•••The L Family | Decatur Family Photographer•••

A few weekends ago, Justen and I headed to our good friends, the L family, house. We decided to take some pictures and catch up over lunch. We hadn't seen them in a few months and I was shocked by how big the boys had gotten in just a short time. Mr. F is starting to look more like a little boy than toddler and Mr. J is quickly transitioning out of the baby stage. We had such a fun time hanging out and catching up with them and can't wait to do it again (and much sooner!). Here are a few of my favorite moments from the day...

We did some fun photos of eight month old J. Such a cutie!

Mr. F loves playing with all things boy. So of course we made pillow forts and played with his train set. To say he loves trains in an understatement. :)

Then we transitioned outside to the boys tree house. Mr. L made this tree house (with the help of F, of course) and it is awesome! F & J gave me the grand tour. 

So smiley. Love this one of J and his beautiful mommy. 

•••Time For A Contest! | Atlanta Photographer•••

This past weekend I realized it had been a looooooooooooong time since I had done a give-a-way for all of my faithful blog readers. So I sat down with Justen to brainstorm all of the fun possibilities, and I think we came up with a great idea! Because I am a photographer, and this is a photo blog we thought it would be fun to do a photo contest. :) So here is how it works...

•••The T Family | Dunwoody, GA Family Photographer•••

Another large family!! This session with the T family had been a long one in the making. During the summer Mrs. T had contacted me about her and her husband's 50th wedding anniversary. She and her husband were having a large party in the Fall, and wanted to get a photo of the entire family to celebrate the occasion since everyone was going to be in the same place at the same time. Unfortunately, at the last minute a few family members weren't able to attend so we posted the shoot until Thanksgiving when we knew everyone would definitely be together. As Thanksgiving approached Mrs. T called me with the bad news...another family member was unable to make it at the last minute. We determined that Christmas week was our best chance...everyone just had to be around for Christmas! Christmas came and everything worked out perfectly. I know Mrs. T was so relieved and so excited to finally get her shoot. Such a special way to celebrate 50 years together! Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

•••The H Family | Woodstock, GA Family Photographer•••

The week of Christmas I met the H family for a very special photo shoot. Mrs. H and her brother decided to give their mom a photo shoot for her Christmas gift. She was surprised on Christmas Eve Eve morning with a picture frame telling her that she had her very own personal photo shoot that afternoon. When I met the H family at our planned location everyone seemed super excited. Grandma H had tons of  great ideas and was ready to go! The H family was super large, and with nine children you never know how things were going to go, but everyone young and younger were on their best behavior. :) I had such a fun time hanging out with everyone and the entire family was full of personality. We hung out at a great local park/downtown area and then let all the little ones have fun on a super awesome playground. The afternoon was a blast! Here is just a sneak peek at some of our fun together...

•••Mr. E's Six Months | Douglasville Children's Photographer•••

Yea! Mr. E turned six months! Last weekend I headed to the C family's house for Mr. E's six month photo shoot. I had been on lockdown for the better part of three days due to the ice and snow still in our neighborhood so I was super excited to have a reason to get out of the house and see one of my favorite family's. Mr. E was adorable in his little blue jean overalls, and the C family were even brave enough to take a few shots outside in the super cold weather. I was nervous we would upset Mr. E going outside, but he seemed to love it. He kept giggling and smiling! Soon I realized though he is one of the happiest six month olds I have seen! He giggled and smiled the entire time. In the rare moments he wasn't laughing, it was because in true six month old fashion he had his cute little hands and feet in his mouth. Here is Mr. E's sneak peek...

When he would sit up I noticed he kept curling his toes. So cute!







Mr. E says bye and he will see you guys again in three months! :)
