Baby Payne – Newborn Portraits – Atlanta, GA

Posted in newborns

Some of you may be familiar with Melissa :)
I’ve photographed her since she was pregnant with baby Payne & last week I got to photograph the birth!

She is the client that every photographer dreams of.

I mean really she is :)

Perfect personality.
Beautiful!
Talented and artistic (she btw is a top artist here in Atlanta)
She has a very easy going husband (which is such a plus!)
& She lets me do what I want.

I mean really, could I ask for more?

I have so enjoyed working with this couple and loved being there for Payne’s Birth. It is such a special time and to ever be asked to join in is a joy.

She gave me the sweetest card today too with a canvas painting she did… I just loved it.

Now onto showing off sweet baby Payne, who btw is a champ ;-) – we poked, moved, wiped and repositioned his little bod so much this afternoon, its without a doubt going to equal a good night sleep – I HOPE :-)

Enjoy!

To start a bit of a flash back ;-)

The painting behind Payne is one of Melissa’s :)

Coleen & Family

Posted in children, families

When I 1st moved to GA – one of the things I really wanted to do, was to network with other photographers. Back in NC this was huge for me. I was a brand new photographer back in 2007 – had just moved to a new town in NC… and knew nothing about the business. I was so blessed to get connected with a wonderful group of photographers in a neighboring town – and to this day I am still very close to a number of them. It opened my eyes to a lot about photography, but also the importance on becoming close with other photographers.

The sad thing is – so many photographers don’t do this… they simply view the “other photographer” – as competition and often times rarely blink an eye at them.

There will come a day when you are sick or have a family emergency and are left up a creek with a session in line or even a wedding. Having people you trust with their talent but also as individuals – is so important in this industry.

I am thankful for Coleen – and being able to become friends with her.

Shes an amazing talent and so so sweet too.

So to be able to shoot her family portraits was so fun – although even though Ive been doing this for years now – I still get so nervous photographing other photographers :-D – even if it doesnt seem that way.

Enjoy Coleen! Your family is so fun. I loved being your photographer for the evening :)
