Expecting London...Atlanta Maternity Photographer

This gorgeous couple has been waiting oh so patiently for me to post their session sneak peaks...thanks so much you guys!!
They were so sweet and so excited for their little one, London, to be born. I just LOVE the name they chose for her...she is going to be a beauty for sure, and I can't wait to meet her. Thanks again for your patience you guys...hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

This first shot is my absolute favorite..but i loved how Margrethe smiled when Taylor was around, she would completely light up! So in love!

little boys....

are my favorite!!! These cousins reminded me so much of my boys, especially the faces they made! :) I have been so distracted trying to wrap things up before i go to NY for the week, that i posted this gallery, without even blogging their sneak peak!! I had such a great time with these 2, i hope you love your images!!

I will be out of town from October 10th until October 17th, but will still be replying to emails and phone calls...just bear with me, as i may not be as quick to reply as usual. Not sure where I'll be connecting to the internet yet, as we are packing a ton of things into one week of vacation... :)

Also, there are only 3 spots remaining for our mini sessions, please contact me if you are interested in more information! :)

Heather & Ryan...expecting. (McDonough, GA maternity photographer)

I had the best time hanging out with Heather and Ryan last week!! They were such a fun and beautiful couple, and so in love....and... going to be the coolest parents, they are naming their baby Cash and he already listens to Bob Marley....destined to be a pretty hip kid. :) I have to say, of all of the subjects I get to photograph, maternity & newborn sessions are my most favorite. I love the intimacy between a mother and father to be, and capturing the love they already have for their newborn to be. And then to document a couple evolving into a family...it truly is the greatest gift, and i am so glad this is what i get to do as a career.

So, apparently i get sappy when i work until 2 a.m.....how about i post some photos???
We started out in their home for the first half of the session, and then finished up in this open field just down the road! i have a ton of favorites, here are a few that i love:







i liked how the sun kind of made this image look like an old polaroid camera shot:

Holiday Session Information!!

I'm offering something a little different this year, due to the high demand for fall sessions and holiday cards! I will be scheduling fall mini-sessions! Whether you need to "freshen up" last year's photos, or to get that great family shot for your holiday cards...this is a great deal for you!
You have the option to book either a children or family portrait session. I am offering only one date for now, but if it fills quickly, I am considering an additional date.
Session time slots are as follows: 3:15, 4:00, 4:45, 5:30 and 6:15.
*times may be adjusted for family sessions.

Information:

What is a mini session? it is a quick portrait session of your children or family!

What is included? Your session fee, a cd of 10 fully edited images (high resolution for personal printing and gift giving!) and a set of 50 custom designed holiday cards. This is an incredible savings....

How much? $450 for up to 2 children, $25 more for each additional child, or $500 for a whole family session (family sessions will last 45 minutes and include 15 images on cd)


Please email me at brooke@paperlilyphotography.com if you have any additional questions.
***Full payment is due at time of booking. Time slots are available on a first come first served basis.

Phalla & Champ: The Wedding (Atlanta Destination Photography)

Christy and I could not have dreamed up a more perfect wedding day...gorgeous & madly in love couple, sandy beaches, crashing waves, amazingly fun family and friends....! We are so honored to have spent the whole weekend with everyone, capturing everything from the rehearsal in bathing suits and family dogs running around the beach, dancing all night at a reception on the water, to the day after all the fun, shooting some romantic couple shots (while the dj swam in the ocean..don't ask!) I feel like I'm rambling, so i'll cut to the point...we love you guys, we had a blast, and we wish you a life of love and happiness!!

xoxo
Christy & Brooke

p.s. I will announce it on the blog when it's ready, but this will be our featured wedding for our new website, so i can't reveal too many images...!! It is going to be sooo awesome!! Enjoy!!






While the girls were getting pretty...the boys were "getting down!" They had a dance off at the reception, and they were very serious about their rehearsal...and we were more than happy to watch them practice..whoo hoo!




This would be the 1st time I cried at the wedding...we cried no less than 4 times throughout the day...this is where Champ vowed to be a loving father to Phalla's girls...it was the sweetest ceremony...tearing up just thinking about it....

Quick post and announcement....and a sweet baby!

Hi there!! Christy and i will both be out of town for the weekend, shooting a destination wedding in Gulf Shores!! We are sooo excited, so check back to see some awesome wedding shots soon!! We will be back in the office Monday morning to return emails and phone calls.....I will also be announcing dates and locations for my fall mini-sessions when we get back!

In the meantime, here are a few shots from a recent newborn session with miss Katie Paige...she was the cutest little thing, and has the best big brother and sister! Enjoy!!

Sweet Kyra...Atlanta Newborn Photographer

I can not stress enough how much I ADORE newborns! This sweet little girl was perfection...she slept for 2 hours straight as i smooshed, bent and wrapped her up to my hearts content. Her big brother and sister were so adorable too, and they were so great with their new baby sister...i LOVE this sibling shot!!

I've got to cut this short, got to get Noah to bed, he's my night owl....enjoy!!

brothers and sisters....(mcdonough children's photographer)

It's not very often that i get to photograph siblings, so this was a treat!! I've been looking forward to this session since mom booked back in May...i already knew that they were adorable, and such a pleasure to work with from the first time i photographed them...If you remember the balloon silhouette shot, these 2 are the stars of that image. I'm sure you will see more of their cute little faces all over my website in the next couple of weeks! :)
Seriously, i know that i say this alot, but i could NOT choose a favorite. So, you get to see a lot of pics this post. There are so many more great shots, and like 3 more outfit changes! can't wait for mom to see them all!!

Thanks for being patient, Amy!! hope you love them! :)
