The only cure for this brutal August heat!
I took this picture Saturday morning during a run in the torrential rain. I had been bumming out hard (still kind of am tbh) because I was originally supposed to be in NY celebrating my nephew’s high school graduation... but sometimes things just don’t work out like you hope. So this is my reminder to me. Be bummed. Feel the feels. The sadness of missing family so hard, and the joy of cool rain on your skin can be present at the same time. It’s ok. It’ll be ok. Just keep moving.
We took this crew to see @kidzbop last night. They’ve pretty much all known each other from birth and it’s incredible getting to watch them all grow up together. #vegankidcrew
Been here for shakes twice this week and we ain’t mad about it!
Photographing first time mamas feels extra special to me. I remember that transition so well. The good, the hard. It’s almost a second birth, to birth the mother that lives inside you. And witnessing a friend walking into that period of life is such an honor. Heidi has photographed our kids a few times and it’s so nice to be able to switch sides. Thank you for trusting me with this💛
It’s generally a rule for family photographers that you don’t put your camera away until you’re literally driving away from the shoot. At one of my last sessions I was glad to adhere to that rule. It had started to rain while I was in their home and just as I was about to leave, big sister here snagged her stinking cute umbrella and asked to walk me out. She also asked if I could join their family. Both questions killed my insides💛😭💛 #ilovethisjob #atlantafamilyphotographer #thefamilynarrative
Gotta watch your beverages around this one. She’ll steal your bubble water any chance she gets and look you straight in the eye when you catch her.
Some days they fight like siblings, but tonight they played like buds💛 #ollieandclementineforalways
Seemingly out of nowhere, Slothie has become a very important friend in Clementine’s life. Tucked in the crook of her arm much of the day, a faithful dress up friend, and most importantly, vital to a good night sleep!
She was quiet just a leeeeetle bit too long and became one with her sister’s lipstick.
It should come as no surprise that a second after this photo she whipped that hose around and sprayed me in the face. Then laughed. Classic Clem.
This summer will go down as the one where she finally conquered her fear of that slide in the background!
2.5 weeks ago I decided to run the Peachtree Road Race after it became clear that Evan (who was registered to run it) wouldn’t be able to do it with his broken wrist. I’ve never done any more running then chasing kiddos around, but I started waking up every day at 6am to train, and do my best to not injure everything during this race. Welp, I just completed my very first 10k... and my first race ever! It was amazing! I smiled the entire time. And the enneagram 4/empath in me even cried from happiness a few times too. Humans can be so incredible💛💛💛 thank you @xveganx for being the most supportive husband ever, and @mattxmiller for being the best coach around🥳
We had family in town for a few days and our little ladies are missing their cousins something fierce today💛💛💛
To this guy. I knew when I married him that he was the very best thing to come into my life, and I had a sense he would be that for whatever family we might build. He’s so much more then I ever could have hoped for. Not because he’s absolutely perfect, but because he always wants to try to be better, try harder, learn more. You’re the best partner in this parenting gig and we’re so very grateful to do this ride together. Happy Father’s Day💛💛💛
Yesterday, after slime making got a bit out of hand and we realized she’s still small enough to be tossed into the kitchen sink for a quick bath. #bliss
A few weeks ago I photographed this little man’s mama while he was still cozied up inside. Yesterday I got to snuggle and photograph him just two days after he made his way out into the earth. This job has many perks, but being with families in these huge life moments is easily top of the list!
It was a tie dye party kinda day. Clem’s excitement for her tie dye socks, just like the big girls, was beyond cute. Keep the summer goodness coming!💛 #pennyandstellaforever
Also... this kid crew pic rules so hard. They’re so freaking lucky to have each other💛 #atlcampingcrew
Another #atlcampingcrew trip under our belts. Days full of swimming, kids adventuring, sharing meals, s’mores, campfire hangouts, and hoping the kids sleep all night. It’s the greatest way to kick off summer each year and there’s no other group we’d rather do it with! 📷: @mattxmiller
