Raines Newborn Twins Photo Session in Vinings
As a family photographer, stepping into the home of newborn twins is like embarking on a journey of subtle discovery, where every coo, every yawn, and every tiny movement reveals a glimpse of their distinct personalities.

The Meehan Newborn Photography Session at Candler Park
I recently had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family of four at Candler Park. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from the session, especially given that it was my first outdoor newborn shoot. One of the elements of newborn photography that I love the most is capturing the essence of the home each family has created. Whether a home is full of chaos or calm, it is an integral part of a family's story, reflecting their unique rhythm and life.

Olin’s Newborn Photo Session at Home in Decatur
I photographed this sweet little baby when he was two weeks old, and I can't believe that it has already been two months since he joined us. He already looks so different than he did at first, which is why I love to capture newborns in the first couple of weeks. I think that there is a sweet spot for newborn photos--I like to wait for them to "wake up" a little, but not so long that they no longer look like newborns. I find that to be around two-three weeks old.
