Over these past 7 (almost 8) years of shooting professionally, I have been invited in to so many different beautiful lives, and given a glimpse of what makes their heart truly happy. I ask about a combination of history, family, possessions and moments in my “preparation questionnaire” that all of my clients receive, as we plan out the details of their session. You see, those things, places and people give context for their images. It gives the viewer (even if they are a stranger) a peek in to the interests and heart of those who are represented in the images. Even more importantly though, the images will represent all the sweetness of this very moment in time to their owner. Right now. Before anything changes. I ask about interests in my questionnaire, because those interests are a reflection of who that person is, and what they choose to pour themselves in to and spend their time investing in.
When Nena asked me to come to the air field to take photos with her airplane and her grand babies, I just couldn’t resist. I am always game for changing things up (If you hadn’t noticed, I typically plant myself in the middle of a grass field, not an air field. lol) and immediately looked forward to getting a peek in to the source of her joy. As we talked, it was quite obvious that one of her favorite things to do is to “hop over” to Atlanta in her air plane to visit her grand kids. <3
I have had such a fun time editing these images. Sometimes, having a fresh perspective and a change of scenery is good for the soul. <3

Every once in a long while, I come across a session that makes me sad when I finish it. Not because there is anything wrong, but because I have enjoyed working on the images so much, that I hate to not have a reason to continue playing with, and looking at the sweet moments.
This is going to be one of those sessions. I can already tell. <3
It wasn’t too hot, the light was perfect, and all of the details just fell in to place. I can’t help but grin as I work through their gallery, fine tuning these memories for them to have for always. These images will forever be a part of their visual history, and I couldn’t be happier about how they turned out!!!
Tori and Devin, I hope you love them as much as I do. <3

I have been photographing this sweet little guy ever since he was in his beautiful mamas belly for her maternity photos. Then I got to take his newborn photos, and that was just such a joy to see the difference in his big brothers in such a short time. No this. OH MY GOODNESS! It didn’t take hardly anything to get the most adorable scrunchy nose grins from him. He is such a happy baby, and as you can tell, his big brothers think he is pretty great too. <3

The first time I photographed this family was in 2013. Leann was quite literally one of my first clients. To be honest, not many people who came to me back when I was $150 for 30 images have stuck with me through all of the changes over these past 7 years. I have grown professionally, my quality has gotten SO MUCH better, and of course, my prices have increased right along with my skill and education. I know all too well that budgets and pricing matters when you are looking for a photographer, and the names of so many amazing and sweet families have come to mind each time I have had to change my prices.
Just because I understand that those sweet families must find someone else that fits within their budget, doesn’t mean that it makes my heart hurt any less to see them go. Not because I “lost a client”, but because I absolutely LOVE seeing these precious families grow! I love documenting those changes. I love that I get to be a part of those special moments, and preserve them forever. It is a privilege that I don’t ever take for granted.
BUT
If I don’t fit your budget, I WANT you to find someone else! PLEASE document your families moments. Make it a priority, because these babies won’t keep. Your life is amazing! Find someone who can see the beauty in your unique reality. These precious children will grow up and a frighteningly fast speed, and if you don’t make sure to pay attention, document, and remember them just as they are now, these moments will slip away.
So when I look at these, and remember back to that first time I met Leann for her first family session, when she only had 3 kiddos, I see so many moments, growth, love and lots and lots of snuggles.
Thank you for choosing me, but also coming back, again and again, all these years. <3

If only everyone’s back yard looked like this… <3
But seriously, when she told me that the key to the mower had been lost, and the back yard was covered in yellow flowers, I just KNEW these would be amazing!
Berry picking, walking, jumping, flowers, exploring… It’s what memories are made of, and for this sweet family, all of those things can be found right outside their back door!

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.
