Although I'm always excited to create portraits for my business clients, this group of amazing women have a special place in my heart because of the important work they do.<br />
<br />
The session was held in the Klinke Immigration office in Marietta with our mobile studio setup. I love being able to accommodate business clients by coming to them. It makes it so much easier on the staff as well as the business owners.<br />

I looooove these portraits from my session with the Stann family. It's so fun to be part of making a permanent family memory for these girls and their parents. </div>

As you can see from the indoor shots, the Stann family has some beautiful rustic decor, and we echoed that in the framing for their over-the-fireplace portrait. Thanks, Teressa for the cell phone pic! </div>

I try to make every session as painless as possible for parents and kids--especially because I know how stressful it can be to get your portraits taken. My philosophy is, if you're having a good time at the session, then the smiles are going to be natural and genuine! I'm an easy-going person and can handle just about any little hiccup during a shoot, including pets and rambunctious kids. (I love rambunctious kids!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have an awesome time doing my job and I hope my clients have an awesome time with me too! You can see a little behind-the-scenes from our shoot here: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BZZgxe9nz7E/?taken-by=southernsavvygram">https://www.instagram.com/p/BZZgxe9nz7E/?taken-by=southernsavvygram</a>. </div>

Also, make sure to check out the terrific foundation that Teressa and her sister have spearheaded, the <a href="https://www.lrjfoundation.com/">Lou Ruspi Jr. Foundation</a>, focusing on improving mental health and suicide prevention in schools and in the community. We featured their story in <i>Our Milton Neighbor </i>and I was so moved by their work. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
As an Atlanta-area family photographer, I work with all sorts of age groups and my fair share of pets, not to mention the occasional horse or two. Over the years, I've developed some "best practices" for working with everyone during a session--and I'm going to let you in on my secrets. Here are my top tips to get the best results out of your portrait session with Butler Family Photography.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Get advice on clothing before the session</b></div>
<div>
Besides booking the session, choosing clothes is probably the hardest part of the process! I have a lengthy page about <a href="https://butlerfamilyphotography.smugmug.com/Website/Services-1/Portrait-Photography/What-to-Wear-Families">what to wear for your portrait session</a>, and I'm happy to make recommendations. Hint: I generally recommend selecting attire based on where you are going to hang your portraits in your home. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Complimentary Image Consultation</b></div>
<div>
Clients are also welcome to work with my image consultant and makeup artist, Deborah Fawaz, to determine best colors to wear as well as hair and makeup tips for the session. Deborah has generously offered a complimentary 30-minute image consultation to any client who books with Butler Family Photography during the 2017 season. Thanks Deborah!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Think about having portraits at your home</b></div>
<div>
In general, we come to our clients' home to do most of our sessions. We find that holding the session in a familiar place makes the process go a lot smoother. Clothing options, bathroom facilities, and air-conditioning or heating is readily available. There's also something wonderful about having a family picture in a place that has a special meaning to you. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Let the photographer handle the smiles</b></div>
<div>
At the session, it's time to let the photographer take charge. That means if a grandchild isn't smiling or a sibling is feeling rebellious, don't scold or reprimand. Kids need time to warm up to the idea of having their portrait taken, so it's okay if they aren't cooperative at first. We have lots of tricks we can use to get smiles. The main takeaway here is that people smile naturally when they are having a good time, so we do our best to make the session a fun experience. Oh, and please, don't say cheese. The "cheese" smile is unnatural and not flattering. We have much more funny things to say to get a better smile (and maybe a laugh) out of that shot. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Choose a professional</b></div>
<div>
Being a family portrait artist isn't an easy occupation--there are so many moving parts to handle when posing a group, coaxing out smiles, even getting the dog positioned just right all while coordinating lighting, exposure, and other technical aspects of photography. As a Certified Professional Photographer, I've been vetted by my peers and regularly participate in continuing education with some of the top photographers in the nation. You're in good hands when you choose Butler Family Photography!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other day I was looking for some recent portraits of my family that weren't selfies or quick snapshots, and I realized it had been over a year since we'd had formal portraits taken. I used to be so good about doing formal portraits every spring and fall, but with our lives getting more busy and with my business growing, it's been hard to prioritize family portraits. However, we are going to have them done as part of our vacation this summer. And I'm so excited!</div>
<br />
I know I'm not the only one who has good intentions about having portraits done but never get around to them. (I even bought a new outfit for my son which, I'm sure, he has grown out of by now!)<br />
<br />
That's why a call to a photographer to get your session on the calendar really helps move the process along. If I had set a date for those portraits instead of waiting for "when I had time", I'm sure we would have done them by now. So, lesson learned. I've got a date and a location for our next family portrait session and now I just need to make sure we have the right clothes for the occasion -- it's going to be a formal portrait. Did I say I was excited?!<br />
<br />
Here are 5 tips for getting your portrait session plans moving this summer:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>All Together this Summer? Schedule Portraits.</b> This season is one of the only times some families are together -- especially if older ones are off in college or have their own families and live farther away. As kids and families get older, there are only certain times that a family portrait is possible. Make sure to take advantage of the occasion to have a family portrait.<br /><br /></li>
<li><b>Have Portraits Taken while on Vacation.</b> If you are going on a trip, plan to have portraits taken as part of the experience. Many cruises have photography sessions available, and there are seasoned photographers who do portraits in popular vacation spots. Check out the <a href="https://www.ppa.com/findaphotographer/">Professional Photographers of America "Find a Photographer" resource</a> for a qualified photographer in the area. By the way, if you are vacationing in the Atlanta-area, I'm available for Atlanta family portraits.<br /><br /></li>
<li><b>Plan a Family Portrait Session before the Wedding. </b>Summer is a popular time for weddings, so if you have a wedding in the family, consider having a family portrait session a couple days before the wedding. My family did this before my brother's wedding several years ago and I'm so glad we did. It is the only portrait we have of everyone in the family including grand kids and spouses. I'm not sure we have all been together in the same place since then!<br /><br /></li>
<li><b>Hit the Beach First, then the Portrait Session. </b>Have a beach vacation planned this summer? A lot of my clients like to have their portraits taken after they've had a little sun. Scheduling your session a week or two after you get home from vacation is great. It lets you have a bit of a rest from your vacation and you'll still have your summer tan. You can even wear a new outfit you bought on vacation!<br /><br /></li>
<li><b>Book Fall Sessions Now.</b> Want to wait until fall when the leaves are changing and the weather is a little cooler? Book your September, October, or November session with your photographer now. Fall is the busiest season for family photographers and spots fill up fast. Getting your date on the calendar now is the best way to ensure you'll have that spot you want.</li>
</ol>
<br />
If you are in the North Fulton area (Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, Cumming, Johns Creek), we'd be thrilled to take care of your family portraits!<br />
<br />
Summer is a great time for portraits, especially in the evening when the light is so beautiful and it has cooled down a bit. I regularly create portraits at my clients' home -- where we have an air-conditioned space to duck into between takes. And yes, we can do them indoors instead if it's raining or if it's too hot outside.<br />
<br />
We regularly do weekend sessions because we know that's when families can be together. <a href="https://butlerfamilyphotography.smugmug.com/Contact-1">Contact us</a> for more information.<br />

