig Chiiiicken. Bless your heart, you missed your turn. Fixin’ to recalculate…..”

abbey - August 16, 2008 - 6:17 am

oh no!! welcome to georgia…
hopefully things will only get better from here on out!

Marmalade - August 16, 2008 - 8:06 am

somehow you still make it sound fun (i know it isn’t). gps troubles aside, well all troubles aside, i think you’ve had enough drama. time to settle in and rock atlanta as the hip atlanta children’s photog that you are! xoxo

Jennifer - August 16, 2008 - 8:51 pm

hahaha, yep you are offically back in the south girl, have fun!!

alpana - August 19, 2008 - 11:46 pm

what a wild start to life in a new city! All I remember of the city is all those Peach tree streets. Hope you settle in soon.
