{oliver's in-home newborn session - atlanta newborn photographer}

Although I love to have babies in my studio, I will, on a rare occasion, do an in-home newborn session.

I prefer studio sessions because I can control the lighting. Being in studio allows me to switch up the lighting and offer multiple options. It’s also convenient to have all my props, wraps, headbands, and extensive wardrobe close by!

Not everyone is able to come into the studio so in order to meet client’s needs I try and work out whatever I can! In-home sessions can have advantages as well. Sometimes, clients are more relaxed in their own environment at home. These sessions are less structured and more documentary style, without as much posing, and limited props, but we can include things that may not be as easy to transport. Such as special rooms, or toys, and even pets!

I prefer the controlled environment my studio has to offer, but I also want to find ways to be flexible and work with all my client’s needs. Sometimes that includes coming to you!

Beautiful little Briella was such a perfect doll for this newborn session!!!

She kept her parents awake the whole night before hand, so I know they were exhausted, but sleepy babies are perfect for getting those darling shots! She was just an angel the whole time!

I am OBSESSED with the vintage lacy outfit and bonnet set she is wearing below! It’s so delicate and beautiful and looked perfect on this delicate beautiful baby!

She really looks just like a baby doll and I was simply delighted that I got to dress her up in so many different colors, textures, and try different styles. I still can’t believe sometimes that this is my JOB!!!! I’m so blessed! I can’t wait to get your Newborn session booked today!

One of the concerns mommas come to me with is “have I waited too long for my baby’s newborn session???” My answer is almost always NO!

This session is a prime example!! I believe sweet baby Isla was already around 4-6 weeks old when we had her newborn session and she did so well!! I work at baby’s pace and take their cues on sleeping and being comfortable, so almost every single time, I get them to fall asleep to get those sweet sleeping images.

This is not to say that I don’t suggest newborn sessions to be held around day 6 to 21 after being born however. And that is due to them being more sleepy in those early weeks, as well as documenting their tiny-ness because they get big so very quickly!!

So don’t hesitate to reach out for a newborn session all the way up to 6-8 weeks! Contact me HERE for more info and to set up your session today!

{daly family - marietta family photographer}

As a family photographer, I take location scouting as a big priority!! I love finding spots all over the Atlanta and surrounding areas so that we have a good variety no matter where you’ll be coming from! This location is East Cobb Park in Marietta and it is definitely one of my favorites! It ticks quite a few boxes: plenty of different spots in one area, lighting is great no matter what time of day, great parking, plus there is even a playground that we can bribe kids with for after our shoot!! I have been coming here for years now and I think it’ll be a great spot to use for a long time!

When you are looking for a family and children photographer, it really is so important to find someone who makes things as easy as possible for you so that you can just show up and enjoy yourself! And I love to take on many tasks for you especially location scouting! So if you are looking for a great spot for our session, this park is definitely one of my faves!

{jones family - carrollton family photography}

I absolutely adore working with this family!! I first photographed them as a young family of four and here we are years later and they just get more and more adorable!!

I always love shooting at this spot in Carrollton, Ga. It has so much variety and when your there at golden hour, it is PERFECTION!! This session was the perfect combo of the most beautiful family and an amazing location and I am living for it!!

{presenting winnie - bernedoodle puppy}

Guys!! Look what we got!!! Our very first family dog! I’m so happy to present Winnie, our bernedoodle puppy. She is absolutely wonderful:)

When I say I did research on dog breeds beforehand, I MEAN I did a ton of research on what the “best” breed for us and the best all-around breed (in my opinion). And I found that the bernedoodle breed is amazing!! They are hypoallergenic, they don’t shed, they were literally designed for families and specifically families with children, they are goofy, sweet, and loyal, and not to mention they are seriously adorable! Another big part of our decision is that the breeder is a friend of mine! So I know she came from a good family and was well taken care of before coming to us!

So far Winnie has been so great :) She is so very smart and has already learned to sit and come on command. She’s cuddley, playful, patient (esp with Lylah-Joye lol), happy, and a joy!

Little did she know that she was joining a photographer’s family and now she will have to endure many photo shoots!! This is her very first photo session with me and definitely the first on MANY! Because she’s too cute not to photograph in my studio!

Also, I promise she has eyes LOL, that black fit just covers them up!!!
