10 Years Later... This past fall I received an email from a past client. She mentioned their anniversary session they had with me almost 10 years ago with their dog Nelson. And of course I remembered them! Ten years later, they were contacting me for a session because they were expecting their sweet baby girl in January. If you ask any photographer...this is the best compliment you can receive. A repeat client. Honored they wanted me to capture their maternity and newborn session as they become parents and a family of 4. Yep, Nelson became a big brother too! Needless to say, blogging their sessions was a must. And yes, I keep all my sessions backed up on external drives. Crazy, I know! Loved looking back at their session from 10 years ago. Hope you enjoy their photos and make sure to keep scrolling to see their sweet baby girl! XOXO - Kirsten  Their family session from 2013 was done in Reynoldstown in Atlanta, Georgia. It was full of fun murals and sculptures on the Atlanta Beltline and I'm sure it has grown so much over the last 10 years.    This past fall we headed to Piedmont Park in downtown Atlanta, Georgia for their maternity photos. A great place for those iconic city photos everyone loves. I love taking photos there but also prefer weekday mornings as there are less people!       In January, I finally got to meet little Ruby! All my newborn sessions are done in the comfort of your home. In-home newborn sessions are so special. Your newborn only stays this tiny for a few weeks and I love being able to capture that for my clients.           Did you make it to the end of this post?

A Sunset Dancer Atlanta Family Photographer | Douglasville Photographer On a Sunday, I asked our daughter if she wanted to take some dance photos in our neighborhood. She had mentioned some photos she saw on Pinterest using her pointe shoes so I knew she was interested! We checked the weather app to make sure there was no random pop showers and went for it!! We followed the sunlight and it was perfect! I love watching our daughter dance. She started when she was three years old and hasn't stopped. As she has gotten older you can see how dedicated she is to her sport. Being able to capture that on my camera was just icing on the cake! Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do! xoxo - Kirsten              Did you make it to the end of this post? Make sure to check out my pricing for your next session with me!

Team and Branding Session {monat team} Recently did photos for a team of ladies who work for Monat. Their company is geared towards premium hair and skincare product. They were in Atlanta for their annual conference and asked me to photograph their team! They ROCKED it and we had a blast down at Centennial Olympic Park and Georgia World Congress Center. Why would people want team and branding photos for their business? This is a great question! These photos are great for your website, social media, or any marketing material you might print or need. Showing the faces behind your company can add a personal human touch to your business and allow your {potential} customer to know a little bit more about you as a person.

I offer both maternity and newborn sessions to my clients and I wanted to share the options that I offer plus these photos of clients are too cute not to share!!  Maternity Sessions This session can be done outside or in your home. Best part, we plan it together with your vision in mind. Just depends on what you love, the style for your family, and the time of year!! Outside sessions can be urban, nature, or a fun location you might have in mind. For in-home sessions, I describe these as a story-telling session. It is more relaxed and if you have older kids, we can do fun activities to capture your family. Outside Maternity Session Scroll down to check out this family's outside maternity session last fall. Loved the glam that they added with the urban look in Downtown Douglasville. They happen to do two family sessions while pregnant so we got to have fun with both outside and in-home sessions!          In-Home Maternity Sessions These sessions have my heart! I just love being able to tell your story and capture your family in your home. We plan it out together and what your vision is! And trust me, every single home is PERFECT because it has YOU in it. So don't stress about the mess or the stuff around your home. I have my own family {3 kiddos y'all} and totally can relate to a loved home. I've got you!! Where do I photograph in your home for an in-home session? I get this question a lot!! I typically photograph in your living room, bedroom, nursery, playroom, and I even use a kitchen. We can capture your family snuggling together on a couch or bed as well as a fun activity like cooking or playing games! Check out this family maternity session in their home. The ones with the backdrop? It's their wall. So yes, we get creative!!        In-home Newborn Session Now that you've had that baby, you need photos of that precious little bundle of joy!! My newborn sessions are all done in the comfort of your home. You might have heard this called "lifestyle photos" which is where we capture your family in a relaxed non-posed way! Just like my in-home maternity sessions, we plan this together and work together to create the look you want! With your newborn, we capture all the sweet details along with snuggles with the family and parents. We can use the nursery or where ever is the most comfortable for you at the time. Scroll down to see this family and their precious newborn baby boy!                    Interested in booking a maternity and newborn session? So you can book both sessions or you can book either one! When you do book both sessions together, you do receive $100 off your newborn session! I typically schedule your maternity session around 30-34 weeks and place your due date on the calendar. We schedule your newborn session between 8-14 days after the baby is born. Capturing your family and telling your story is something I LOVE to do!!

