Baby Winter - born in Georgia in July!

August 29, 2010

I introduced you to Winter just after he was born in this post. These photos were taken when he was about 9 days old, which is a great time for newborn photos. Within the first 2 weeks a baby is still sleeping a lot and is comfortable in those cute curled up positions. These photos were all taken on location in the comfort of the new family's home.Winter is a thinking man!Can't resist this little cutie!Here he's asleep in his daddy's arms.And looking into Mama's loving eyes.He's already a happy boy!!This is one photo/pose that clients often request. It calls for one strong arm and one very sleepy baby.The happy family.(You may recognize Mama Amy from the front page of my web site. Winter's older sister Lucinda was the model for that photo, just over a year before!)www.courtneygoldman.com

I have a new nephew!

July 13, 2010

Here are some more of the family photos I promised yesterday. A little explanation... My next door neighbors growing up were like a second family to me. We saw them every day, and shared all of our most important moments with them. So I refer to Dona and Bill as my other parents, and call Crawford my big brother. That being said, I have one beautiful niece - Crawford and Amy's daughter Lucinda. (There are tons of blog posts with photos of her.) I also have a nephew - my sister Heather and her husband Ryan's son Sylvan, the star of the last post. As of July 7th, 2010, I now have another nephew! Crawford and Amy's son Winter was born last week, and here are a few shots from the hospital. I'll be doing a more official session this weeks, so more to come for sure.Lucinda contemplates becoming a big sister.Lucinda has some fun with dad.The happy family!Winter - isn't he beautiful?A little grumpy...I call this one, "Put me back!"

Some Family Photos in Blue Ridge GA

July 12, 2010

My cousin Adam got married over Memorial Day weekend in Blue Ridge, GA. My whole family rented some cabins in Blue Ridge and stayed for the week. Of course, the main highlight of the trip was seeing my sister and her son, as they live in Oregon. Being on opposite sides of the country isn't conducive to many visits. He's also adorable, so most of the photos do star him! Here are some favorites.Sylvan got this rocket toy from his grandmother. He played with it, shooting off the rockets and running to pick them up for a long time, but I love this moment I captured where he's just staring off over the lake, probably mesmerized by a bird or something. So cute!My "other family" The Humphreys have a mountain house in Blue Ridge. We went for an evening to visit and Sylvan got to drive the tractor! He was really excited. He's concentrating very hard in the photo below because he's actually making the scooper part go up and down. (OK, I'm not a tractor expert.)Here he's watching his grandfather to learn the art of fishing. I love the glasses over the hat look!Then, he helped his mom (my sister Heather) reel one in!The proud fishermen.Here Sylvan is making cookies with his grandmother.And reading a book while the cookies bake. Such a sweet boy!We had another adventure while in the mountains - we went gem stoning. Sylvan found lots of treasures!And here he's showing me his favorite one.So I may be biased, but Sylvan is the cutest! More family photos to come soon, as I photographed my cousin's wedding. Sylvan was the ring bearer and was just adorable. Also, my "other family" The Humphreys welcomed a new baby boy into their family last week, so photos of them will follow as well.

Baby Alex

June 21, 2010

Modeling is hard work.www.CourtneyGoldman.com

Baby Isabella Rose

I'm getting so excited about this weekend's wedding with Victoria and John! It is going to be at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which is a favorite venue of mine. The weather is supposed to be perfect -- sunny with a high of 70! I realized that I hadn't blogged their engagement photos yet, and thought this would be a great time. These photos were also taken at The Garden, but instead of the spring blooms we'll be seeing this weekend, there were gorgeous fall leaves. Here are some of my favorites.
