Now this is a C.U.T.E. little guy! Meet Mr.Samuel. Samuel just turned 5 years old in April and just happens to be the son of my little boy’s 4th grade teacher! My Jackson has had such a WONDERFUL 4th grade year; and, it was my joy to have the opportunity to meet his teacher’s son and spend some time hanging out with him the other night. Samuel is full of life and all boy! He loved to throw rocks, and jump and play and every little thing that boys are supposed to do. I loved it! Samuel is adorably charming and has a killer smile, too. 🙂 Samuel, thanks for playing with me the other night. I love the photos we captured for your precious momma! Brandi, I hope I was able to do this cute little man some justice. He is awesome…but I am sure you already know that! 🙂 Enjoy your sneak peek!

I love, love this one! Such a serious, but sweet look all at the same time!

And, those eyes?? Love ’em!!

See…told ya…all boy and beyond adorable!

I can hardly believe it has already been a year since I photographed this gorgeous little face:
Saturday was a crazy afternoon for photographing and we almost cancelled this session due to dark clouds and some sprinkles on our way into the Botanic Gardens. But…we were all there and they were dressed and ready to go! So we went for it. I’m so happy we did. Adam Stephen is clearly the little clown in the family. He was b.u.s.y!! Wow! On the go the whole time, but so adorable. Our main purpose was to photograph him for his one year portraits. Here’s a few of my favorites.

This was SO him…love it!

We also managed to squeeze in some family shots including big sisters Isabel and Iris as well as Mom and Dad. Aren’t they just the most beautiful family? Seriously! 🙂 On this first one, I know that they aren’t looking at the camera, but I love that they are laughing and so natural looking. So cute!

So adorable! You’ve got to have a picture of Iris in the irises, right?

And, beautiful Isabel…

I love this family! I have certain customers that have been with me from almost day one of me starting this business. And, they are not only customers any longer…they are my friends! These girls were as excited to see me when I walked up as I was to see them. We just had FUN together which is my favorite way to handle a session. The main purpose of this session was to get some great family shots of the 4 of them. It was a challenge at times, however, because we had such a narrow focus it made it easier in way because I had a full hour to concentrate on getting what she wanted out of the session. Mia and Anna, Miss Julie loves you girls….and your Momma and Daddy, too! 🙂

Meet Aiden! He just turned One-Year-Old recently and this session was to celebrate that milestone. We captured some precious looks from him as well as had some great ones that included his family as well. And, pu-leeze, those eyes?? Are they not absolutely gorgeous? Melt me now. Happy Birthday, baby boy. You are a sweetheart! 🙂

Oh, sweet baby boy! Beckett was such a little angel for me at his session last week. We were thankful to get the session completed in-between the rain storms Memphis has had so very much the last few weeks. It was joyous to have a beautiful spring day of sunshine and warmth to celebrate the birth of this sweet little boy. I had photographed big brother Hudson for his newborn session, too. Love these boys. Congratulations to this beautiful family of four! So happy for you! 🙂

I love, love, love photographing newborns outside. Mr.Beckett was entirely happy and content to be outside and enjoying the beautiful day! 🙂

I love Mini Sessions!! They go by so very quickly and I get the opportunity to interact with so many different families. It is such a joy. Some “old” faces and some “new” faces…but all beautiful faces! 🙂 God provided us a lovely spring evening to enjoy and photograph. Thanks to everyone who participated. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

First up was Miss Abigail. A quick shoot just for her since she ended up being sick the day of her session a couple of weeks ago. These smiles made it worth trying a 2nd time around!

Next was a new 1:17 family, and I so loved these two cuties. I ended up with soo many cute photos of these two. Meet Reese and Ryan!

Anna Grace and her brother, Peyton were up next. I hadn’t seen Anna Grace since I had shot her newborn session and couldn’t believe how big she was. 18 months and 7 months can definitely be a challenge to photograph together, but I am pleased with our results and love these two little smiles! 🙂

I usually photograph these next two, Addie and Trent, at my Mini Sessions in the fall. We switched it all up this time and did their session in the spring. To add to the fun, we added in their Mom and Dad for this set. I adore the love and joy this family shares. The snuggles are the best! 🙂

Jackson was next, and he’s getting SO big I can hardly stand it! I have photographed him since he was around 4 months old, and he is about to be 2 years already. His brown eyes are so soulful…they just melt me! Love him!

I photographed Miss Molly, her sister, Adalynn, as well as her mom at her newborn session in January. This spring it was time for all the family, including Dad, to get a portrait together. Again, photographing a 21 month old and a 3.5 month old can be very challenging; however, this family just smiled and looked beautfiul through the entire thing. Arent’ they all just gorgeous? 🙂

I haven’t seen this family in about 3 years and it was so good to reconnect! These sweet sisters have added a brother into the mix and this session was mostly about capturing him at this age. He has these a-maz-ing blue eyes…swoon! 🙂 However, we had to do a quick one with all three of them! Love it!

Last up for the night was one of my favortie sets of twins…Katie and Erika! These precious sisters have become somewhat of my Mini Session “regulars” and they did such a good job Saturday night. Like many others, this was their first session with me in the Spring instead of Fall. I so enjoyed seeing them in their sweet white dresses and sharing love with each other. It was the perfect ending to a fabulous night! 🙂

It is always a privilege and so much fun to see a family year after year and watch their child grow. I first photographed Miss Norah when she was a newborn and I can hardly believe how grown up she has become. I think I have hair envy over those gorgeous blond locks…oh my word! And, the little pink glasses?? Don’t get me started. As the momma of a little boy who wore glasses since he was 3 years, I have a special spot in my heart for little cuties with their glasses…and the fact that they are pink just is perfect! We had great time playing around at My Big Backyard the other night; however, if it was up to Norah Grace, I am pretty sure the entire session would have taken place on the swings. She looooved them! Thank you, Jessica and Andrew for sharing your “baby” with me year after year! Enjoy!

A few with her Mom and Grandma…so sweet!

Oh my word, what a sweetheart! You are going to loooove this baby girl. Miss Isabella Kate is a precious little love. So very well behaved for her photo session and so very loved by her family. She is the 3rd child of our friends from church, Scott and Jennifer and the new little sister to Olivia and Jack. The whole family is smitten with her and it’s easy to see why. I just loved her nursery and the shabby-chic look. So much character! We spent almost the entire session in there due to the great light and the perfect surroundings. I am so very happy for your family! Isabella, you are a blessed little girl and so very loved. Welcome, sweet baby! 🙂

Newborn grin! 🙂

Soo lovin’ the tutu!

A few with big brother and sister!!

Another sweet boy has gone from this…

To this!! Wow! What a cutie-patootie! Love him and his cuteness! Happy First Birthday, sweet boy! 🙂

Thank you for sharing this precious little boy with me! You’ve got a sweetheart with him! 🙂

I just loved this family! As we were finishing up their session, I told them that I think they are the kind of family that my family would enjoy hanging out with on a Friday night. 🙂 Just a family full of love, fun and laughter. Three children can sometimes be a challenge to capture, but not with these cuties. They seemed to have a great time at the Gardens exploring the beautiful, spring evening and just goofed-off with one another and laughed. Love it! Enjoy this sneak peek and thank you to the “G” family for a great evening! Y’all are just great! 🙂

Love, love, love this set of ones of the kids. 🙂
