Sam, Sammy or Samuel | Atlanta Baby Photographer

I recently photographed sweet Atlanta baby Sam in his home.  His Mom said that they call him Sam, Sammy or Samuel, I think we should just call him cute, because he was so adorable.  He’s *this* close to walking and the day I was there we thought he was going to start running around within a few days.  His Mommy & Daddy were amazing and were so in love with their sweet baby boy and each other.  I even hung around while he was having his lunch and captured a few snaps while he was eating, he even made lunch time a fun event!

Love the pix! Would love to know where you got the colorful blanket in the second photo… if, in fact, it is a blanket.

marie - April 8, 2009 - 7:37 pm

oh my word. That first image….speechless.

Ruthi - April 8, 2009 - 8:22 pm

Kristie Chadwick - April 8, 2009 - 10:13 pm

The first one is just perfect. I love it.

sheila - April 8, 2009 - 10:54 pm

oh my word!! Love these!!

Kimberly Hill - April 9, 2009 - 6:33 am

I look at a lot of photography blogs and I’m pretty jaded. When that first image loaded I said “awww…” out loud. You are SOOO talented, Angela. The second image is absolutely adorable. Her soft creamy skin against that riot of texture and color is masterful. Something a true professional with an artist’s eye can pull off. Mom was brilliant to commission you to commemorate this fleeting moment in her daugher’s life.

allie - April 9, 2009 - 7:38 am

Angela… that first one is breathtaking. Both are beautiful but my goodness… something about it is so moving!

Jeanette - April 9, 2009 - 10:52 am

Amanda Zika - April 9, 2009 - 10:52 am

Danna - April 10, 2009 - 11:06 am

Carrie steffe - April 11, 2009 - 9:45 pm

oh wow… the sleepy ones melt my heart and I am loving her eye lashes in that first one! And wowza on that color in the second!

Dena Robles - April 13, 2009 - 7:51 am

Oh how unbelievably sweet. Every mom *needs* a photograph like the first one. Every baby needs one too.

Jackie Jean - April 14, 2009 - 9:25 am

adorable!

oneshotbeyond - April 14, 2009 - 11:08 am

Brad Walters - April 17, 2009 - 1:53 pm

The first shot is so precious. What a sleepy little one.

Expecting Axyl | Acworth Maternity Photographer

I have not blogged in a while and I’ll confess to being totally lazy and not feeling like I have anything to say!  Oh boy, that’s a first right?

A few weeks ago I photographed this *gorgeous* mommy to be.  She is probably one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, just so happy, positive and so excited about being a Mom for the first time.  She sent me a email today and her Dr. is thinking that this weekend her little guy will make his grand entrance in to the world.  They have chosen the name Axyl, isn’t that a cool name?  She told me they are really in to rock and roll and love to have fun and felt that this name was perfect for their son.  I can’t wait to hear that he is finally here and I’m so excited to meet him!

Here are a few photos to share and of course the newborn images will be coming soon!  We used the red background a lot because it’s her husband’s favorite color and I just love how beautiful it looks.

Kendell Silveira - January 18, 2009 - 9:30 am

Simply stunning- the black and white close up of her face is breath- taking!

She’s a beauty – what gorgeous maternity photos! Each one is stunning. She seems like a lot of fun and I adore the red background! Love the one where she is laying down.

allie - January 22, 2009 - 11:01 pm

Tara - February 6, 2009 - 7:25 am

Wow. What a beautiful woman and a beautiful set of images.

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…

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.
