Baby Ian | Atlanta Baby Photographer

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!

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…

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

Oh how gorgeous are those blankets!

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

Your work is stunning!

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

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

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.

Baby Bryce | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

Remember a few weeks ago I posted a pregnant belly and told you all to guess if it was a boy or a girl?  Well baby boy Bryce came by the studio today for his newborn session.  I’m telling you, these Atlanta babies are being so good to me!  They are all so very very sleepy!  It’s so important for newborn photo sessions to take place within the first few weeks while the babies are still sleepy and bendy, and before newborn acne kicks in, so his Mommy and Daddy get a gold star for coming in asap after he was born!

Bryce was so cute, I think he was one of the most cooperative newborns I’ve met.  His big brother even flew in to town to be a part of our session, he looked so proud and happy to have a new little brother.  His Mom & Dad are so cute too, lots of smiley faces today from them.  They say pregnant women glow but his Mommy was just beaming, glowing, on cloud nine.  Bryce only fussed one time and his Dad talked to him softly and rocked him back to sleep.  I don’t know about you but seeing a Dad with his new baby is the coolest thing ever, it totally changes them.

Here are a few from our session this afternoon…

With his big brother

See what I mean about how sleepy he was, PERFECT!!!!

And with his beautiful Mama, she is so much fun, we just giggled the entire time.
