Daniel - 7 months

I got the chance to see my sweet friends for just a bit this weekend while running around ATL for about 30 hours... and to photograph little Daniel again! I just can't get over how cute this little guy is, I just want to pinch his cheeks the whole time. Yes, when I am old, I will be one of those Grandma's! Here are a few images of his adorable smiles...

Emma - 3 months!

Emma just turned 3 months old! She is such a beautiful little girl - and has the endurance of a tri-athlete with all we put her through! (so sorry Emma!) But I think the photos were worth it!

She looks so squeezable in these photos with her mom and dad!!

 

One of my favorites - note the drool - lol!!! (Emma may not think it's so cute when she's 16!)

Thank you for a wonderful session to meet and photograph little Emma! Enjoy!

Nathan - 6 days

Little Nathan came into the world just before Christmas - I'm finally getting a small blog up on his arrival! The poor thing was in the hospital the day prior to the session due to jaundice, but he's doing much better!
The proud parents are Ashley and Chris! They weren't planning on a family portrait, but I had to get one! Congratulations you two! I'm so happy for you and your family, it was an honor getting to meet little Nathan so early in his life. I look forward to watching him grow!

Kim & Shaun's Maternity

Kim is due in January with their 2nd baby (it's a surprise!). Her husband and 3-year old Luke already make such an amazing family, it's only going to get bigger and better!

She is gorgeous! I love her expression below...

We captured lots of sweet moments [with the belly]!

Luke - the big brother.

And a few more family shots...
Thank you Kim, for bringing the boys in for sharing this special time in your lives! I can't wait to document your little one next month!

Melisa's Maternity

Melisa & Riley are two of my coolest friends - I photographed their wedding in Atlanta a few years ago - has it been 4 or 5? Now they are expecting their first little one in just a few weeks! I'm so excited, I'll be Auntie Shae again! :)

Melisa is the cutest thing in the world. Moreso with a rubber duckie.

It was great to see you, I am looking forward to seeing all three of you really soon! God bless!

Preston - 3 weeks

Melissa & Terrence have a new addition to their home! I met Preston at only 3 weeks old! He is soooo sweet, but he did NOT feel like modeling the day I was there! Not until I was packing up ready to go, lol! We did manage to get some beautiful images...

Their first family photo :)

Thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph little Preston! What a blessing! I'm sure he smiled and slept the rest of the day after I left, haha! It was great to see you two as well.

Daniel - 9 weeks

Do you remember Sipola's maternity? Well her and Raymond's pride and joy is here - I finally got to meet him at 9 weeks this past Thursday in ATL. We got way more smiles than I thought! He is so cute and cuddley, the image above makes me laugh out loud!

Daniel looks just like his mom in this one!!!

So sweet - Sipola has the prettiest lips of anyone I know...

Congratulations, Raymond & Sipola! Hope to see him again soon - and have a little more 'hang out' time. I'm so happy for you and your little blessing!

I forgot to blog... Eli's 6 month session!

Not sure how this got lost in the travels because it's SO stinkin' cute, but here is Eli at 6 months - with his big brother and sister and a new baby shtizu puppy! I considered taking them all home with me...

This was Mom's idea - and how cute it turned out! Eli loved it!

Camden - 3 months!

I think this smile above is a sign of good things to come! What a cute 3-month old boy, Camden is - it's so amazing the personality they have that young! Notice in these photos at how he watches the camera - almost every shot was looking at the lens.

Camden's mom brought this cool piece of B/W fabric - it worked out great for the session!

Thank you, Camden and your mom for coming in to see me! I hope to do it again in 3 months! Many blessings :) shae

Sipola & Raymond's Maternity Session

I photographed Sipola and Raymond's wedding FIVE years ago in Atlanta (wow, it's gone so fast!!!) and they are now expecting their first miracle baby! What a blessing! I'm so excited for them! They are such a sweet couple - their little boy is due next month just before their anniversary.

Sipola is so beautiful, this is just a small sample of what we captured...

I received this African fabric from another Tanzanian bride a few years ago as a wedding favor - Sipola informed me the words on it referred to celebrating this event and blessing - how appropriate!

Raymond's Smile #5 - they are going to be awesome parents! I can't wait to meet him! Congratulations to you both!
