Saylor & Family

I have been waiting to photograph this little lady for soooo long. Saylor is the baby of Christa and Matthew, whose wedding we photographed last year. I actually also photographed them while Christa was expecting so I just could not wait to finally get the honor to work with their little one.

They all live in Statesboro, in Southern Georgia and so do Matthew's parents who came along for the ride. I felt extremely honored that they all drove up to Atlanta a few weeks ago just for their family session.

Of course we did an extended session, with outfit changes, different location, grandparents and all.

It was very special for me to spend time with them. I feel very close to this family, they have all been wonderful to me and extremely supportive of our business. I feel they are not only lifelong clients but great friends too!

OK, enough of my ramblings.... here is the good stuff :)

Here is Saylor sporting her baptism outfit.


And how about this adorable image. She is always smiley. These are really lucky parents, trust me!




One hip family.


Still stylish even when she sports her birth suit!


Two cool chicks!


I love this family image. Yes, those are the paternal grandparents in the back... hard to believe!


Daddy-daughter time!






And of course... Matthew & Christa :)


Thanks so much for making the long drive to Atlanta. I definitely enjoyed seeing you and spending some time with Saylor. She is such a happy girl that it puts a smile on my lips to just think of her. And thanks to Dawn and Michael as well, who are true troopers! In case I have not said it enough, it was great to see you all again!

Family Time

These are Casey, Stephanie, Kylie and Mackenzie. Casey is an amateur photographer, and a serious one at that! So when he asked me to photograph his family I was very flattered and excited.

We decided to spend some time at Autrey Mill and allow the girls to have some fun while being photographed. It was actually a very cute session.

Kylie loved to be in front of the camera...


...while Mackenzie was more interested in seeing what interesting things she could stick in her mouth :)


...or running away from the rest of the family.


I love this playful family moment.


Did I mention she loves the camera? Of course her dad has her "trained"!


I love the outfits Stephanie picked for them.



Of course, Casey & Stephanie got their time alone also… almost like newlyweds.


Thanks Casey & Stephanie for allowing me to capture this time in your lives!

Julia Turns Four!

I love kid's birthdays. They are filled with excitement, fun and happy moments. I love to capture the expressions and different moments and all the bright colors.

This was Julia's fourth birthday. The theme was kitty-cat and mom organized a small get together with Julia's closest friends. They did crafts, played games, run around the yard chasing balloons and of course, ate cake!

The Birthday Girl!




Time for crafts...



And to pin the "collar" on kitty :)


This was so much fun! Every kid got a yarn of wool and they had to kitty-walk to the other side of the yard unrolling the yarn just like cats playing...


and getting all tangled up!


Trying to get the balloons to the other side of the fence was lots of fun!


And of course, cake was good!

Jack is One!

Jack is an Andrea Taylor Studio old timer... and he just turned one!

But I have been working with his family since before he was born. I photographed his parents wedding, and then him in the belly, and then again when he was born... It is one of the great pleasures of this job to see those little ones grow and become, like in this case, little boys :)

I was impressed at how much Jack enjoyed the session, always playing, having fun and smiling away. You go Jack!

Here are some of his images...




Thanks again Sean & Valerie for continuing to welcome me into your home and your lives and allowing me to document your family';s history in images.
