Fun with my own kiddos!

Maternity Session ~ Atlanta, Georgia Maternity Photographer

I had such a great time photographing these two. We met at the beautiful Atlanta Botanical Gardens right in the heart of the city.  We got in our one hour maternity session just before a big storm!   And let me just tell you that it was HOT on this July day in the ATL!  Whew...and this pregnant momma hung in there and took it all in stride.

I have known this momma-to-be for a while now as she is a good friend of my sister.  I was so excited to get to capture this special moment for her.  What an awesome time in life for them...they are expecting their first baby.  You can see from these images that Adrienne and her hubby are just glowing with anticipation and excitement.  And to make it even more fun...they don't known what this little bambino is going to be...a girl or a boy?  Ughhhh, the waiting is killing me!  But not them. They are just as content and calm as can be - enjoying the moment.  These 2 are so cute together as they focus on her baby bump for some really great shots.

Sweet Sweet Baby

I traveled to Charleston last weekend to say good-bye to one of my dearest and best friends.  She has been more like a sister to me since the day we met, 17 years ago.  Now, she is making a major move with her family to Brazil as her hubby begins a new career.  I am amazed by her strength and inspired by her continuous faith.  I know this is going to be an amazing adventure for them, though I will miss them dearly.
Thank God for Skype!

I was honored to photograph a "quickie" almost 3 month session 
for the newest little man in her life.  

See that grin...he was staring at his mommy and he is obviously in-love with her!  
Completely smitten and in awe of her beauty and grace.

I snuggled this little 11-week old as much as possible throughout our weekend together.  

I am afraid I confused him just a bit.

His little sister has always called me Auntie Kim, but now I am known as "aunt pillow boobs".  

I accept that title proudly considering I nestled him comfortably on my chest and watched him sleep as often as I could.  

I know all of you {especially mommas} are recalling that snuggle of a newborn sound asleep...

...the sound of a newborn breathing, the smell of a baby's hair

... calm, still and peaceful.  

I feel my blood pressure dropping just thinking about it!

I {heart} photographing newborns and I {heart} this little guy.

My sweet sweet baby Keeler,  

I love you dearly and can not wait to see you grow up

 {and please take care of your mommy for me}.
