Atlanta Child Photographer | 8 Years Old

admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 17:41:14 +0000

I have been photographing this gorgeous guy every year since he was 4 years old. It is such an amazing compliment when a client comes back year after year. It makes me feel like I am doing something right.

I can’t wait to photograph age 9.

The Happy Traveler | Almost 10

These beautiful girlies belong to my good friend, Carrie Sandoval. Twins, almost 10 years old – They could not be more different but could also not be more lovely in their own unique ways.

Atlanta Children’s Photographer | Keegan Oliver

This is my gorgeous nephew, Keegan, who is now a whole 8 weeks old!!! He is so scrumptious I can barely stand it. Look at that smile! I am pretty sure there is nothing sweeter than when a new baby starts to actually smile and respond to you. It is so pure and honest.

I am so looking forward to watching this guy grow and taking SO many more photos along the way.

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

The Happy Traveler | The Jackson 3

My friend, Carrie, with her girls.

These three adorable kiddos are the nieces and nephew of my good friend, Carrie Sandoval (who can be seen in the last photo on this post with her three girlies). I took these photos the day before I left California to head back home to Atlanta. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much out of two almost 4 year olds and an almost 2 year old but they totally surprised me! They are such fun, amazing kids and gave me the perfect going away present.

Thanks guys!

The Happy Traveler | The “Z” kids – Part Deux

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:28:55 +0000

Last week I posted the first part of my visit with my friend, Leah Zawadzki, and her family. As promised, here is part two! We all went for a little walk that afternoon with photos and a little lizard hunting in mind. I just love California. The light and landscape are so beautiful and most of my favorite photos are taken there. It takes all the strength I can muster up some days not to pack up and move back right now. Maybe one day…

Thanks for the visit “Z” family. I’m looking forward to the next one.

See Leah’s shots from this day here and some here.

The Happy Traveler | Birthday Duo

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:29:12 +0000

These photographs were taken during a lovely visit with my good friend, Leah Zawadzki, and her fun little family a few weeks back. Shown here are her twins who just happen to turn 7 years old today!! What a perfect day to blog their photos, right!? I had such a great time with these guys. They definitely made me work hard for these images though and I mean that literally. I jumped on the trampoline with them for a good few hours in exchange. Talk about a workout! So totally worth the tired, noodley legs though. I feel so blessed to have so many friends in amazing places all over the world who invite me into their homes and allow me to take photos of their gorgeous kids.

Happy 7th Birthday, K+J! I hope the day is everything you could wish for and more. xo

Stay tuned for part two of my weekend with the Z family. I am back in Atlanta now and have a good number of sessions on the calendar in the coming months so I am hoping to get caught up on the blog before then!!

Atlanta Child Photographer | Peach Blossoms

admin — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:00:43 +0000

This peach orchard is right down the street from my mom’s house. Every year I want to take photos there and every year I am out of the state when the trees are in bloom. This year I was determined not to miss it so once I saw the blooms were out I called up my cousin and she headed over with her 3 little girls.I know these aren’t perfect but I am so glad I was able to get something before they were gone. Maybe next year I will be in town longer than a day during peach blossom season :-)

The Happy Traveler | A day in the city of Melbourne

admin — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:59:16 +0000

I promise that one day I will get caught up on my Australia/New Zealand blog posts! The images below were taken on a day of adventure out in the city of Melbourne with my dear friend, Rachel Devine and her beautiful family. I absolutely adore this city. So many interesting things to see and do and very easy to get around. I wish I lived somewhere like that. We took the train from their little suburb into the CBD and then walked to a cafe where I had the yummiest hot chocolate (and most creatively decorated I might add). The kids all had a treat very popular amongst Aussie kids known as a “babyccino”(a cup of steamed milk, foam and sprinkle of cinnamon). I swear I do not know why we have not picked up on this in the states. Although – now that I just typed that – I googled babyccino and found that it is becoming all the rage with NYC kids and families so I guess it is only a matter of time before it shows up all over.

After we finished our little treats we stepped outside and into the coolest alley way where Rachel I and both just had to take some photos! We even managed to get a super fun family shot that was later used for their holiday card!

We really did have a great day with lots of fond memories to look back on. Love you guys. Thanks for sharing your city with me

Stay tuned for another blog post full of images of our special day in the city with just Rachel’s oldest daughter, Gemma. xo

Atlanta Baby Photographer | Three Weeks

admin — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 14:08:59 +0000

My sweet little nephew, Keegan, turned a whole 3 weeks old yesterday. I can’t believe it has already been 3 weeks. When I went to visit the other day and saw he was wearing this precious outfit that I brought him from New Zealand I just had to snap some photos of him. At the rate he is growing, he won’t be wearing it much longer. I guess I need to make another trip to buy more. I leave on Thursday for CA and will be gone for three weeks. So sad that this guy will be practically grown by the time I get back. Slow down, buddy!!!!

Enjoy!!

The Happy Traveler | One last photo shoot before takeoff

admin — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 17:04:56 +0000

On the last day of my visit with Deb Schwedhelm in Tampa we stopped for one last photo shoot on the way to the airport to catch my flight back to Atlanta. I was able to capture some really beautiful moments in that short little time. I seriously have no words for how much I adore this family’s love for one another so I’ll just let the photographs do all of the talking.

Deb, you are a wonderful mom and you have some pretty amazing little mini-humans to show for it. xoxo
