Here's John Michael

This little guy is the spitting image of his big brother!! I know it's hard to tell by this photo, but John Michael has beautiful red hair and he's got the most squeezable thighs! You know the kind of thighs you just can't help but squeeze!! Something else you probably can't tell from these pics is this little guy was a tad under the weather and didn't feel up to being in one spot. John Michael just wasn't his usual self today, so we are going take up where we left off today by spending some time outdoors in a couple of weeks to finish our session. So look for more images of this sweet guy in the near future!! Sorry, mom, things didn't go as expected, but I hope you like these sweet images of your adorable baby boy! Looking forward to seeing you guys again real soon!

Sweet and Dainty Ava Grace

Remember Colin from last week?? Well, this beauty is his cousin! And they were born 3 days apart! Meme, with daughters giving birth within days, I bet you did a lot of traveling back and forth!! Time well spent, I must say. Ava Grace was a ray of sunshine and a treat to photograph. And a talker, too! Ava Grace had many things to say today, even if it was to the flower, the Bama shaker, and the megaphone! Yep, she seemed delighted to play with those things and thought she should tell them about it! It was too cute! :)

An Old Friend

This pretty mama is an old friend of mine and I had the pleasure of taking her family pictures today. Kristi and I attended elementary school and high school together, and I even remember her spending the night with me when we were just little girls! And guess what? We are now neighbors! WOW! And just look at her beautiful family! Her youngest, Noah, is 3 months old and he is such a cutie! She also has a gorgeous step daughter, Madison and a beautiful 2 year old, Sam. And, of course, there's dad who is super, super nice. I just love getting back in touch with old friends! Thank you, Kristi, for letting me photograph your sweet family! I enjoyed it so much!! :)

Daddy's Girl

I started photographing this sweet little one when she was only a couple of months old and now Miss Maddie Klaire is a year old. Mom wanted some pics with her daddy so that is just what we did! Did you notice her precious gold bracelet? Well, let me tell you, Maddie Klaire also was wearing a ring and an add-a-pearl necklace. Daddy, this one is gonna break the bank!! Just get ready!! Maddie has two older brothers, but she is all girl. Maddie Klaire, you are precious, absolutely precious!

These Blue Eyes Will Melt Your Heart!!

The bright blue eyes, the red hair, a Bama fan. What a gorgeous combination! Isn't little Colin a cutie pie? I first his mom at a Halloween party several years back. She was dressed as "Annie". So now you know where Colin got his red hair! Colin was a joy to photograph and mom and meme were so helpful. We battled the mosquitos and the yellow jackets, and Colin's meme even got stung! The stings and bites didn't get us down! Armed with a determined photographer, mom and meme, Colin's photo session was saved! I enjoyed every minute!! Thanks a ton Colin, mom, and meme!!

Meet my new friend, Eli

I made a sweet new friend named Eli today. He and I became fast buddies and he even came up with some great photo ideas. Eli was very interested in photography and insisted on seeing each picture after it was taken. Of course I didn't mind showing him because he gave me lots of compliments with each picture I showed him!! Thanks, Eli! You were a lot of fun and you made my job easy!

Beautiful Brothers

This evening I got to meet Bennett and his big brother Braden for Bennett's 3 month portraits. After Braden's part in the session and after he showed me his "muscles" a few times, Braden and his dad played in our backyard until I finished Bennett's pics. Lucky, our Beagle-mix, was so happy to have Braden's company! :) And Bennett, well, he was just the perfect client. Aren't those big brown eyes captivating? Thanks little guys for a great photo session!!
