Andrea + Nacho's Maternity Session
Recap 2016
Dear 2016,
You have been hard, the biggest challenge of my LIFE, but you have also been a blessing. This year brought me my son, Nicolas, it brought me answers to my health, and it also brought me so many wonderful photo sessions. I say this every year, but I TRULY mean it when I say this, "I am so lucky to be able to be a stay-at-home-mom AND continue working on my passion - my photography." Yes, this year may have been a lot slower because of my Dystonia and yes I had to turn down many clients, but every chance I had to pick up my camera and photograph another family was filled with such a sense of JOY and pure BLISS. Thank you for every single person in my life. I am incredibly grateful for your endless support and love.
2017, I am ready for YOU! I am ready for a year filled with accomplishments, for more answers, for more joy, and more photo sessions with my wonderful clients!
Maternity Session: Oliphant Family
This beautiful couple has a special place in my heart. They were our neighbors for three wonderful years at our townhome. We became very close friends as we walked our dogs to the dog park every day. Chester and I were lucky enough to be a part of their wedding last year and when Lindsey asked me to take photos as they embark in their new journey to parenthood, I was beyond ecstatic!!! Andrew and Lindsey (and Ellie:), thank you so much for spending the afternoon with us and allowing me to capture these special moments. We cannot wait to meet your bundle of joy and watch you become parents! That little one is lucky to have you both. :)
Recap of 2015
Every year I am in awe of all that I gain from each photo session. Whether it's a wedding, a newborn session, or a family session, there is ALWAYS something that I learn about life and myself. 2015 has been filled with so much joy and a few surprises. In June, we found out that we were expecting our second baby. We have been blessed with our daughter, Daniela, and now we are waiting to meet our son in just 2 short weeks. (Or sooner, if he decides to come earlier.) My fall season was cut short because of a neck injury and was unable to take on quite a few sessions, but I had to put my baby and pregnancy first and rest as much as possible. My dear clients were so understanding, and for that, I am forever grateful. I'm reminded how lucky I truly am to have such a gratifying job where I can work with such wonderful families. To those families, Thank You! I am so thankful for your support and love.
2016, we are ready for you! I am excited to work with more families and capture more memories.

Maternity Session - Melba + Alejandro + baby Daniel
This sweet family is extra special to me because I've had the privilege to document their engagement, wedding and now ...they are having a beautiful baby boy :) Daniel Alejandro is so lucky to have these two amazing people as his parents. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a woman carry a baby. I am still in awe of how powerful our bodies can be and what they are capable of. Melba, you are absolutely glowing and have such inner strength and beauty. We are so excited to meet your little one.
2014 - An Unforgettable Year
2014 has been a year filled with so much adventure, excitement, and amazing clients who I am lucky enough to call them close, dear friends. I am so incredibly grateful each and every one of you. You have all impacted my life in so many ways - and for that I am forever thankful.
Please enjoy this slideshow with just some of my favorite moments :)
"New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change"
Abbi + John Paul are having a baby!
I have always been so close to all of my cousins; however, I clearly remember John Paul coming over to our house and playing with my brother and hearing them discuss their next BIG project like the potato gun or discussing on starting a band. Whatever they were up to, I always had fun observing their fun games and laughing with them whenever something went wrong. A year ago, John Paul married the love of his life and recently moved back to Atlanta….and now they are having a baby boy! I couldn't be happier for him and my NEW cousin, Abbi. The love and respect the two of them have for each other is just so inspiring and refreshing. And seeing them getting ready to meet their baby fills my heart with joy. They are going to be such amazing parents and role models to the little one…he is one lucky boy! :)
Abbi and John Paul, thank you all of your kindness and patience! I had such a wonderful time capturing these moments for you. I love you both so much. And I cannot wait to meet the little one! :)
With all my love,
Olga
