Finally back from the honeymoon and trying to get back into the blogging schedule. More to come on what I’ve been up to, but here it the final family from my Four Families in Four Hours sessions in Roswell, GA. Here are the Von Holts!
Of course you have to taste it. Why not?
Family number two of our Super Sunday Photo Block (sounds like a radio show, right?) was the Sullivans. We’ve seen them on the APG blog before but the occasion today was Elena’s two-year photos. She is such a cutie and was definitely taught the word “cheeeeeese” as can be seen in this first photo. She was saying it even before I started snapping photos, so you could tell Mommy and Daddy prepped her well.
Throwing stones with Mommy.
From my post a couple of weeks back, you saw the men in uniform that performed the Saber Arch down the aisle for Marisa and Andy. Now the full post with the rest of the photos. Keri and had a wonderful time helping share in the Geberts’ big day and also give a big thanks to the Cobb Galleria Center and St. Joseph’s Catholic Church for being so helpful with all of the photography needs.
And the best pic from the church…
Best cake cutting tool ever.
Most of my wedding previews don’t look like this one, but I will say the Saber Arch at Marisa and Andy Gebert’s wedding was pretty darn cool. I got an email from Marisa today saying that they moved out to Oklahoma where Andy is stationed just a week after the honeymoon. These men below in uniform represent all the branches of the military and I know we can’t thank them enough for serving.
Just a fun little reminder that when you have a portrait session with Alex the Photo Guy, you get a nifty online gallery of your photos to share with family and friends. Along with that gallery you get access to all kinds of exciting gifts, prints, canvas prints, and cards. The cards are super easy to make online with hundreds of customizable templates. Here are a few from recent portrait sessions.

Happy Holidays from Alex the Photo Guy!
A few days before Thanksgiving this year I had the pleasure of photographing baby Braxton. He was born last month to a couple of good friends from my day job. This shoot was a lot of fun, but also helped me remember the top two rules of easy baby photography:
#1: Make sure the baby is asleep.
#2: Babies hate being nekkid.
I really think the saying should be changed to “let sleeping babies lie.” Sleeping babies are just as cute as awake babies, but don’t fuss or cry. As far as rule #2 goes, I think it’s pretty easy to understand. If you were nekkid and had someone taking pictures, I’m sure you’d cry too. If you must have nekkid baby photos, save them for the end of the shoot so the babies can get at least some time to be happy and comfy.
The fall leaves outside were an awesome spot for a backdrop (though they sometimes made the photo look like “hey, someone left a baby over there in those leaves!”). Believe it or not, daddy claims he raked the entire yard last weekend and filled 15 yard bags. I guess it’s the price you pay for nice foliage.
See rule #2 above.
And the unintentional last photo that ended up being mommy’s favorite.
Had a busy couple of lunch breaks last week full of newborn photos. Here are a few shots from Monday’s shoot of Isabella McKinney. She’s just a few weeks old and already has more facial expressions than a teenager.
