Strike a Pose (Alpharetta Children's Photography)

I was so happy I was asked to take pictures of  three year old Mia in the beautiful dress she wore in a wedding. She loved her dress and was more than willing to strike a few poses showing it off!






I love the thoughtful look in the black and white I caught in between the smiles...



We found a corner in the back of their yard to set up a chair - a little harder to strike a pose when sitting, but she still worked it :).



What's fun and challenging shooting outdoors is how the lighting can change, but when the sun started showing through the leaves, the natural background of their yard became even more beautiful.






She may quickly outgrow her dress, but I'm so glad her family will always have these images.

September Seven (Alpharetta Family Photography)

September is usually a bit of a crazy month for those starting back to school and trying to adjust to those early mornings and after-school commitments.  The entire month was a bit of a blur for me, but it's time I catch up a bit! :)

This family is one of the reasons why I love photography- meeting some great people (and burning those extra calories running after their kids- ok, maybe just the 3, 2, and 1 year olds. :).

We took the posed portraits when I first got there- a small miracle indeed- all the kids looking in my direction and a split second of the youngest sisters holding hands!



I love the dad and daughters shots- it reminds me of how I wish I had more of my two sisters with my dad growing up.  I think this is when the candy bribes started...



Now on to the little ones' favorite part of the day- bubbles and running around, because how long can you expect any kid to stay still and posed? (answer 2 milliseconds).  Check out the perfect bubble pop on this little guy's head!



A quick break from the action for one family shot- notice the little ones' sippies/snacks made it in at this point as well:



There were no bribes needed for these beautiful sisters.



I loved how the big sisters were with their little sisters- so sweet!





Raisins and sippy, but they were all looking my way- yey!



Saying goodbye until next time!
