Two beautiful sisters. One with personality to share that just oozes out of her. The other sweet and shy. One of the joys of working with a family year after year is that we all become very comfortable with one another. I’ve photographed these sisters for many years. Miss Ana is such fun. She loves to perform for my camera and I literally could just play with her all day long. She is the kind of child that a photographer loves to shoot as she is constantly coming up with something fun to capture. And little Mia just melts my heart. I first shot her as a newborn and she was not too happy that day. We did a couple of sessions last fall and she also was a bit “temperamental”. This past time, she started out all smiles…until I asked Anna to hug her…note to self, not a good idea! 🙂 So, finally, because her momma and daddy trust me, Mia and I just walked away for a bit and worked together on our own with no one else around and it worked like a charm! I love you both, girls! Thanks for making my job such a joy!

This past Saturday was a very busy day. I had three sessions at the Botanic Gardens. One in the morning, two in the evening and all very different. My first session of the day was for a family with four children ages 9 months to 8 years! I’ll be honest, it is a little nerve-wracking heading into a photo session with four children as you never really know what you are going to get. I shouldn’t have worried though…this family was so adorable and well-behaved. And, believe it or not, they drove all the way from Oxford, MS to work with me. I am very humbled and really loved working with this precious crew! I just know you all will have such fun growing up together and making memories. Here’s just a few from our time together, enjoy!

Aidan’s Mommy contacted me wanting some pictures of her and the main man in her life. What a great idea! I have photographed Aidan since he was about 3 months old and now look at this little guy. He is so gorgeous and his Momma is so sweet. Just love this family! I was thrilled to do a short little Mini Session for them at my home last week. I had a blast trying out all my new little spots in our newly landscaped yard and it was such fun seeing the little spots I had imagined for my customers come to life with little Aidan. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Happiness. That’s what I see when I look at this family. Long time clients, I’ve enjoyed seeing them once a year and seeing how much they have grown-up. Its happening so quickly, too! These guys love to laugh and have fun together. And they are absolutely adorable to look at and the camera loves them. I love this first image. I know, it may not be “picture perfect” but in my mind, it is perfect. See the smiles? See the laughter? See the snuggling? See the fun? See the dirt on the bottom of his little foot? That is life and this is a little glance into their everyday life. That’s what I want to capture for you. A look into your life. A moment in time that passes by all too quickly. Thanks for a fun morning, Briar and Bronson!

Beautiful Ella! Love this girl. I’ve photographed Miss Ella before but she was just a baby…and now look at this gorgeous thing! I was amazed at her personality and happiness with life. I am beginning to think that four years old is a little magical in the life of a child through my camera lens. When I look at these photographs I can clearly see a little girl, almost a baby; and, yet, at the same time I can glimpse a moment of who she has yet to become. The lovely lady that is just starting to emerge. It’s just a glimpse…but it is there. Thanks for coming to see me again, Ella. You are such fun! 🙂

When I think about it, I can hardly believe that this family came back to work with me again. Surely they thought I was bad luck! At our last photo session about 2 years ago, sweet Jackson was still a baby and it was “one of those days” where everything seemed to go wrong. Ellie Grace wasn’t in the mood to take pictures that day and little Jackson was stung by a bee…in NOVEMBER?! It was a mess. When I mentioned this to their mom, she said “of course, I’d come back. Because even with all that you still managed to get some amazing photographs!” Awww, so sweet! See? I do have the best clients ever! Within the first three steps out the back door at the Botanic Gardens on this past Friday, little Jackson fell down and busted his head. His mom, dad and I just looked at one another and started laughing….really?! 🙂
Working with children definitely has its challenges. But, I wouldn’t change what I do for the world. Because, I have learned that with patience and perserverance comes some beautiful results. Jackson and Ellie Grace…you are beautiful!

Well, as if you haven’t noticed…summer has definitely arrived in Memphis! I went out last Friday morning to the Botanic Gardens to capture some One Year Old portraits of Miss Ann Dawson! And it was H-O-T!!! The humidity just about did us all in, esp. Ann Dawson; but, we stuck with it and captured some gorgeous shots of this little beauty. Her smile was infectious and her laugh was just adorable. Happy first birthday, pretty girl! The fun has just begun!
Oh my golly, don’t you just wanna give her a kiss?!

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! 🙂

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!

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! 🙂
