olivia grace | marietta newborn photographer

Sweet Olivia. Adorable, awake, hungry Olivia. Like so many newborns, miss Olivia spent her first few days just adjusting to being born. But by day 7? This wee baby girl was HUNGRY. Did she sleep during our session? Yup, here and there…but basically she was all about the FOOD (hey, a girl after my own...

I can’t wait | our new display wall

Clients often ask me if my house is full of portraits of Aidan and Ava. Yes…and no!
I have a 20×30 over the fireplace of their hands (looove that one), and I have an asymmetrical gallery of color images at the top of our stairs that I add to from time to time. Ava has several...

lee | atlanta newborn photographer

If anyone sings “You Must have been a Beautiful Baby” to Lee when he’s grown, he will confidently be able to respond “Yes, I was!”

I don’t know what was more adorable: his fauxhawk, his perfect lips, or the downy soft hair on his back. Or his cheeks. Definitely his cheeks.

Beth and Ernie, thank you so...

roe | a not-so-sleepy (almost) newborn

At six weeks, sweet little Roe wanted nothing to do with sleep. He was old enough to know there was fun stuff going on and he was *not* going to miss a single minute of it.

The nice thing with alert babies is that we capture a lot of fun bright eyed images, and Roe certainly...

Due to some recent national publicity on the Today show and other media outlets, the classic art of newborn photography has grown in popularity by leaps and bounds. Along with this popularity...

hunter lee | a darling sleepy newborn

Hello there, beautiful baby boy.

I photograph so many wonderful newborns, and I always let them be the boss (now and forever, right moms?). Hunter was such a sleepy, content little baby – he was asleep when he arrived and stayed asleep pretty much through our entire session, except when it was time to have a...

brand new lisa russo photography website!

About once a year, I like to completely redo my website. Partly to keep things fresh, and partly to show off my previous year’s clients. Although I do my best to keep my website images updated throughout the year, I just never seem to find the time to make it happen!
So, as is fitting on...

jonathan and his amazing eyelashes

Have you ever in your life seen eyelashes as beautiful as sweet Jonathan’s?

I’m quite certain his wonderful parents got very tired of my exclaiming “He’s so CUTE!!” during our session, but my goodness what a joy this sweet baby boy was to photograph!

Most of my newly-sitting babies are very serious. Very intent. Soaking things in...

reece, a beautiful baby girl

Welcome to the world, beautiful baby girl.

Reece was such a dream to photograph. So content and peaceful, whether sleeping or awake. Just perfect in every way.

I love when my favorite image from a session is one that was completely spontaneous…that I feel so lucky to have captured.

Heather (and Jeff!), thank you so very much.
