Athens, GA Pet Photographer | Chocolate Lab

Today, I had the studio set up for a session and decided to get some images of my beautiful Chocolate Labrador, Rose. I have wanted to do an image like this of my lil’ lady for a while now. It will be enlarged and displayed with much pride and love in my home.

I love it when my clients bring their pets with them. These furry friends are such a big part of their families lives and deserve to be documented. For many of us, our pets are our first children. In my case, my husband and I had two black labs before our daughter was born. They were our first children. When we welcomed our daughter into the mix, our pups were such great friends to our daughter. They were so patient and loving of her. The feeling was quite mutual. When they passed away, we took some time and decided to bring another furry family member into our home. Our daughter, Lily, begged for a chocolate lab and when we saw this gorgeous beast, we knew she was “the one” for our family. Lily named her Rose as she thought it would be fitting to have another flower in our family. How sweet is that?! Rose is now five years old. She is such a big part of our family. She is a scaredy cat, but full of energy and loves to play, run and snuggle. She loves to be where ever we are and really enjoys when our daughter’s friends visit. She is just one of the gals in those instances.

We have a 24 inch by 30 inch framed print of our two flowers, Lily and Rose, over our fireplace. That picture was taken when Rose was about three months old. This image above will show how much she has grown and aged with her loose skin and gray chin. Cannot wait to have this printed and placed on my walls.

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.
