The love of a Family is one of Life’s Greatest Blessings

-
We all know that Mom and her baby are the stars of the show when it comes to a maternity session, but there’s no denying the sweetness of having the entire family in the frame, too. I love capturing the raw, candid moments between parents and siblings, and pressing pause on a moment in time that would otherwise go by so quickly and without preservation!

Being able to photograph a mother’s journey through pregnancy is probably one of the greatest gifts I can give to others. Capturing that love for the little one as well as the rest of the family is my goal during every maternity session.
Carrying a little one in your belly for nine months is not an easy task. Doing it with 5 other kids can make it even more difficult. But the joy of having that little one in your life will surpass all the pain and hardship you may have dealt with during the pregnancy. Every baby is a blessing to the family it is born to and this one was no different.

My shoot with TY and the rest of her family – including Dad, and their 5 children, Izaih, Tatiana, Ariana, Aniya, and Roy Jr – offered lots of those moments. The session took place last weekend at Leone Price Park in Kennesaw and it was a non-stop shutter clicking extravaganza!

What a sweet couple and such a sweet moment. You can tell he absolutely adores his wife and is proud of her and all their kids.

Here are some of the highlights from the session:
I’m so excited for your growing family, you two. Thanks for letting me step into your world for a moment! I am looking forward to meeting Baby in a couple months and capturing more sweet moments with your family.

Some highlights from the mom to be:
What’s one piece of advice you would give to other expecting mothers for the session?
TY- Wear something you feel amazing in and Sariah will do the rest of the work. J Just follow her lead.
What’s one piece of advice you’d give to other parents having a session including their other children? TY-Make sure the little ones get a nap before the session.
What were your goals of the session? TY-I wanted to feel radiant and capture how beautiful I have felt through this pregnancy.

Welcome back, Everyone! I recently had a spectacular session with the Frank family. I've said it before and I'll say it again – I truly have the best clients ever! This family was no exception, either. They were fun, easy going and very photogenic. Although the kids didn’t want their photos taken, they eventually warmed up and we got some great candid photos. The weather was amazing but a little chilly. Apparently, mother nature finally got the memo that its fall here in Georgia. The skies were overcast which made for some amazing lighting. This was my first session really focusing on candid/lifestyle type shoots. Usually I do a mix of posed and unposed but this session was super fun, I would like to introduce the Frank Family: Jason (dad), Elana (Mom), Levi, Avidan, and Matan the kids. Jason is known as the silly dad and was joking around with the kids trying to get them to relax including piggy back rides and trying to push him in the pond. Elana is the strict mo

Power of incentives at your photo session

-
Is it okay to give your child and incentive during a session? Picture day can be a very, very stressful time if you have children. Finding the right outfit and a date that everyone is available on already causes you a headache. Once you have that down, though, everything is smooth sailing. You have prepared everything to be perfect, and then your worst nightmare happens – your child won’t cooperate. Even after you’ve coached him or her for the past two weeks and the entire car ride leading up to the session, your kiddo still just isn’t having it. You’ve tried all of the usual tricks and nothing is working. Sounds terrible, right? Well, I’m here today to save you from this nightmare, and help you prevent this from even happening. Behold the power of incentives. I know some people frown upon this, however, they probably haven’t tried to get a two, six, and 10-year-old to sit in one position together, look at the camera, and smile. It’s no easy task! As a photographer, I’m goi

 An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby’s birth. Then whispered as she closed the book, “too beautiful for earth”. – Unknown My goal of this documentary is to help spread awareness of the 1 in 4 women/families who suffer a infant loss. No matter what part of pregnancy whether early on, late term or at the very end of the pregnancy a loss is still a loss and it is in no way anyone's fault. This is a continuation of the first part (post link back to part 1) and includes the birth stories of the 7 women I worked with back in May as well as more about my story. MY STORY CONT: September 10, 2016 was supposed to be one of the greatest days of my life. I had dropped off my younger 2 girls at a friend’s house and headed out to my doctor’s appointment for my 20 week ultrasound. I had a gender reveal photoshoot planned that afternoon as this pregnancy would be the tiebreaker in our family. We were even at 2 boys and 2 girls and hadn’t even expected to get pregnant again. I had
