We are beyond excited about Decatur Living’s latest “Spotlight on Avondale!”

First and foremost we LOVED working with our wonderful friends at Decatur Living to highlight the awesome community that we call home!  Second – we really love Adam’s cover shot!  Throughout the new issue you can see Adam’s work as he explored the quickly developing business district of Avondale Estates and celebrated this awesome city.  So much fun to have our latest assignment be in our own back yard!

A few pages in you can see what else we really love…. featuring some of our favorite Avondale Estate’s families in our “Fall in love with Avondale ad! (see below)  From the Lake at Avondale to the canopied streets of the historic district there are endless picturesque options in this fair city.

We will be announcing our Fall Mini Session Pop Up dates very soon and will of course be taking many of them using the gorgeous backdrop of Avondale’s fall colors!  You don’t have to wait for the pop up though… Fall gets busy quickly so reserve your family session soon!  You know the drill – fall portraits become this years most coveted holiday cards!

We hope you will take a peek at the latest issue of Decatur Living!  Enjoy Adam’s Avondale photo safari, learn a little about what this community has to offer and see why we love calling this adorable place home!

A huge thank you to Decatur Living for our favorite assignment so far!  The magazine looks great and we were thrilled to be a part of it!

and BABY makes 3… or 4, 5 or 6!

The anticipation of a new little one is an amazing milestone and one that is oh so delightful to document!  Whether baby makes 3 or the anticipation is multiplied by an older sibling(s) this is a magical time!  Schedule a separate session or include this in a year in the life package!  Here are a few of our MATERNITY images….

Helpful Hints…

Around 7 months is a great time to think about scheduling your maternity session.  At this point you are unmistakably showing, not quite to the uncomfortable stage and positively glowing!  Make sure you wear something that shows that beautiful bump and think about including your partner, hubby, parents or puppy too!

 

It’s a Portrait POP UP!!

Documenting Whitefield Academy’s “I Love to Read” parade!

We are thrilled to be working with Whitefield Academy this school year to document the experience of being one of their students!  We are so impressed with this incredible institution and thrilled to be spending so much time documenting Whitefield student life! Our goal is to capture the many elements that make up Whitefield from academics, sports and celebrations to students, staff and parents!  Here is a sneak peek at one of our first events at Whitefield!

Whitefield Academy’s lower school held it’s annual “I Love to Read Parade” Friday, October 18th the culmination ofI Love to Read Week.” Every day of this week is exciting as authors and writers visit to inspire young readers. Students from kindergarten – 4th grades chose a children’s book, read together as a class and then collaborated to create costumes and floats for the parade. Teachers, upper and middle school students, parents and volunteers joined in on the fun by lining the campus to cheer on the procession.

The tradition is more than a decade long, and is uniquely Whitefield, an opportunity to take teaching beyond the classroom walls.  Below are a few of the images, but if you’d like to see the slideshow, click here!

Atlanta Children’s Photography | A is for Adorable

Atlanta children’s photography is always an interesting challenge, and one that we love (having three little kiddos ourselves).  Figuring out the right time of day to catch your toddler in the best mood is often the first goal.  Figuring out a location that will make your child feel comfortable and expressive is usually the second challenge.  Well, sometimes the challenge is not a challenge at all. A is for Adorable and when this little bundle of energy exploded into our photography  studio we were in LOVE!  I also knew this was going to be a wonderful session.  She was so excited about having her pictures taken and greeted each of us with a smile and a hug!  We photographed “Miss Adorable’s” mom and dad several years ago when they were bride and groom, but today it was HER turn!!  We headed a few blocks over to downtown Decatur to take advantage of all the bright colors and beautiful light!  We started at the playground behind the Decatur Library and from the moment she stepped in front of Adam’s camera – it was magic!  It was the perfect backdrop for this children’s photography session and we had an absolute ball!  Thank you for brightening our day and for sharing that gorgeous and infectious grin!  We have enjoyed every second of working on these images because they make it perfectly impossible not to smile!!  Interested in having a similar experience with your child?
