•••Mr. K | Smyrna, GA Children's Photographer•••

 Christmas is just around the corner, and Mr. K is definitely ready to celebrate! :) With the holidays on the brain and the Winter weather making its snowy appearance Mr. K's family thought it would be a great time to do a holiday themed shoot. We did a few photos in front of their Christmas tree and then headed outdoors. K loved being outdoors, but after awhile we got a little chilly and headed back inside. He had a blast showing me his dancing Santa and the awesome fire truck one of his uncles purchased for him. I love that about K, he is always all smiles. :) Here is a sneak peek at K's holiday shoot...

•••The D Family Christmas | Woodstock, GA Family Photographer•••

Just a few from the D family's holiday mini session. Don't want to ruin any surprises for their Christmas cards, but I thought Miss L's Christmas outfit was the cutest thing ever so I had to share. :) So here is just a teeny tiny peek...

•••Miss E Turns 1! | Atlanta, GA Family Photographer•••

 Yay for birthdays! Miss E is turning one and it was time for her last session on the baby plan. She has gotten so big so fast and it was so much fun to see her walking around and smiling as she played with everything. The D family looked so cute and even Mr. C made an appearance. :) I am not sure who had more fun Miss E or Mr. C. The property we did the shoot at had a lake on it and at the very end Mr. C felt he had had enough of being pretty and posing for pictures. He leaped right in and decided to swim. It was so fun to watch and reminded me of my own dogs. :) Here is a sneak peek at the D family...

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

Last month, my BFF threw me an awesome baby shower. It was my first one and it was so much fun to celebrate with all of our close friends. Afterwards we decided to do some quick photos for our Christmas cards since we were already dressed up. CB's neighborhood is so pretty and the afternoon light there is perfect. Below are a few snapshots from their shoot, and then I handed my camera over to CB. I will share a few of those later for you guys (you can definitely see the baby bump in them). :)

Her girls are so sweet to one another. Little H definitely knows what buttons to push on big sister, but they love each other tons and tons. They hate when they are apart from one another and I think it is adorable! BTW Miss H was very excited about finding this "special hay" while on our shoot. She took it everywhere and made sure it was close by in all her photos. :) 

•••Posing In The Rain | Smyrna, GA Family Photographer•••

A few weekends ago, I had a quick mini session with the H and G families. Grandma and Grandpa H have two new little ones to spoil this year and wanted a session with all of their babies. :) Right when our session started it began to rain. I was a little nervous with a three week old being part of the mix, but everyone was fine and said "keep shooting". :) Rain wasn't our only obstacle though. The pretty Fall colors brought out tons of families and local photographers to this location. Throw in the rain, and limited space, it was a little chaotic to say the least. Our group was very courteous and stayed out of everyone's way, which can't be said for some (like, the girl who practically leaned on top of me to get her shot). I just had to laugh. All in all we got some super cute shots for the H family's Christmas card. Here is a quick look at their session...

 And just because we thought this moment was so funny...Baby L was very excited about his new little cousin. Watch out L...I have a feeling W is going to catch up to you quickly! :)

•••Holiday Cards and Deadline | Atlanta, GA Photographer•••

•••Welcome Home Miss A! | Kennesaw, GA Newborn Photographer•••

 This adorable little girl is Miss A. She is special in so many ways, and Mr. and Mrs. C are especially glad to have her home safe and sound. Some of you might recognize Mrs. C, who owns Murals by Mandy and I wrote about in this post . To say Mrs. C had a complicated pregnancy would be an understatement, and around 29 weeks Miss A decided that she had caused her parents enough drama already and decided to make her appearance. On the day that A arrived, we were all sending the C family lots and lots of prayers that both mommy and baby would be okay.  Born at just about 3 pounds and 15 inches long, this tiny little girl told the whole world she was here to stay. She had a long road ahead of her, but given the circumstances she was a happy and healthy baby. She needed a little time to grow and then she would be all set to go home. We were all so happy for the C family! After two plus months at Northside Hospital's NICU, the C family was able to finally take their little girl home!

We did a very fun shoot for Miss A's newborn session, and I was so excited to finally meet her. She looks just like her daddy to me with her mommy's beautiful auburn hair. At almost three months I was amazed at how tiny she still is, but at how much she has grown since birth! At the time of our shoot I think she was right around 8 pounds, and even has a little chubb to her cheeks. :) She was so cuddly and sweet the entire time. You can tell she is just as happy to be home as her parents are to have her there. Here is a sneak peek at our session together...

This was Mrs. C's coming home dress when she was a newborn. So special!

 A's original due date was October 31st, so we thought this was perfect. :)

 Mr. C I think this needs to be reversed. A will definitely have you wrapped around her little finger. :)

WELCOME HOME MISS A!!!!
