I love all of the colors in this What to Wear Edition. It's interesting and bright! You can't go wrong with a photo shoot wardrobe like this one!

My Brand New Niece {Jacksonville Newborn Photography}
I had the incredible pleasure of photographing my 5 week old niece, Grace. We have long awaited her arrival and are so very glad to have her in our lives. To say we are all in love, is the understatement of the year! I just love being an Aunt, and have the most perfect nieces and nephew. They are such blessings!
Grace's parents are graduates of the University of Florida, and are HUGE football fans. They dubbed her Gracie Gameday, since they arrived home from the hospital on a Saturday just in time for the big game. I see a whole lot of blue and orange in this little cutie's future (and maybe some red and black if I can steal her away for a few hours one day...hehe)!
Gracie loves the camera! Usually babies either sleep through a session, or they are upset by the big black contraption in their face. Not this girl! She was fascinated, which made for some awesome pictures. She looked straight into the lens and even gave me a few grins. From start to finish, she was unfazed by the photo shoot chaos around her, and the wardrobe changes. She was happy and interested...and I loved every second of photographing her.
Crystal and Jesse...thank you so much for trusting me and waiting for me to photograph this sweet little angel. I just LOVE her!
These are the other two babies in Crystal and Jesse's lives...their 10 year old pups, OJ and Angie, who are also loving and relaxed and incredibly well behaved! Sweet dogs!

A Coffeehouse Holiday Session {Stockbridge Holiday Photography)
My first holiday session is in the books! I got to spend some QT with this sweet family at a little gem of a location. We met at HodgePodge Coffeehouse and Gallery in East Atlanta on Moreland Avenue. I have driven past this place a million times and have always been intrigued by the exterior of the building. It has cool, worn brick and huge garage door style windows. When I finally stopped the car and grabbed a mocha one day, I immediately fell in love. The inside is even better than the outside. The space also serves as a gallery for local artists and jewelry makers, so it is unique and interesting and colorful. To top it all off, the owners and employees are happy, polite and so very accommodating. We were all kinds of crazy during this shoot and they didn't even kick us out! The place really is something special!
I love that these are not your everyday Christmas photos. This family is as cool as it comes...so it totally works. Enjoy!
Please, please, please check out HodgePodge Coffeehouse and Gallery. If you're ever in the area, it is certainly worth a visit!

Fall Fun {Stockbridge Family and Childhood Photography}
Last weekend, Kevin and I took the boys to Yule Forest 155 Pumpkin Farm to get our Halloweem pumpkin (that we still haven't carved). We have a tradition of taking fall photos at the pumpkin patch and I could not be more pleased with this year's results. The light was incredible and the colors on the trees were absolutely stunning! Plus, I remembered to hop in some of the shots this year...which never happens! I just love these boys...oh, my heart!
Hayden took the shot of Kevin and I above...not bad! He watches what I do, and has learned over time how to find the light and how to focus my camera. It is so funny to hear him directing us to get a shot. The photo of the boys walking away from us is another tradition. Here are the last 3 years' photos side-by-side...
They have grown so big over the last 3 years, but one this never changes. Hayden takes care of his little brother, and Colton thinks he hung the moon. I pray they always have that relationship...it is such a blessing to watch!
Happy Halloween Everybody! Stay Safe and Eat Lots of Candy!!!
The Patel Family {Roswell Family and Childhood Photography}
I love doing family holiday sessions! This sweet family met me at Barrington Hall in Roswell on a chilly Saturday morning. We had so much fun exploring the grounds and trying to get little R to smile! After some big ornaments, a little bribery and a lot of reverse psychology, we got some great shots.
P Family, thank you for allowing me to spend a morning with you. I wish you all the best in the coming holiday season!
Little H's Fall Portraits {Sandy Springs Childhood Photography}
I grew up with this little cutie's Mommy. I see so much of her in this little girl. She is happy, spunky and looks just like a little baby doll! I so enjoyed our session and hope I get to see her again soon!
Portrait Location: Morgan Falls Overlook Park in Sandy Springs, GA

The Patel Family {Atlanta Family, Childhood and Maternity Photography}
I have been fortunate enough to work with the Patel Family several times over the past year. (see here and here). We originally had scheduled to meet at Piedmont Park, but it turned out to be Atlanta Pride weekend. I am sure those would have been some fun family pics, but we decided to take a more low key route and headed over to Canoe in Vinings. We could not use the restaurant because of a beautiful Indian wedding that was taking place on the grounds. But, there is this FABULOUS bridge right beside the restaurant, so that is where we headed! I must say, the bridge coordinated perfectly with the color pallet they had chosen and it was so quiet. It was an excellent choice (made by my lovely clients) and I think the photos came out beautifully! Patel Family...thank you so much again for choosing me. You are a lovely family and I cannot wait to meet the newest addition!

