At Home Newborn Photographer | Athens, GA

What a joy to be an at home newborn photographer where I get to document families in those first moments with their infant. This little baby is two months old and her sister is just over a year. I photographed big sister for her own newborn photo session, so it was extra special to come back as their family grew to a family of four.

Tricks/Games that work every time with toddlers

To get this sweet image, I had to use one of my trusty tricks that always works with toddlers. You cannot even spot what we did to get this result, which is the goal as well. Don’t worry if you have a little one who doesn’t always want to sit still for portraits with their new sibling. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve to get sweet images like this. After I leave, I bet you will even use some of the same tricks and games to get results like this on your own.

What to wear for newborn portraits

Love how mom dressed her girls for their at home newborn photography session. Baby sister is wearing the same swaddle that big sister wore just over a year ago. They used the same bassinet too. Big sister is wearing the sweetest pastel pink Feltman Brothers heirloom dress that has been passed down in the family. Traditional attire like this is always a win and good idea as your portraits will never look dated. They will truly stand the test of time.

When to book at home newborn photo session

If you are expecting and would like a session in the comfort of your home, contact me, the at home newborn photographer today. Would love to discuss all the options and details with you and to add you to the calendar. Newborn sessions are best booked in third or fourth trimester, before your newborn is born. This ensures that there is a spot available for you. I photograph babies of all ages, so if your baby has already arrived, no worries. I can still photograph your little one just as he/she is.

Christmas Family Portraits At Tree Farm In Bishop, GA

Christmas family portraits at a tree farm is always a classic choice! How fitting is this family’s wardrobe too? The tartan wool skirt, quilted vest, knitted baby sweater and bloomers, and the traditional Southern red Christmas dress is just pure perfection. Mom’s outfit really reminds me of one of Kate Middleton’s Christmas party outfits she wore back in 2018. Great example of what to wear for your Christmas family portraits. These outfits will never go out of style.

I love holding Christmas family portraits at a tree farm. Such a subtle way of announcing Christmas without it being too in your face. Great to keep focus on the subjects versus a bunch of props. We did utilize my vintage snow sleigh for the sibling image to help stabilize the kiddos in a safe and fitting way.

One thing to think about when holding your session at a tree farm are the hours and days. You do not want to schedule your Christmas family portraits at this type of location when the farm is super busy over the weekend when everyone is searching for their perfect tree. Another considerate thing to do is to purchase either a tree, wreath, garland or some other item to support the farm even more. Yes, tree farms do require a fee to photograph on their property, but it is always a nice things to make a purchase too. Great for the business, but also gives you something to take home and relish in the Holiday festivities even more!

UGA Senior Photographer | Fort Yargo State Park

Love it when I am chosen as a graduate’s UGA Senior Photographer. This young lady was my daughter’s gymnastics coach, which made it that much more of man honor.

Senior portraits in a location that speaks to your soul and who you are makes the finished artwork that much more meaningful. This young lady loves the outdoors and being on the water. Moving to Utah for physical therapy school will bring her new adventure and scenery. Fort Yargo State Park made for the perfect location to remind her of her time here in Georgia.

The Fall colors were so pretty the day of her session and I love how the landscape reflects into the water. The natural boulders and tall pine trees speak to Georgia’s natural beauty. Great keepsake of this young lady’s time in the State during her favorite season of the year.

True to her personal style, which is always a good thing! Great example of what to wear for your senior portraits in the Autumn. Wonderful gifts for her family this Christmas too.
