Newborn Baby Thomas in Athens, GA

I met newborn Baby Thomas when he was one week new! He's a sweet addition to one of my favorite families. I thought it would be fun to see what his big brother William looked like at the same age. I thought it was so funny to find such this mirror image photo! How adorable.Above is baby Thomas, and below is his big brother William, back when he was also at just one week old. The photo is even on the same blanket I think!I've been photographing William and Thomas' family for 3 years now. The newborn photo above was in December of 2012. This adorable photo below is William at 6 months old.The photo above here is William at 18 months, and in the one below he's 2 years old.The photo above is technically the first photo of Thomas, before he was ready to make his world debut. And William is almost 2 and a half years old. And now, as seen below, they are a family of 4. And William is pretty proud of being a great big brother.Congratulations Megan and Brad.

Baby Sadie's Newborn Session in Atlanta, Georgia

I know I've said it before, but one of the most fun things about being a photographer is watching families grow. Caroline and Stephen were married in September of 2011, and on April 23, 2015 their family grew by one beautiful baby girl - Sadie. I was thrilled when they asked me to take newborn portraits of their baby girl - and of course some photos of the family.  Sadie was a total sweetheart. She snoozed most of the session, so we got those sweet sleepy newborn photos I love. Caroline had this absolutely adorable owl hat - how cute! Congratulations Caroline and Stephen!

(Plus, I photographed David's sister's wedding in 2012, and will be taking photos of her newborn baby next week!)

Kent's 6 month session in Atlanta, GA

Julianna & Lila's Newborn Session at Piedmont Hospital

Julianna & Lila were born on April 2nd, and because they are twins that were born a bit early, they are not quite ready to come home yet. I just couldn't wait, so I scrubbed into the NICU with their parents and took photos of them holding their baby girls at Piedmont Hospital. Julianna is the "little piggy" who weighed in at just over 5 lbs at birth. Apparently someone told her she was going to have her photo taken, as she pulled her feeding tube out just before I arrived! We decided that she just wanted to look her best for her first photo session. Her sister Lila is the super fighter who weighed almost 4 lbs. It was Dad's first time getting to hold Lila, and it melted my heart to see his expression as they placed her "kangaroo care" style - skin to skin - onto his chest. They are both doing great and I am so excited to take more photos of them once they are at home! Here are a few from the hospital.

I hope you enjoy!Photos taken at The University of Georgia, the UGA Chapel, the UGA Arch, North Campus, Herty Field, the Chapel Bell, Sanford Stadium, and the Boyd Graduate Studies Research Center. Then downtown at Highwire Lounge.

Wendy and Charlie's Engagement Session at The Intramural Fields at UGA in Athens, GA

 I met Wendy at The Athens Wedding Professionals Bridal Show in January, and I'm so glad I did! She's an adorable, energetic and fun woman who is marrying Charlie (also adorable, energetic and fun!) this summer. We met behind the Intramural Fields at UGA to take their engagement photos while walking along some of the trails. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the session.And of course we had to include their sweet dog Roo!I can't wait to photograph their wedding this summer!
