Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.  -Bill Cosby

I met this mama just weeks before she gave birth to her son, and we have had dinner together with three other amazing ladies just about every month since then. I liked her immediately because her laugh is contagious and she always calls it as she sees it, no matter how (in)appropriate. We call our dates “Moms’ Night Out,” so while I hear a lot about what is going on with her family, I rarely get to spend time with her AND her family. This was a special treat for me to get to see and photograph her with the men in her life.

Beautiful light + beautiful family = one happy photographer!

Next year this monkey will be at school Mondays through Friday. But for now, she still allows me some Mommy Days when we go to story time, run errands, and do some location scouting.

Here she is, on a cold rainy day a couple of weeks ago, helping me scope out the site of this year’s mini sessions.

It was almost a year ago that I had the privilege of photographing this baby boy as a newborn, so I was very happy to get to have the whole family back again for a mini session.

It’s the busy season for me and my fellow family photographers. The weather is more comfortable for outdoor sessions, and the organized ones among us have already gotten their family portraits taken for cards and presents! (Confession: I do not YET belong to that group.) Here are just some of the happy clans I’ve been lucky enough to work with lately.

I heard some folks at the grocery store grumbling about the Christmas items already on display. I used to think it was silly, too. But the busier life gets, the more I understand. If I don’t start early, it may not happen! Even though I’ve been planning for this season for months, I still am shocked to realize that Thanksgiving is in TEN days!

And, are you sitting down? Christmas is 41 short days away!

Here are few highlights from one of my recent Atlanta Mini Sessions.
