Holiday Mini-Sessions

…are done!  Well, I’m still editing but the session is over and we had an absolute blast.  I totally got a workout in during our mini-sessions running around and pulling my wagon up hill but we have some amazing pictures of all the kiddos and families and had fun doing so.  It was awesome to see so many familiar faces and make new friends but the best part is we worked together to give a nice donation to Our House. Hope you enjoy!

Initial 10×20 Storyboards

Ooohhhh….an exciting new product. This is a series of three 10×20 storyboards mounted and printed with a linen texture. Works perfect for any child’s room. I can make them with a variety of background textures and colors. You can frame them or show them as is. Ask me for more details!

Caleb and Collier

It was a perfect Fall afternoon …just enough chill in the air to make you want a hot apple cider but not freeze and the leaves are just starting to burst with yellow, red and orange.  We had so much fun playing around at the park.  And Caleb loved being a helper and pulling the red wagon around.  That and tackling Collier.  But we were able to get some really sweet pictures of the boys.  I can’t believe how much they have grown in just a few short months.

Is there anything cuter than a chunky baby???

Claire

Claire officially has the longest eyelashes of anyone I’ve met.  Is it wrong to have eyelash envy from a toddler?  And she is just beautiful too.  Good thing she is a super fast runner because the boys are going to be chasing her.  I think Claire took a good nap after I left …at least I hope so.  We had a marathon morning of jumping on the bed, hunting for leaves and running up and down the sidewalk.  She is just like my son and moving all the time.  Love it!

Connor and Beckett

Wow…so much has changed since I first started photographing, well, Connor.  Beckett was just a twinkle in the eye and now he is here and full of smiles.  We had a wild afternoon at Connor and Beckett’s house just following them around and shooting.  And Connor calls me Mr. Danielle …it kinda has a ring to it?

This picture made me laugh out loud.  Love it!

Storyboards

Sooo…. I added storyboards to my catalog. They are basically a collage of pictures printed on one sheet of photo paper. They are really stunning and make a big statement to any room.  We have several of our boys and I love them. I can do these in a wide variety of styles and amount of pictures.  I pulled together some samples for your viewing pleasure. These can be printed unmounted or mounted on a variety of substrates. Ask me for more info!

Gavin and Audrey

I met Gavin and Audrey’s parents out in Smyrna on what was the chilliest day of the year to date.  We took some family pictures outside and then ran for warmer grounds at their house to finish our session.  Both Gavin and Audrey have the most perfect complexion for black and white pictures …creamy skin with long, dark black eye lashes.  My fav for black and white pictures as they just seem to pop….you be the judge.

It always makes me giggle that babies are so much chunkier than their older siblings.

The good, the bad and the ugly

If you’re in Atlanta you know the city needed boats to get around last month.  The rain was crazy.  And it destroyed so many homes, schools and businesses and created a nightmare for many families.   You saw the pictures.  You know how horrible it was.  But people still need help.  So I encourage you to give.   It is the “expensive” season with the holidays but maybe your gift to others can be made in honor or memory of a loved one.  It does so much good.  We purchased a brick from Hosea Feed The Hungry as a gift to one another.  www.hoseafeedthehungry.com  But there are many opportunities to give and help.

And I can’t post without a picture…. here is Ridge at the pumpkin patch.  He loves pumpkins so much he couldn’t sit still for 1 second.

Mia

I love walking away from a session knowing you have so many beautiful images that you can’t wait to edit them. This was Mia’s newborn session. She won all kinds of newborn awards …easy to pose, stayed asleep and waited to go to the bathroom after we were done. You can’t ask for anything more. And when this shot is the first one you take ….you know you are going to have fun.

Mia’s parents waited a long time for her and they are just so in love. You can see the love in this image.

Cawley

Cawley’s Mom contacted me right before I went on maternity leave.  I gave her a list of other photographers to chose from since I would be out for a while and she wanted to wait for me.  Wow …that made my day.  And I’m so glad she waited.  We had such an amazing afternoon in the park.  Cawley is a little cutie.  He was all smiles and giggles.  And I LOVE how this first family pictured turned out.  Might be one of my all time favorite family pictures.

Cawley is getting ready for Halloween.  I’m a sucker for cool hats. I’m going to have to get one for Ridge and Colton.
