MJ's Having A Baby {Atlanta Maternity Photography}

This beautiful Mommy-to-Be is a great friend of mine from high school. I just adore her! When she announced that she was having a little girl I was so excited! This baby is going to have the coolest Mommy and will be the best dressed baby on the block, I'm sure! I was honored when she asked me to do her maternity portraits, and so thrilled to be able to work with a creative mind on the shoot. MJ chose the Spruill Gallery in Atlanta for the shoot. This place was unbelievable...seriously a dream location for a shoot! This historic home in the city was converted into an art gallery, and is surrounded by quirky, modern sculptures that contrast nicely with the traditional Victorian style of the building itself. Needless to say, it was love at first site for me! MJ, I hope you love your portraits. I wish only the best for you and your little girl!

First Shot of the Day

This image came straight out of the camera. That was a giant wind chime and this is my version of the baby-bump-peeking-past-a-wall shot.


I love making personalized items to use in shoots. It's so much fun getting to do a craft project every now and then!

This sign, painted on a barn outside of the gallery, is what drew MJ to this location. I cannot tell you how many times I told myself and my babies this very thing while I was pregnant. I loved it!

MJ really wanted to have pictures made at the gallery, but loved the idea of the tall grasses and fields as well. Who knew you could find both in the same parking lot in the middle of Atlanta!
