Atlanta Baby Photographer | Newborns, Children, Families | Portraits by Amanda Shoemaker

A few faves from a recent session with an active toddler here in Midtown Atlanta.

Mom’s goal for our session was to capture her daughter’s beauty and exploratory nature…

… I’d say we definitely accomplished that!

I love offering these mini accordion albums to my clients. They are the perfect size for your purse, and everyone loves showing them off. So cute!

* If you are a photographer utilizing Adobe Lightroom, I’ve shared a template below along with instructions on how to import the LR preset files. Enjoy!

For Photographers

There are two separate presets in the zip. One is called “mini accordion photos” and the other is “mini accordion window.” Pretty self-explanatory. The larger ones are square photos for inside the album, and the smaller one is for the front window image.

I prefer my inside photos to be 2.5″ since the pages are 3″ square, as this leaves a little room around the photo to act as a border. You can adjust this size to be whatever you like.

Importing the Presets into Lightroom

• Download the LR Accordion Template zip file and extract the files to your desktop.
• In Lightroom, go to the Print Module.
• On the left hand side, under “Template Browser,” right click (or control-click) on “User Templates” and you should see a menu pop up. Choose “Import” and select the file to be imported. (Screenshot below).

If you found these presets useful, please let me hear from you in the comments below.  It might encourage me to share more LR presets in the future!  :-)

I finally caved and bought an iPhone over the weekend.

My husband and I were out driving around in the snow and taking pictures when I had one final incident with my phone and T-mobile’s awful customer service… and drove straight to the nearest AT&T store to pick up an iPhone.

So far, I love it.  One of my favorite things about this phone is the amazing clarity and resolution of the screen…. perfect for showing off your favorite photos.

And because I know many of my clients already have the iPhone or plan to get one soon… I’m excited to introduce… Digital Wallets™ for the iPhone and iPod Touch!

Each image you purchase as a printed portrait will be included with your order in digital format, perfect for sharing on the web, iPhone/iPod, and via email.  
Complimentary with print purchase.

Updated - Here’s an example Digital Wallet (in action) on the iPhone:
