Lifestyle Newborn Photography | Atlanta

Newborn Photography | Atlanta | Welcome, Kate! Sweet little Kate was such a pleasure to photograph. Adorable and full of facial expressions, she had me giggling the whole session! Her awesome parents were excited to include their dogs and home in the session as well. Lifestyle photography focuses on connections, and is a peek into your life in this moment. I don't pose you, but guide you into a moment that makes a beautiful photograph. I think that when you look back at photo

atlanta doula + birth photographer

Welcome, Leo | Atlanta Doula and Birth Photographer Let me just say up front that I am still soooo excited about Atlanta Birth Center. The options for families to have a respectful, evidence based birth experience have grown so much since I first became a doula in 2009. For years I attended events and donated my time in hopes of making Atlanta Birth Center a reality, and this past July it actually happened! The birth of Leo is the second birth that I have been honored to atte

atlanta maternity photography

waiting for baby | atlanta maternity photography It is such an honor and compliment to be hired more than once by a family to document their journey. When I met this family they were waiting for their first baby, Cameron, over two years ago. We have had many fun photo sessions since then, including a newborn session, the 365 project and Cameron's first and second birthdays. And now it won't be long until we will welcome their second baby! Maternity sessions are best scheduled

adoption photography

Welcome, Quinn | Atlanta GA adoption photography I love documenting families. The word "family" means so many different things to different people, and I think the connections and the dynamics are fascinating. Choosing to be a family, and to add to your family, is a beautifully complicated decision. Choosing to add love and work. Giving a sibling or siblings to your children. I have always been interested in families. I was adopted into a family who later became a divorced an

Women's March 2017

Atlanta March for Social Justice and Women It was a rainy, muddy day in Atlanta. But over 60,000 people showed up downtown to speak up for human rights. I walked with my mom, a badass feminist wearing her ERA sash and walking with her girlfriend. I walked with friends, neighbors, strangers, other birth workers. And I walked with my two sons--who will be men before I know it. My boys were not thrilled about going to a march in the rain. But my heart fluttered a bit when my 11

decatur family photographer I can't believe how quickly this little guy is growing up. It seems like yesterday that we had his newborn photography session. And now he is on the go, and still such a cutie! I loved this three generation family photo session that we did a couple of weeks ago. It was a cold early winter day, but we made the best of it with fun hats and blankets...and lots of snuggles :-) I offer lifestyle family photo sessions in homes, as well as outdoor family

atlanta doula + birth photographer; welcome, Rosie! What a fun birthday. Baby Rosalie waited for the cold weather to arrive in Atlanta before making her entrance, and her parents did an amazing job at creating a loving and peaceful birthday for her. I was honored to be their birth doula and birth photographer, and I was blown away by their sweet sense of humor throughout the day. What a special time to be a part of! People often ask how I can be a birth doula and a birth phot

decatur family photographer; 365 project...ellis is 6 months! The second session of Ellis' 365 project was great!

atlanta senior photographer

atlanta senior photographer I love variety, which is why I was so excited to be asked to shoot a senior session. I think senior photo sessions are such a good idea--a celebration of a young adult's entrance into the world beyond high school. Pictures to cherish forever at such a transitional moment in life. Our senior session lasted about two hours, with one wardrobe and hair change. Evelyn's vision was of a retro senior photo shoot, and I think we nailed it! atlanta photogra

atlanta family photographer This was such a fun family photo session. I've known this family for a few years now, and it was fun to meet their newest sweet addition. We met at a beautiful local park, and took some portraits and then played on the playground. Of course those are my favorite shots--the ones of this family having fun and connecting naturally. This is the type of photography that speaks to me. It is lifestyle photography--somewhere between portraiture and photo-j

atlanta maternity photographer Waiting to meet your baby is such an exciting time, especially when it's your first baby. The daydreaming and planning, and the transition from adult to parent.

Pregnancy sessions are best scheduled for your 35th or 36th week of pregnancy, and can be in your home or on location. I offer pregnancy sessions as sort of a mini se

atlanta birth photographer; welcome turner! It is always such an honor to be invited to the birth of a baby. I was invited to baby Turner's birthday party a couple of weeks ago. The plan was to birth at the Atlanta Birth Center, and when those plans had to change it was as if no one missed a beat. I arrived at the hospital and the Midwife had set up twinkle lights and the essential oil diffuser. Mama was incredible, and with the sweet support of her husband and Doula, she bir

atlanta family photographer; Cameron is 2! It has been so much fun to watch little Cameron grow up. In fact, my first session with this family was as his parents prepared for his arrival two years ago. He is such a sweetheart, with a ton of energy! :-) Family and kids sessions are all about having fun. At no point did I tell Cameron to sit like this and say "cheese"...just typing those words stresses me out. Instead we explored. He ran, and jumped, and climbed, and ran some m
