Getting Ready for the Wedding | Atlanta Wedding Photographer

February 3, 2012
It's been a busy holiday season with family sessions and newborns being welcomed into the world but now that engagement season's peak has finally settled down, it's time to start talking about wedding photos again.

I see many brides walking in and out of my office for interviews about their wedding and one of the questions asked often is about how many hours of photography coverage they will receive. My answer, you have me for the day! For full coverage to really be full coverage, it must include all the happenings on your wedding day. This usually begins at the salon/spa where the bride is getting ready and spending some last minutes bonding with their mom, sisters, bridesmaids, etc. You can almost feel the buzz of electricity in the air...that moment when you will walk down the aisle is really here. All your dreams have become a reality.

These moments are so important, why would you want to have them left out of your album and your memories. Take a look at some of the memories I've captured for my brides and see why you want me and my partner to hang with you ALL DAY LONG! Then...call me to schedule your interview at 404-384-7722.

Atlanta Maternity Photographer, Angel and James, waiting for Lexi

In August I was contacted by LivingSocial.com to see if I would be interested in trying out their services. Like Groupon and other such online voucher deal services, they offer "Deals" to followers for goods and services local to the area in which they live. I thought, why not, plenty of photographers out there are giving this a try, just like restaurants, fitness centers, etc. So, on September 28, my deal starting running. I offered deals for Newborn, Maternity and Lifestyle sessions.

James and Angel bought a Maternity and Newborn session so I get to work with them twice and meet the new little girl they are expecting in October!

When James called to schedule their Maternity/Baby Bump session, Angel was already over 8 months along. Normally these sessions are done in the 7 to 8th month but Angel was still feeling great and moving around just fine.

Like most of my maternity sessions, we start by working outdoors for 1-2 hours before moving to the studio. I love working at Autrey Mill Nature Preserve not just because it's convenient, but as you can see the setting is lovely and it wasn't long before Angel and James were comfortable in front of the camera.

After about 90 minutes at Autrey Mill we headed to the studio for some indoor shots. James had gone shopping and picked up some very pretty pink fabric to drape his lovely wife in. It looked so pretty in the photos.

Lexi was born on October 31 and she's coming in with mom and dad tomorrow for her first photo session. I can't wait to meet her! I've even made a pink crochet had and tutu for her to wear.

Looking for maternity photos? Give me a call at 404-384-7722 for info or to book your session. I also offer a Baby's First Year collection that might be just right for you!

As always, comments are welcome and appreciated.