"Mommy, since it's getting to be New Year's--" my son Peter said this evening "Wait. Has New Year's already passed? Well, since I didn't make a new year's resolution, I'm making one. I'm going to sleep on the couch for an entire week!"<br />
<br />
So, Peter brought down blanket, pillow, fan, and the ubiquitous Garfield comic book to settle in for the fulfillment of Peter's New Year's Resolution Day 1.<br />
<br />
In the middle of reading, Peter said, "Mommy, do we have a picture album?" In the world of cell phones and digital photography, I definitely don't have the volumes my own mom had, but I do have a small album I keep on my desk for snapshots and prints. Some are professional portraits I've done. Others are from camps or other places where we got snapshots. I have a wide collection of silly selfies we need to print for that album!<br />
<br />
This latest portrait's going in there too. And on the wall as well.<br />
<br />
As we looked through the album, I though about how much photography means to me. With my little guy growing up so fast, I am reminded again and again how important it is to take time to record these small, special moments. Life is so busy and I know I won't remember them if I don't take the time to write and photograph our quirky, funny lives. (By the way, he enjoyed it looking through the album too, for other reasons--memories of favorite stuffed animals.)<br />
<br />
I hope you are taking the time to record your special memories with your family. And yes, selfies and Facebook count! But don't forget to print some of those too. Well, now my son's out of "bed" and drawing. I have a feeling this "New Year's Resolution" might not work out exactly like he had planned.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Thanks to Miranda Johnson for manning the shutter and getting this beautiful shot. (It's fun to do some self-portraits after a friend and client's headshot session.)</i><br />

