Carter turned one in December, and on a beautiful and mild winter day we went to the UGA campus for his one year session. He started off in some very snazzy formal attire, then had a few costume changes. (Check out his newborn and six month sessions too!)After hearing us call out his name over and over, trying to get him to look for some photos he gave us this pose, which says to me, "You want me to pose for you? Here, how's this? Got it? Ok, I'm on a mission here, leave me alone!"This was some experimental moss eating. Turns out it isn't as tasty as it looks. Such a handsome fella!
Fall Family Session in Athens, Georgia
These 4 kids were all so sweet, so well mannered, and so well behaved I wasn't quite sure what to do with them! Even the dog listened and looked at the camera! We had fun finding different spots for photos, with the red japanese maple being a favorite of course. Here are some of my favorites.
Ollie and Family in Downtown Athens, GA
Ollie and his parents are out of town "friends of friends" who had seen some of my photos through Facebook. I was so excited when they decided to have a portrait session done on their visit to Athens this summer! Here are some of my favorites of the day.
Two Year Old Eden's Portrait Session at The State Botanical Garden in Athens, GA
I had such a great time taking photos of two year old Eden at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia. Two is such a fun age. Eden was interested in exploring everything and each new experience put a smile on her face. Basically, her mom Casey and I followed her around the garden for an hour as she laughed and played! Here are some of my favorite photos from the session.Gotta love dipping your toes in a cold stream on a hot day!Eden and Casey having a picnic with Eden's favorite stuffed animals. Did I mention that Casey is an awesome massage therapist? I'm so excited to see her today to get a massage! You should visit her too, and tell her I sent you - she'll take great care of you for a very reasonable price. She owns Drift Massage Studio, and you can even schedule your appointments online! OK, unsolicited plug over, back to the photos...Tickle monster!!This was Eden's flute - or maybe clarinet - love that innocent imagination.A quick outfit change and we are off to find the next adventure!Running around with mom is always fun!So cute!At this point Eden was done playing, done with photos, and ready for a nap. But I couldn't resist a quick shot in front of these beautiful flowers. A lovely end to a lovely session.
Baby Elliot's 6 month portraits in Athens
Baby Elliot is already 6 months old. I know that time flies when you are a parent, which is why I love to be able to document so many stages in children's lives! So far I've photographed Anna's Maternity session, Elliot's newborn photos, and now his 6 month old photos below - I hope to see him again in another 6 months!Elliot is so adorable - and had such great eye contact with the camera! I love his thigh rolls too...I thought it would be fun to compare a few photos from 6 months ago, because I swear he had the exact same expressions!!Look at those eyes!Elliot is just learning to sit up on his own - and he's proud! Plus, it looks like he's waving at me...He's still very happy rolling around on the floor - and he loves his toes!Lookin' like a big boy in his overalls.And my favorite photo of all. So sweet.See you soon Elliot!
