Mini Session

Ella Brooke – Madison Alabama Field at Golden Hour

When this little girls mom started sending me photos of what she had in mind for this session it was very obvious she was drawn to the “golden hour” light.  The hour before sunset and the hour after sunrise are simply magical.  It is warm and golden, flattering and not harsh.  There are many photographers who will not shoot natural light photography any other time of the day!  I wasn’t sure if she was going to go with the idea of a 7:00-7:30am start time (With a 3 year old!) but she was COMMITTED!!!  It was SO worth it!!!  The light in these first few is just gorgeous and Ella Brooke looks like a china doll to me <3

This photo shoot was in honor of her birthday!  Her mom and I are good friends and I can tell you first hand that Ella Brook is smart and spunky, beautiful and determined.  Everything a true southern girl is made of!  Happy birthday Ella Brooke, you are beautiful in every way :-)

Nathan Turns 8! – Creekwood Park Madison Alabama

I have been working with Nathan’s mom for a bit now and after they had their annual family pictures (it was a gorgeous session on Madison Nature Trail) she decided she wanted to do something special around each of her kids birthdays.  She wanted to do a mini session that was all about them, in an environment that would showcase their uniqueness and individuality.  We did her oldest daughters session at the Huntsville Library and it was awesome to watch her come alive with a book in one hand and her American Girl doll in the other!  Last week it was Nathans turn…  This is truly the perfect environment for his personality to shine through!  We met at Creekwood Park in Madison AL and I simply loved how comfortable he was the whole time.  It’s amazing how when a child is having fun you don’t ever have to tell them to smile :-)  I can’t wait for it to be time for her youngest to get her own mini session!  We have some really fun things planned!!!

My Muse – Madison Alabama

I continually am blown away by this little peanut.  She has been sprouting some freckles over the past year and I absolutely LOVE them!!!  They never seem to show up in photos though so today while she was playing outside I saw them and wanted to see what I could do about actually getting them to show up in a photo.  I am incredibly biased but I think she is absolutely beautiful <3  It only took less than 5 minutes to get all of these.  It makes me wonder why I don’t force myself to take more “nice” photos of my kids…

Alexis Turns 10! – Huntsville Alabama City Library

This session was SO MUCH FUN with lots of giggles and snuggles!!!  Alexis is turning 10,  she LOVES books and her American Girl Doll :-)  I had an American Girl Doll when I was little and it brought back so many memories <3  A library session has been on my bucket list for a long time and I am so pleased with how it turned out!!!

The McGuire Kids – Creekwood Park Madison Alabama

These two were SO happy!!!  I am in love with more than one of these <3  It was just a quick mini session but I had a really hard time sorting through and finding the 10 best ones…  (their mama is going to get a few extra ;-) )

Anna Burk – Cotton Field Madison Alabama

Oh how I love working with kids!!!  There is something truly beautiful about how their eyes are totally honest and true.  This is not the first time I have worked with Anna and each time I just can’t get over her eyes.  They are the most cristal blue and to be honest I don’t know that photos do them justice.

I have been dying to do a photo session in a cotton field ever since last year!  Anna’s mini session was a perfect opportunity and it didn’t hurt that her mom said “I trust you” when I asked her if she had a location in mind, music to a photographers ears!!!  Around here we call it Alabama snow.  I love it!!!
