I fell in love a couple of years ago…with this family!  Have I mentioned I have the GREATEST job in the world?  I’ve know this little one since she came into the world.  She is absolutely adorable and SMART as a whip!  It’s so fun to watch her.  And, one of the things I love MOST about doing her portraits is watching the absolute adoration that her parents have for her.  During our shoot, we had “tea” together…in a most unusual way.  Gecko tea anyone?  Tell her I thought it was DELICIOUS (and a little squirmy to boot).

I’ve known this little boy before he was EVEN a sparkle in his daddy’s eyes!  His mom and I worked hard together on something called WIT (Women in Technology).  We ran an AWESOME auction…ok, I digress.  I’ve attached an old picture I did of him in 2007 so you can see JUST how much he has grown.  What makes him a miracle you ask?  This little one was born WAY before he was supposed to.  I don’t remember the exact number, but I’m thinking it was around 27 weeks gestation?  He spent many months in the hospital and has had multiple surgeries.  His parents are amazing.  So loving, always his advocate and voice.  He is such an angel and I feel SOOOOO priviledged to be able to capture his growth year after year.  Thank you!!!

This mommy is one of my BEST friends and we got to celebrate the birth of her sweet little one while I was back in Georgia this week.  I only had a short time to take some portraits of little “SK”, and she decided to not sleep for us.  But, that’s ok.  Go with the flow.

What I love most about the portrait of mom and baby is that it is REAL!  If you know this wonderful friend of mine, you would think she’s from a storybook.  She’s a stay at home mom with now 3 kids.  The older two are in 4th grade and Kindergarten.  She homeschools them booth, works as a nurse for an awesome Christian organization in downtown Atlanta once a week, and has a newborn to boot!  She always looks fabulous…and in this portrait she doesn’t have a lick of make-up on.  She will probably kill me for putting this portriat up here, LOL!  But, I love it, she just radiates the love she feels for this little one!  The beauty of this portrait brings tears to my eyes, and I hope you all enjoy it just as much as I do.

When the parents of this little girl told me she was perfect…they were SPOT on!  She slept like an angel the WHOLE shoot.  That happens so rarely (along with me NOT getting pooped on…which is a total miracle in of itself) that I just had to tell EVERYONE!  It was also very hard for me to choose just three “sneak peeks”, as the whole shoot was fantastic. 

Gotta tell you the story behind the pink blanket she is wrapped in.  It was her mom’s blanket as a little girl, and you could tell it had been well “loved” over the years.  How neat to have something like this to pass down to your child.  I think we managed to make the blanket look pretty good.  Then again, I think this little one would have looked adorable in a wet paper bag!

It really was such a pleasure working with them.  I can’t wait to see how she matures (and grows lovely inside and out) over the years.  Congratulations, she’s a COMPLETE blessing!
