She's Here! | Montgomery, AL Newborn Photographer

Our little bundle of love, Anna Claire, arrived on May 27th at 11:53am weighing 7lbs 6oz and 19.5 inches long. She is just such a joy and we are having so much fun with her. Big Sister Ella was so excited for her arrival and has been so sweet with her. We're pleased because we didn't know quite what to expect with a 2 year old! :-) I've been busy taking lots of pictures of her...just having a little bit of difficulty finding time these days to edit them all! We did an official newborn session with her on day 8 and my photographer friends Lori Mercer and DiAnna Paulk came over to help me with posing...it's much harder with your own baby! Anna did so well for us and slept "like a baby" almost the entire time. Here's just a few that I've taken since she arrived:

Scheduling Update

I'm now almost fully booked through October. If you're interested in a session this year with prints back before Christmas, please contact me as soon as possible. Thanks so much! :-)

*Edited to add: We are scheduled for an induction next Wednesday, May 27th, so if you contact me after that time, my response time may be a little bit slower than normal. Don't worry, I will email or call you back as soon as possible though. Thanks!

Almost 3 Years Old

I met with Mr. "H" and his family yesterday at Shakespeare to capture some images of him at 3 (well, a few weeks shy of 3 anyways). I've been photographing him since he was about 4 months old (one of his 2 year photos is in my blog header), but this was the first time we did a family picture. And what a photogenic family they are too! We had fun blowing bubbles, climbing on walls, and doing lots of other things that boys like to do...like look at bugs! :-) Thanks Jamie and Laura...I'll have your gallery ready soon!



This also marked my last session before my maternity leave so I won't have any sneak peeks for awhile. But, I do plan to post images from my newborn session with my new daughter sometime in June, so please check back then! :-)

11 Days Old | Montgomery, AL Newborn Photographer

I spent the afternoon with this little bundle of sweetness yesterday. It took us awhile to get her into a sound sleep because she didn't want to miss out on any of the fun, but once she was out, she was so squishy and cuddly and let me put her into some really fun positions. I love how I was able to use her feet as a head rest in the first picture! :-

Family of Four | Montgomery, AL Children and Family Photographer

I had fun playing this morning with Miss "A", her sister Miss "K" and their mom and dad at Southern Homes and Gardens. We got together to get a few family images and some shots of Miss "A" since she'll be two in a few short weeks. The last time I saw them was in October of last year and both girls have grown and changed a lot since then. They were both so sweet and such great little models!

At the Park with Miss "E" | Montgomery, AL Children's Photographer

Early yesterday morning I met with Miss "E" and her parents at Shakespeare to take some 18 month pictures. She did such a great job! I probably had a whole gallery of images after about 15 minutes. I've had a hard time choosing which ones to share because I have a lot of favorites. ~ Thanks Carianne and Troy...it was good to see you!

Busy Brothers

My second session today was with some good friends of ours. The dad and my husband have been buddies for a long time...he was even a groomsman in our wedding! So I feel very honored to be able to photograph their children and watch them grow up. Mr. "H", the youngest, wasn't too sure of me and my camera at first, but it didn't take him too long to warm up and give me some great smiles. Mr. "S", the older brother, was a natural in front of the camera right away and knew just was to do for each picture. ~ Ernie and Elizabeth, it was so good to see you today!
