Grace's Newborn Session

Baby Grace was born to Russ and Erin Lindsay, who is another sorority sister of mine, in October, so she was a little older than newborn when we shot her session. She is a precious baby girl. Newborns are funny, you never know what you're going to get. Grace was not having an easy time of things on the morning we shot this session, so there were lots of feeding breaks and Erin struggled to get her to sleep so we could get at least a few of her sleeping. She gave in and took a few little cat naps for us, which brought about some sweet, peaceful images. Despite the bumps in the road, I had a wonderful time with the family that day and it was my first time meeting Grace, which is always exciting. Enjoy some of my faves from the day!

Finley's Newborn Session

I did another combined newborn/holiday session with the Briggs family. Baby Finley has huge, gorgeous eyes!!! They are amazing! Her big brother Cullen has the same ones :) Beautiful children! It is always tough to juggle a two year old and a newborn during a photo session, but Cullen went down for a nap and we had some time with baby Finley. She stayed awake for a good part of the session, then finally went down for a good long snooze. We did some holiday themed images with a hand knitted Santa hat, which ended up being the star photo of their holiday card. I had so much fun with you guys, thanks for inviting me into your home and lives for the afternoon.

Parrish & Jonathan's Engagement Session

I was so happy when my friend and sorority sister contacted me about doing her engagement session while she was home for Thanksgiving! The timing worked out perfectly. Parrish and Jonathan are such a fun and playful couple, they were up for anything. We incorporated a variety of locations and were lucky enough to find beautiful lighting in all of them. We had such a good time during their session and captured some beautiful images of a couple looking completely in love. You can tell that they are not only in love but the best of friends. Thanks for sharing these moments with me, I enjoyed having the time with you guys!

The Nephews

During Parrish and Jonathan's engagement session, I managed to squeeze in some shots of her adorable nephews and they were so fun I just had to post them! Enjoy!

Mitzel Holiday Session

I shot the Mitzel family holiday session last year, so I was so happy when they contacted me to schedule another session for 2009. This year we shot it in Ocala, Parker has grown into full toddler stage, which made the session both entertaining and a little exhausting for mom and dad! But, in the end we were able to get some big smiles from little Parker, as well as some more serious expressions, I think he might be headed towards a modeling career :) Enjoy some of my faves from their session.

Keeghan's Newborn Session

I shot Jenn's maternity session about a month before Keeghan arrived, you might remember the posting.....baby Keeghan arrived just in time for the holidays, so we combined her newborn session with the Hatchett family holiday session. She was pretty cranky in the beginning, as newborns tend to be, but once we gave her a chance to snooze she was much happier! She's a gorgeous baby, just like her big sis, Holland, who has the most amazing eyes. Jenn was very stressed and convinced we didn't capture a single worthwhile image, so she was pleasantly surprised when I showed her the results from their session :)

Todd & Carly's Engagement Session

I shot Todd & Carly's engagement session this past Sunday. We had gorgeous weather with a fabulous breeze and beautiful sunset lighting at the end of the session. Todd is a firefighter so we started the session at the fire station to get some fun shots with the firetrucks, which we definitely did as you'll see below! Todd and Carly are good friends, and although it took some coaxing, I was able to get them comfortable in front of the camera. We captured some beautiful, natural images that I love. You can't beat Fall light if you time it right! Can't wait for the wedding next June you guys :) Thanks for spending the afternoon with me! Enjoy some of my faves from the day below.

Last shots of the day, definitely some of my very favorites!
