This little man had a very soggy session at the gardens! At 8am, everything was still sopping wet in dew. Our shoes were sloshing and my pants cuff took hours to dry. Poor guy didn’t want to walk it in it, and I don’t blame him!!

Yet ANOTHER Tales From the Crib baby “graduates”
This sweet, cute, adorable child is going to be back REAL SOON! He will be doing our Book Club for his 2nd year and we are STOKED to be able to see him for another year. We love watching these little beings grow right before our very eyes! We’ve seen “T” since he was only a few days new! How can you not look at this child and SMILE! He’s so adorable!!!!
All I need is to have a good time!
Another baby graduates from the Tales From the Crib baby plan! I have loved watching him grow from that teeny little 4 monther to the wonderful big boy he is now!
Okay, where on earth did those curls come from?!? His 7 month session and his 4 month session didn’t have those and of course his newborn session didn’t either!! We met up this morning for his session at Ashford Manor in Watkinsville. Have you ever been there? I hadn’t, and holy cow, I wish I had earlier! I can tell you, I’ve already looked at booking that location for my own wedding (eventually) and I plan on calling them up and begging them to the able to shoot some princesses there. It’s just begging for some little girls. That john-john from Southern Belles and Beaus is cute though! OH, and how is he ONE already? ::sniff sniff::
We then went quick quick over to her parent’s house just down the road because I wanted to do some sudsy baby shots and her mother had a washtub we could use! Well, no one notified this poor guy that he’d been signed up for this, and he was NOT happy with it at all. He went from unsure to VERY MAD in about 2.5 seconds. Poor thing. Cuddles from daddy fixed everything though, and he was down for a nap before I even got out of the driveway.
That’s how I try to approach all my sessions with kids, from their perspective! Really, what kid wants to hang out with some grown up and be told what to do? Heck, I’m not a kid and there are even times *I* don’t want to do that
So, the best way to put them at ease is to just be their friend. You can play and have a good time with them while still capturing their wonderful expressions. Of course, you have to be willing to make yourself look a little silly to the other adults around, but secretly, I am always dying for an excuse to be silly!
These two brothers came by the studio with their mom and dad this morning to hang out and play. And that’s exactly what we did! Did you know that elephants and bears could fly? Did you also know that you can play a game that is a wonderful mix of “red light, green light” and “freeze tag” and get amazing smiles? I think the best game all day was making an elephant jump out of the soft box
I hope mom and dad had as much fun as I did hanging out this morning. For two hours I got to pretty much forget about my torn abdominal muscle and just be a kid again. Great way to start a Wednesday if you ask me. Well, that and a pain pill

You might remember this boy as my sock monkey kid last year. He’s back! He’s got a bit more hair and a little less chunk, but his face is still pretty similar to what it was then. I loved this whole session, but my throat hurt at the end of it because of him. Mom said “Oh, and he thinks it’s hilarious when you roar at him like a dinosaur.” So, I spent the whole session going “Hey, guess what? RAWR!!!!” at him.
This little guy’s mom wanted to do an urban session for his two year pictures, and they were all done outside of the studio. His outfits were perfect for this type of session, from the hat to the sunglasses to the tie! Total cuteness!
