1st Birthday Christmas Photoshoot | Athens, GA

This little lady’s first birthday was documented with a Christmas photoshoot at her family home in Athens, GA. I love it when parents choose to showcase their baby’s milestones while highlighting the season – in this case, a festive tree! Since we held their session at their home, I was able to get images with the tree and then the more traditional images without the Christmas decorations. It worked out perfectly!

This sweet baby girl is such a delight to photograph. Love her personality. Not sure how mom and dad ever say no to that face. I bet it is pretty hard! I loved documenting her first year milestones and seeing her change right in front of my camera! When I first photographed her, she was just a couple of months old. Now look at her. Sitting, standing and smiling with such confidence! I’m sure that she is more into the wrapping paper, ribbon and boxes at this age than the actual presents. Remember those days?! SO sweet!

She wore this exact heirloom dress for each photoshoot I did for her. Such a special piece and gave great perspective on her growth. This dress was a dress her mom wore when she was just a baby herself! LOVE that!!!! Sentimental items like this are always a great idea to use for your portraits. Great example of how to dress your baby girl for her own photoshoot.

I hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season. It is always that much magical with children in the home! Soak it all up while you can.

If you are wanting images like this of your own little one, consider booking a photoshoot in the new year. There may not be any sessions left this year, but you can still book a session for the beginning of January before you take all your Christmas decorations down. Of course, any time of year is a good time to document those important milestones.

Love this area of the historic district of Jekyll Island. Pretty walkways, roads, buildings, trees and scenery. It is like taking a step back in time in many ways. I have been photographing my daughter in this exact location for the last few summers and it never disappoints.

There is something about the ocean in black and white that feels both quiet and dramatic.

In this image from Jekyll Island, the clouds along the horizon almost become their own landscape, while the waves rolling onto shore add movement, texture and depth. A simple beach scene, but one that feels timeless.

What a beautiful way to spend part of summer break - studying, writing papers and taking quizzes while tucked away on Jekyll Island. Not a bad “classroom” at all.

She is heading into her sophomore year at GCSU, and this portrait felt like the perfect way to mark the season - relaxed, confident and surrounded by the timeless beauty of Jekyll Island’s historic district, with live oaks and Spanish moss framing the moment.

Had the best time photographing this beautiful girl on Jekyll Island this past week. 

Her mom dreamed of soft clouds, magical color, gentle ocean waves and a calm evening without too much wind - and Jekyll delivered.

It was the sweetest way to begin the week and such a special reminder that preteen portraits deserve to feel just as meaningful, beautiful and timeless.
