♥ Baby Haylee ♥

Nothing melts my heart more than to walk into a client's home and see a beautiful cooing baby! It's been some time since I have had a newborn session and I was instantly flooded with memories of when my own not-so-baby girl was only five weeks old.

Haylee was very alert and happy to oblige me as soon as I asked something of her. You're probably wondering why on earth I would be asking an infant to do something! :) I'll explain.

At one point I asked her if she would curl her legs back up for me and wouldn't you know.. she did it?! Sarah, aka Mommy, and I just giggled as we savored every second of watching Haylee "perform" for the camera. (Yes.. I really do know that infants don't actually follow directions.. but humor me!)

Thank you, Sarah, for allowing me the opportunity to photograph your new, precious baby girl! I can't wait to see how much she has grown in a few months! Enjoy!

Happy Halloween! (A few days late)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!

We went back to my hometown of DeFuniak Springs for Halloween again this year. Kaydence and her cousins went as the gang from Grease!

Aside from the normal "too much going on" behavior (You moms know what I mean) .. overall they did GREAT!

Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy! Keep watch this week.. I have A TON to blog about!

Christmas is Coming!

Christmas is quickly approaching and I just can not believe it!! If you would like to book a Christmas session and or have Christmas cards made, now is the time to do it. All Christmas sessions must be booked and all card orders must be placed before November 12 in order to guarantee pictures and cards back in time to mail out for the Christmas Holiday! I know that seems early but that is how busy this time of year is and I want to have everything out in a timely manner!! Below are just a few (literally.. just a few) samples of Christmas Cards that I am offering this year! Please contact me for pricing information!

September Calendar & Sneak Preview!

Here is a sneak preview of a recent itty bitty baby I shot as well as one of many calendar templates that it can be made into! (More photos to come this week!!) If you would like one of your photos turned into a calendar.. just let me know!

Erin's Family

I had the pleasure of meeting Erin and her family recently out in Pensacola Beach! They were getting ready to move away from the area and wanted to make sure they got pictures with their precious baby girl on the beach before they left. They are an adorable family! Here are a few of my faves.

Bowden is One!!!

I have been taking pictures of Bowden since he was born! Man, does time every fly! I can't believe he is one already! He is SO precious and just the sweetest thing ever. I have to add that he climbs ladders very well.. I've seen it with my own eyes! I'm lucky that Kay doesn't have any around to attempt it. I'd have a heart attack! Anyway.. he LOVED his birthday cake! I also had to throw in as very sweet pictures with his big sister! I played with a texture on it. Let me know what you think!

Baby E!

A very proud Mommy and Daddy welcomed Baby E into the world very recently! I did Mommy's maternity portraits a few months before he arrived. (No.. I did not blog them. I unfortunately probably will never be caught up on all the shoots/weddings that need to be blogged!). Anyway.. I was super excited when Rosie contacted me to let me know that Baby E was here and that she would like me to take his first portraits. I can not tell you just how great he did. Not only was he awake the ENTIRE 2 hours that I was there.. he never fussed or cried. Not even a whimper! He smiled at us about 5 times too! I know 10 day old babies don't normally smile but he even rolled over from his back to his side several times...so he did REALLY smile (at least I think so... but I am a mommy too!!) :) Mom and Dad surely have an advanced little guy on their hands. I hope you all enjoy!

PS.. What do you think about the new border/logo design!? I love it and it's all thanks to my wonderful bride Kendra! She has been amazing!!

Birth.. a joyous thing!

I have always been a firm believer that for every life taken, one is given. Kaydence was born one year after a childhood friend was killed in a car accident. Now I get to welcome Baby Lakota! He is the newborn son of one of my best friends from high school! He had his first photoshoot at one day old in the hospital. Please keep him and his mommy and daddy in your prayers. His Daddy left today to be in Iraq for 6 months. The let him stay a week longer to see the birth of his first child, a son. Welcome Baby Lakota! You've had many family members and friends anxiously awaiting your arrival! We love you!

Congratulations Becca and Johny! I'm so happy for the two of you. You have a beautiful son!
