Destin & Michael

What a wonderful maternity photo shoot! I adored working with these two! They were so excited about the impending birth of their Hazel!

Claybrooks

This family was wonderful! Their Mom was not at home when I arrived, and although the Dad was a little flustered at first, having to handle two kids & a photographer he'd never met, he did an AWESOME job! I bragged & bragged to his wife when she arrived! Again, we had one of my favorite sessions - just laying around doing nothing - just being! Thanks JD for having me photograph your beautiful family!

Towns

I've been so excited about showing the following video... Towns at about 12 months. I not only followed them around with a camera while he & his family played but, I also captured their interaction on video. It's an idea I've been toying with for a while now - combining media! I'll definitely be working with this idea more!!

Aidah

I'm really not just saying this because the past two babies have this name - but one of my favorite names is Ada (or Aidah, Adah or even Aida!) I think it's a simple yet sweet, sweet name! Which fits these babies perfectly! This little Aidah is my dear friend Shanda's baby. They up & moved to Colorado so I have to fit in pictures whenever I can! She's a cutie!

Adah @ 6mos

Ahhh...Adah!! I love this cutie-patootie! I also love her parents who are so creative & willing to do whatever I ask (as long as I do whatever they ask!) I always enjoy my couple of hours with them and feel that we consistantly make the cutest images! I can't wait to see what we come up with for her 12 month pictures...

Newborn Tuckie

As you may remember I had the privilege of photographing this baby's 1st few moments here on Earth - what an experience! The privilege continued & I caught her newborn action a few days later. I think she was maybe eight days old in these pictures. I can't wait to watch her grow these next 12 months!!

Newborn Ella

Sweet Ella! I've been fortunate enough to document her sister's 1st two years of life & am on track to do the same with this piece of sweetness!! Her cute-as-pie sister, Savannah, is handling her new baby sister really well and is eager to give up the photography spotlight! We will let her slide this time - but expect lots more of both these cuties in the future!

The Whitneys

I was so impressed with this family! For Christmas, the adult children of this couple gave them a gift that will last for years & will be treasured more & more as it ages... They gave them a photography session with me - which in turn meant that the family spent a couple hours together, hanging out, enjoying each others company & making memories that can never be replaced!

I loved that EVERY member of this family was willing to do whatever I asked them to do for the sake of their images! Isn't this a great picture? Doesn't it show what a fun family they are?

Everyone was so cute - the kids were just precious!

Seriously, the love in the air was palpable!

Collier @ 1

This was Collier's 1 year photo shoot - I cannot believe this boy is now one! Remember when he was a tiny little newborn? Born nearly 2 months early? I can!

Here's the good news though... his Mama & Daddy are giving me yet another chance to photograph their family... Baby #2 is on his/her way!! Can't wait!

On another note, see that cute lady at the top there? She's the star of one of my all time favorite photos!

Blanche & Frazier

What an honor it was to photograph this special wedding! Not only were these two joining their lives together BUT they were joining the lives of their four boys! Poor Blanche, she is definitely outnumbered in her house now!

The wedding took place in the LaGrange College Chapel on a beautiful autumn day!

I love these next images. Their reception was held at a new restaurant downtown - the wedding & reception was suppose to be family only, but apparently there is NO stopping Blanche's friends...they surprised her at the restaurant to send them off with well wishes!

Lyders Family

I visited this family under the auspices of photographing their baby but, she didn't want ANYTHING to do with me! She cried & cried the 1st hour I was there (you can see how red her face is in the 1st picture). Luckily, her older sister didn't mind having me around... However, we persevered & finally I was able to capture the baby's sweetness! I especially loved photographing the whole family (by whole I mean the cat too!)

Change is a comin'

I photographed these three boys on two separate days - but all three had something in common...their worlds were about to completely change... both Mama's were pregnant with sisters...

I am so far behind with blogging that I am embarrassed to say that 5 months later - both Moms had their sweet baby girls & the worlds of these boys did not stop spinning...although I'm sure things are a little different these days!

My main man Anderson

Can you believe this boy's Mama? Yes, she paid me to embarr-ass her sweet son! But, isn't he cute? I could just pinch those cheeks... the outfit is one that his dad actually wore... you know 30+ years ago...

I can't believe in a few weeks I'll photograph his 3 year old birthday party! His sweet Mama was one of my 1st clients - where does the time go?