The White Family {Duluth Family and Childhood Photography}
This is such a precious family! I had the honor of photographing Baby C's newborn portraits 9 month ago (you can check them out here). First of all, it seems like yesterday and I cannot believe how fast time has gone. Second...C has gotten so big and is such a sweet, loving little thing. Big sister was not too keen on being a part of the photo session. But, I think that's all a part of her act. You will notice in the shots below, that she has mastered the art of what Tyra Banks' calls "smizing". She smiles with her eyes. Seriously, the camera LOVES both of these children! Thank you White Family!!!! I had a blast with you and can't wait to work with you again soon!
Shoot Location: McDaniels Farm Park in Duluth, GA

What To Wear {Fall Photo Shoot Wardrobe Inspiration}
Cabernet, Chocolate and Orange...
This sounds like the beginnings of a yummy desert. But today, they are the color inspiration for another Fall edition of What To Wear!!! I love this combo, since it includes some of my very favorite colors. You will find these colors in so many of the trees in the South around the end of October and they make me one happy photographer :) .
If you like to go with a more traditional color pallet for your Fall Portraits, then this would be an excellent choice. It is still very traditional, but you can add some edge to it with great accessories, a fun scarf or a brown leather jacket or boots.

Holiday Portrait Sessions {Henry County Portrait Photography}
I am beyond thrilled to announce this year's Holiday sessions and packages. The location may be the best part. Sugarland Christmas Tree Farm is near and dear to my heart. This is where Kevin and I cut down our first Christmas tree as a married couple. I will never forget that day...it actually snowed as Kevin was sawing away at the tree. Our very first ornaments came from Sugarland's Sugarhaus...the Christmas shop on the property (that also serves free coffee and hot chocolate to customers). While living in Florida, we were forced to buy our trees from Home Depot or Lowes. While our trees were always great, I really missed the "experience" we had at Sugarland. Last Christmas, we took the boys here to choose and cut down our tree. It was so much fun, and we spent well over 2 hours, just soaking up the fun and making memories. We even got to spend some quality time with Santa. Needless to say, The Burtch Family will be lifelong customers of this wonderful family owned and operated business. We LOVE this place!
I want my photography clients to enjoy the same type of family fun experience. So, when I approached Mr. Smith about using his farm as the backdrop for my holiday sessions, I was beyond excited that he said YES!!!! This year, I am offering holiday sessions and packages from November 24th through December 9th. I am open for booking Fridays (evenings), Saturdays (morning and evening) and Sundays (mornings and evenings). I have been given permission to start shooting prior to the farm's working hours on Saturdays and Sundays in order to avoid the crowds. I am offering two packages:
Package #1: $100.00
30 Minutes at Sugarland Christmas Tree Farm
10 Images In An Online Viewing Gallery
10 Images On An Image CD With Printing & Display Rights
Package #2: $135.00
30 Minutes at Sugarland Christmas Tree Farm
10 Images In An Online Viewing Gallery
10 Images On An Image CD With Printing & Display Rights
25 Custom Designed Holiday Cards Using Images From Your Shoot (Envelopes Included)
Please Note: The packages above involve you traveling to Sugarland Christmas Tree Farm in Stockbridge, GA. While this place is as AWESOME as it gets...I do understand that it will be quite a trip for many of my clients. I am willing to go to other locations, but will need to charge an additional $25 for travel and set-up for the shoot. But before you make up your mind, please considering the following reasons to make the trip:
1) A unique farm location/backdrop that you cannot find in the city.
2) It's a family owned business, so the customer service and experience are unmatched.
3) You get to cut down your own tree, and they are reasonably priced. Frankly, they are the best looking and longest lasting trees we've ever had.
4) They have a Christmas Shop (Sugarhaus) that has wonderfully unique decorations at excellent prices.
5) They serve free hot chocolate and coffee for customers.
6) Santa...Need I say more!
Here are samples of the cards I will be offering this year. They are fully customizable to coordinate with your images. Aren't they gorgeous? I just adore the vintage vibe!
There are a limited number of sessions available, and they will go quickly. I am sure you will hear many photographers say this, but it really is our busiest time of year. Really, it's chaos and I love it. But, you will need to act quickly to nail down your family portrait session. Please call (404-368-5680), email (bburtch@angelkissesphotography.com) or Facebook message (www.facebook.com/AngelKissesPhotography) today to book you session!!!!
*****As an added incentive to book ASAP, the first 5 clients to to lock in a spot will receive 25 of these beautiful address labels, that coordinate with the holiday card option.*****
A HUGE THANK YOU TO SUGARLAND CHRISTMAS TREE FARM!!!! PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND VISIT THEIR WEBSITE TO CHECK OUT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
To my lovely clients...I hope to hear from you very soon! Much Love, and God Bless!!!!

Baby Shower Bliss {John's Creek Event Photography}
I had the pleasure of spending Saturday afternoon with Kirti and all of her girlfriends as they celebrated the pending arrival of Baby Ari. This Mommy-To-Be has quite the support group around her, led by one fabulous sister! It is no secret that I adore shoot baby showers and parties. Somehow, I managed to find a career that allows me to spend time with people when they celebrate the happiest moments in life. It is a blessing! This shower was so full of love, laughs, tons of incredible details and sangria. All of the perfect elements for any great party (as far as I'm concerned)!
Kirti ~ Thank you for inviting me to capture this special day for you and your family. I wish you only the best for the remainder of your pregnancy. Kick your feet up and SLEEP NOW!
These are two of my favorite shots from the day...LOVE!