Arizona Vacation Adventure {Couples Edition} Last month, we had an amazing vacation in Arizona!! My husband, myself, and another couple jetted off from the good old south and headed out west!! I thought it would be fun to share our adventures with you and how we ended up in Arizona. Of course I took photos and if you've been following me for a while, you know that I always use both my DSLR and my cell phone camera when on vacation. No shame in making it easy on myself when traveling for fun. So I hope you keep scrolling to see some amazing views and see all the fun we had! XOXO - Kirsten  Omni Tucson National Resort. View from Bobs Steak House onto their golf course. Why did we choose Arizona?? Without getting a little bitter about 2020, our original vacation was planned for Scotland in March of 2020 but we all know why that didn't happen. Scotland WILL happen in 2022!! We brainstormed for a fun vacation in the US and was open to travelers. We also wanted a location that we all haven't experienced before that was TOTALLY different than Georgia. So we landed on Arizona!!! One of the best things we did was hire a travel agent. I'll share more about how awesome Heather is and her details at the end of this blog post!  Tuscon, Arizona Our time in Tucson was filled with relaxing, golf, spa, and of course hiking!! We also had to taste their Mexican food a few times. The heat is totally different than the south. We just kept saying, "It's a dry heat!".  Saguaro National Park Instead of rows and rows of trees, it was cacti! I've traveled a lot but it was so amazing to see how vastly different the desert was compared to living on the east coast.     Tombstone, Az We decided at the last minute it would be fun to drive down to Tombstone, Az to see the Wild West and all its history. Including the O.K. Corral! It was fun and a tad cheesy! The drive was nice and beautiful to take in.  Our time in Tucson was great! I would highly recommend our hotel; Omni Tucson National Resort. I loved that it was small and quiet. The rooms were more like villas with their own outside entrance. We ate outside for breakfast everyday and the birds were so loud and chatty!  Next stop.... Sedona, Az Now, Tucson was beautiful but Sedona is breathtaking!! To go from the desert and then all of the sudden see these gorgeous red rocks is pretty amazing. We really had to remind ourselves that we were still in the same state! This part of our trip was a little busier with ATV riding, Grand Canyon tour, golf, and a Vortex hike! We all said that it would be worth another trip back to Sedona to see more.  We stayed at the Amara Resort in Sedona. The photos here are the views from their patio and parking lot. It was pretty awesome to sit outside and take in the view. The resort was busier on the weekend and quieter during the week. Perfect for couples or fun with girlfriends.  ATV Tour through Sedona It was an experience for sure!! Out of everyone, I was the only one that had NEVER done it but I can now say that I did it!! :) Our tour guide was great and made the experience that much better!     Hummer Tour through the South Rim of the Grand Canyon We did a day trip to the Grand Canyon and decided on a guided hummer tour. It was great to have someone tell you exactly what you are looking at and the history behind it. It was so beautiful and looked like a painting. So glad we had great weather.        Sedona Sunset Vortex Hike While the guys went golfing, we decided to do something we never could do at home!! Why not a hike, mediation, a little yoga, and learning about vortexes?? Oh boy did we learn all about them!! It was so interesting to learn about Cathedral Rock and how people believe that spiritual vortexes are present there. We hiked down to the bottom where there is a creek and then hiked back up to see the sunset go down over Cathedral Rock. A great way to end the trip!        Our trip was amazing thanks to Heather with Simply Enchanted Travel!!  Our experience on our trip was amazing due to Heather and her expertise! She took into consideration all of our likes and put together a great itinerary. As a small business owner, I love supporting others so make to check her out and possibility use her for your next trip. A little bit about Heather and how she can help you!!

That's where I come in.

I sometimes forget to capture my kids like I do my clients and always rely on my cell phone. Not a bad thing but it's life. My kids give me a hard time when taking photos so don't think they are perfect little angels. Back in the day when my two older kids were little, I would actually make their Valentine's Day Cards and be all artsy for them! Even though they are older, why not have a little fun with them!! And of course my youngest is 5 so he was a willing participant...kinda. So today Im sharing how I made TWO fun backdrops to create a fun Valentine's Day Photo. Better yet?? It was less than $10 from Target! No fancy backdrop here, all I used were foam hearts and a roll of hearts wrapping paper. So take a few minutes to scroll down to check out how I make it work and how much fun it was. Bonus??? I took photos with both my DSLR camera and my cell phone. Just to prove that anyone can do this!!   1. Foam Hearts to create a fun backdrop! Don't have foam hearts? Want to be a little extra with crafts? Just cut out hearts from construction paper! Also saves you $. Step 1 - Find a wall in your home with good light or head outside! {like the picture above} Step 2 - Tape hearts to the wall or ground Step 3 - Talk your kids into participating! For step 3, it cost a few pieces of candy and dessert after dinner. :) Photo Tip: Want those hearts to look a little "blurry" in the background? Just place your child a few feet away from the wall. This will allow a good distance so that it gives you that "blurry background"! You'll see the difference between the photos below.     More comfortable with your cell phone camera?? Totally okay!! The photos below were taken with my iphone 11 pro max! The two images on the outside were with the "portrait mode" and the one in the middle was with the regular photo setting! I edited these in PicTapGo. Totally works with your cell phone as long as you have good light in the room you use.  Now with my tween daughter we took the hearts outside! Super simple and super sweet!! We looked up some fun inspiration on Pinterest and had fun. If it wasn't February, we would have had fun with chalk art. But it was a tad chilly outside.   2. Use wrapping paper as a backdrop! Of course any paper will do! You could even use kraft paper and draw hearts on there if you already have that in your home. Step 1 - Find a wall in your home {I used the same place I did the hearts} Step 2 - Line it up with your baseboards and tape it up! Step 3 - Take your child's photo! Photo Tip: Just be mindful that you have to get close up shots with the older kids due to the wrapping paper not being that tall. If you want them to stand, you would need to tape up two rows of wrapping paper. I was working fast and easy so it was only 1 row of wrapping paper for me!     And here's proof again that you can do this with your cell phone camera! These are all taken in portrait mode with my iphone 11 pro max.  I hope you've enjoyed reading this blog post today and encouraged to go out and photograph your kiddos for Valentine's Day! Feel free to tag me if you give it a try. I even managed to print my photos to decorate for Valentine's Day. Check what I did with them over on Instagram. Let's just say I won extra mom points!!
