It is a fabulous time of year for family photos! Cool morning welcome the sun and breezy afternoons cool off a hot afternoon. I personally also love having photos done when there are still flowers and green leaves on the trees. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful new family and capturing some sweet images at the park.

Family portraits with family pets are my favorite. I know that sometimes it feels like a lot just getting the kids out the door, but I promise the images and memories are priceless!

Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about booking your family photo session! alana (at) abjphoto (dot) com.

Happy Fall y’all!

This year has brought many firsts, and I am so excited for this amazing power couple to welcome their first child! Brandi and Cody are the sweetest, most genuine couple. I am so thrilled they trusted me with this session and I was extra excited to see the photos published in their exclusive announcement with People!

The Runnels family is an important legacy to the pro wrestling world, and I know I share the JOY of their fans when I say CONGRATULATIONS!

The Fall is the most amazing time in the South, full of warmth and color. I know that there is a huge draw during this time for Holiday cards – it is also such a wonderful time because the weather is simply amazing for photos! We are learning so much around my home during these covid-times, and one main point is to enjoy the outdoors even more than we have before. Pace slows and we are able to appreciate the trees, birds and sky more! I think we also have come to appreciate HOME more and specifically for me and these sessions, hometown, a little more. I am so thankful for the friends, neighbors and local families who have chosen me to capture their family during this season.

One of my favorite comments when doing a series of family photo sessions the other weekend was, “oh, and we brought the dogs!” I absolutely love that. They are such a part of our daily lives and families, so why not!?!? Not to mention these kiddos and puppies are dear friends, so that makes it that much sweeter!

I am going to brag a minute and just say this brother sister duo take the best sibling photos during our sessions. If I could share all of them I would!

My Holiday season sessions are completely booked y’all! If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to contact me about this spring. It is a great season for family, newborn, or maternity photos. And, I’d love to get you booked for next year! Just remember I book up fast once summer comes to a close. And, a special thank you!!!!!!! To all of my lovely clients, who come back year after year. It is a total JOY to watch your families grow, meet new puppies, and celebrate a new year with you!

Family Portraits Roswell Ga | Gutke Family

My first Throwback Thursday post is from May 2018 when I had the chance to do a family portrait session for our neighbors here in Roswell. Our parks are beautiful here most of the year, very green and lush, great locations for portraits. I know many of these images were used for Father’s Day gifts!

Something I love is including elements that really showcase time and place within the photos. Here we have a beloved stuffed animal or “Lovie” who helped us all throughout the session. I know they show up in home photos, but it is special to use Lovies, blankets, and other items that are special to kids throughout the session.

I know it is easy to make a session about the kids or your pets, but I always try to grab a few images of the parents together!

I dare you not to giggle along with this sweet girl…

The age between 1 and 2 is pure magic, all the giggles and funny toddler antics. Also, all the sweet love and melt your heart kisses. So thankful to showcase sessions that I hope my clients will love for the rest of their lives!

Atlanta Maternity Portraits with Pets | Alexander Family

Alana — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 03:39:51 +0000

This past weekend I had the opportunity to meet my clients down at Piedmont Park in Atlanta for maternity portraits. And as an added bonus they brought their sweet doggies! It was so fun to capture some images for this family before they add a baby girl later this year.

So many photographers turn away clients when they mention adding dogs into the photos because they are not “pet photographers”. My dogs have always been so important and true members of our family, so it is my JOY to have these sessions! I totally encourage you to always add your pets when you can…they may help you relax during the session, and having them in photos during this season of life will be great memories down the road.

For more information on Maternity or Pet Photography sessions please contact me today! And, special thanks to Bernie and Finn for the extra love during this fun photo session! (Your parents were pretty great too!)

I am dusting off the cobwebs today! My poor blog has been sitting here collecting dust as I have focused most of my time and energy around raising our two kids. Somewhere along the way posting my photography sessions became less and less of a priority and spending more face to face time with the kids took over. Ok to be honest, it is not like I really gave myself a choice, I happily turned over my time to these precious kiddos!

Now at 4.5 and 2.5 I am able to sneak back over here and post some of the beautiful families, pets and precious newborns that I have had the honor to continue photographing. I am so thankful for the many clients who have allowed me into their homes year after year. I have really enjoyed watching them marry, add pets into their family sessions around Christmas, and then allow me to capture images of their sweet babies after they welcomed them home.

This past November, somewhere between Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, and my usual stacked weekends of photo sessions, my sister helped me take our Christmas card photo! I wanted to share them here for those who have been following my family as it has grown. My-my, how they have already changed!!

This Mama really should get her camera out more while hanging with the fam, but I am just like you…portrait-mode on my iPhone will have to do during this busy season of life!

For more information on available session times please email me at alana (at) abjphoto (dot) com. Or through the CONTACT page above. Thanks!

Brookhaven Family Photographer | PJ is 1!

I love the Crowley Family! I have been able to capture some important life memories for them from wedding day, through newborn photos of their first child, and now his 1 year milestone!

I met them at their new home in Brookhaven for this session and it was the perfect spot to have fun playing in the yard. Toddlers provide constant entertainment and we all laughed as we watched and encouraged the smiles from PJ.
