There's a boy on the way :: Photos by Pru :: Atlanta Maternity Photographer

Yes, Yes, Yes, there's a boy on the way. They've been waiting and wanting him for so long. He's loved already. This was a mother/daughter maternity session. It was beautiful to see the Mommy taking care of her baby who is having her very own baby. I'm really not capable of putting it into words. It was beautiful and moving and a genuine demonstration of the gentleless of motherly love being passed from one generation to the next. Pictures have emotion, and this one speaks volumes.

When a man finds an incredible woman and gives her an incredible ring, it deserves photographic recognition. So to my friends C & M, congrats! Your engagement session was so much fun but I just wanted to tease you with this picture. Smooches.

Anticipation :: Photos by Pru :: Atlanta Maternity and Family Photographer

Just today, I ran across this picture from a couple years ago. It's amazing how much this family had changed. the little guy that's in the belly, is now almost 2 years old and his older brother is still quite a charm. Their family is just as happy today as they were when these pictures were taken.

The Sweetness of new life :: Photos by Pru :: Lithonia Newborn Photographer

There's something captivating about a newborn baby. They are snuggly and cuddly and innocent and bring so much joy.  Our family is complete, which is why I love my job, I get to indulge for just a few hours then I walk away with wonderful pictures that will last forever. It's the ultimate opportunity to 'Capture Life, One Click at a Time.'

There's nothing sexier, more beautiful, more amazing than a round full-of-life belly. Don't you agree?

Paused....

Sometimes, I'm editing and I get to a picture that I didn't expect and I just have to stop and share. Today, this picture did that for me.

This picture just draws me in. Maybe it's because I love his family. Maybe it's because I think he's awesome. Maybe because I've watched him grow up and I'm amazed. Maybe it's because I know that one day he'll be a man, I'll be an old lady (still fabulous) and I hope he is as eager for life in 30 years.

So, to the M. family, your pictures are almost ready. But for now, this one made me pause. Love you all.

Change is a'coming

Photos by Pru will use an offical watermark on all web images from now on.

Why? Well, simply put, publicity. I watermarked photos for a little while but somewhere around June, after my logo was designed, I stopped placing my © symbol on many pictures,  especially on Facebook, which is exactly why I need the new watermark. With Facebook it's so easy to share pictures and I think if the picture is good enough to share then I should get the credit and definitely the publicity.

So, today is a new day.

Check out the newly designed Photos By Pru watermark that will go on all web images. Don't worry, clients always get unwatermarked images for their personal use but I ask that all electronic (Facebook, email, etc) images use the watermark version.


This is a move forward plan. At this time, I don't plan to re-upload images that have not been watermarked.

What do you think? I like it!

The 50mm challenge

It's a photographers' dream and challenge. I pulled out the 50mm lens. It's a special lens and mostly used for porrtraits or detail photographs. But it's best because this lens can find beauty in just about anything. So, one day, I realized that I hadn't used mine in a while and pulled it out and started clicking. Here are the results.

Before and After

No words necessary. A picture can speak a thousand words.
