these images were a gift from Rashidi to his wife for her birthday. you've got to love a man who understands the importance of some good family portraits! and i loved being able to grill them about having two little ones nearly 5 years apart as this subject is hitting pretty close to home these days. their verdict... it's awesome! thank you Barnett family for letting me document this time for you, and for easing my mind about our future a wee bit. win win all around!
When I pulled up to the house for this family shoot I'll admit my heart did skip a beat. This sweet family literally live right around the corner from our old apartment in a house that I had drooled over many a time in passing. From that moment on everything about this session just flowed naturally. For being such new first time parents Melissa + Federico were so calm and comfortable in front of my camera. The way they just adore not only Lucia, but also each other, is quite obvious in the images below. And when Lucia's daddy, who was born in Argentina, sung her to sleep in Spanish with her favorite lullaby I was done for! If only folks knew just how often I cry while hiding behind my camera. Such a beautiful family, and I was honored to document them...
all this love, just in time for valentine's day...
Megan + Jaime are part of a group of friends that all happened to move down to atlanta around the same time as we did. It was pretty exciting to find ourselves in a new city surrounded by so many fabulous familiar faces. And when said fabulous faces asked me to come photograph their beautiful squishy new babe I may have squealed a bit. It's no secret... I love the babies! So friends, keep on having them so I can keep on loving on them!
