Baby Mac...

A few days ago I posted a teaser from the session with Mac... it is time for a few more selected images before mom & dad get their private gallery online.

Mac very much deserves his own Blog post!

I photographed his mom & dad's wedding last year...


And then this year... here they are, with their hands full!


Mac is a cute smiley boy that has the biggest eyes!



It was really fun to work with the family again. Mom & dad are not only sweet loving people, but they have a great sense of humor, so there is never a dull moment.

You are welcome to leave comments below. And thanks for continuing to suppoort my work and my blog.

Family Time

Last week, my husband and I spent 5 days in Chapel Hill, NC., visiting his sister, Rachel and her family. We got to spend time with our adorable niece and nephew, Mia & Sam.

Mia is now 7 and she is a bookworm. She loves to read, even joined a little book club for the summer! She is funny, she reads while she eats her snacks, slumped on the couch, in the car and of course when she goes to bed. She also loves to play games, which was a lot of fun for aunt Andrea since I love games too! And she is also a great kitchen helper.

Sam, on the other hand, is all boy! He is non-stop, running around and playing energetic games all the time. Sam is 4 years old. He loves swords and dragons and dinosaurs. He plays with a little friend of his, Charlie, and together they are dynamite! It is actually very fun to watch... although Sam can also be super mellow and lies on the couch with you and gives you a huge hug, as he gets older he is becoming more of a guy's-guy and prefers to hang out with uncle Rich.

Here are some images from our visit.

Ughrrr!!!

Sam has been spending a lot of time practicing this. He can now do 3 consecutive pull-ups!

Yeepee!

This is at the Swim Meet, go Sam!


This sweet girl is Mia.

She loves to pose, can you tell?

And can be a goofball at times too :)

Although this is her most common type of moment these days...
They are cute together too!


Two that I love from the Swim Meet
Mia, gasping for air.

Sam having an unusual quiet moment waiting for his race to finish.

I hope you enjoyed these... it was nice to spend some time with them (and their parents, who are not too bad either ;)

Lucy & Lili

This past Friday I photographed Lucy & Lily at their home in Decatur. I met the girls when they were babies and have been working with them ever since. I absolutely love to work with them. They are the happiest little girls; they always greet me with a bright smiley face and ready to play. It was so fun to see them again and see how big they are. They are talking non-stop and are too funny when they go, go and go. Their mom, Amy, is on of the most loving, caring women I have met and I feel just so privileged to be welcomed into their lives over and over again to capture their family memories… And dad Andrew is not bad either ;) – Working with people like them is really what having chosen this profession is all about!

It used to be easy to tell the girls apart… when they were babies, Lily had a birth mark in the back of her neck, then she started wearing glasses… but this time around, the birth mark has been long gone, the glasses were broken, and they look more alike than ever!

Here is my try at who is who, but Amy or Andrew, please correct me if I got them mixed up ;)

This is how they welcomed me... Cinderella and Miss America Bellerina... I just melted!
This is Lily.
And her favorite toy...


And this is Lucy.
Can you tell this is HER favorite toy?
Double Trouble!
Don't you just love those curls?
I hope you enjoyed these images... and please remember to leave comments below!
Thanks.

A Chapel Hill Session

Me and my husband are in Chapel Hill, NC. visiting family. While in town, my sister-in-law's good friend, Laura, hired me to photograph her family. I went there the other morning and captured a few shots of the whole family and some of their two daughters, Ellie & Caroline. I had photographed Caroline last year when she as just a few weeks old, so it was nice to see how big she is now and also spend some time with Ellie. Ellie is a very good big sister and was very patient with little Caroline who is a little worm and does not stay still much :)
It was nice to play with them after some more formal portraits and get some images of them with their toys inside the house.
Here are a few images from the session


Family Portrait. Not an easy task to have Caroline siting and happy:)
I love this image and how Caroline looks at her big sister!
The girls playing the piano which used to be their grandfathers.
Play Time! Check out those little feet :)
Ellie loves Calvin & Hobbes!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Baby Mac (teaser)

Liz & Michael are the new proud parents of Baby Mac. I photographed Liz and Michael's wedding last year and now, here I was, meeting their wide-eyed, smiley little boy!

I will be posting some picks from the session in a few weeks, but I could not resist sharing these two images that depict the absolutely cool sense of humor that these clients have.


Check these out!

This is what I call a "party baby" :)

And how about the whole family and their Wubbanubs? I had a hard time keeping the camera still for this one!


More to come soon...

Jessica & Jimmy's Wedding

A few days ago I photographed Jessica & Jimmy's wedding with a great fellow photographer, Brenda Winn. It was an amazing wedding, and lots of fun too.

Here are a few images for you to see…

The guys got ready at a local hotel in Buckhead.





The Ceremony was at Christ the King.





We got access to the fabulous Swan House for some pre-reception pictures.






The reception was at the Atlanta History Center.




And this was their farewell...



I enjoy working with Brenda and appreciate being her "guest photographer" at some of her events :)

I hope you enjoyed looking through these. Thanks!

Noah is Almost Two!

This past weekend I photographed Noah and his family here in Atlanta. We started at home, with Noah's toys and familiar things, and then moved on to their neighborhood park.
What a happy little boy Noah is!

I'm gonna get ALL those leaves!


Story time...


Wee, we are at the park!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing Noah's images.
