Maternity at das Hinterhaus- a little place out back will always feel special to me. Pretty light + a glowing mama, equals a dreamy combo.

If I could go back to this time in my life I would in a heartbeat. I’d do it all over again and love it even more the second time. How special is the gift of motherhood? It’s a gift- truly.

This is 51. This is the year I start my new chapter of life with only one parent. This is a club I never wanted to belong to but always knew I would. This is a time in my life when I’m learning to manage my mid-life mood swings, my sadness and grief from losing my dad to cancer & learning to embrace the new found freedom my kids are acquiring as they grow up. I have a driver now (as of today, go Maeve 𓃗᪥) and with that I’ve lost a bit of control and gained an extra layer of worry. I know my dad will be her guardian angel and keep her safe. Life is so busy, so full, so thoroughly exhausting and sometimes gut wrenching but through it all there is joy. I have health, I have work, I have my friends, coworkers and family- all of who support me and lift me up so often. I’m grateful for life, for health and for love. Happy birthday to me. May I give myself the gift of grace, always.

Just a quick reminder that there’s still spots available for Father Christmas at das Hinterhaus- a little place out back. He’s a groovy vibe and an incredible guitarist. Come for something outside the box- you’ll be glad you did. One Friday evening only. He’s a busy dude and I had to take what I could get. Hope you can join us! Link in bio.

It’s October- unbelievable! This can only mean one thing…my calendar is about to explode! All the things are happening this month. Minis start up and I can’t wait for those. Maeve has a birthday and I have a birthday and football is in full swing. I’ve got some seniors on the calendar and I’ll be at Cherokee Heights Arts Festival again this year. It’s always a fun time photographing their awesome event. Check it out if you haven’t before.
If you’re on the fence about a session, now is the time to grab one. Kemp park has one slot left and that place is gorgeous. You can still have doughnuts with me in downtown marietta (truly my fave sessions) Black Santa of Atlanta is sold out but Father Christmas has space and so do my holiday micro minis. I’d love to meet new faces and greet the familiar ones with open arms.
Want a full session? We can try to squeeze that in too.
In the meantime, stay dry this weekend…at least those of us in Atlanta.

Vanessa VanEtten Edmonds your senior girl (and only girl) is simply stunning in every way. I hope you both enjoy every minute of her senior year. I'm still not sure how it's possible since I can vividly remember you playing tennis while giant pregnant with her and it feels like just yesterday.
