What a sweet family of three I had the pleasure of working with. They came up from Augusta for their photo shoot, and totally rocked Lenox Park! Cohen was/is probably the most well behaved one (almost two) year old in the entire world. He did whatever his parents told him to do…even smiled on cue. I learned a valuable lesson during this shoot, tell parents to bring their child’s favorite toys or things that they love. Working with children, you would think that I’d came up with that idea, but nope…it was all Conswala! He rarely separated from his football and I love the shots of him and his trusty little prop.

It was a pleasure working with Jasmine. When she contacted me for a shoot for her and her family, she seemed to know exactly what she wanted, but still open to any suggestions I offered. Her family came dressed so cute in coordinating blue and white. My faaave was litte “Junior Man”, such a cutie pie. The only catch is that you ABSOLUTELY have to talk to him for laughs, lol! You can tell that these awesome parents give him a ton of attention and love.

Extremely proud of the picture on the right. It is my first successful “head swap”. I really wanted a picture of everyone smiling. I’m thrilled that I was able to sort of create that. It ended up being our favorite from the session!

I came back a day or two to capture some of Junior Man’s awesome three-monthness…in the comfort of their home!

Thanks for looking!

If you would have told me 10 years ago “Farrahn, I predict in 10 years, YOU’ll be taking maternity pictures for JANET.” I would have thought you’d lost your mind…and fortunately, I would have been SO wrong because here we are…she is certainly getting ready to welcome a baby boy. I don’t doubt for one second that Janet (Nunu) wont be an excellent parent because she’s an awesome “Aunt Nunu” to my God kids and her little niece Harmony. They love her! It’s just going to be a different experience watching her with a little one during that teeny tiny stage, but as I stated, I know that those natural mothering skills will kick in and she’ll do a great job, and I’m excited to watch her journey. Hopefully, I’ll be called a few more time to take pictures along the way.

I’ve enjoyed editing these pictures, and I had  a very hard time choosing which ones to share for sneak peeks. She’s got the smallest and cutest little seven month bump that I’ve ever seen! It’s probably a good thing that I don’t live in Augusta because I would have wanted to try all sorts of new things with her and her bump, and I know she would have been all up for it! Anyway, I appreciate being asked to help capture this huuuuge moment, and I rrrreally hope that I’m able to come up when this little one enters this world! Eeek! Exciting!

She’s definitely no stranger to the camera, but this time she had to learn to work with a new little accessory. 

I wanted to see the happy, laughing, and softer side come out for this shoot, and I have to say…that side is just as beautiful.

Love these intimate shots!

There’s a second part to our shoot that I’m holding off on sharing, but just know that I am so excited about it that  IT IS KILLLLLING ME to not show them to the world (or at least those in the world that I know), but clients’ wishes (especially those that I love and adore so much) are ALWAYS respected here. 😉

 

Thanks for looking!

The thing I am starting to RRREALLY love about maternity shoots is the anticipation of being asked to do newborn pics for my maternity clients. Eeek! 🙂 Also, I sort of try to check in to see how my clients are doing. For the most part this means checking in on your social networks from time to time. It’s pretty exciting watching how anxious parents to be are! Anyhow, Kelly-Ann and Nick came up to Atlanta for maternity pictures, and I truly enjoyed working with them. They needed very little direction and vibed sooo well together. Some couples just have “it”, you know? Getting them to have those special moments together was a piece of cake, and I think little Levi is going to be a perfect addition to their family. I’m hoping to do Baby Levi’s newborn pics, but even if I don’t, I can’t waaaait to see him! 😉

 

This family needs no introduction. Missed the window for a maternity shoot and the birth of Hailey so we got together for Hailey’s newborn pictures. SO happy with the results. I’m falling more and more with newborns!
