6 week sweet

I had such a wonderful time photographing this sweet boy and his Mom and Dad.  At six weeks old he was a little old for newborn shots, but I think we got some great shots all the same!  Check out how beautiful this new little family is…

Look at those sweet blue eyes!

July 20, 2010 - 8:09 pm Kristin - Awww!!! These are so great, but not surprising when you put the three of them together. :) John is such a handsome little man!!

July 20, 2010 - 9:10 pm Maggie - What a beautiful family. Baby John is precious. Congratulations Bryan and Katherine. Maggie (Kristin's Mom)

one year down

Little B turned one and we just had to capture each little tooth and hair for Mom and Dad to remember exactly how he looks at 12 months old!  He is such a sweet little boy and on the move already!

He looks like such a little man here!

happy monday

Just wanted to give a little update and let everyone know I am still with child.  No surprises yet!  Thank you all for your sweet emails though!  I was suppose to have a one year session this morning, when the poor little babe was attacked by mosquitos this weekend, so we rescheduled to later in the week, but I was able to schedule another 6 month session in her place!  So, I thought I would share the sweet little guy I was lucky enough to hang out with!  Meet Cullen, oh isn’t he sweet!  I hope he makes your Monday as bright as mine!

Well, hello blue eyes!

Cullen

Classic…love a naked baby!

5 months of smiles

Oh goodness!  I have to admit, I think I have a crush on this little guy.  He was all smiles when I got  to his house and quite the trooper as I was impeding on his nap time :)  5 months old can be tricky to photograph as usually they aren’t sitting up, but Charlie was full of expressions to make up for it!  Oh he was such a joy {as were Mom and Dad}.

See what I mean?  Oh those cheeks!

Charlie

Little angel boy, I think he can do no wrong

Charlie

Sweet smile

Charlie

Look at that grin he is flashing me…he was a little bit of a flirt :)

Loving some Mom and Dad time!

Not too happy with me here, but I had to get those sweet dark lashes

Mom snapped a behind the scenes shot of me and I just had to post it!  He wasn’t thrilled with the hardwood, but look at what we captured…

Charlies Shoot behind the scenes

Here it is!   I think it’s super sweet!

Charlie

Thanks Mom and Dad for letting me capture you sweet Charlie!  He was a doll and you both were wonderful.  I hope these pictures will always remind you of this special time.

much love,

jenny

July 7, 2010 - 12:58 pm Alyssa - Jenny, these are GREAT! We cannot wait to see the rest! Thank you so much for capturing our little guy, you did an amazing job! PS I think Charlie was flirting with Charlotte via you! xo Alyssa, Dan, & Charlie

July 8, 2010 - 2:23 am Rachael - Love these Jenny! Oh he is just the sweetest little man! I wish I would have known you when my guy was 5 months! Oh well, looking forward to his 9 month session!

July 12, 2010 - 11:35 pm Erin - As usual, you are AWESOME. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Charlie (and his mom & dad) are super cool too. Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing!

3 week surprise

This little guy gave his parents quite the surprise when he decided to enter the world 3 weeks early!  I guess he was just ready for more room :)  He was so sweet and sleepy for our session that I could have taken him home with me.

Oh the life of a newborn…

Harrison

Such a beautiful little family!

Harrison

I know I shared this one already, but it was worthy of another post :)

the nursery at a glimpse

I must start out by saying I have the BEST clients in the world!  Your constant emails checking up on me are beyond amazing.  Your advice is priceless as well as your encouraging words.  I just wanted to take a second to thank you all from the bottom of my heart!  For those of you that don’t know what I am talking about well, let me fill you in.  We are expecting a sweet baby girl in a couple of weeks!  I am due the end of this month and couldn’t be more thrilled.  I have been getting a bunch of emails lately asking me to post pictures of her sweet nursery.  A couple things to know about the nursery.  One, it was done on the cheap!  If you know me at all you know I am deal hunter.  I think it’s my second passion, aside from photography.  I also love to support other small businesses when possible, so I have put links to where I purchased some of the items.

It still isn’t finished, but here is little glimpse of her first home.

I frequently browse Etsy for props for my shoots and stumbled upon this one day.  I purchased it from the lovely ladies at Next Door to Heaven.

I had the baby bedding made from a wonderful family friend…it turned out better than I could have ever imagined.  The crib was purchased from New Baby Products, which I highly recommend if you live in the Atlanta area.

nursery

I just love her sweet, simple mobile.  I found this brand mobile at B Braithwaite.  If you haven’t been there go…now!

nursery

The dresser and bedding are by far my favorite part of the room.  We already had this dresser sitting in our guest room so we decided to save money and use it.   The A-MAZING Kristen at KFD Designs hand painted {yes, hand painted} her dresser and ALL her knobs.  She even painted the knobs to match the baby bedding!

Found this gem on Craigs List for $40.  I had it reupholsted by Floyd at Seven Queens Upholstery.  They did a fabulous job!

nursery

I actually already had this crate and decided it would be perfect for her toys and books.  I snagged this one at Scotts Antique {to which I am addicted}.

July 5, 2010 - 11:06 pm Laura Coonan - Beautiful nursery, Jenny! Best wishes to you and your hubby as the big day approaches!

4 month old angel face

Oh she is such a little angel face!  That dark hair and those sweet eyes.  Little Evie was just as sweet as she could be at our session.  I think she really enjoyed being in front of the camera and Mom and Dad you weren’t too bad yourselves!  Check out this model family!

Just look at her!

June 27, 2010 - 7:40 pm Melissa - I love your blog. Your work is amazing and your right this little girl does have an angel face. I will be calling you tomorrow!

maternity leave

As some of you may know I am expecting a sweet baby girl the end of July.  After going back and forth I have decided not to do any sessions in August and take a little bit of maternity leave.  I will still be posting on the blog {as I will have a built in baby model} and checking emails daily, so keep stopping by to see what’s new over here!  Because of this my September is already starting to book up rather quickly as September starts the rush of the holiday season!  If you are interested in setting up fall sessions please email me now so we can get you on the books!

I know I am very behind on blogging and hope to get caught up today, but in the mean time here is a 6 day old sweetie I shot yesterday!  Hope you enjoy!

Harrison

much love,

jenny
