Atlanta Child Photographer | Happy Mother’s Day!!!

I took these photos back in February as a special Mother’s Day surprise for my sweet, sweet mom. These are all 4 of her grandchildren. The first shot is pretty much one of the only shots we have of the 4 of them together and she was absolutely overjoyed when we presented her with a 24×36 canvas of it.  There were tears, big ones. It made my day that I could do that for her.  She means so very much to me. I really have no words to express how much.  But a picture is worth 1000 words, right? So…Happy Mother’s Day mom. Enjoy my 4000 words!!!!

Atlanta Children’s Photographer | Happy (Belated) Easter!

Wow, could I BE anymore behind?!  2010 marked the first Easter I was able to spend with my family in 4 years! I was stoked!! I love our get togethers and it doesn’t hurt that I have so many adorable kiddos in my family!  Hope you guys enjoy the pics!!!

Atlanta Baby Photographer | Sweet Baby Lily.

I am really behind on my blogging so I will probably be posting like crazy in the next couple of days.  This is my  baby cousin, Lily. She is 3.5mths old and is the sweetest, happiest little thing. I just love her to bits and clearly my camera feels the same way!

Atlanta Child Photographer | California Vacation Part III (sisterly love)

As I am writing this post that includes the last photos from my California trip, I am SO excited to announce that I am headed back to CA for a whole month starting next week!!!! SO awesome! I had no idea I would be back for another visit so soon!!! So, you know what that means don’t you?  Lots more pics to come in the next few weeks I hope!

Atlanta Child Photographer | California Vacation Part II (a surprise visit)

I am thoroughly enjoying my visit here in California and trying to soak up every minute!! Earlier in the week one of my closest friends, Julia Franzosa, drove down to Fallbrook (where I have been staying with my friend Carrie) from Santa Barbara for a surprise visit!! Sneaky girl, I had NO idea she was coming! What an awesome treat that was. I have really missed her. We had such a great time hanging out, chatting, going to the movies…just like old times.  We even got to photograph Carrie’s 3 girlies together (as seen above). I had a blast and can’t wait to see her again.  Thanks so much for making the trip, friend!!!  Until next time…

Atlanta Child Photographer | California Vacation Part I (Lily Analicious)

I am back in California after 5 long months of being away. Granted, I am only here for a short 2 week stay but I will take what I can get :) Lily was so good to me the other day and let me take lots of pretty pictures of her. It only cost me one after dinner lollipop ;)  I have really missed my friends and this beautiful California weather.  Hopefully, I will be back here one day…for good!

Atlanta Baby Photographer | Trying to get back into the swing of things

Wow, it has been over 3 months since my last blog post. A lot has happened.  At the beginning of October I crushed the fingers on my right hand in an accident. One finger had a severe compound fracture and the bone was completely crushed on another. I also had horrible lacerations.  Three months, 8 pins, and 2 surgeries later here I am.  I still do not have full use of my hand but with the help of therapy 3 times a week it is slowly getting better. I have just recently been able to press the shutter on my camera so hopefully I will be taking more pictures really soon.  The accident, injury and long healing process forced me to move back home to Atlanta, GA.  So, that is my current base of operations. I hope to make it out to California again really soon. I miss it, dearly.  The next three sets of photos were the last photos I took before the accident.  I love them. I was so excited because I had just started to shoot for me again and have fun with it.  The last photo is one I took of my nephew last week. I admit, I am feeling pretty rusty.  Hopefully that will improve :)  Enjoy!

San Diego Child Photographer | Sleeping Beauty.

Taken during Lily’s afternoon nap.  I guess that is what she gets for napping so sweetly in a room with awesome light :)  blog16blog32blog23blog42

I just got back from a trip to Idaho to visit a very dear friend of mine and her family. I have known her two oldest girls (the blond and brunette together) since they were 2  and 3 years old. Now, here we are…almost 10 years later and she now has a ‘bonus’ daughter (the girl in the first photos) and a 20mth old. What a fun, gorgeous group they are huh? Unfortunately we didn’t get a photo of all 4 girls this time. Trying to schedule all of the girls to be in the same place at the same time proved to be pretty impossible. I guess I will just have to go back for another visit :)

Southern California Photographer | Graduation week with the family.

blog11blog22blog5blog41blog32

Ok, my blog posts are getting way out of order. Sorry about that folks.   I graduated from the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA on June 21. A lot of my family flew in from GA to celebrate with me ( my mom, sister, cousin and her family).  I had a great time showing them around town and sightseeing. We also went down to the San Diego zoo where my little  cousin Aidan got his face painted. :)  We spent part of the week in Oceanside and on my cousin’s last night in town we went for a boat ride and did some whale watching. Truth be told, we didn’t see any whales…but we did see a whole slew of dolphins!!!  I just wanted to let me family know how much it means to me that they all came out to share that special day with me. I have the best family ever!!!
