Barbette & David : A Central Florida Wedding

Both Dave & Barbette were such a joy to meet and work with. I traveled to Central Florida for their wedding at the Tierra Del Sol Golf & Country Club in The Villages. It was a second marriage for both but a perfect one worth the wait. Gorgeous weather, beautiful location and sweet couple. What more could I ask for?

Joe, Jennifer & Ashlynn : A Birmingham AL Family Session

I have been friends with Jennifer now for a couple years but unfortunately never get to see her as she lives in Alabama. She has always said if I was ever in AL to let her know--she would love for me to take pictures of her family. I had never been to AL until our family road trip in February so when I found out the route we'd be taking I let her know right away. We met up early in the morning at the Botanical Gardens and spent a couple hours playing with Ashlynn and getting her pictures before she turns the big 2 this May. The weather was beautiful and little Ashlynn is only a week older than my little one so they have a lot in common. We had a great time and I didn't want to leave. Our visit was much too short, but am so glad we got to finally do this.

The Davis Family : Kansas City Family Photography

I visited the Davis family at their home for their session with their two little girls and an old but still feisty Basset Hound. These girls were the giggliest girls I have ever met. I'm not sure what Mom & Dad told them before I got there but they giggled non-stop. And that's okay with me--whatever it was, it worked! We got some really fantastic shots of them laughing it up and such great natural smiles from everyone.

Kansas City Engagement Photography: Josh & Lacy's Engagement Photos

Let me introduce you to Josh & Lacy. Sweet, romantic & in love. Josh plays guitar and Lacy loves green (notice her emerald engagement ring below.) They are separated by great distances, living in separate states, and planning their wedding in a third state altogether. Whatever they're up against they get through. It won't be long though till they're finally united!

Kansas City Family Photography : The Nichols Family

I had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Nichols family last Saturday. All three kids did such a great job and are all too adorable for words! There was a bit of urgency to their session as one of their sons is currently in remission from a kidney disease which usually makes him all puffy. So I had to get them all into the studio ASAP while he was looking more like himself.

I had so much fun with them. A bunch of hams really. A few "tooting" jokes really got the kids giggling. I mean, who doesn't love a tooting joke?!

So here they are, a few of my favorites of the kids and the whole family together!

Maternity Photography : Amy's Session

Amy and her family came to the studio last week for her maternity session. We also took a few family shots with her husband and sweet little boy. I'm not sure he knows what having a little sister will mean for him as of yet, but he definitely knows something's up. "Mommy's tummy is getting BIG," he pointed out to me. :o)

I love doing maternity sessions. Pregnant women are so beautiful and Amy was, to use the cliche, just glowing. Love the belly!
