{williams family - carrollton family photographer}

Want to get in on a big secret?? Grandmothers LOVE getting photo sessions as gifts. Yup, to have their whole family together, documenting memories and capturing certain times in life are the best to them! When my good friend reached out to me to gift her mother in law a session for Christmas, I was so happy to oblige!! I absolutely love capturing the moments that I know will make hearts happy! Because little ones won’t be little forever, and teenagers won’t be home for long. I adored photographing this beautiful family and it made it that much sweeter that I got to do this for my friends!

I will always suggest photo sessions as gifts because who doesn’t want the gift of everlasting memories captured in a beautiful, professional, and timeless way! Contact me to get a gift certificate for those that are special in your life today!!

{harrison is going to kindergarten - carrollton family photographer}

The day is here. My sweet boy is going to “big kid” school and is not looking back! You know, he’s been in “school” since he was about one by going to a mommy’s morning out program a couple days a week, then went to (pre) pre-k then official pre-k last year, so this isn’t our first rodeo. But today felt different. Today felt like it was real. Like he’s officially a big kid and not my baby boy anymore. It’s a big milestone that he is all too excited to bring on and I’m so happy and grateful for his amazing attitude towards it.

This morning as I was walking him in, he didn’t want to hold my hand so he could hang on to his backpack straps like a big kid. (Although I made him lol) He was telling everyone good morning as we passed and even exclaimed to one teacher, “I’m the new kid here!”. He went straight down the hall saying, “this smells like my old school!”. Went straight into his classroom and was anxious to get our pictures over with so he could get to his desk/table and meet new friends. I am so thankful that he is such a social and outgoing kid! He has no problem meeting people and making them smile and I’m pretty sure it’s my favorite attribute of his :)

I finally let my tears fall as I got back in my car although they almost escaped as a teacher asked “you okay momma?” as I was leaving the building. It’s a new chapter and he is going to do SO well, I am 100% positive on it! And if you need me, this momma will be over here wiping my tears and counting down the hours to ask my baby boy how his first day of kindergarten was!

{jordan, exarhos, baywal families - new georgia family photographer}

This is one of my favorite families ever! If you’ve followed me a while, you’ll probably notice Whitney and her gorgeous family! She has been with me for years and I am beyond grateful for her loyalty and for allowing me to photograph her sweet little ones from the very beginning stages! Watching handsome JJ grow and come into his own has been a privilege thus far!! So when she asked for me to do a full family session with her family from out of town my astounding answer was YES!

I heard the tragic news of their dad passing at Whitney’s maternity session and my heart dropped. I never got the pleasure of meeting him, but you can tell a lot of a person from what legacy they left, and I have only heard the MOST amazing attributes and what an amazing man he truly was. I will always regret not being able to give these sweet family portraits with that amazing man, but I know that even I felt his presence there with us while I was photographing this beautiful family. My heart and condolences go out to them with the biggest feeling imaginable and I only hope I did Dad proud by photographing his amazing family and beautiful grandkids!

{asher one year - baby photographer in carrollton}

Y’all. I just can’t with this sweet baby boy, his adorable sister, and their gorgeous parents!!! Also, it truly feels like just yesterday I was taking his newborn photos :( The saying “babies don’t keep” could not be more true!!

He had such a good time with his smash cake and I wish people could’ve seen the way he would get close to it with his face, then not follow through with the bite LOL, he was the cutest!!!

I absolutely love this sweet family and I can’t wait to watch them grow through the years!

To get in for your one year olds session, please contact me! These sessions are some of my favorites. I get a wide variety of images of babies alone in different setups and outfits and can even include siblings and family. And let’s not forget the best part of them eating and smashing their birthday cake! It’s the best part! Turning one year old is definitely something to celebrate!!

{presenting payton - carrollton newborn photography}

Oh my goodness, look at sweet Payton’s newborn session!! Aren’t sleeping babies the absolute BEST!! They might be one of my favorite things in the whole world. Well, little miss Payton did not disappoint. She absolutely rocked her newborn photography session at my studio in Villa Rica. I always love getting lots of images of babies with different colored backdrops, using different props, and of course all of the gorgeous headbands from my favorite vendors.

When mom said that her nursery colors had blues and pinks, I just knew I had to put her in that beautiful blue color!! And how perfect is her matching headband? When you reach out to inquire about your newborn photoshoot, I love to get any information on the baby’s nursery, the colors in your home, or your style! It is so helpful when it’s time for your ordering appointment so that we can coordinate the prints that you will hang!

Please reach out and we can get the perfect colors for your session that will be flawlessly displayed in your home!

{kerri's family maternity session in west georgia}

I truly feel like I have the best job in the world and as a maternity photographer in the West Georgia area, I adore capturing growing families! You may recognize Kerri from a maternity milkbath session that I did with her about a month ago that was SO beautiful. This time around, she brought in her boys and they rocked it! Big brother Asher is going to love his new sister to pieces, I can already tell :)

Now we just have to wait for her arrival and I honestly can’t wait to do her newborn photoshoot. Personally, I hope she has Asher’s dark hair and loooong eyelashes! I have a feeling she is goig to be absolutely beautiful either way :)

I’d LOVE to capture your family in that special time in your life that only comes for a short while! Contact me here!

{wilder's nine month milestone session)

Adorable Wilder is on my baby plan and is already nine months old and I cant believe it!! One of my absolute favorite things about being a baby photographer is watching sweet babies grow and change!

I absolutely love keeping these milestone photography sessions simple and sweet and focus mainly on your baby. They grow and change SO much in such a short time and I adore capturing every single detail that is new to your little one as they grow!

I always have my clients rave about how many clothing options I have for their whole family in my studio wardrobe! Just about all of the outfits on this blog are available to borrow! Make sure to ask about clothing and styling options for your next session here!
