Olivia and Carter

May 11, 2010

Last week was full of brother and sister pairs! Again, this sweet family is a loyal customer…thanks y’all! I first photographed Olivia when she was three and she just is becoming more beautiful by the day. What makes her so wonderful, though, is that she is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Just a precious little girl. And little Carter is right there with her. For a one year old, he was so cooperative and mellow! And, he is a little looker, too…just like his big sister. Loved working with you all again! You should be so proud of your children…they are amazing! ๐Ÿ™‚

Megan and Connor

May 11, 2010

Megan and Connor really make me laugh. They are such fun and I love how their Mom is constantly laughing along with them. They are such a wonderful family who I have had the privilege of working with for several years. I’ve said it before and will say it again. I am always very honored to have such loyal customers who continue to return to me year after year to capture memories for their family.

The main purpose of this session was to photograph Miss Megan for her two year old portraits. Big brother Connor came along for just a few, too. Megan didn’t really want to have anything to do with having a portrait made. She was much more interested in this great, big beautiful world that was out there to explore! However, we persevered and ended up with several great ones that really showcase her personality.

Megan and Connor, thanks for making my job so fun!

Gorgeous Timothy!

May 10, 2010

Check out this little man…isn’t he just gorgeous? I loved his serious personality because it allowed me the chance to capture his amazing and huge soulful eyes. Those eyes just speak to you, don’t they? I knew Timothy’s daddy in high school and it was such fun to catch up. Congratulations, Ryan, on having such a beautiful family. It was touching to see how proud you were of them and how very much you love your wife and son. And why wouldn’t you? They are wonderful!

Chace is One!

May 10, 2010

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly time passes by. I have so enjoyed getting to know Chace and his wonderful parents over this past year. Chace is one of our fabulous Little Gifts Newborn Club babies. Things I love about Chace: his smile, the quiet way he takes in the world, the way he makes me work to get what I want! He is such a cute little guy. I can hardly believe he has gone from this…

To this handsome fellow in just a few short months time. Thanks, Chace, for letting me share your first year. You are one handsome guy! You make me smile!

And this one just melts my heart for some reason. Can’t really pinpoint why…I just know it speaks to my heart! ๐Ÿ™‚

Cutie Kade!

May 8, 2010

I cannot believe this little man is already four years old. I have been photographing his gorgeous self since he was just a few months old. Look at these gorgeous eyes from his Six Month Session. Even then he was stealing my heart!

Now Kade is four years old and such a charmer. He is such a little people pleaser! I love that we have known one another for as long as he can remember. I love that his momma is now someone I am proud to call a friend. Without 1:17 Photography we might not have ever met, and she is such a great lady! We always have such a fun time working together and creating some wonderful pictures. Kade, you have grown up so quickly! I adore you, little guy! Keep on being adorable you! ๐Ÿ™‚

Brooke and Bo

May 5, 2010

I adore photographing families at their homes. It gives such a special significance to the photographs and the children are so comfortable as well. The other night, Brooke and Bo played with me at their home. The home was perfect for photographs…especially in the spring with the the gorgeous azaleas. We laughed, played peek-a-boo, follow the leader, and Miss Brooke even found a minute to color with her sidewalk chalk. When I saw this I snapped it quick and I think it is now one of my new favorites. I just love when kids “make their own pose”. I just happened to be lucky enough to be there as life played out. ๐Ÿ™‚ Beth and John, your children are adorable. I can see why you treasure them.

I love this idea! Betsy contacted us to photograph a Generational Picture to include herself, her mother and her daughter. What a wonderful thing to have! Having just lost my precious grandmother not too long ago, I can only imagine the joy and treasure that these photographs will come to be for this sweet family. I had such a great time with these ladies. Miss Grace had me laughing the entire time with her spunky personality. I loved her because she actually kept laughing at me…wow, I actually can be funny…to a four year old. See, I know my place. ๐Ÿ™‚ Family is such a gift and one of the best things about life!
