Mother and Daughter | Marietta GA Family Photographer

I loved working with this mother and daughter pair. The daughter was so fun to work with--eagerly modeling for me as I coached her. I love working with older kids because they are fun to direct, and they really appreciate seeing the results on the back of the camera. These pictures are going to be a real treasure for their family, and (as mom admitted to me) long overdue! Enjoy the sneak peek.

 

Family Portraits in the Old Town | Marietta GA Family Photographer

I love, love, love old places like historic Marietta where we shot these photos last week. Although I have a great fondness indoor photography, my heart really belongs to these great location shoots. After I came home from the shoot, I told my husband how much I was in my element.

Today, though, I was on the other side of the camera. A good friend and fellow photographer Stacey took my family's photos, and it was a good reminder how it feels to be the subject. The shoot itself was awesome, but beforehand, I had major trepidation about our clothes, even though I know very well how to put together attire for a shoot. Then there was the hair, the makeup, and worrying that the location I had chosen wouldn't work out. Well, it all came together, just like last week's shoot did. But after today, I have a new appreciation for my clients! It's definitely worth it though. When you're all done, you have amazing family portraits like these!

At the Creek | Marietta GA Family Photographer

Photographing families is my favorite--especially when they have a sense of adventure. This family wanted to use a particular spot that we hiked into after parking our cars at the trailhead. Definitely worth the effort!
