Family Photos with a Special Announcement in Avondale Estates, GA

Highlights from a Photo Gallery for a Baby Announcement with Family Photos by Monica Conlin Photography

Some sessions just stay with you—and this one at Avondale Lake is one of them.

When this local family reached out about updating their family photos, we talked about the timing being at golden hour and making space for a relaxed, playful session that let their toddler be a toddler. But the extra special part of this session was a little surprise in store—one they’d been keeping quiet for weeks.

We met at Avondale Lake on one of those perfect evenings where it wasn’t too hot yet and there was hardly anyone out at the park. We moved through the session like we always do—lighthearted, slow, and focused on the in-between moments. Those quiet forehead kisses, little hand-holds, and belly laughs that make a gallery feel like home.

Then came the moment for the fun surprise, the Mom pulled out her ultrasound photos of little baby #2. The soon-to-be big brother was into it and proudly helped hold the roll of pictures. It was a lovely way to build the excitement and joy that comes with welcoming a new baby.

These are the special moments that are meant to be remembered, and what better way than having forever photographs!

To all the families I photograph, thank you for trusting me with your beautiful news and big life events. I am so grateful to be the one to document what matters most to you!
