Addison, Avery & Jackson ~ Marietta, Georgia Child & Family Photographer

I hadn’t seen these three beautiful kiddos since baby brother was a baby… and now he’s a full-fledged toddler, following his big sisters around & doing all of the fun things that little boys do!  I’m always impressed with how happy these three are… even doing something - like a photo session – that many little ones would rather not be doing! 

It was a little chilly on the morning of our session, so we worked fast & all three kiddos cooperated beautifully, providing us with some really great shots to document this sweet season for their family.

Thank you, Steven & Mandy, for a wonderful session… I love working with your family & these three beautiful, happy children!!  Hope you’ll enjoy some favorites so far!

Pardon the Progress ~ Blog & Scheduling Updates

Just a quick update for those of you who follow my blog or check here periodically for updates…

You may notice some blog design changes in the days & weeks ahead… just doing a little “sprucing up” and updating to the blog & website (it’s been a while!), so please pardon the disarray in the meantime!  I’m still figuring things out as I transition to mommy of two and working from home, which sometimes barely leaves me time for absolute musts (i.e. editing sessions, communicating with clients & processing orders)… but I’m hoping to gradually get things updated on the blog & maybe even my website in the near future.  Thanks so much for your understanding and sorry for any confusion if you have trouble accessing your blog sneak peeks or see some strange design things going on during the “construction process”…

Also, for those of you who don’t follow Facebook or who do but aren’t yet a fan of Karen Baker Photography (if not, you should be… head on over there now!)… I posted some scheduling updates recently…

I am currently booked through the end of the summer (through the end of August 2012). With the exception of new inquiries already submitted, or if we are currently working on your session date, I have no more dates available through the end of the summer… I’ll start booking Fall 2012 dates later this summer. Thank you so much for your support!

I’m keeping a running list of clients who inquire about Fall dates & will start contacting everyone to work on their session date, toward the end of the summer… so be sure to let me know if you’re interested in a Fall session date & I’ll add you to the list!  The early bird most definitely gets the best session dates when it comes to photographers’ busy Fall schedules!! 

And because no posting on a photographer’s blog would be complete without a picture… thought you all might enjoy this recent one of our precious baby boy… already FOUR months old!  My how time is ALREADY flying by!!!

Jolie ~ 4.5 Months ~ Cartersville, Georgia Baby & Family Photographer

It was such a treat getting to work with this sweet new family of three!  Jolie is exactly a month older than my Jack, and her mommy has her own budding photography and design business, so we have much in common these days! 

Since I so often find myself on the other side of the camera and absent from pictures with my family and my sweet boys, I am always excited for the opportunity to photograph another mommy who is often in the same shoes!  I treasure the few pictures I have with my boys and of our little family, so I love being able to provide the same for someone else! 

Of course it didn’t hurt matters that this particular family is so adorable… who wouldn’t want to photograph them?!?  This precious baby girl is going to change so much over the next year (and years after that), and these sweet early moments are so easy to forget.  I’m thankful I had the opportunity to stop time for just a moment and document their lives right now…

Anne-Scarlett & Jason, it was wonderful getting to work with you all… thank you for having me over & allowing me to photograph your beautiful new family of three!  Hope you’ll enjoy some of my favorites so far!

Jack ~ 4 Years ~ Canton, Georgia Child Photographer

I had to stare at the computer screen for a few moments after typing the number “4″ next to this sweet boy’s name.  How on Earth is it possible that this precious child, who I’ve been photographing since his ONE year session, is now FOUR?!?  I see my own children growing & changing at what sometimes feels like light speed, and now I’m starting to feel that way with clients! 

What a pleasure & a priviledge it has been to work with this family over the past three years.  I’ve loved seeing Jack grow and change from session to session… from that little one year old learning to explore his world around him, to a big four year old, chatting with me about all sorts of fun things. 

On top of being an awesome toddler conversationalist (and one pretty darn good-looking kid), Jack is one of the best big brothers I’ve seen yet.  I get to photograph quite a few sweet siblings, but these two might just take the cake… and it’s evident in baby sister Josie’s eyes just how much she adores her big brother.  These two always give me the sweetest sibling shots! 

Sean and Jenny, thank you – as always – for a wonderful session.  I love seeing you all and being able to photograph each new season of your lives… hope you’ll enjoy a few of my favorites so far!!

Clara ~ 4 Years ~ Acworth, Georgia Child & Family Photographer

I loved seeing this sweet family again last weekend.  I had the pleasure of photographing Clara’s 3 year session early last year, so I was excited to have the opportunity this year to document her in all of her four year old cuteness!

I’m not going to lie, the weather (specifically, the WIND) was not our friend on this particular evening.  A windy outdoor session can certainly be a challenge (something to always consider when preparing for beach pictures!), but thankfully these three took it in stride and, despite the challenges, we were able to capture some really sweet four year old and family moments for them. 

Heather, Lynn & Clara, thank you so much for another opportunity to work with your family!  I loved seeing you all again… hope you’ll enjoy some of my favorites so far!
