At the beginning of May, I joined the National Guard in Marietta for celebrating the Military Child. It was a fun day, filled with super heroes and a bunch of kids having a blast with bounce houses, magic tricks, face painting, a petting zoo and many other fabulous activities. This kiddo hammed it up good with…

Hilton Head Birthday Weekend – Part 2

By Kelley / May 27, 2014 /

As soon as we got into town, we checked into our room, dropped our bags and headed for the beach. We couldn’t wait to see the ocean. And only the girl child stopped on the tree long enough to pose for a photograph. I’m told she looks like me, but I don’t see it. There…

One of my favorite families referred these guys to me when Sarah was asking around for a photographer who would work on Easter morning.  Her six month old twins were getting christened during the Easter church service and she wanted photographs of that, as well as portraits of all the extended family gathering for the…

Newborn Twins {Woodstock, GA Lifestyle Photographer} – Morgan Family

By Kelley / November 11, 2013 /

I bet you remember this family.  I photographed them for the first time, just days after they found out they were pregnant.  And by the time I showed them their first round of photographs, they had learned they were pregnant with twins. These sleepy, sweet little boys arrived October 9th in the middle of an operating room…

Family Photography Session At Lake Acworth In Acworth, GA

By Kelley / September 20, 2013 /

This family was awesome from the start.  They won a session in a raffle from the Military Festival I sponsored a few months ago.  As soon as I walked into their home for the pre-consultation to talk about clothing choices, location and all the what-to-expect-what-we-will-do-question-answers, I saw photographs covering their walls.  Of their family.  I…

Woodstock, GA Family Photographer – Rand Family And Their Flying Kids!

By Kelley / August 19, 2013 /

This is the third time I have photographed this family since last Thanksgiving.  I love them more and more each time.  How is that even possible?  I love that the hour flies by while we have a great time together.  We’re silly.  We poke fun.  I get called Keisha.  It’s all good.   Last night, when…

Chicago, IL Family Photography Session – Ernst Family

By Kelley / February 26, 2013 /

As I’m focusing on family and on the hunt for an awesomely fabulous family to photograph for free, I realized I somehow neglected to share more from this session in Chicago last fall.  And oh. my. goodness.  Was this little girl adored by her parents.  It was so awesome to see!  She was twirled and…

And Then There Were Four – The Rand Family

By Kelley / February 6, 2013 /

After photographing this family at Agnes Scott, I promised to come back after Wyatt was born for a few newborn photographs.  What was supposed to be just a little mini-session turned into a full newborn session.  I loved every minute of it. I was having fun photographing all the little things I miss about having…

Atlanta Family Photography Session At Agnes Scott University – Rand Family

By Kelley / February 5, 2013 /

On this chilly November morning, just after Thanksgiving, I met this awesome family on the Agnes Scott College campus for family portraits.  This was carefully planned to not interfere with any college or professional football games.      Remember I said chilly?  They were pros at NOT looking cold.  Coats were donned as we walked around…
