Atlanta Maternity & Newborn Photography
We love the photos
“We love the photos that Courtney took of our baby-- she was patient and thoughtful … and the result was beautiful.”
~ Thomas’ Parents, Erin & Byron
What’s it like to have Courtney photograph you?
I know how busy you are - preparing a nursery, caring for a new baby, and likely getting very little sleep - so I’m going to make this really easy for you.
Your full-service photography experience will be fun and personal, as well as professional and quality-driven.
I will expertly guide you along, from the planning and preparation to displaying completed artwork in your home and sharing digital images with your friends and family.
We’ll keep things super easy and enjoyable, I’ll even help you choose your favorite photos and the best way to display them.
Walking past these gorgeous photographs of your family every day will make you smile, reminding you of the love you have for each other - even on the roughest of days.
easy to work with
“Courtney was so good at calming our son and capturing all of his facial expressions. Courtney is so sweet and easy to work with, and super professional at the same time! We would recommend her to anyone.”
~ Benjamin’s Parents, Amy & Bryan
How does it work?
Booking. We’ll pencil in a date for our first session based on your due date. Sign an online contract, pay your deposit, and you are booked.
Pre-Session Consultation. You’ll fill out my survey, then we’ll chat on the phone. I’ll tailor the session to fit your style and share my tips and tricks to a successful and fun session.
Portrait Session. The experience will depend on the type of session, but in general I like to keep things moving so that no one gets bored and the smiles stay genuine. You’ll get traditional posed portraits as well as natural candid images. See the First Year Milestone Session descriptions below to learn more about each portrait session type.
In-Home Reveal. After your portrait session, I'll come to you with a selection of the best photos and make the photo selection process a breeze. We’ll also decide how you want to display your favorite photos, and you’ll place your order at that time.
First Year Milestone Sessions
Your baby’s first year will be a whirlwind of changes, and you don’t want to miss a single one! Each milestone is special and shows a different stage of your amazing baby. These Sessions may be booked independently or as part of a Baby Plan.
Maternity
Maternity Sessions can be photographed in a variety of locations, so we’ll pick one to fit your style. Most clients schedule this session at 30-35 weeks, when their tummy is nice and round. Maternity Sessions can be just the mom-to-be or include the whole family.
Fresh 48
Fresh 48 Sessions take place at the hospital within a day or two (48 hours) of your baby’s birth. This session is very different from the in-home newborn session, as there is minimal posing and props. This session is about capturing your baby’s new moments in a natural and candid way. Many times, I’ll also be documenting the first time the siblings meet their new brother or sister.
Newborn
I photograph Newborn Sessions when your baby is about a week old. There’s nothing like a tiny newborn, and they change so fast! For your convenience, I come to your home for Newborn Sessions, so you won’t have the stress of having to pack up the baby and everyone else. I bring everything you’ll need and am also happy to incorporate any props or outfits you have and want to use. You’ll get images of just the baby that look like they were taken in a studio, as well as more lifestyle images with the family.
Smiling
Smiling Sessions take place in your home when baby is 3-4 months old. At this age, babies are giving great eye contact and smiling consistently as they become more aware of the people and world around them. Your baby’s personality will be starting to emerge and they begin to really interact with you. I’ll capture these adorable baby smiles, and your new connection as they recognize and react to seeing you.
Sitting Up
Sitting Up Sessions take place when your baby is sitting fairly well without support but not yet crawling. This is my favorite age to photograph because the babies are super adorable and I don’t have to chase them around! I also love their chubby little arms and legs and their big bright eyes, and getting huge smiles.
One Year Old
Turning one is such a huge milestone! Your baby is usually pulling themselves to a standing position, walking while holding your hand, and maybe even walking on their own. If you want, we can end this session with a cake smash.
fantastic work
“Courtney did my maternity and newborn portraits and we could not be happier! I was a big, pregnant lady and then I was a tired, new mom but she was patient and helpful the entire time. Fantastic work.”
~ Estelle’s Mom, Casey
