Y’all. I am most definitely not an official “pet photographer”…
However
I am completely addicted to documenting relationships, and this right here is exactly that. <3 I get requests somewhat regularly from clients to see if it is OK to bring their pet along with them to their shoot. My answer? “If you consider them to be a part of your family, ABSOLUTELY bring them!”
I also don’t shoot family sessions the months of December and January. I do allow for time sensitive circumstances such as a newborn, maternity and end of life situations…
When Ben contacted me, he explained that Ripley didn’t have much time left and he desperately wanted to document this pup that he considers family. ” I don’t suspect he’ll be around in a few weeks as he has bad arthritis and potentially some internal issue.” It broke my heart and couldn’t imagine saying no! As I have sat here in this chair editing all of these images, I can hear Ben talking to Ripley all through the session, just like you would your best friend. What they have is something really special, and as sad as I am for their time together drawing to a close, I am so very glad that Ben realized, before it was too late, how valuable having images of those you love, truly is.
I think Ripley has a similar smile to Harrison Ford. ;-)

I absolutely love watching families grow. I had the sweet opportunity to document the special time before their family changed forever with a family maternity session not long ago. I was overjoyed when she asked if I would do baby Mark’s newborn photos as well. <3
As I watched their oldest with “baby Mark”, he reminded me so much of my own oldest son, who was SO gentle and loving with our babies as we brought each one of them home. He would stroke his head, be concerned when he would cry, and did such a great job being careful not to bump him while we were playing on the bed.
These moments and memories are some of the most precious. As much as I try to shoot for technical “perfection” (or as close as anyone can get with kids that are always on the move), my real goal is to document and preserve those memories of the little things forever.
“Hindsight is 20/20”
Sometimes in the mess and the exhaustion of motherhood, it’s hard to see the moments for what they truly are as they are unfolding. The stress and pressure of parenthood is a very real thing. My hope for the families that I document, is that they are able to feel and remember the moments for what they truly were, without the stress and mess to cloud the view. It’s not about perfection, but instead, documenting the sweetness and simplicity that lasts for such a short time. I want the images to remind them of the beauty of “right now” every single time they see them.
I know there are wonderful parts about every stage in life, but THIS is one that I don’t ever want to forget, and I want to give that gift to other mamas as well.

I have had the pleasure of working with this sweet family once already for his mama’s maternity photos. It has been so beautiful to see two become three, and they are absolutely head over heals in love. (as they should be <3 )
This little guy showed up a bit early, so we had to shift some things around to make sure to get him documented before he grew out of his “fresh baby” stage, but OH MY GOODNESS, he was just perfection! He slept like a champ and couldn’t have been more precious.
I can’t tell you how much I love it when parents choose my grow with me plan. The experience of getting to track with a family through all the most amazing changes as their baby grows their first year, is such a special thing to be a part of. I can’t wait to watch him grow, and I can’t wait to see his parents love for him get even bigger than it already is.
In a past life, I thought I wanted to specialize in composite photography… Needless to say I ended up taking a *very* different road, but every once in a while, I look at an image and think, “That would be even more beautiful *if*…”. That was the case with this one. I don’t ever promise a composite piece, but when I get a creative itch, I just go with it. ;-)

I had the pleasure of photographing Emily’s senior photos this past year, and was so happy when Mary asked me to do their family photos as well! I am sure you can see for yourself, but this family is just… Sweet. They love laughing and I enjoyed our time together so much!

Can we talk for a minute about how precious this period of life is with little ones??? I mean, seriously. These boys were just precious with their shy smiles and carefulness with their little sister. In the exact same moments, their baby sister was busy lighting up the room with her infectious giggle and sunbeam smiles.
Y’all, it’s crazy having littles. They are so much WORK, but the emotional payoff (some days more than others) is worth every bit of it. The way they love with their whole heart, and the honesty is always on their face. These children of ours are the next generation, and that IS important. <3

My FAVORITE way to document a baby bump is to mix it with a family session. I love having the excitement of the rest of the family reflected in the images. I love capturing those moments of everything just as it is before their family dynamics change. I just love watching families grow. (Just a heads up, if we ever are talking about having more kids, my answer will always be “yes” have another one. lol)
I am the oldest of 6 kids, and I have 5 kids of my own. Honestly, it’s crazy y’all, but it’s so sweet, and SO worth it. THEY are worth it.
I’m not talking about financially clothing them in the latest trends and brands, or giving them a full ride through college. I am talking about bringing a new little soul in to this world. Loving them, clothing them (in secondhand clothes if needed) and teaching them to be kind, teaching them to have character and love with their whole heart.
I’m talking about the sweetness of having a large family.
It’s hard. It’s crazy. It’s worth it. <3

Every single time a past client chooses to come back to me for updated portraits, my insides do a little jig and I just cant help but smile. Y’all, I know it’s technically “just a job” but it’s not… I’ve got myself all tied up in these photos. I shoot the way I want to see my own moments. I want to remember all of the little things, from the way they wont put their favorite stuffed puppy down to the way their noses scrunch when they are truly happy. This time of life, when you can still pick them up for a snuggle, and they lean in to “nose kisses” is PRECIOUS! We get to have them this size for such a short time.
Drink. It. in.
So, yah… Being chosen to document something so precious, that changes so quickly, THAT is special, and that is what makes my heart SO happy when someone comes back to me. <3

This is the second photo session that I have had the privilege of doing for this sweet family, and both times, they have brought the kids grandparents along to be a part of it. Can I just say right now, if any of my clients ever ask if they can include grandparents in their photos, my answer will be YES! No extra charge, just “yes”. I come from a large family, and the depth and importance of family is something that should be celebrated. Not to mention, how special it will be for these boys to have these images with their grandparents when they are older.
We met up on a chilly morning in the heart of Downtown Huntsville. The light was just right, their family SO sweet, and I can’t think of a better way to start a weekend than chasing these two little boys around as they explore and document a family that loves so well.

The amount of joy I get from seeing parents love on their most favorite people is a little over the top. lol. Seriously though, I get home, off load my memory cards, back up the images, and then proceed to have a permanent grin on my face the whole time I am editing… I have literally wondered why my face muscles are sore, and then realized that I was editing for longer than normal earlier that day.
This family makes my face hurt. I can’t even stop smiling as I type this! This is their land, with their people, on an evening that was so gorgeous it made me sequel as it unfolded.
These moments y’all, they are priceless. Yes, I was there to document it all, but you know what makes these images so precious? It’s not the paper they will be printed on, instead it’s that they are now tied to memories of a time that this little boy was still small enough to fit on his mamas lap. They are valuable because he can sit on his daddy’s shoulders and that the adorable missing front tooth will soon be filled in with a new one. They are priceless because even though life is exhausting when you have little ones, it is also beautifully simple.
Cling to that simple beauty. It will disappear before you know it.

This family was amazing. Seriously. They suffered through all my bad jokes, (because all of my jokes are aimed at young children and total “eye rollers” for older kids) and attempts to get a genuine smile. lol.
Y’all, I admittedly shoot families with young children a lot more than ones with older kids. My talking points and jokes are admittedly rusty when I have someone older than 12 in front of my lens, but oh my goodness, they were just SWEET on each other.
Leah, thank you for inviting me in to this time in your life. Choosing a photographer to document your “right now” when things move so quickly, is an important decision, and I am SO happy that you chose me. Your family is gorgeous and your love for each other is what makes these images worthy of being a part of your families visual history.
