Fun in Atlanta

I have been doing a ton of traveling lately. I have actually gone out of town every other weekend since I came home from the beach at the end of July. I have had so much fun visiting friends who have wanted sessions! This is my latest session. Benton and I just LOVE the Haney family, and I was so excited to document Andrea's pregnancy. She is due at the end of November, and will be having a boy. I am so excited to meet him, and find out what his name will be. Thank you to the Haney family for being such wonderful hosts.

Surprise!!

So I received an email from a daughter wanting me to photograph her mom's 90th birthday. I was a little unsure of how this might go...but when her mother arrived at the party I was the one who was surprised! If I look half as good as her at 90 that will be amazing. At 90 she still works 4 days a week at her daughter's restaurant! It was just so wonderful to meet all of her family and see just how much she meant to all of them. It was very clear that she is just an amazing woman who is well loved. It was such an honor to be a part of the party, and capture every moment.

Sweet Isabel!

I Love newborns!! I know a TON of people who hate the newborn stage! It is such a hard stage I know, but they are so sweet and so perfect to photograph! Don't get me wrong my nieces are 3 and 2, and they keep me in stitches, and my nephew is so sweet with his frankenstein walk, but newborns just make me smile!!

I was so lucky to get to go to Hattiesburg to visit with one of my very best friends (you may remember them from their maternity shoot)! I usually stick to a strict policy of only photographing newborns in the first 10 days, I also recognize that this is sometimes not possible (which was the case with Isabel). Benton and I spent Saturday just hanging out with Corey and Christina. It was so wonderful catching up with them, hearing about Isabel, and seeing them interact with her. Sunday morning we woke up and wanted to start taking pictures. Isabel had a different plan. She was wide awake! well 4 hours later we were able to get her out and we were able to get some great shots!

Busy, Busy,Busy

I have been editing pictures like crazy for the last few weeks! Business is really picking up, and I couldn't be happier!! If you are wanting to schedule a Christmas card session NOW is the time to contact me at amcdonoughphotography@gmail.com. I am filling up quickly! I will also be posting some Christmas card designs very soon. It seems so crazy to be talking about Christmas this early, but time is flying by! Here is a little of what I have been working on!

HOME

Well I am home from my third vacation of the summer! In theory two straight weeks at the beach sounds like so much fun, but in reality that is a long time to be gone. I am so behind in editing, because suddenly i have two and three sessions a week! It is so exciting, but being gone for 2 weeks away from my computer makes for a ton of work now that i am back.

I am having so much fun being busy! I have had so many different shoots the last few weeks, and it is so much fun having returning customers! My latest is a good friend of mine who is about to have her third baby boy! I cannot believe she is having her third! I can't wait to see baby number three.

Happy Birthday Campbell

I cannot believe it has been a year already!! Campbell is just about the sweetest little boy I know!! I just wanted to post a few pictures of him on his first birthday, and to let you know I have purchased a few new props, and I cannot wait to put them to use! The highchair is the first one, and if you have a one year old I would love for you to set up a session to remember them at this adorable stage!
