Shooting Star Photography

I wrapped up my whirlwind weekend in Atlanta with a shoot today with Sarah Cameron and her little brother, Jackson - all the way from Charlotte, North Carolina!

These two are too fun and full of energy. We ran around the front yard and played at the park too! I miss you guys and hope to see you again soon!

This one just cracks me up, because being a big sister to a brother, I’ve had my share of moments like this! Just know that’s not a fake smile, that’s a growling, about to burst-into-laughter-because-I’m-being-tickled-by-someone-smaller-than-me, face!

9 day old Grace is such a special and beautiful baby girl! Her mommy and I are very close friends and I couldn’t have been more happy to take her pictures today!

Grace, however, was so excited about our photoshoot, that she didn’t want to miss anything and refused to sleep through it! Lucky for us, she caught a few winks right before her grandparents from Florida showed up to meet her for the first time! Congratulations, Matt and Liz. I love this baby girl and she’s so gorgeous. I look forward to watching her grow and taking many, many more pictures of sweet baby Grace!

I’m having such a fun time with her at 15 months old…

Boys have the best eyelashes… Especially this one!

I love him!

These adorable brothers are so handsome! Little brother, Braylen, was a little tired today and wasn’t sure he wanted his picture taken, but we managed to find quite a few smiles anyway! Brandon, who’s going to be three soon, was a natural in front of the camera.

Have you seen an announcement that you love? Have you got an idea in your head for the perfect card or announcement? I offer design services and can make your idea happen!

I offer all types (flat, folded, trifold, etc) and sizes of cards - press printed, or photo cards. Prices vary by size and type. Inquire for more details. I require a small design fee, but your price per card is much cheaper than if you use a large print house, so it’s a better value for you in the end!

Here’s an announcement I created from a recent newborn session. It is a press-printed 2 sided 5×7 card. All announcements and cards come with white envelopes.

Doesn’t she look like she should be on the cover of a magazine?

I’m wrapping up her proofs and loved these 2 in black and white also.

Heston is the cutest red-headed, 7 month old boy, ever! He’s already sitting and crawling, so I’d say he’s pretty advanced too. I met him and his parents at their gorgeous home on a dreary, dark day. I love these pictures because of the family interaction and Heston’s sweet smiles, but I will want to go back and take some of him when we can get more light or be outside - so hopefully we’ll be seeing more of Heston soon!

I adore baby thighs - these are especially fantastic. They won’t look like this much longer when he starts crawling and walking up a storm!

Beautiful Mary Ellis is 6 months old!

I took her 3 month pictures, and we plan to do 9 months and 12 months also! It’s so fun to watch her grow. She has the most gorgeous blue eyes- I had to show you all these in color! I didn’t touch them, she got these baby blues from her mommy.

Miss M.E. is now sitting fairly well for 6 months old, and she’s cooing up a storm. She’s such a sweet baby!
