November Holiday Mini Sessions, Part 1 – Atlanta | Atlanta Family Photographer

November has been busy busy busy! I’ve spent the majority of my time photographing some of my favorite families for holiday cards, and I always adore seeing them and their growing children (and puppies!) each year. I got to shoot at Candler Park, as well as two Smyrna/NW Atlanta favorites — Whittier Mill and Durham Park. Shooting in a variety of settings each weekend is always fun and helps me keep things interesting and unique for each family. I have a lot more to come, but here’s a peak at my first few sessions from November!

An Extended Family Fall Session – Vinings | Atlanta Family Photographer

I don’t photograph a lot of extended families, but I am always thrilled to have the opportunity to shoot this crew each fall. They’re great friends of ours, and I just can’t believe how big their kids have gotten. And how lucky are these grandparents to have so many fun, silly, adorable grandchildren? There is no shortage of love in this family, and I’m thankful to be a part of it, both as their photographer and friend. We have been doing these sessions for years now, so we always try to find a new location and change of scenery. The polo fields in the Vinings were the perfect spot for something a little different, and the kids got so crazy excited over feeding carrots to the lone horse there that day. I hope you enjoy some of my faves!

James’ Newborn Session – Chattanooga, TN | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

This little guy is the fifth male in his family to be given the name James… what a wonderful thing to be able to carry from generation to generation. I drove up to Chattanooga, TN to shoot this session for a sweet friend, and it was so worth the drive from Atlanta! I could not get over his head of dark brown hair, and he was so sleepy and snuggly.  He’s one lucky boy to have parents like his, and I am so happy for this little family of three. Welcome to the world, James!

Adelaide’s Newborn Session – Atlanta | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

Adelaide was born in October, and she was just the sweetest, calmest little gal during her newborn session. I loved her chic, bright nursery and all of the unique little details. (Nurseries are always one of my favorite parts about shooting newborn sessions!) Her parents are so head-over-heels in love with her, and I think we really captured that emotion and joy in these photos. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites…

Cora’s Newborn Session – Brookhaven | Atlanta Newborn Photographer

Welcome to the world, Miss Cora! Her parents decided to wait until she was born to find out if she was a girl or a boy… something I don’t know if I’d have the patience to do, but I can only imagine what an incredible surprise that would be. I loved shooting in her light-filled nursery and also incorporating her two fur siblings, Biscuit and Bourbon (awesome names, right??). Lorraine and Will, thank you for choosing me to document this most special time in your family’s life! It was truly my pleasure.
