A Little Throwback…

April 2, 2014

…to the Fall of last year! This precious family is one of my absolute favorites to photograph! I’ve been photographing them since sweet Brooke, the oldest sister, was an only child many years ago. As the years have gone by, the “B” family just keeps growing and growing!! In these photographs, there are five precious children. And, only a week or so after this session, another sweet boy was added to this family as well. What a JOY and blessing! ย I love how Beth always uses her own home as the background of her portrait sessions, giving her kids not only memories of one another; but, also memories of the home they are growing up in as well.

It is impossible to spend time with this family, and not share in their happiness. They exude love, kindness, and just the joy of one another and the knowledge of the gifts the God has granted to them. These photos were taken for their family Christmas card back in the Fall, and though we chose not to blog them at the time to save them for the card, I just couldn’t stand not to share a few more of this amazing group of kids and their sweet parents. John and Beth, I always love spending time with your family. Your family is all about joy, and I just love that!! Thanks for sharing them with me!

Welcome, Lee Watson!!

I couldn’t be happier for this precious family! Lee Watson, you are a blessed little boy and have been born into one of the best families around! Welcome, sweet boy! And, congratulations to my sweet friends and big brother, Joey! ๐Ÿ™‚

Welcome, Linley Paige!

December 5, 2013

Oh, how I loved this session! Beautiful sweet baby girl, beautiful family, beautiful home and amazing colors! Meet sweet little Linley who made her appearance just about two weeks ago. Due to holidays and yucky weather, her session was a bit later than my normal newborns, but she was a great baby! Slept like a champ and even smiled really big for her first official family portraits with Mom and Dad. It was too cute! Honestly the only smiles I got from her was when she was being held by her parents-this girl already knows she’s got it good! ๐Ÿ™‚ Even though she slept great, you could already see her cute little personality shining through. She kept us laughing the entire 3 hour session-quite a feat for a two-week-old! Congratulations to this precious family! So happy for you all!ย 

Sister of my heart…

November 21, 2013

This is my girl, my dear friend! I met Steffanie and my husband, Jack within weeks of each other when I was 16 years old. And, my life has never been the same since! I’ve talked to her almost every day since the first days we met as juniors in high school. Her daughters are like my own and I love them all so very much. It’s been many years since I’ve photographed their entire family, and I love our results. So proud of this crew! Enjoy your sneak peek….so many more! ๐Ÿ™‚ย 

Welcome, Wills!

November 21, 2013

Sweet baby Wills has made his grand entrance into the world! Son of Claudia and William and little brother of my sweet little friend, Mary Frances who has graced my camera lens many times herself, little Wills was a champ at his session. He was such a good boy and let us play with him as much as we wanted. A photographer’s little dream! I always love working with this family and couldn’t be happier for them as their family grows. Congratulations to you all! I just love your newest addition. He is one lucky little guy to have you all as his family! ๐Ÿ™‚

I love these images so very much! This is my beautiful baby sister and her lovely family at their new home! There’s something special about photographing a family in their familiar surroundings that make it something unique. Even though my sister is my “little” sister, I look up to her and admire her so very much. She’s a pretty amazing lady whom I love and adore more than I could ever say. So, this little gift is for her. Because every Mommy loves beautiful photos of her family. ย Enjoyโ€ฆcan’t even tell you how many more there are to choose from. Whoops! Got a little happy on the shutter!ย Love you guys! ๐Ÿ™‚

Welcome, Taylor!

November 6, 2013

Look at this happy girl! She is smiling because she knows how blessed and beautiful she is! This is the new “surprise” baby girl of my great friends. Sometimes, God’s plans are different than our own-and isn’t it AWESOME when God gives us surprises like this. Taylor was a perfect angel baby for her newborn session. Still can’t believe she is here! I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to watch this baby grow from the very beginning and also to capture some of her first days at home. Congratulations to all of you-Jason, Jen, Morgan, Blake, Alexa and Taylor! God has richly blessed your family! BrownleeNB08CR My beautiful friend! Love you! This melts my heart! Such a beautiful family, Jen & Jason!ย 

Andrew is ONE!

November 6, 2013

Amazing the change a year can make! Look at this sweet boy last year and now! He definitely has always had his own signature look=cuteness! ๐Ÿ™‚ Andrew’s one year session was such fun. He just made me smile with his awesome crawl/walk on his knees he has going on. It was the best!! And, he brought along big sister, Emily and both Mom and Dad, too, for some family photos. It was a fun morning with this family. I’ve so enjoyed this last year with them and sad to know it’s over. Happy first birthday, sweet Andrew!! ๐Ÿ™‚ย 

I just love the complete JOY on his little face on this next one!

Emily’s face on this oneโ€ฆ.LOVE!! hehe.ย  Love Andrew’s smile here! Baby High Five! Untitled-1

Here’s Maddox!

November 6, 2013

I just love this cute kiddo! Maddox is just one of those completely adorable little guys that steals your heart pretty much right away. Last year, we met briefly for a quick mini session and this year we got a full session to hang together on the most perfect of fall evenings in Memphis, TN. He even brought along his equally awesome parents, too! Love this session and all the beautiful fall colors. Hope you guys love this sneak peek! So many more to come! ๐Ÿ™‚

Aren’t they just beautiful? Wow!! Sweet, sweet girls. It’s always fun to have the opportunity to meet someone’s children. These two angels are the daughters of someone who takes really good care of my own sweet daughter as well as myself with all of our asthma and allergy issues. So much fun for me to have the opportunity to meet her adorable girls and get to know them. Loved the fall leaves and the love that happens when you ask a sister to hug another. Maren and Linden-y’all are just precious! ๐Ÿ™‚ AbstonTurns15