Here is another of our photography experiments. Time lapse photography with two weeks of laundry to be folded!<br />

It's also a great way to get used to being in front of the camera with a no-pressure photographer (me)! I love how we got some dramatic lighting for the environmental portraits and then took a little more traditional approach with the black and white one. Best of luck Dillon! You look amazing. <br />

I love selfies and snapshots. And believe me, I have more than most people, but those aren't the kind of pictures I want to be remembered by. That's why, despite weighing 15 pounds heavier than I'd like and the logistics of getting my kiddo to cooperate, I make portraits a priority. Thanks to Jacob Butler for shooting the images I used to create this finished portrait! </div>

One of my most poignant memories from my former life as a junior high school teacher was during a faculty inservice. The keynote speaker had finished and members of the local high school band came in to play a piece for us. During the piece, I was incredibly moved by the fact that I had been a part of these young people's lives, that their soon-to-be-adulthood would take a part of my influence. I can only imagine that this incredible sense of honor and pride is similar to what parents feel about their graduating seniors. </div>

Each image is 20 inches wide and are made for a larger matted frame. I can't tell you what a thrill it is to create something I know will be treasured for years to come. We did the shoot in the client's home and I had a great time coaxing smiles out of the little ones and their big sister.<br />
<br />
When is the last time you had a portrait made of your kids?<br />

I have a wonderful headshot event coming up in a month in the Roswell GA studio. It's a perfect time to get that updated headshot done before summer. Hair and makeup touchups will be done by <a href="http://www.beautipage.com/debfawaz/">Deborah Fawaz</a> of BeautiControl and <a href="https://www.silpada.com/shop?rep=tanya.scheder">Tanya Scheder</a> will be doing accessory and jewelry styling with gorgeous pieces from Silpada Designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like my last headshot event, I expect this one to sell out, so <a href="http://butlerfamilyphotography.blogspot.com/p/contact.html">book your spot early</a>. I look forward to seeing you!</div>

Sometimes my job is to take portraits of the cutest kiddos. This little sweetheart and her parents were no exception. It's been almost a year since <i>Our Milton Neighbor</i> launched, and I look forward to photographing 11 more wonderful families in 2016! </div>

First of all, they are a lovely, amazing family who were just great to photograph. But let's talk about those sweet doggies. I love dogs, and there's something about the way I photograph families and that makes them want to be in the picture. But sometimes they don't want to look or pose. They are not easily directed!<br />
<br />
Because I take several frames of the same pose, if I can, I'll use Photoshop to retouch the image so that I've got everyone looking at me, even the pets. Both the mom and I noticed that one of the boxers was too far away from the group, so I retouched that part too!<br />

