Showering Baby Demi Lee | Event

Capturing memories for people is why I am a photographer. You can never have enough pictures, and I’m always so excited to help capture the here and now for people to remember later.

A few weeks ago I was asked to photograph a special little baby shower for a sweet princess to be! When I say it was the perfect shower, it was. I’m so happy I could be a part of their day.

Amanda is a professional ballerina. I mean, Demi Lee has no idea how cool her mommy is, but I’m sure she will find out soon enough! And when I think of a ballerina, I think of a soft, graceful dancer. And today’s shower was just that, soft and graceful!

Enjoy a few of my favorite pictures from the shower. Food was catered by Olexa’s, flowers were designed by CeCe Design LLC, and it was held at The Nest.

Hannah | Teen

Our oldest niece, Hannah, came to stay with us for a few weeks this summer. Before she left to go back home we had a quick session in our front yard. This teenager has one crazy amount of thick, curly hair, but she rocks it with her contagious smile. It won’t be long before my brother-in-law will be showing his shotgun to the potential boys lined up at the door to date her!

Enjoy a few of my favorites from our five minute mini session early this muggy morning.

Maddie Clare | Head Shots

Maddie Clare, y’all, isn’t she gorgeous?! She is a sophomore at the University of Alabama, and will be rushing this fall. She needed some updated head shots and I was happy to take them for her.

I love when I get to photograph someone who loves to be photographed. It makes for a fun session, and the photos, well, they speak for themselves! Thank you for allowing me to capture this time in your life, MC!

Here are a few of my favorites from her session!

The Reyes |Kids

The Reyes family have become sweet friends of ours. The friendship started off last year during Preschool and Mother’s Day Out. Our kids are the same age, and were in class together. Once they became friends, Lindsey and I were introduced and we became fast friends. We found out in May that this sweet family is moving to another state at the end of summer. And, well, we are crushed. My kids ask everyday to see Stephen, Becca and Mae, and I know once they move many tears will be shed. So, we are spending as much time together as we can this summer to make memories.

Lindsey wanted some updated pictures of her littles, and the weather has not been cooperating on the days we have planned. So, we got up EARLY this morning, and the outcome was perfection!

Enjoy a few of my favorites of Stephen, Becca, and Mae!

Mr & Mrs Morland | Wedding

Madelyn and Bobby Ray’s wedding might go down in history as the hottest wedding in April, ever. Hottest as in temperature and in chemistry. This was the first time I had met this couple in person, and their love for each other and for their family was a beautiful sight to behold!

I think everyone was happy the nasty weather that was headed that way held off till the next day. Thankfully the crazy wind kept us a bit cooled off throughout the afternoon and evening.

Despite the heat and wind, everything was gorgeous! The location, flowers, music, and the sweetest words spoken at their wedding made their day perfect! Both the bride and the groom’s dads about had me in tears several times!

Congratulations to Madelyn and Bobby Ray! I wish you and your family a lifetime of love and happiness!

Enjoy some of my favorites from their wedding day!

Darcie | Prom

Let me start off by saying this: Prom is not what it used to be in the 90s. And I’m not just talking about the clothes. Today, prom is glamorous.

I had the pleasure of photographing Darcie and her date, Blake, before their high school prom. When she got out of the vehicle in this stunning dress, I knew we were going to have a lot of fun. Most of the photos were taken downtown, and then at a local park.

Thanks again to Kim for asking me to photograph this special chapter in Darcie’s life! I loved every minute of it!!

Enjoy a few of my favorites from this session.

Randy, Grace & Colton | Family

Back in the fall, I photographed Randy and Grace for her maternity photo session. We laughed and had a great time, and I couldn’t wait to meet little Colton!

This little guy was born two months ago, and he is so handsome and sweet. We moved from place to place and he was happy as can be! I can’t wait to see him crack a smile soon, and before we know it he will be sitting up by himself! But time, please don’t pass too soon!

Thanks again, y’all, for allowing me to capture some sweet memories for y’all in this new chapter of your life! Enjoy a few of my favorites from their session!

The Thompsons | Family

Ted, Lauren, Tripp, and Kaiden had their family pictures made late Fall last year, but I’m just now able to share them with y’all. You can read the previous post for more information about that.

We met at Oak Mountain State Park and had a ball taking pictures. The Thompsons were able to pick out one to use on their Christmas card, and I bet you’ll be able to figure out which one it was from my favorites! I can’t wait to see how much these boys have grown next Fall!

I’m so excited to finally be able to release these pictures on the blog. Enjoy my favorites from their session!
