Baby Olivia {Metter, GA Newborn Photographer}

You first met this family back in November, while Miss Olivia was still in her mommy's tummy. Brandy was one of the very first people to jump up when I started my photography venture and her trust to now capture the first year of her baby girls life means more than  can say.   I absolutely adore her family. Matt and I are so lucky to call Rhett and Brandy friends of ours. The newborn session was an adventure to schedule! Mother nature sent some *crazy* weather that week, and so we ended up breaking the session into two times, and wouldn't you know it, sweet Olivia was an angel both times. Her big brother Zach was such a big help, even reminded me to wash my hands! ;) Already looking out for his sweet baby sister. I have a LOT of favorites from this session, so be prepared. Congratulations to the Youngblood family, see you again in a few months!!!

Sweet Miss Marley {Statesboro Newborn Photographer}

I love everything about newborn sessions. The light, the pace, the attention to detail. Recently, there has been a bit of debate amongst photographers about the 'type' of newborn sessions are best. The more 'posed' portrait type with blankets, props and such or the 'lifestyle' type, which depicts the experience in real time of life with a newborn, with parents and siblings. True to my personality, I can't decide.  I like both! :) and since my "studio" travels with me most of the time I say why not give my clients the best of both worlds? I love the ooey gooey cuteness of sweet hair bows and a matching blanket, but I also know that those family moments with a brand new baby are fleeting and are to be treasured. So I do both. It thrills me to death to capture the interaction between mother and child, and the session with Marley and her sweet mother, Courtney were just so amazing.  Marley was almost 5 weeks old at the time of this session, so I was a tad nervous, but let me tell you, she was an *angel*. I had an awesome time just hanging out and could have taken pictures of this little nugget all day! Congratulations to the Sharpe family!!
