Catching Up With Chandler - Atlanta Baby Photographer

I was so tickled to get to visit 6 month old Mr. Chandler and his mama and daddy the other day. Such a big change since the last time I was there when Chandler was first born. I am documenting this yummy guy's first year for them and couldn't be more thrilled about it. I feel like an old family friend with Cynthia and Jay. They are both so open, easy going and into their sweet boy that they are a photographer's dream. This session was a blast. More to come later as I'm just beginning to edit and couldn't wait to post a couple from our day. These were just making me smile today. Chandler is bright eyed, happy and so adored by his mama and daddy. Life is all good for this little dude!

Girlie Session....

My time hanging out with Emily and Amanda was all sugar and spice. We had the best afternoon running around the house, playing in their rooms, twirling around outside and even swimming for a bit in the pool. They were giggly, funny, silly and sweet. Their mama is so cool and  just let us take over......she made dinner while I played with the girls. I love how their session turned out. Here are a few images.......

Cory - 2010 Senior Rep

I am thrilled to introduce to you the lovely, delightful and gorgeous Cory. She is one of Sing Photography's senior reps for 2010. As a photographer, I am just smitten over Cory because of her fun personality and stunning presence. Besides being crazy over her awesome self, I just love her personally too. She is older sis to one of Jack's best buds and babysits my boys often. They totally light up when I tell them Cory is coming over and I don't have to tell you how priceless that is. So.....Cory and I had such a great time driving around, shooting, changing clothes and yapping the other day. I don't think there is a bad shot in the batch. I'll quit blabbing here and get to the photos. Seniors and parents of seniors give me a call or send an email if you would like to get shot Sing Photography style for your senior portraits. 

Very first shot of the day. Nailed it. Boom. Boom. Pow.

I heart this shot below....

Love these below too. Cory is such a talented artist....

Baby Alexa

I was invited to the Mader home recently to meet Dave and Becca's precious new bundle.......the magnificent Alexa Brooks. And let me tell ya......Alexa is one blessed baby. The minute I walked into the door, I was struck by how loving, relaxed and truly happy this family is. I love how their session turned out. How Dave and Becca are just soaking up this sweet time getting to know their new daughter. Here are a few photos from their shoot. Thank you again Mader family! See you soon.......

Becca is an awesome interior designer. I just love all the detail in Alexa's room.....

Once Miss Alexa was asleep, I got the gorgeous Becca and Dave together for a minute of alone time.....

The Jordans

Ahhh! The Jordan family! What to say about these guys? Seems I'm on a roll with photographing close friends with the last couple of sessions. Must be the weather! This is such a busy time of year, and one of my favorites to photograph in! I love the lighting and am all about the green grass lately. So, I've mentioned here before how honored I am to photograph my friend's families. Because they do have their choice in photographers. Anywho, had a blast hanging out with Steph, Mark, Brody and Tatum a couple of weeks ago. I love these people to bits. Steph saves my butt at least once a week, I don't know what I would do without her. The only thing I can't stand are the geographical issues we have. They are in Duluth. Us Marietta. Could be a good thing though. Steph and I would surely be in trouble if we were any closer. We talk often though about building a Jordan/Hunsinger compound and having kids just running in and out of houses, raiding refrigerators and all kinds of fun. And Mark is the perfect partner in crime for buying all things Mac. He would be very good about telling me, "yes, Amy, you really do need that." Ok, so on with the session. We hung out in downtown Duluth for these and I love how their shoot turned out. Enjoy..........

First up. The whole fam damily......

Brody is the sweetest boy ever....

You guys met Tatum a few posts ago after she had some 18 month photos taken. I could eat this child.....

Tatum on the run.....

Brody is strong.....

Below. Yum.

And we'll finish it off with some Jordan stew for ya.....

Diggin'......

More from this shoot that I am a bit behind on editing later. But, diggin' the love in these 2 portraits....

