Fashionistas everywhere know all about the allure and rich history of the Hermes Birkin bag, and it’s extra special in their signature orange leather. And my friend “A” is a fashionista, so I envisioned her baby’s 9-month shoot paired up with his mom’s gams, some fabulous Louboutin’s and her very own Birkin….the results are one of my favorite shoots ever. But I went one step further, and placed baby “D” in the Birkin – he fit perfectly! And did I mention he’s got the cutest baby blues too?
Back during my public relations career, I had the pleasure of working with the Hermes store in Dallas. I still love to pass on the tip that my boss Julia taught me from one of the Hermes family: the company’s name is pronounced like an “air mess”! Sometime let me demonstrate one of my specialities: all the ways you can tie an Hermes scarf!

I love this quote, and it seems appropriate as I feature precious shots of the newest addition – the fourth! – to a wonderful family.
This chunk-a-hunk of love has been so fun to capture over the past year at his milestones, and his personality shines in these portraits! Cheers!

When the pink and white azaleas burst in Atlanta, it’s really like no other beauty.
And when I have a new bright green chair and sweet girls to boot, it’s a great combination in my opinion!
“All for one and one for all
My brother and my friend
What fun we have
The time we share
Brothers ’til the end.” ~ author unknown
One…two…three brothers! Best way to catch this much enthusiasm is through individual portraits, which perfectly coincide with baby brother’s first year portraits. Another stunningly beautiful spring morning in Atlanta, only made better by capturing three boys each full of their own personality!

“Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she wonderful? Isn’t she precious?” ~ Stevie Wonder
Newborns are so full of squishy love – and Baby C was the perfect model at week one! And she posed so nicely in a special hat that was one of her first gifts. We were lucky to have some wide-eyed time, and super sleepy mode. I simply adore newborns, and this Stevie Wonder song always makes me think of my own!

Spring has sprung, and I can’t wait to hit some of my favorite locations for some greenery and sunshiny days! I captured these boys during spring break, and while their mom was happy to get portraits of all three, they were more excited to get started on some fun! Enjoy the weather!

I love shooting newborns and babies, and it brings me right back to when I had my own sweet children. I have been shooting this newborn throughout his first year, and wanted to share some newborn moments, as well as the 3 month christening gown shoot. Baby L’s grandmother handmade his spectacular christening gown, and it is one-of-a-kind, just like this little one!
As I wind up another busy year, I wanted to share a couple of my favorite family portrait sessions that were used for holiday cards, including my own! Cheers!
One thing we can count on in Atlanta is spectacular color, especially in the fall! I’ve photographed this family for several years for their annual portrait, and I couldn’t believe our timing to get the most beautiful yellow gingko natural carpet in the city! This year’s portraits made for colorful Christmas cards!
