Light and Color | Alpharetta Baby and Child Photographer

I am always amazed at the properties of light… I think before I was a photographer I saw it but didn’t really know what I was seeing.  Now that I have trained my eyes over the past few years I see it so much differently now.  The light in a given location can change so much depending on the season, the time of day, the humidity in the air, the clouds, ect.  I find it so amazing how two sessions shot in similar locations have a completely different look and feel.  This particular day was a beautiful fall day with very low humidity.  I believe it was around high noon too.  And if you talk to most photographers they will tell you that is not ideal for light.  Harsh sun, squinty eyes, ect.  I have found in GA we are lucky with all our tree cover if you find the right spot it doesn’t matter what time of day it is.  This session turned out to have some of the prettiest colors… the sun was bright the light was clean and the subject was beyond adorable.  The Fall colors reflecting all around us gave us beautiful warm backgrounds.  So while I was editing this sneak peek it inspired me to talk a bit about that light.  Look around you, pay attention to your light, see how it can beautifully set off someones eyes or skin tones.  It is really fascinating when you start paying attention to it.

This little one is graduating baby planner and boy oh boy I am going to miss not seeing her every 4 months.  She has been a joy to photograph from the very first time I met her at 10 days old.  I just adore her and her mommy and daddy!  I thought it would be fun to revisit some newborn shots.  Look how tiny she was!

She is seriously one of the happiest babies around.  Or should I say toddlers? She makes
