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
And that’s just what we’ve gotten to do with this little beauty! Amazingly, she hasn’t changed much at all in her first year! As a Tales From the Crib baby planner we’ve seen her through each of her milestones during her first year! What a joy it has been! Her eyes have remained a stunning blue, and her grin is a little more toothy nowHappy birthday baby G!!!
We’re captive on a carousel of time……
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!!!!
You’d think that of all the times I’ve been to this girl’s house for photos, she’s remember me and I wouldn’t get the “Oh, you’re scary!” face for 20 minutes when I walk in.. but no. She flirts and smiles like a champ when mommy is holding her but if I look like I’m coming too close that smile vanishes! She’s now a Tales From the Crib graduate! Thank goodness we already have two more sessions on the calender or I’d be going through withdrawals. I need my dose of cute curly-headed baby! You can see her sitting up session, her heads up session and her newborn session!
These two girls (you may recognize them from last year when they both came in with their sister, Ava Jane) make me laugh so hard. So, we went out to the Botanical Garden on Sunday the 1st, but it was grey and dreary, then rained on us, and then my camera ran out of batteries right on the last shot I needed, so they came back out yesterday to finish up. It was grey and nasty the whole day except for that one little 45 minute section of sun we got last night when we were out there. We finished up the night at Marble Slab getting birthday cake ice cream ON my birthday. In fact, I think I may have turned 31 years old while we were sitting there. What a fantastic night!
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!
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
I LOVE these kids. Seriously, I know I say it every time, but I just want to hug them and smooch them all day long. They’re so sweet and so fun to be around.
