Wooo-wheeee!!! I am in LOVE with all of these images. I think that this background is one of my new favorites. So clean, classic and a focus on the subject. I love all of these families, and couldn’t be happier for all of them with the fabulous new portraits that they will soon having adorning their walls and homes. That’s enough from me. I’ll just let the rest of these speak for themselves. Thanks, friends, for sharing your families with me! They are all beautiful! 🙂

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!  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!

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! 🙂 

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.  Enjoy…can’t even tell you how many more there are to choose from. Whoops! Got a little happy on the shutter! Love you guys! 🙂

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! 

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! 🙂 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!! 🙂 

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

Emily’s face on this one….LOVE!! hehe.  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! 🙂

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! 🙂 AbstonTurns15

Kaitlin & AJ…

November 1, 2013

So, this happened this morning! This gorgeousness makes my heart so happy!! It was an absolutely perfect fall morning with my sweet friends Staci, Alan, Kaitlin and AJ! I’ve worked with these lovely people for years and actually photographed Staci and Alan when they were engaged  as well as photographing little AJ’s newborn photos. As we discussed this morning, it was like getting together with old friends today. I just love these guys! Every moment was just perfect. So great seeing y’all. Enjoy the sneak peek-there’s so much more to come!! 🙂

Lily is Two!

October 30, 2013

Miss Personality! Love this little one. She just makes me laugh SO much. Sweet Lily is two and I’ve been photographing her since she was just 3-months-old. She is soo funny and too cute. Big sis, Brianna, came along too and just couldn’t understand “why she couldn’t be in more pictures???” Too cute. So we just had to let her hop in on a few! Love this precious family and these sweet girls. Enjoy this sneak peek-much more of Lily’s personality is coming soon! 🙂
