When I was a little girl, I remember at family functions my Grandmother would pause and look around the room at our big family. She would then look over at my Grandfather and say something along the lines of “Honey, will you look at what we have done?” She was so proud of all of us and she loved that it all started just because her and my grandfather fell in love. I couldn’t help but to think of that when I was photographing this family last week. All because these two right here fell in love:

All of this happened! I know that they are so VERY proud of their family!

I had such a wonderful time hanging out with all of them. You’ll probably recognize my little friends Matthew and Lainey and their awesome parents. I so enjoyed getting to meet the rest of the “T” family the other night. Truly some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They just laughed and had fun together! Can’t ask for anything more than that. I hope you all love your little sneak peak. So many more great ones to come! 🙂

A few with the entire bunch:

Mothers and Daughters…

Kayleigh and Jackson…

And, my sweeties Matthew and Lainey…

Such a lovely family…have I said that yet? 🙂 Thanks, y’all!

Beautiful Taylor…

November 14, 2011

I just love this time of year! The leaves are changing, the weather is beautiful, and pretty little girls start showing up at my photo sessions with their Christmas dresses on! That can only mean one thing, Christmas is around the corner! 🙂 I met up with 3-year-old Taylor and her fun parents the other morning at the Botanic Gardens. It was one of those rather chilly Fall mornings and poor Taylor was freezing! It took a while for her to “warm up”, poor baby girl. Once we got her mind off of her being so cold, we ended up with some fun photos, great smiles, and pensive big-eyed looks that I just love. Sweet girl! Enjoy!

Oh my goodness! I LOVE THIS SESSION! These boys are sooo funny and just a joy to be around. These are the sons of my dear friends, Brian and Laura, and I just adore these little hams. They are all boy…rambunctious, moving around, making silly faces, laughing at “those” words…all boy! But, there’s just something so charming and adorable about their personalities that make you just want to hang out with them all day long. I cannot imagine the amount of laughter that must happen on a daily basis at their home because of their little jokes. Just love it! I dare you not to smile as you look at these. And, just remember, these are just a small taste of all the fun faces and “poses” their momma gets to choose from. LOVE!! 🙂

Caroline and Mary Taylor…

Take a moment out of your busy day and look at these sweet little sisters! I love when children show up at their session full of smiles and personality…and these two were not short in either category! Not only were Caroline and Mary Taylor loads of fun to photograph, they are just really, really beautiful! I love their little interactions together. Sisters just have that special communication that is so amazing. And, all those pure, genuine smiles and laughter you see below? They are courtesy of their awesome mom who wasn’t afraid to “shake it” and give her girls something to laugh about. Gotta love that! I truly did love my time spent with these girls, and their sweet mom! I could’ve stayed photographing them all day! Thanks for you sharing your morning with me. Enjoy your sneak peek! 🙂

Houston and Campbell…

November 2, 2011

It is always a bittersweet session when I do the final installment of a Little Gifts Newborn Club. Saturday, it was sweet Campbell’s turn for her “1 year” session. It’s so hard to believe that in a little more than a year, she has gone from this:

To this!

Sweet, sweet baby girl! Campbell shared this session with her very thoughtful big brother, Houston. I was so excited to see these two together. I have so enjoyed working with this wonderful family for the past four years. It is such a joy to share in these special memories. I hope you love what you see here, Bronwen and Alan. I adore your sweet children. Thank you for sharing them with me year after year! Enjoy! 🙂

Tripp, Mary Kate and Family!

November 2, 2011

It seems like it was just yesterday that I was at this family’s home to photograph little Tripp at just a few days old. And, now he is sitting and smiling, and bringing along the entire family for a photo session! I can’t believe how big this little guy is getting! So sweet and fun. We captured some of him for his 6 month portraits, but also included his big sister, Mary Kate, too. And, Mom and Dad got in on the fun as well. I am so pleased with how great these turned out. I am just in love with these little ones’ eyes. They are absolutely STUNNING! Wow!! And, no wonder, look how gorgeous their mom and dad are! Thank you so much “G” family for another great session. I hope you love what you see here…more heading your way soon. Enjoy! 🙂

I hate to repeat myself, but…hello!! Gorgeous eyes, y’all! 🙂

Davidson, Harry and Mac…

November 2, 2011

A crisp fall morning+3 energetic little boys=Loads of Fun!! I had such a ball running around with these three absolutely gorgeous little boys! Davidson and Harry, the two oldest brothers, and I go way back! We are old friends and have done many sessions together. This time they brought along their “new” little brother, Mr. Mac! This is by far my favorite session I’ve done with this family. We did the session on the campus of Rhodes College. It was a “full circle” type of moment for the mom as she went to Rhodes as a student and also had her Bridal Portraits done there as well. I love that! The boys were SO good! I was so very proud of them as it takes a lot of patience on each of their parts to get three little boys to be still enough for a photograph! But, we got more than just one. We ended up with so many cute ones of the 3 of them. I’m super excited to share them. “A” family, your boys are awesome and I just love them. Thank you for continuing to trust me with your family’s photographs year after year. Enjoy! 🙂

Wow! This family is SO beautiful and SO much fun! We met up this past Saturday morning on the ahh-mazing campus of Rhodes College, and enjoyed some of the most dazzling fall color we’ve seen in quite some time. Amy, the mom, did such a wonderful job in picking out clothing that stood out, yet beautifully complimented the colors of the season, and everything just came together to make for some beautiful photographs. I loved these children! So charming, funny, and just absolutely adorable in every aspect. They kept me smiling and laughing the entire time…just like we were old friends! “K” family, thank you so much for sharing your family with me. I hope you love your sneak peek! So many more to come! 🙂

Lovely Little Lacy and Lexi!

October 26, 2011

Look at these two precious little sisters! They are long-time and faithful customers of mine, and even though I see them more often than not, I still cannot believe how big they are getting. We had ALOT of laughs yesterday, and I loved my time spent with them. Little Lexi just turned 2 years old, and the majority of the session was focused on her 2-yr-old pictures, but we did change toward the end and grabbed a few with big sister, Lacy. Thanks, as always for the fun morning little ones! 🙂

My favorite of the day! Just pure fun and love, right there! 🙂

Sarah and Ellie Grace!

October 24, 2011

I’ve known both of these beautiful girls since they were moments old, and I love them as if they were my very own! These are the daughters of my best friend, Steffanie and her husband, Jason. Sarah is literally growing up before my very eyes, and is such a smart and beautiful little girl. And, Miss Ellie, is just a cutie! She practically lives at my house and is my little Isabella’s best buddy! I haven’t photographed them in almost two years. So, last week during Fall Break we took advantage of a beautiful day, dressed them up, and they came over for a quick shoot in my backyard. I am thrilled with our results, and Stef, hope you are, too! Your babies are so gorgeous! Enjoy! 🙂

Miss Sarah…

Miss Ellie Grace…

Love these girls!!
