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.

When trying to figure out when to do your newborn portrait session, there are a few things to consider. 

If you would like those super curled up images of your baby and images where your infant is super small, then I would recommend booking your newborn session during the first two weeks of life. This is also usually the time before colic and baby acne would arrive, if that ends up being a thing for your sweet baby.

Now, if you would like some wide eyed shots as well as those sleepy images then you may want to wait a bit. Some parents prefer to do their newborn portraits around six weeks. At this age, infants don't curl up quite as tight when they sleep, but their sleep details are still adorable. Most moms mention that they seem to be a bit into a routine at this point, which can help predict baby's mood, sleep and eating patterns. 

Regardless on your baby's age, I am here to document those precious moments. If you are still unsure when to book, don't hesitate to reach out. I am happy to talk through options with you.

Cannot believe that my daughter graduates high school in two months. Does not seem possible. I could not be prouder of this girl of mine. She is such a beautiful soul, smart, kind, thoughtful, hard working, dedicated and funny to boot. 

My goals for the first six months of the year look a bit different, but at the same time, really aren't. I always have goals that include my daughter, but there is certainly more emphasis on things this year with her. I want to go on a mother/daughter trip, a family trip, visit more colleges, plan her graduation party, do some more photo sessions that she has requested, design save the date and graduation announcements, gather pictures for a slideshow for her graduation party, start compiling dorm room items and be present as much as possible.

Still seems like yesterday I was just meeting her for the first time at the hospital and just like that....my baby girl will be moving on to start the next chapter of her life.

A benefit of photographing a baby when they are a bit older is that you can get these precious wide eyed images as well as more varied facial expressions. I mean….you cannot get over those beautiful eyes and those stunning eyelashes.

One fun thing that I get to do as a family photographer is spending time with babies in the early stages of their lives. Such an honor to document these special moments for families. This little lady was such a pleasure to photograph. Especially since I got to do a session with her big sister when she was the same age. Love that they used this precious family heirloom bassinet, which made things just that much more special. Cannot wait to cuddle with some more babies at session in the near future. My baby is about to graduate high school, so newborn sessions give me my baby fix while also flooding back memories of those infant days that I treasure so much.
