•••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! :)
