Family Portraits at Home | The Stann Family

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. 

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! 

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!)

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: https://www.instagram.com/p/BZZgxe9nz7E/?taken-by=southernsavvygram. 

Also, make sure to check out the terrific foundation that Teressa and her sister have spearheaded, the Lou Ruspi Jr. Foundation, focusing on improving mental health and suicide prevention in schools and in the community. We featured their story in Our Milton Neighbor and I was so moved by their work.

The Williams Family | Our Milton Neighbor Cover Family

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 Our Milton Neighbor launched, and I look forward to photographing 11 more wonderful families in 2016! 

If you have someone you think would be good for an issue of the magazine (including yourself!), contact me.

The Kipniss Family | Our Milton Neighbor

Milton GA Photographer Shares Images from Lastest Issue of Our Milton Neighbor Magazine

It's been my privilege this year to write and and photograph families for two magazines, WindScene and Our Milton Neighbor. This are images from the latest issue of Our Milton Neighbor.

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 making a difference in the lives of families with diabetes (one of their daughters has Type I diabetes) and supporting other charitable causes in the community, including FOCUS, a charity close to my heart. Mike Kipniss, a financial advisor, has recently become certified as a Chartered Special Needs Consultant as well. 

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!), contact me. I can't wait!
