The Kline Family 2015 | Atlanta Area Family Photographer

It's time for those family portrait sessions!  I had the privilege of spending time with this sweet family recently and documenting their here and now.  Our families go way back, but this is the first time I have gotten to photograph them, and it was a great experience for me (and I hope for them!).  The Kline's have an awesome story to tell, and I loved my time catching up with them.  I cannot wait to see their beautiful portraits on their wall and see them enjoy them in their album!!

Christmas Card Session | Atlanta Family Photographer

I love receiving Christmas cards!  I get to see friends I don't see in person.  I get to see babies that I love growing.  New marriages, new houses, new wrinkles, it's all so fun - well unless it's my wrinkles!!  Christmas Cards are a tradition that I look forward to each year, giving and receiving.

This year, I want to make it easy for my clients to get this holiday tradition checked off their list.  I am so excited about the options we have available for some variety and personal style.  We will be capturing these portraits on a farm with various Christmas backdrops and some neutral settings also.  This could be a time to showcase new Christmas jammies, church clothes, or matching sister sets.

Packages start at $149 and that includes 50 holiday cards!  We also have packages available that include more cards and even artwork for your wall.  Of course, you can add a print for Grandma from the a la cart menu if you want.  She would love one of the Grands sharing milk and cookies!

Sessions are limited and will be scheduled November 13-15 at the optimum times for lighting.  Call soon to reserve the time that suits you best.  I look forward to seeing you!

Shhh! I know a Secret! | Georgia Baby Photographer

One of the privileges I love about being a photographer is getting to be in on and keep some fun secrets!  I've even been on the other end of being the one with the secret.  Surprise proposals, baby announcements, births - they all make for fun events with that anticipation attached to it.  Just a couple weeks ago I had the honor of capturing an announcement for friends.  She has (finally!) made the announcement herself, so now it's my turn!

Congratulations Kevin and Whitney!!

This baby has been prayed for, longed for, and hoped for for a long time by it's Momma and Daddy and the people who love them.  It has been an honor to get to watch God work in the lives of these two, and we wait with excitement for the arrival of this little one!

4 Month Charlee | Atlanta Area Baby Photographer

Charlee is growing like a weed, and she has such beautiful eyelashes!!  I have the best job to get to look at sweet things like this for work!

Senior Session Time! Class of 2016! | Atlanta Area Senior Photographer

Calling the Class of 2016!  It is that time!  I will be booking Senior Sessions for the month of September before the holiday portrait season kicks up, so come on down!  October gets busy with family sessions getting ready for Christmas, so I want to make sure my Seniors get their sessions booked for their best time.  Now is a great time with the weather cooling off (a few degrees), and it is in time to make sure these last captures of Momma's "baby" can be used for graduation needs and gifts (Grandma's gonna want one too!).  I will be reserving Thursdays in September for Seniors, so call to book the one that works best for you.  If Thursdays are not a good day for you, I will book others upon request and as scheduling allows.

Senior Portraits are some of my most creative sessions, and they are fun and easy going.  To get the most out of your Senior session, bring 2 to 3 outfit changes (atleast), think about props to represent your hobbies or interests at this time of your life, explore locations that mean the most to you right now, consider how you would want to represent what is in your future, and let your personality shine!  First Moments' Senior Session includes Senior Rep cards, a product package credit, and an in person proof reveal to support you in choosing the best images and products for your needs.  I also have available some special Senior packages that offer the best products to document this important time (Have you ever had your own app?!) or you can create your own package suitable to your own needs.

Call today!

Miss Stella 8 Months | Georgia Family Photographer

Miss Stella was not exactly her smiley self for her 8 month portraits!  We got some great smiles and grins, but this shot is actually one of my favorites!!  A great portrait does not have to be perfectly posed or a perfect representation of a child.  Sometimes it's just the one that grabs you.  It shows their personality or opposite their personality.  It's the one you love, and you don't have to have a reason!  This would have to go on my wall!!  Thank you for sharing sweet Stella with me!

Baby Camden

I think I say it every time, but it is a very distinct privilege for me to be invited to photograph a birth, and it is one of my favorite projects to work on.  I was there to witness Camden's big sister enter this world about 3 years ago.  This sweet family has since moved south a little, but I was absolutely excited to get to continue our tradition with the birth of their first son.

The families that I spend this time with become dear to my heart.  I feel like they are "mine."  When they become repeat clients, it only solidifies that feeling.  It is interesting too, the level of comfort that comes with the 2nd birth.  There is more interaction, more laughter, more real, which a documenting photographer loves.  Whitney is one of those get-it-done-mommas.  Once things get moving, be ready, because she's not going to waste any time!  Birth is so different for every momma, and it's a blessing when they go smoothly.

Without anymore delay, it's my honor to introduce Baby Camden's birthday:
