three plus one equals four | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

3 years ago, I had the blessing to photograph this little girl just out of the tummy. Now she is going to be a big sister! We spent a beautiful night at Jimmy Carter Library Gardens in Atlanta, capturing moments before this family of three become four. (Click photos to enlarge.)

too many great photos... not enough time | decatur family photographer

I realized that I haven’t updated my blog for over a year now. Managing my family has overtaken my time, so any extra things I normally get to do for my business has been put on the backburner. I have been blessed to capture so many beautiful moments and I hope to slowly get to share them with you. Here are a few highlights of this past year.

I've had so many great sessions the last two years and I just haven't been able to blog and share them. As my children grow, so do their extracurricular activities. Soccer, dance, piano, school functions, and volunteering has taken most of my time.  I also teach fitness classes, so by the end of the day, I am zapped.  But, my focus this year is getting back on track with Cathy Clicks. I will be sharing some past sessions and new ones too.

This one was from 2016.  This family are dear friends of ours. I love how they loved the photos of them laughing!  I hope they make you laugh too!  Have a great weekend!

My kids and their cousins | Lake Hartwell South Carolina Family Photographer

It has been a very busy season of life.  My kids, now 11, 9, 7, and 5 keep me busy with all their activities.  Weekends are packed with soccer games for THREE boys! Weekdays are filled with driving them to soccer practice, dance lessons, piano.......   So this photography business has been on the back burner.  I still do sessions here and there and miss it so much!  I am excited about photographing Fall Portraits at a Pre-School with 200 students in November! Here are some family portraits from this past summer with their cousins!  I can't believe how big my little babies are getting.

I always look forward to photographing these beautiful ladies and Kathy's talented luxury knitted items.

Three's a charm | Atlanta Family Photographer

These boys.  I. can't. even..... put into words how I feel about this family.

I feel so blessed that I got to capture the sweet. pure. joy. (and craziness) of these boys.  They are so full of personality and so sweet to each other..... which is all because of their amazing parents!

Photography has been on the back burner the last couple of years, but sessions like this makes me appreciate and cherish the families I get to know, the talents God has given me, and the warm fuzzy feelings photography does to me.

It's that time again.....

Christmas is just around the corner!  Do you send out Christmas Cards?  I am running a Mini-Session special.  You'll receive a 30 minute session at the location of your choice (within 5 miles from Decatur, GA) and 5-7 high resolution finished images for you to print on your own for $250.

Check out this recent session of my friend from over 20 years ago.  He was my Sunday School teacher when I was in high school!  It was such a blessing to photograph his beautiful family!

Happy Birthday to my little bumblebee | Photos from Day 1 to Age 3

Three years ago God blessed us with a little boy and made our family complete. Buzz brings laughter, sweetness, and cuddles. He has taught his siblings to nurture and have gentleness. Time is sure buzzing by with this guy, and I am here enjoying the ride!

How did I do it?  When Buzz was born, I had four children, 6 and under!!

Highlight from Maine | Scarborough Maine Family Photographer

Its been two years since we moved from Maine and two years since I've seen this wonderful family.  We found each other when we were both pregnant.  This darling three year old was in her mama's tummy.  Since then I have been watching her grow through my lens.

I was so THRILLED when Jen asked me for a session during my vacation back to Maine.  Jen's showed her appreciation by giving me flowers from her garden (which she knows I LOVE) and her own home grown strawberries.  We spent the evening at Ferry Beach, capturing their sweet moments.  I'll travel back to Maine just so I can capture these beautiful smiles!

Last Christmas.....

I recently did a session where we searched for great wall pieces for their backdrops.  Then I realized, I never shared our Christmas images from last year.  Each year, my husband and I get excited about figuring out where to place our kids in front of.  It is amazing living around all the Living Walls art pieces.  Atlanta has changed so much since we moved away 12 years ago!  I think this year, we will have to find a wall with this guy's work on it!

Family-sized love | Decatur Georgia Family Photography

I have spent the last two days trying to put into words how I feel about these images and the people in them.... and I can't do it.  These two people are awesome, this baby is amazing, and the whole photo session was the bomb! The images speak for themselves! Hope they make you smile like they do for me!

It all started when my friend here in Decatur wanted to go on a trip to Paris with her girlfriends.  So she decided to sell her beautiful knitted creations to fund her trip.  With great success she had the most wonderful time in Paris! With her delicate and creative eye, she has now made a spring line to share with the world!  I had the honor to photograph her beautiful work.  Please visit her Etsy page, and buy one of her creations!

A Family of Smiles | Decatur Georgia Family Photographer

Through a friend, I met this wonderful family and so honored that they chose me to photograph their beautiful moments.  I feel like you would find pictures of this family in the frames at stores!  Look at these boys.... SO ADORABLE!  Not only are they photogenic, but this family is full of love and FUN!
