As we creep closer to spring, I get excited about the upcoming photo shoots with babies … families… children… where they offer me the chance to capture life. So many are outside – even when we need to stay in the studio I still take time to show each personality.

Any mall or store nowadays has a photo booth – as I call them. You go in – you sit with the same background everybody else has (you may have a few choices) and you gets protratits that memorialize a face… not a life.

I prefer to meet at homes … go along on family outings … take children to parks… make them be silly in the studio … anything to create memories that shows who children are or the heart of families. or the loved new baby.




I love to share when that has happened – when life is shown… when you can see, from a photograph, a bit of who this person is, what brings them joy!
Layla was full of joy that day - showing Life … not still life!

It has been said – somewhere – that the reward for being a good mother is having grandchildren. This year has certainly been one of reward for me. Thomas and Layla grew so quickly and bring joy to me each time I see them. Iris was born in late September and has quietly wound her way into my heart! To have this great gift of being a grandmother is so wonderful – truly does fill a space in my heart. As 2009 has closed, I wanted to share a look over the past year in pictures of my grandbabies. It has been a full year – can’t wait for what is to come in this new year… new decade!

As I start 2010 I looked back on the year in faces through our studio. It was a year of changes as we moved from a storefront in the middle of Historic Norcross to our 2 acre studio just around the corner on Sunset Drive. I have several days worth of faces to show all of the fun we had with everyone who gave us the opportunity to serve them with photography! Here are the highlights from the babies… families and individuals who brought joy to Seitz Photography Studio!

Christmas – my favorite holiday – has come and gone too fast, as it does each year. I still count the days until it comes and wonder at the joy of family and friends as we meet each December to share the pleasure of being together … being wistful when it is over. This year was the same – as I hope it was for you – full of happiness. We traveled up to Maryland and Pennsylvania to visit with family there and had the enchantment of a white Christmas.

Staying at my brother and sister in laws home is always magical this time of year. Fran loves Christmas even more than I do and it shows throughout their home – new and old decorations creating a warm, contented feel. If ever there was a place that Santa will visit, it is their home. Their library invites you to sit by the fire and read the afternoon away. Their lane reminds me of Robert Frost poems. Their Christmas table is always set just right – mixing greens and reds with delightful results. They love creative people and surround themselves with many who share their love of music, conversation and sitting by a warm fire to end each day.

I share these pictures with you as I start my countdown to next year’s Christmas. Wishing you wonder as you start your new year. I trust you will fill it with good people and good times. May we all come to the end being thankful, as I am, for the many – many people who stuff each year to the brim!

Who doesn’t remember swinging when you were a kid? The joy of flying up off of the ground and twrling in the air and then wanting to do it again! Photographing the laughter and sheer joy for Baylor and his mom and dad – and remembering that feeling. I hope it never goes away – that when I am 90 I will be saying “Push me higher – NO – HIGHER!”
Hard to believe Baylor is three. He always comes in with a smile and loves to show his new tricks. The “sandwich of love” picture is one I have fun with – it is capturing happiness! Baylor- Have a great year!

Netta and her family came into the studio just as the sun was reaching the golden hour. Meeting everyone was like greeting old friends. She and James have a love for each other and for their children that glows in their faces. Netta found me through a review on Kudzu.com and came with the goal of getting photographs that showed their joy.
Canon – their son – was a perfect model. He smiled and laughed throughout – hamming it up when needed, loving his little sister, Camille and letting her hang on him for the pictures.

When we lost the sun and came inside, Camille was done with sitting down. She wanted to explore and James and Netta were delighted with the pictures we got from that time. Canon – sitting in place and smiling confidently – with Camille peeking around him when she felt like it. We all laughed as memories were captured of these precious children.
Always great to photograph new faces, it is wonderful when I hear how much their session brought them exactly what they wanted. I am always grateful when someone takes the time to write a referral and am happy to share with you the delight Netta felt by offering you her words:
“The photos Beth took of my family were breathtaking! Every single picture was amazing!! I knew after reviewing Beth work our family photos would be good, but they exceeded my expectations. Beth was very kind and patient with our young children and the pictures of them reflects how happy they were during our session. If you are looking for an extraordinary photographer that catches every great moment and every priceless expression…look no further. Thank you Beth for mastering your craft your work is priceless. We look forward to working with you in the future!”
Enjoy this happy month – make sure you offer lots of hugs to all your loved ones! ~ Beth

If you have little children you know that the phrase in the familiar Christmas poem – “Not a creature was stirring…” is not true when it comes to holiday fun. At a recent Moms Meet Up group, I photographed several of the young babies there for holiday portraits – enjoying all of the movement as moms endeavored to have their sweeties sit still for a second – or two. As you know my style of photography is “Life… not still life” and these images show the fun of letting babies show their joy while I capture pictures to prove it. If you recognize them you will know they are 2 of my 3 grandbabies – Thomas and Iris. Iris, as you will see, is content to let Thomas illustrate his joy for these pictures. She is, at least for now, not stirring.
Have a great weekend! ~ Beth

Just got back from Florida. The warm sun, running to the beach, walking with my granddaughter, visiting with family, ocean breezes… Each day was wonderful.
The first day I was there I walked Layla’s neighborhood with her and we talked about all the funny & interesting things she saw from her stroller. There were times she tried to stand up a la Kate Winslet in the bow of the Titanic and she smiled as she enjoyed the ever changing views.
Layla and I decided that I would take pictures of everything that we thought was interesting. I promised her I would continue to do so on my side trip to the Keys. So, Layla, this blog is dedicated to you. Here are our pictures. Thank you for the pat hugs, for blowing me kisses, for laughing when I danced to Sesame Street, and for so much joy. I miss you already – can’t wait to plan my next trip to see you again.

Hands down, October beats all other months to win the title of “my favorite month”. But, I can’t believe my favorite month is already gone and we’re almost halfway through November. Before you know it, my favorite time of year (fall, of course) will be over and it will be time for the gray, cold days of winter.
Since fall seems to be passing me by so quickly, I was thinking about all of my favorite images we’ve taken during the few autumns I’ve been here. What you see below are my top 10 favorite “taken during fall” images, in no particular order of course. Some are new, some are old, all make me smile.
Enjoy!










Happy Veterans Day!
