Shooting Star Photography

Press printed albums are one of my favorite things to design for clients, and they are a wonderful way to preserve and display the proofs from your session!

Here is a recent album I put together for a family who has had 3 sessions with me (two of which were newborn sessions!!) in the past year. I wanted to give you a glimpse into their album so you can fall in love with the idea of albums too!

Albums come in 3 different sizes - 10×10″, 8×8″, and 5×5″. The covers can be a custom cover, as shown here, or cloth or leather (different colors to choose from). Typical albums have 20 sides (10 pages) but can have as few as 10 or as many as 50 sides. This album has 20 sides.

Take a look-

There are lots of different page layouts with customizable color schemes. I have other templates available too that are geared more specifically toward newborns or toddlers.

I adore the thick, lay-flat, hinged pages-

I also love it when an image spans pages!

I can tell that if you made it this far, you love them now too

…she doesn’t really like to cooperate for my camera very often!  But I still think she looked adorable in this outfit and tiara :). I will have this available for use for girls ages 2-3 if anyone is interested in having their daughter photographed in it!

I have never seen a newborn as strong as Reese.  She literally held her head up, inched/crawled, turned her her head multiple times, and tried to roll over at least 3 times - and she’s only 7 days old today!!

See what I mean?

But when she wasn’t acting like a 2-3 month old, she was such a gorgeous and perfect little newborn…

Little Miss Briley is one year old today! She’s such a pretty girl and has the most wonderful family. Happy 1st Birthday Briley!

Beautiful red-head, Katherine Linden, who will be known as Linden (such an awesome name, huh?), was such an easy newborn to photograph. I don’t know what it is about second children, but they just kind of ease into the world and don’t make much of a fuss when they are hanging out. Of course Linden did have a little drama - she came home from the hospital just hours before our shoot. She had somehow gotten a virus that caused a fever which the doctors were concerned about.

By the time I met her, she was as good as new and as perfect as can be!

I love flakey-skinned newborns. Nothing says, “I’ve been waiting to meet you for 9 months by sitting in water” like this

Sawyer is so full of personality and we had such a fun time playing at the park, I think we all forgot that we were there to take his 3 year pictures!

I hope you have a happy birthday this week Sawyer!

Here’s what I love about these 2 pictures - Natalie’s cute chubby cheeks, big blue eyes, awesome dress and the cool textured pink wall.  What do you think internet?

I’m excited and proud to announce that I was selected to be a member of a wonderful organization called Pictures of Hope. For more information, click the link above. If you are a medical professional or parent with contacts in the local NICUs, I would love to reach out to you to get information to you about this program! I am the first member in the state of Alabama, so I have some leg work ahead of me to get the word out that this FREE service is available to families with babies in the NICU.  Any and all help would be appreciated!

I will post real sneak peeks later this week, but for now, check out what I did this past weekend. It was a busy one!

As soon as I got to Atlanta I met up with the fabulous Jody of Jodylynn Photography and her family for lunch.

Then it was off to Grace’s christening-

Followed by a reception and and a quick session with Grace and her family-

Yesterday was jam-packed. I began the morning with Natalie-

MJ-

and Naim-

Then it was off to baby Linden and big sister Siler’s house for newborn pictures. Linden had been in the hospital for a few days with a fever, but luckily made it home and was feeling great in time for our session!

I wrapped up the weekend with Sawyer! He will turn 3 in two weeks. We had a blast at the park-

Whew, that wears me out to think about it all over again, but it sure was fun! Stay tuned for more this week…
