When Nicole  started  Memories for Keepsake, Photography by Nicole  three years ago, she never of dreamed her newborn work would take off in the direction it has, allowing Nicole to serve not only Savannah moms, but also nationwide. Nicole had clients from Atlanta, South Carolina, Tennesse, Virginia, Florida and North Carolina to have their portraits done.

“It’s so humbling to see clients truly value their portraiture enough to drive several hours and stay the night in a hotel weeks or even days after the birth of their baby for newborn portraiture,” says Nicole.

Nicole Williams just launched a new sister site off the original Memories for Keepsake portraiture site that is dedicated to JUST newborns. Access the newborn site by visiting www.memoriesforkeepsake.com  then clicking on “newborn site” OR just visit www.nicolewilliamsbaby.com . Nicole has exciting things planned this year that will take newborn portraiture to a whole new level for Savannah. She needs a few models for these sessions. If you are interested in being a model, send Nicole an email with your name, email address and phone number and she’ll contact you with that information.

To top it all off, Nicole is offering a $100 print credit to SouthernMamas readers if you book and reserve your newborn session before May 1, 2011.

Popular Savannah family portrait photographer LeeAnn Ritch recently took photos my two children, ages 3 & 1, at Tybee’s North Beach.  

Beforehand, I was completely stressed about how my kids would behave. If they would behave.  But a mere two minutes into the session, I could see that LeeAnn had mesmorized them both!

During the photo shoot, my 3-year-old son turned to me and whispered: “Mommy, I don’t want to be a fire-fighter anymore. I want to be a PHOTOGRAPHER.” He is in awe of LeeAnn. So am I.  Here are  few samples of her shots from that beautiful evening that included magical September light, clear moon and sunset.

Not only is LeeAnn Ritch a natural-life aficinado with a knack for turning out unfussy photos that shine, the mother of two is also a pro at relating to children and making photo sessions fun and stress-free. My kids relished being in front of her lens.

LeeAnn Ritch Photography is currently offering a fall special: $300 for a session and CD! (regular $575). Check out some of her work here. LeeAnn Ritch specializes in newborn, baby, child, and family photography.
