Athens and Watkinsville's most awesome portrait experience for babies, kids and families
And we sang it over….and over….and over again
But it was worth it to get these gorgeous baby photos! My favorite part is that the dress in the first two photos was mama’s when she was a baby! We won’t talk about how long ago that was, now will we
As you scroll you’ll see her change from vintage baby to modern baby. It’s one of the many reasons I love shooting at the studio….so many looks all in one location
This is the second ‘Bama fan we had in the studio this week! Mom made the 4 hour drive over from Birmingham to have her sweet, perfect baby belly photographed! I can’t wait to see this little newborn girl in her pink Alabama outfit!!!
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be….So happy together!
We were greeted at the studio by twins this weekend! I can’t tell you how much I love working with siblings, and twins are even more fun! I love being able to see two babies, same birthday, same life style, be so different! Reminds me that no matter how similar people are, they are still their very own individuals! And these two are definitely that, individual but equally ADORABLE! Together…too much cuteness to handle!
Ok, this last one has me cracking UP! It’s like he KNOWS she is about to elbow him in the head LOL!
Really, one of the most flattering compliments someone can make to our work is to drive 5 hours just to see us! And that’s exactly what these folks did! Now, they drove more than that really, from Florida, to South Carolina, and then to us. But whatever
I have no doubt that this baby will come into this world well loved. We had a great time at the studio Saturday morning during this shoot! Not only did we photograph them, but we were even able to squeeze in a hair cut for Dad over at Honey’s Salon! He came wearing a hat….I just couldn’t have him shirtless, holding Mom’s beautiful belly….in a hat
But, it all turned out OK. Thanks so much to my girl Stephanie at Honey’s!!!
I can’t wait to meet “the baby!” Then it’s my turn to drive 5 hours for a little newborn fun!
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
This little sweetie came into the studio yesterday! I sure got my dose of new baby love because my arms are sore today from all the holding and bouncing! I’m in total love with big sisters eyes too, all green and blue, wow! Big brother was confused as to why he was there, but talking about how stinky new sister is made him smile a little.
That’s what’s coming for this sweet family, a new baby brother! They were in last Christmas for a session for their big little man last Novemeber. When mom came to pick up her order, she had found out they were expecting this baby! Exciting stuff I tell ya! Mom gets to remain the sole princess of the house! This time around mom and dad chose to do the Belly to Baby plan and the Tales From the Crib! Stay tuned for baby’s newborn session in a few weeks!!!
I swear four was the magic number here. Family of four, four minute apart contractions. Yea, all about 4. All throughout the session mom was hanging in there with some ferocious contractions! Having been on bed rest for FOREVER, this was her first day back on her feet! She had finally made it far enough that going into labor was no longer risky. And so, of course, having your photos done is the way to spend your day! I am not gonna lie….I was sitting there WAITING for her water to break. It would have been just our luck! The bummer for mom is……no water broke, and baby boy is STILL all comfy cozy on the inside! He’s just setting the stage for what he’ll be like as a toddler….everything on HIS terms