 

Carly & Emily

Photographing Miss Carly & Emily has me wondering how the time is flying by so fast. These 2 beautiful girlies are my nieces and I see them often. But, sitting down to edit their photos is really stopping time for a bit. I sound like the old relative at a family reunion saying,"they're getting sooooo big!!!!" Their mama and I used to crack up laughing and mock the relatives that would say that line at the family reunions. We don't do things like that at all anymore. We are way mature now. Right Jenny? 

So, Carly, Emily and my camera hung out for a bit a few weekends ago. I adore these photos as much as I adore these 2. For the photographer readers, we used some scrumptious warm late afternoon backlighting with a muslin reflector.

Carly Bear...

Scrappy Emily.....

Nate the Great!

I had such a great time spending the day with Nate and fam! Read again here about the cool stuff we are up to with Nate and his family on May 3rd. I am really excited about the fun offer we have put together at Sing Photography for your help in the Autism Speaks walk. Now is the perfect time to sign up for a photo session. Be sure to send this on to all of your photography loving friends as well. I am ready to be totally booked with these sessions and happily gifting to you all some gorgeous custom storyboards!!!! 

And on with our day! I am always so tickled when friends choose me as their photographer. Makes me happy and a bit nervous as well. Because I want to go into the session open minded and ready to capture my subjects as they are, and I don't want any ideas I have to get in the way. I love to just go with the flow. So, anyway, I hung out with Tina, Nate and Sam to capture them a they are right now. Nate is loving life and super busy. We read books, ate pancakes, played Candyland, made a tent, took a bath, I could go on and on. We are making a 10x10 custom album from this session. A Day in the Life of Nate. At the age of 3 1/2. I am currently designing the album and will definitely show you here when it arrives. Can't wait to get it in my hands! Enjoy a small peek into our day......

Nate is such a happy dude! In the second shot, we were playing peek a boo.....

I wub this series below so much.......

And below, Nate was caught in the act. Tina said everyone had been wondering how books were making their way off the shelves after bedtime. Well, mystery solved. Nate pulls the bottom shelf out, climbs on the dresser, gets back on the bottom shelf and jumps across to the bed. Pretty sneaky.....

Cuddling with mommy and daddy......

Alicia + Dorian = Engaged!

Oh man! Did I have an amazing time with the gorgeous Alicia and Dorian! We got together recently for an engagement shoot lovefest and they really brought it. Alicia and I hit it off with a bang from our initial emails and phone conversations. I love that! Alicia and Dorian are such an easy going, graceful and unpretentious pair. Their wedding is really going to be such an intimate and stylish celebration. I am looking forward to photographing it and am honored to be capturing their big day in September. Really hard to pick for the blog here. I am just closing my eyes and choosing....... Enjoy!

So, Dorian is a really creative and talented videographer. He had some amazing input and ideas for shots and I loved his thinking. But, that also means he is used to being on the other side of the lens. Alicia and I had all kinds of fun getting him to warm up for the camera. And he really did......

I just happened to love these shoes Alicia had on. And they were a gift from her mom.....

Alicia will be such an amazing bride. My job will be easy.....

The Incredible Beck Family

Aaahhh, the Beck family! What to say about these 3 that their photos can't already tell you??? We met up on the most lovely spring morning for our session together. They showed up ready to have fun and up for anything. So, pretty much how they show up every day in their lives. There was all kinds of connecting and trust going on in our session. I came away renewed and refreshed just by hanging out with them. Thank you Wendy, Mike and Devin for spending your morning with me. Hope you love your portraits as much as I do. Here are a few for now...the rest will be ready soon......

Devin has to be the coolest almost 6 year old I know. And really handsome too. And full of personality. And very expressive......

I don't think I've ever mentioned it here, but I had been on brick wall hiatus. I decided to bring the brick wall out of retirement because the Becks looked so darned great in front of it......

Wendy's name for Mike is "tasty". This is what I got when I called Mike "tasty"......

Wendy is just as gorgeous in person as she is in her photos. On the inside too. I wanna be like Wendy when I grow up. She teared up when I was photographing Devin. You get extra bonus points from me if you are so caught up in the moment you tear up during our session. 

I love photographing Devin. He loves the inside of my lens.....

Then he and I hung out and talked Legos for a while. And it was a pretty serious discussion......

They still got it.....
