I met Kylie back in college when we were in a singing group called The Variations. We’ve kept up with each other through social media over the years, and we both ended up being pregnant at the same time a few years ago!
While we were home for the Thanksgiving holiday, I finally got to meet her daughter and catch up with she and her husband, Paul!
Enjoy my favorites from their session!
I had the pleasure of meeting Leslie at the Home Grown Bloggers event back in September. She contacted me about photographing her family for Christmas cards, and we finally made it happen!
I loved that they included their dog, Tucker, in their family session. After all, dogs are part of the family, too.
Y’all head over and check out her blog, Paper Daisy Design.

About a year ago we officially met this family. Their little boy, Brayden, was in Avery’s Mother’s Day Out class. Unfortunately, this year he moved to a different school. But, we still try to have play dates and we swim together in the summer.
Julie asked about family pictures back in August. Those months flew by quick and now, I’m showing off my favorites from their family session.
It’s always fun to meet new clients for the first time. And it’s even more refreshing when they are up for whatever and smile no matter what. Well, the parents that is — little Emma didn’t give me but just a few smiles, but the wait was worth it!
This little girl is cherished, and she adores her mommy and daddy. Maybe the next time we meet she will be wiling to send a few more smiles my way.
Take a look at some of my favorites from their session.
The Kesslers are the cutest little family. I met Lindsay through a mutual friend at a girls night playing Bunco. She’s just as sweet as can be, and has an adorable little boy, Hank. This past weekend I met her husband, David, and I got to spend some time with them at Aldridge Gardens to capture some sweet memories for them.
Lindsay is a floral designer in the Birmingham area. She has created some beautiful arrangements for her clients (which includes brides)! You should definitely check them out on her Facebook page!

We made a quick trip to Mississippi this past weekend to celebrate birthdays with my husband’s side of the family. And while we were there, I had a family session with Summer, Chris and their sweet little six month old son, Kasen. I’ve known Summer for many years since we grew up in the same community, but it had been awhile since I had seen her and it was a nice to meet her husband and baby boy.
We meet up at Clarkco State Park and walked all over the front side of the lake taking pictures. Baby Kasen smiled all the time! He is precious, and has the most beautiful blue eyes that sparkle!
Here are a few of my favorites from their session. Enjoy!
Kim, Jeff and their kids rocked their family session. All of the kids had so much fun smiling and goofing off for their pictures. When everyone is having fun, it shows in the pictures and it makes my job so much easier.
Thank you for allowing me to capture the fun with your family. I had a blast with y’all!
Here are a few of my favorites from the session.
In two short months, this family of three will welcome twins girls. Big brother is pretty excited about them, and I know mom and dad are patiently waiting for their arrival.
Earlier today I captured the last set of professional pictures for this family of three. We had some fun and made sure big brother, Sam, was the center of attention.
Here are a few of my favorites from their session.
We’ve had the pleasure of knowing the Chaffin family for a few months now, and they are just the sweetest! Amber is like my long lost sister. We’re basically twins from what we like to eat, things we like to do, oh, and did I mention our kids are both fifteen months apart?
Little Judah is about to be dedicated in church in a few weeks, and they needed some up-to-date pictures of him, and of their family. So we scheduled a time for late September (thinking it would be cooler) to have them taken. Y’all we we started at 8:45 a.m. and we didn’t even take the first picture before we were sweating to death. I’m so over this heat, and so ready for actual Fall temps.
Even though everyone, including the boys, were over the heat and sweat — their session turned out great! These are a few of my favorites from their session.
Thank you for letting me capture your sweet family!
The weekend is drawing near, but I’m sitting here begging for cooler temperatures to arrive in Alabama. It just doesn’t seem right to pull all the Fall decorations out, even though I did see a few leaves in the yard this week. And it looks like the leaves are already starting to change over thanks to this long dry spell we’re having.
With that being said, I’m announcing the dates for Fall Mini Sessions! You can email me at joyhsowell@me.com to book your session.
Can’t wait to see how much your families have grown this year!
