The Importance of Choosing a Newborn Photographer That Fits Your Family There’s no shortage of talented newborn photographers in Atlanta. I’d argue there are so many of us that it can feel overwhelming for an expecting mom to decide who to hire. How do you choose a newborn photographer that’s right for you? Do you […]

Every year when the air shifts (just barely here in Georgia) and pumpkins start showing up on porches, photographers all around Atlanta prepare for the busiest season of the year. Fall family photos. Holiday minis. Christmas tree farms. Back-to-back sessions with quick turnarounds so families have cards in hand by early December. I’ve done it. […]

In a baby-led newborn session, your little one sets the tone — not a timer, checklist or rigid pose plan. I’m a lifestyle newborn photographer based in Lilburn, GA and my goal is simple: to create gentle, meaningful portraits that reflect your baby as they are, in this season—sleepy, squishy, alert, cuddly or even cluster-feeding […]

Welcoming baby girl home: the in-home newborn session that felt like a turning point. There’s something really special about being invited into both the before and the after. I met the Burtons when their little girl was still a hope, a name being whispered, a belly being cradled. Their maternity session felt light and full […]

I get asked this question all the time—do you ever offer mini sessions? Christmas pop-ups? Santa photos? And the answer is… not really. Every now and then—maybe once or twice a year—I’ll host a very limited offering, usually at a studio I know and love or outdoors at a quiet Christmas tree farm. But as […]

In the fall of 2024, I had the privilege of witnessing something truly beautiful—a mama and her two little ones at golden hour, nursing in a vintage clawfoot tub set in a field.

I cannot begin to thank Jessica for all the time and effort she put into this process. From coming to meet our nervous dog, Watson and figure out our style, to the numerous requests for assistance selecting all of our outfits. Numerous is an understatement. Furthermore, all the wonderful direction Jessica gave us since we were clearly clueless when it came to actually taking pictures and allowing us to include Watson was priceless. We cannot forget the time and effort Jessica put into scouting a location that would yield the best images and then having a backup when we didn’t think one would be needed!
I am beyond fortunate to have been given this opportunity for maternity photos when it wasn’t something I was even considering doing. I am so appreciative of Jessica making me look and feel comfortable during a time when that isn’t exactly what I was reflecting internally. She did this during my maternity session and newborn photos.
