The Bubenheims are some of my oldest clients. I've been working with them since their eldest, Charlie, was 3 months old in January of 2010! Kirby Ann joined the family in late 2012. They have grown up right before my eyes! Here are some of my favorite photos from their session this fall in Madison, Georgia. Enjoy!

You can see their engagement session, wedding, and reception on my blog.For their first anniversary, Holly and Todd had family portraits done in Atlanta with their dog George!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session.Contact me to get photos of your family - including your furry babies!PS - This is my 500th blog post!! Holy cow!
Newborn Baby Harper in Marietta, GA
Baby Harper's family is one of my favorite kind of clients - a referral. It means so much to me when a client gives my name to a friend of theirs to get photos that they will love and cherish just as much as my client has. Of course being an adorable baby helps too. I love all my newborn clients! Here are some of my favorite sessions from Harper's Newborn Atlanta Photography Session.

Melissa and Doug's 9th Anniversary Portrait Session at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, GA
Check out Melissa and Doug's adorably fun 9th anniversary portrait session at Piedmont Park. I knew Melissa and Doug would be a fun couple when they introduced themselves and said, but we're not that Melissa and Doug - referring to the toy manufacturer. Melissa and Doug met in Detroit, and moved to Atlanta so Doug could do his residency and Melissa taught 1st grade. Currently they live in Michigan, have been married for 9 years and have 4 kids! They were on vacation in Atlanta without the kids and decided to have a fun portrait session with just the two of them. They picked Piedmont Park because they lived down the street from the park when they lived in Atlanta. They created many memories at the park, including taking their dog Koda to the dog park and welcoming their first born and taking her for walks. They even took her photo at the park for their very first Christmas card!
Newborn Baby Elizabeth with her Big Sister Claire and their Parents in Decatur, Georgia
I was so thrilled to photograph newborn baby Elizabeth and her family. I'd met her parents and sister Claire many times as I walked around my neighborhood. I live just a few houses up, and Claire loves to wave at the dogs as we walk by! Here are the photos from our session.
Rachel & Alec's Wedding Reception at The Foundry at Puritan Mill in Atlanta Georgia
Rachel and Alec's Reception at The Foundry at Puritan Mill started with a stunningly decorated dinner and ended with an epic dance party! There were blood orange garnishes in the water and a gorgeous (and delicious) cheese board at each table as the guests were seated. There were all the standard traditions, the first dances were followed by the mother/son and father/daughter dances, there was cake cutting and there were wonderful and funny toasts given by the best man and maid and matron of honor. Then, there was another mixing of traditions. The dancing was kicked off with the Tarantella - a traditional Italian wedding dance - combined with the Hora - a traditional Jewish wedding dance. The rest of the night was filled with dancing to the band Ruperts Orchestra, as well as to "Shout," sung by Alec and his brother Trevor. It was a fabulous night in honor of a fabulous couple.Cake by Cakehouse on MainRuperts Orchestra
Rachel and Alec's Wedding Ceremony at The Foundry at Puritan Mill in Atlanta, GA
One of my favorite parts of a ceremony is the children involved. They are adorable whether they do everything right or do everything wrong! There were 8 children who walked down the aisle in this ceremony and they did an amazing job. Only a few tears were shed, and everyone made it to the front. I was quite impressed. And of course there was cuteness all around.Rachel and Alec's wedding was a lovely combination of a non-denominational ceremony with Jewish traditions. Both of Rachel's parents walked her down the aisle to the stunning floral chuppah. The parents of both the bride and groom stood with them as they exchanged rings. Rachel and Alec read the vows they'd written to one another, after which Alec stomped on and broke the glass. Obviously the ceremony was sealed with a kiss!
Rachel & Alec's Wedding Portraits at Loews, The Federal Reserve, and The Foundry at Puritan Mill in Atlanta, Georgia
I've known Alec's family all my life, and photographed his brother Trevor's wedding a few years ago. I've photographed their sister Gena's family, and Trevor and Ellen's daughter too. Alec and Rachel dated for nearly 10 years before getting married, so I feel like I've been waiting years to photograph their wedding! Well the day finally came, and I'm thrilled to share with you some of the photos. Rachel and Alec had their first look at the Loews Atlanta Hotel. Then we gathered up their wedding party and walked around the corner to The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. It was a gorgeous setting for their portraits! Finally, we took family photos under the Chuppah at The Foundry at Puritan Mill.
William and Thomas At The State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens
Thomas is 6 months old so we headed over to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia for some photos. Six months is such a fun age - Thomas was full of smiles. And William is such a proud big brother!

Anne McNeil and George's First Look and Portraits at their North Carolina Wedding at The Canoe Dock
Anne McNeil and George's wedding held at The Canoe Dock was exactly what they wanted - surrounded by nature, their family, and their closest friends. And of course their sweet dog too! After her bridesmaids helped get Anne McNeil into her dress, she and George had their first look. As you can see, George was overjoyed too see her. They are such a genuinely happy couple. I really enjoyed working with them! I've posted some photos of their portraits below.

Holly & Todd's Wedding Ceremony in The Day Chapel at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens
Holly and Todd were such a joy to work with! We started with a first look and the expression on Todd's face when he saw his bride was priceless. Holly and Todd had a small wedding party including three of Holly's closest friends and Todd's son and his daughter. They had a lovely ceremony in one of my favorite locations - The Day Chapel at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia. With the fall weather and gorgeous leaves as a backdrop, there wasn't much more one could ask for!
Holly and Todd's Engagement Session at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens
Last summer I met Holly and Todd at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens for their engagement session. We had such a fun time. I can't remember the last time I've laughed so much! It was obvious to me that not only do these two have a blast together, they truly love and respect one another as well. And I believe you'll see both in the photos.
Newborn Baby JP's Photo Session in Atlanta, GA
Kelsey & Preston's son JP is just precious! He was an early arrival, so I photographed his session after he came home from the NICU. He was three weeks old, but still let us curl him up and take adorable sleepy newborn photos. The book was a gift given to Kelsey and Preston at their baby shower, and what a sweet idea it is. The nursery has a world travel theme, so Kelsey's vintage suitcases were a perfect prop. Check out this adorable baby boy!
