•••Miss E | Atlanta Newborn Photographer•••

Everyone, meet the adorable Miss E! Just before the Christmas break Miss E arrived. Mrs. D emailed me right away and once they came home and were settled I showed up on their doorstep with camera in hand. :) I hadn't had a newborn in a few weeks so I was excited. Miss E was about a week old and was a good little sleeper. We moved her a ton and changed her a lot and after a little bit of cuddling and a little milk she was right back to sleep. She was such an adorable tiny little thing...I could have stayed all night! :) Here is a sneak peek from her photo debut...



The D's decided to let their first child take some pics with them and then do a few sibling shots. :) I think pup loved baby E...so sweet...

Check back in a bit for Miss E's four month shoot! 

•••Normal? | Atlanta Newborn Photographer•••

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and had a fabulous time off with loved ones! Whew! Between the last minute holiday rush, preparing for our own Christmas celebration, and the many many MANY birthdays that we celebrate in Justen's family the week of Christmas, things are slowly getting back to normal around here. We still have Justen's birthday to celebrate on New Year's Eve, but the hecticness of this time of year has drastically decreased. I have tons of fun photos to share with you guys and lots of fun stuff to catch you guys up on, but just wanted to share one with you for now of sweet baby E. :)

•••Sunset | Atlanta Photographer•••

On wet, rainy, cold weeks like this one I love to look at this...

This is from our trip to Barbados in April, and it makes me feel so happy and warm when I look at it! Just thought I would share the warmth with you guys! :)

(P.S. - This was taken with my rockin' point and shoot. No photoshop either...Barbados is just that beautiful!)

•••The B Family | Atlanta, GA Family Photographer•••

I thought I would share more of the B family. You got to see a sneak peek of Baby H, but I loved the way this shoot turned out so much I thought I would share more from the entire session. :)

The B family is so stinkin' adorable. I met them at their beautiful home and they just seemed to have so much fun together. Baby H was such a happy baby and was so good at giving me smiles, but he also has modeling down to a fine tuned art, and knew when to give me his smoldering and serious look. :) Here is a peek at their session.

After we did some family shots, Mrs. B changed Baby H into some of the cutest holiday outfits for their Christmas cards. Loved it!

•••Little M's | Cumming, GA Children's Photographer•••

Last weekend I ventured up to Cumming, GA to meet the M family. These are all the little M's, aren't they cute? The M family has a gorgeous house so we decided to do their session there, plus it would be easy to pop inside if it was too cold for the little ones. We made it about ten minutes outside and then Baby M informed us it was time to go inside. :) Here is a sneak peek at our shoot for their Christmas cards...just some up close shots so you can see how adorable they were. :)

•••The D Family | Atlanta, GA Family Photographer•••

On Saturday afternoon, I met the D family for Miss I's three month shoot. Originally we had planned to do a fun outdoor shoot, but the weather in Atlanta quickly changed from a nice brisk Fall day to a chilly wet Fall day. We altered plans and decided to shoot at their house so we could take some warm breaks. I have to say I was secretly excited when I woke up to some snow on Saturday morning. I thought of all the cute pictures we could take in the snow, but the pretty white flakes only last about an hour. :( Sad. But we still had an amazing shoot. Mrs. D and I got all of our girliest things together to dress Miss I in and she looked so adorable. Here are a few of my early favorites...

Miss I giving the tiniest smile in one of my new HipChicks headbands. She did so well holding her head up!

I loved this moment...

And one of my new favorite family pictures! Loved this shot! :)

See you in three months Miss I!!

•••The R Family | Roswell, GA Family Photographer•••

Slowly, but surely I am catching up with my blog posts. :) Here is another one of my favorites...the R family. I hadn't seen them in about a year and I couldn't believe how much older the little R's look. Miss L wasn't only walking she was running around and beginning to say words! Mr. E was smiley as always and such a good little model. I met the R family on a rare warm and non-rainy weekend day a few weeks ago. We visited one my favorite places in Historic Roswell and had fun playing by the Chattahoochee River. Here are few photos from their session.

•••Giving Is Awesome | Atlanta Photographer•••

You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography -- $500 worth, to be exact. Whether it's canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over, it's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in Metro Atlanta. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story by December 31, 2009 (jen@atfirstsightphotography.com).

The winner will be announced on January 2, 2010-- get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season -- and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,
Jen

•••The M Family | Smyrna, GA Family Photographer•••

This is the M family. Some of my long time blog followers might recognize them, but notice a slight difference? The M family has a plus one. :) This is another one of my favorite families and just a few months ago Baby B joined their threesome. She is simply adorable and has the cutest squishiest cheeks I have ever seen. Here is a quick sneak peek from their session...



Love this photo of Miss G dancing with her daddy. Mr. M, I won't divulge any more. ;)

•••Santa Baby | Atlanta, GA Children's Photographer•••

Just one of this cute little Santa Baby! :)

•••Mini Session: The V Family | Woodstock, GA Family Photographer•••

Yea for the V family! The V family round out the last of my mini shoots. They are one of my favorite families and are always super fun. :) It was fun to see how much the boys had grown up in a year. Just a few...

This might be one of my new favorites...loving the big hugs and the sunshine in this one. :)

•••Mini Session: The P Family | Woodstock, GA Family Photographer•••

Still getting through Christmas Card week, but I thought I would do a quick post for you guys on this super cute family. This is the P family and they also participated in the holiday mini sessions a few weeks ago. Little Miss P was so energetic and picture perfect cute. She ran around and explored every part of the hall and its gardens, but I think her favorite part was laying in a big pile of leaves. Who doesn't love that? :) Here is a quick peek from our session...

Why I love shooting in the late afternoon...so pretty!



This was just the cutest thing! I wish Beau and Bella would let us do this! :)
