The Goble Family

Well another of my doula friends from Georgia Birth Network is expecting!!!  I spent some time with Jennifer, Russ, Ben & Elly on Saturday to take some pictures before baby #3 makes his or her appearance.

The kids love to read with mom and dad, and this book was a fun to look at with them.  It's a Search & Find book (kind of like Where's Waldo) where they kids had fun finding Mickey & Friends in the pages.


Finding Mickey!


Of course we had to get a few with Jennifer and Russ alone and showing off the belly.



Ben & Elly on the stairs while we were setting up a family picture.



Elly decided to kiss mom's belly while Ben watched.



Towards the end Elly was tired and had some cuddle time with mom



Here's the slideshow with the rest of the images.  Enjoy!


I'm eagerly anticipating the birth of their new baby so stay tuned to the blog for an update!  Jennifer, Russ and the kids I will see you soon!

Lets Go Racing!

"Hey, can you guys come take some pictures for us?" This was the call we got from our friend Amy as she told us she was sending her husband Jim to racing school as a gift for his retirement from the Airforce. Jim is an avid car and race fan, so I couldnt wait to go see what race school was all about. This was the Speed Tech Racing School being held at the massive Atlanta Motor Speedway. Jim started early in the morning with classroom and track trials with the Speed Tech instructors. We caught up with Jim mid-morning and prior to his 18 lap solo run around the track.




Drivers being briefed before their solo runs.



This dash board means business!



Almost time to go. The school only allows 5 or 6 cars to run together at one time, so the drivers were divided up into groups.



As the first group runs the track, Jim takes a few thoughtful moments as the excitement builds. The cars run 600+HP and with no instructor in the car, Im sure all the track rules and operation of the car are running through Jim's mind.





Its time to roll!





Drivers are assigned cars based on their physical dimensions, as distance to pedals, steering wheel, etc. are all fixed and non-adjustable. Jim was lucky enough to draw the number 3 Dale car!



Lap one at speed!



Jim blows by the #1 car in a pass down the long straight in front of the grandstands!





Did I say massive Atlanta Motor Speedway?!! This will give you some idea.





With Jim in the #3 "Dale" car, I thought this was cool as I noticed the big sign on the first turn on the track!



Some more shots at speed down the main straight!





Eighteen laps later its time to pit!



I think from Jims smile, it was quite an experience.



Jim, I hope you enjoy these pictures! Its been quite a few years since I have been to the racetrack! We had a lot of fun watching you run this track and sharing in your excitement at this opportunity!

He Has A Name...

A few weeks ago I was honored to photograph the birth of this beautiful boy and am happy to show you more of baby Roman Scott Feinauer.


Emma and I had a blast spending the afternoon with our friends Nichole & Scott and the kids and photographing Roman again for his newborn session.  He was 2 weeks old during this session and was so cute and cooperative :)


Snuggling with mom, one of his favorite spots




with Daddy, another favorite spot


Sophie getting in on the photo taking action...  with Bella and Joey looking on



admiring their new baby boy


Roman loved my basket with the soft blanket and slept away from mom or dad for a while.  It was hard taking him out to come home.  I think Emma would have packed him right up to bring home to play with her





Before heading out we played a bit with the kids...  and I took the opportunity to capture their goofy faces.  Lilly is growing up and looks so much older than she did at our last photo session


Sophie is such a cutie 


Joey is the ham of the family and had fun giving me goofy faces


Bella gave me some good goofy faces, but this is my favorite one of her laughing at me


One last one with Mom & Dad



I can't wait for our next session as Roman grows.  Here is "Roman's Birth Story" slideshow with images from the maternity session, birth and newborn session.

Darling Kristen

I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with this darling one year old and her family.  Kristen has big beautiful eyes and just LOVES her daddy.



You can see where she gets her smile from... from her mom, Stacey.



Having a snack in the kitchen with mom and grandma


Grandma and Kristen played in the bathroom sink!




Up in her room, all she wanted to do was watch the neighbor kids on their bikes.  



She has a darling room, accented with butterflies and lady bugs


She loves to read her books


 Reading with Daddy



Her favorite book is Tails


There are so many more images from this fun session so enjoy the slideshow


One last image...


I look forward to seeing you all again as Kristen grows!
