Welcome to the World, Little Ones | Atlanta Newborn Twin Photography

Wednesday, February 2, 2011 2:15 pm Posted in Baby Photography, Child Photography, General, Newborn Photography, Sessions

We had dinner with some great friends this weekend, who happened to start out as clients several years ago. She has been one of my loyal blog followers for quite some time. She said to me, with a smile and a raised eyebrow, “You know, you really need to get back to blogging.” Yes, yes, I know. I’ve been enjoying the lull of January after the crazy busy season. In fact, I had planned to take a good part of January off. But then I got a call about two brand new baby boys who were ready for their first portrait session. Who can resist newborn twins? That was worth breaking my vacation early for!

These two handsome little men were perfect for their first photo shoot. They were awake a good bit of the time, but so calm and peaceful. They finally agreed to doze off together, and we all let out a collective “awww!” when they settled into their cuddled pose. Their big sister hovered close during our shoot, curious to watch, excited to have her portrait made, and ever so loving and nurturing toward her baby brothers. All three were simply precious.

Much love,
Shannon

Ella {Alpharetta Children’s Photography}

Miss Ella is two! Ella was a Milestones client in her first year, and her parents and I became good friends over the year’s sessions. I was so thrilled to see her again for her Two Year Portraits. It’s wonderful to remember that darling, blue-eyed three month old I first met, and to see the vibrant young lady she is now becoming. I can’t wait to see where life leads this little girl.

Ella is all toddler, on the go and independent. Sitting still was not on her agenda for the evening. No worries … my ultimate goal as an artist to capture the child as she is, even at high speed.

Ella, you have forever captured a very special place in my heart. You are beautiful, strong, and sweet. Kirsten and Scott, thank you for the chance to know your amazing daughter, and to call all of you my friends.

Much love,
Shannon

Holding Memories | Atlanta Portrait Artist

Sunday, January 31, 2010 7:28 pm Posted in General, Important News, Photography Products

Announcing a new product from Shannon Holden Photography! I fell in love with these when I saw them at the photography convention I recently attended. I ordered my first sample hours after I got home. And I love it even more now that I’m holding it in my hands!

Introducing our heirloom Memory Boxes. Custom matched to your baby’s nursery or your child’s room, each box is a work of art in itself. You choose the treasures to keep inside … baby’s hospital bracelet, a first lock of hair, and a copy of his birth announcement. Or maybe it can be a collection of snapshots from your son’s 5th year, along with the ornament he made in Kindergarten, and the note he wrote to you on Mother’s Day this year. Even high school seniors can store their memories and snapshots of senior year, their graduation announcement, and the tassle from their cap. I’m designing a box for each of my sons who were baptized this year, where they can keep their memories of their baptism day, the cards from dear friends, the photos of their baptism, and their personalized Bibles which were a gift from their aunt.

The outside measurement of the box is 9.5″ x 9.5″ x 3″ deep. The inside of the box is lined in black cloth. (Please pardon the blurred area on the sample box below. I try to keep my subjects’ last names off my blog for safety reasons.)

I just love these, and I hope you do, too! They are available now in our online store. You can find them in the Specialty Items section.

Much love,
Shannon

P.S. I’m anxious to design a few more of these, so how about an introductory offer? Everyone loves a sale, right? I am offering $50 off all boxes ordered in the next three days. Just email me or visit the online store! Sorry, this offer is only valid on current or previous sessions, not future ones. Expires February 3, 2010 at midnight EST.
