True Love

I was just archiving this session from a few weeks ago. Before I tucked the images away into storage, I really want to share a few here on the blog. This family was so warm and friendly. Their baby boy was 6 weeks old when we met, so we got a great mixture of peaceful sleepy poses and bright alert expressions. Big Sister was equally adorable and so well behaved. I loved her curiosity about my photo gear, and the way she smiled with her whole face, eyes and all.

You’ll see I’ve modified the blog to allow for larger horizontal images. It has always bugged me that images in landscape orientation have shown up so much smaller due to the constraints of the blog format. PLEASE let me know if anything with the formatting shows up wacky on your end. I’ve checked it through several different browsers and screen resolutions on my side, but since I have a Mac, there could be some Windows users out there that get very different results than me. So please help me out and speak up if something goes haywire!

On another note, March is now fully booked. I only have one weekday session appointment still available for April. Weekend sessions are booked until the end of May, and June is already 50% full! Thank you as always for your enthusiasm for my photography. I can hardly put into words how blessed I feel to have a career as an artist, and to have the opportunity to spend time with such awesome clients and their children. I have been shooting sessions every day this week – it’s been busy! So I will have some more portraits to share here on the blog soon.

I’ve got a little Valentine’s surprise I’m working on. I hope to announce it later today, if I’m able to get some computer time this afternoon to make the final tweaks. Stay tuned!

Life is so sweet!

Every so often … well, very often … I have a session from which I cannot wait to race home and see the photographs. It’s such a thrill for me to see what I have captured on camera, and start playing with my favorite images. Today was one of those sessions. This completely adorable baby girl was full of smiles. And those eyes!! You know what a soft spot I have for big blue eyes!!

We had storms in Atlanta today. This was the first session for this family who has joined my Milestones Plan, to capture their daughter’s first year in portraits. When I arrived this morning, her mom and I worried about the dark skies and the low light for our session. But we made it work, and it worked beautifully. To capture this shot, I had Mom and Dad holding their daughter in their open front door. I was outside, in the rain, to get the right angle. Yes, I got drenched. But it was worth it. Anything for the shot!

To the D family, I hope you enjoy this sneak peek! And thank you for choosing me as your daughter’s photographer for the coming year. I had a wonderful time meeting you today and I am excited to be getting to know you this year.

PS – Look at those little baby teeth, Mom! We got a photograph of them after all!

PPS – I really can’t decide which finish I like better for this image, so I’ll share both. How about a vote? Which do you all prefer? Color or Black and White?