<br />
I'm a special needs parent. Though I don't blog about it often, each of my days revolves around this fact. Every week has its challenges: cystic fibrosis treatments, medication for CF, ADHD, and mood, doctor's appointments, psychiatry and therapy sessions, plus all the necessary wrangling with insurance and pharmacies to make them happen.<br />
<br />
Then there's my complicated little engineer, Peter, who has flummoxed teachers, therapists, and special education professionals. His behavior vacillates from exuberant, sweet, and charming to distracted, angry, and destructive in a matter of seconds when he is triggered. I think I may be on speed dial at the school, and I've been to the principal's office more times than I care to admit.<br />
<br />
Through the years, I have adapted to parenting my son as best as I can, though, when my husband and I separated and I became a single parent, it got harder. The meltdowns and the instability of my son's behavior mean that I am always on call, at work, on a shoot, or on vacation.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, Peter's dad and I received the results of an extensive battery of neurological and psychological tests that we had done to give us a better direction on treatment options. The evaluator said, "I won't torture you by waiting until the end of the appointment. I see Asperger's disorder and also bipolar." Then, we spent the next two hours going over the data and examining how these diagnoses explain the what's going on with our child. The puzzle pieces finally had names, and although I'm still processing the results, I know it's going to make a big difference for our future.<br />
<br />
I took this portrait last Saturday of my son at the <a href="http://www.srmduluth.org/">Southeastern Railway Museum</a> in Duluth, one of our favorite places to go because my son is <i>obsessed</i> with trains, really, obsessed. And though I know that it's a beautiful picture, it means so much more to me because it encapsulates my son in ways that aren't obvious to the casual viewer.<br />
<br />
First there's the trains, a fixation that Peter has had since he was 3 and which we now realize is hallmark of kids with Asperger's. Then there's the stuffed puppy, who, like the dozens of other stuffed animals at our apartment, is a comfort to Peter who deals with overwhelming emotions everyday. I was in charge of the engineer outfit, but my quirky boy decided it was also appropriate attire for church the next day, and yes, I let him wear it because we were already late and my Mormon church family loves Peter however he dresses. Then there's the smile, which doesn't tell the story of the tantrum that occurred only 15 minutes beforehand because he was done taking pictures, but I wasn't. Fortunately, the mood shifted and this was one of the last frames of the day.<br />
<br />
Making portraits like this is kind of like having a lifeboat in an ocean of special needs, at least for me. It's my way of holding on to the best, most beautiful moments, even though many of the other moments are challenging. I've got a lot of research to do now, and learning, and <i>earning </i>to do as we embark on new treatments for Peter's diagnoses. But for now, a train, a kid, and a stuffed puppy is enough. Good night.adgasdghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16982531547299442719noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310454931464858426.post-61368603222398117492015-09-17T08:45:00.001-07:002015-09-17T08:47:03.222-07:00The Duston Family | WindSceneThis vibrant, friendly family was featured in the <i>WindScene</i> this month. Both parents are busy professionals but also involved in their girls' lives. And yes, the girls were just as adorable in person as they are on camera.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I connected with the family on lots of levels because as a working mom myself, I know how challenging it can be to juggle home, kids, and career. One of the ways this family makes it work through the help of the kids' grandparents on both sides. I'm sure these girls are going to have some pretty incredible memories of their grandmas and grandpas because of the extra time they've spent with them.</div>

Milton GA Photographer Shares Images from Lastest Issue of Our Milton Neighbor Magazine</h4>
<br />
It's been my privilege this year to write and and photograph families for two magazines, <i>WindScene </i>and <i>Our Milton Neighbor</i>. This are images from the latest issue of <i>Our Milton Neighbor</i>.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Besides creating beautiful portraits, working for the magazine has given me a chance to know each of our cover families on a personal level. This gorgeous family, the Kipnisses, was no exception. I was particularly inspired by their dedication to <a href="http://jdrf.org/">making a difference in the lives of families with diabetes</a> (one of their daughters has Type I diabetes) and supporting other charitable causes in the community, including <a href="http://www.focus-ga.org/">FOCUS</a>, a charity close to my heart. Mike Kipniss, a <a href="http://www.financialguide.com/en/michael-kipniss/about">financial advisor</a>, has recently become certified as a Chartered Special Needs Consultant as well. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I'm always looking for new Milton families to feature in the magazine, so if you have someone you think would be good for an issue of the magazine (including yourself!), <a href="http://www.butlerfamilyphotography.com/p/contact.html">contact me</a>. I can't wait!<br />

Dogs are such an important part of my clients' and my own life! I really didn't know how much a pet could love you until I got a dog. Turns out, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/debbie-gisonni/lessons-from-dogs_b_5556867.html">dogs can teach you a lot</a> about how to live a better life too.<br />
<br />
Here's our sweet 3-year-old cockapoo, Jack. Love you, boy!adgasdghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16982531547299442719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310454931464858426.post-67865811376839728452015-08-20T09:07:00.001-07:002015-08-20T09:07:31.935-07:00When to Have Your Family Portraits Taken | Alpharetta GA Family Photographer When is the last time you had your family portraits taken? My rule of thumb for young families is every 1-2 years, and the best times of year are usually the spring and the fall, but if you do early morning or late evening in the summer, that's also a great way to go. If you have adult children who are out of the home, take portraits whenever you have the chance to get together! As your family gets older, those times will be fewer and farther between.<br />
<br />
I recently talked to a client who booked a session for her family because her son would be home from college for a short window of time. She thought about going with a discount photographer, but picked me because she didn't want to risk having less-than-professional portraits taken. Her words were, "They're family pictures. They're important! It's worth hiring you to make sure they are done right." (I'm blushing now.)<br />
<br />
If you need your family portraits taken and live near Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, or Johns Creek, now is the time to <a href="http://www.butlerfamilyphotography.com/p/contact.html">schedule your session</a> for holiday cards, presents, and wall portraits before I am booked for the season. <br />
<br />
Enjoy some darling portraits taken this summer!<br />
