Sweet, Sweet Baby Girl

This is tiny Miss Abie. I photographed her mommy earlier this month during a maternity session. One word describes this baby: PERFECTION. She's absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for allowing to capture this precious time in her new little life. Congratulations guys!

Hope you like these as much as I do...

Look! A smile! From both beautiful girls!


A baby cocoon...


Eye contact! From a newborn baby! Isn't she adorable?


Sweet baby goodness...

Peel-y, just born baby feet...

One of my favorites...

Another one of my favorites...I'm really digging textures right now!

Yep. She's totally got him wrapped around her teeny little finger!

A sweet portrait of a brand new family.

The Magic of Christmas

I managed to snap this shot of my kids admiring the tree. We have to peel ornaments out of Brent's hands at least 10 times a day now! He just loves the tree and everything about it. The holidays are so much more fun with kids!!!

You Better Watch Out...You Better Not Cry...

We took Ashlyn and Brent to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop so that Ashlyn could tell him what she wants for Christmas. I really thought she would be nervous and speechless but she took one look at him and shouted, "There's Santa Claus!" I took my camera with us since the pictures were free and I'd much rather have done them myself instead getting some blurry ones off the store's point and shoot. But she walked right up to him, climbed up onto his lap and told him exactly what she wanted without a stutter. Brent sat on his lap merely for picture-taking purposes and just wasn't too sure about him.

I was so proud of her and how she had no fear. She was so excited. And when she was finished and she climbed down out of his lap, we began to walk away but not before she turned back around and asked, "Hey Santa Claus? Can I pet your reindeer?" So cute! Jade picked her up and leaned her over toward the stuffed reindeer and let her pat his nose.

I thought that Santa did a great job. He really looked the part! So real!

It made for a magical moment for my sweet 3 year old daughter. Ah, the innocence of childhood.

~Karen~ 36 weeks Maternity

Karen has the roundest baby belly I have ever seen! She just GLOWS with pregnancy! Makes me miss being pregnant. It's just so special. Those kicks and jabs are just so precious. Constant reminders that there's another human being growing inside you. It really IS the miracle of life.

She's expecting their first baby, a little girl. You'll get to meet her in a few weeks too. I'm so excited, I can't wait!

Thank you, Karen & Brad, for allowing me to capture this beautiful yet brief time in your soon to be busy lives!

Hope you like these as much as I do!

Bradley and Amber

These two have been together since they were 14 years old. Isn't that sweet?! Now they're married (and have been for over 2 years now) and still very much in love. Now everyone say, "Awwwwe."

What a sweet couple!

Mother & Son

There's something that has to be said about a mother's love for her little boy. I can attest to that. This little family of three (including Spike, their boston terrier) was undoubtedly very close. We did a session back at the Botanical Gardens and we weren't sure if they allowed pets, but we let Spike hang out with us for a little while and snap some pictures while no one was looking. (FYI: No pets allowed. There's a sign at the entrance)

Thank you, Janna, for letting me try to catch a glimpse into the life and bond between you and Ashford! (Who, by the way, is as handsome as can be, in case you didn't notice). I had a lot of fun!

Playing with Light...

I love experimentation and learning new things. I love figuring out the how's and why's of photography. I feel like this is what makes me grow as a photographer. Thank you, Erica, for letting me try something new! I LOVE rusty, colorful old trucks.

The Correll Family

What a sweet little family! The boys were so mindful of mommy but at the same time, they were spirited and itching to run free. (They did in between shots though) The boys are simply adorable and mommy is just so beautiful. She says she doesn't like to have her picture taken and I do NOT know why! She's gorgeous! I just love her natural curls!

Thank you so much for allowing me to do this session for you! Hope you like them!

The Walters Family

Here's the Walters family. We ventured out this morning and had a fun session at Watson Mill State Park. Such a well-put-together family! Here's a sneak peek into our session. I wished I had had more time to proof more than I did. Hope you like them!
