Picture of the Day: Atlanta Adventure Kids Portrait

 

I have been photographing Carter since he was just a puddle in his mom’s arms at 6 months old.  Watching him grow, getting to know his parents and documenting his childhood has been such a honor.  (If you’ve been to the studio, you’ll recognize him from the Fine Art Canvas Cluster of him hanging on the wall.)  At 4 1/2, he loves trains.  When his parents suggested going to the Southeastern Railway Museum for his session, I was so excited.  It’s so inspiring to go to a location that is special to my clients and totally new to me.  All the old train cars, engines and train tracks were not only fun to explore but were also so textured (and you know how I love contrasting textures!)  Rusted out trains, overgrown grass, even tacky upholstery on the train seats provided such interesting backdrops to this fun and adventurous kids portrait session.

Once again, I couldn’t choose just one image for the Picture of the Day, so I chose three that are expressive of Carter’s personality and his relationship with his parents.

I’ve recently been photographing a lot of adventure portraits – at the Atlanta Zoo, fire stations in Virginia-Highland and Marietta, at an ice cream shop in Atlanta, an ice skating rink – but they’ve all been portraits for boys.  I need some girl time!  I need some dress-up time, ballet class, arts & crafts, tea party or anything else your little girl loves.  Contact us today for information about our adventure sessions.

Studio News: Published!

 

A few weeks ago, I told you about my shoot for Outreach NC of author Mary Kay Andrews.  The issue was published and my image took the front cover.  Such an honor!

Mary Kay Andrews’s Avondale Estates home is so beautiful!  And it was a pleasure to photograph her and her home for the magazine and her fans.  MKA even mentioned our shoot on her Facebook page and on Pinterest.  …I’m blushing.

Picture of the Day: Atlanta Kids Portrait

 

Since I can’t share all of the session pictures in a “Picture of the Day,” sometimes I miss the opportunity to share some great images on the blog.  This image was one of them.  I’m editing through pictures for this client’s order and can’t resist sharing this one.  Dylan is a chocoholic, just like me, and as a treat at the end of her family’s session, her big brother, Spencer, gave her a giant Hershey bar.  She was so happy after eating some of it she ran barefoot in the grass laughing with unrestrained joy.  Then she rolled onto the ground and I grabbed this shot.  Pure JOY.

Picture of the Day: Dunwoody Family Photography

 

Spencer, Dylan their parents and grandmother were so much fun on Sunday.  We explored the lake and woods of the MJCCA (the Jewish Community Center in Dunwoody) and found some really picturesque spots.  In all the years I have been going to the MJCCA, I had no idea the lake and woods were even back there!  What a great surprise and a wonderful oasis.  I had a really hard time choosing just one picture for the blog so I didn’t.  I chose 4!  Enjoy!

This image is so expressive of Spencer and Dylan’s personalities.  Spencer is a calm, reserved and introspective older brother who watches out for his little sister, while Dylan is an energetic, smiley and funny little girl.  Love that I was able to capture this about them at such a picturesque spot.
