The Brady Bunch....

...Ok, not quite, but this is the Phillips Bunch! :) I love this family!  I did the baby's newborn pictures and the children's Christmas pictures last year! This is a good looking family and they take awesome pictures...when their all looking at the same time; and even if their not, they still took some cute pictures. It was a little challenging getting to get the little ones to look at the same time but I think we got pretty darn close on a few!  They had such an awesome little waterfall right there in their neighborhood so we didn't have to go to far.  Enjoy your sneek peeks! I enjoyed photographing your family! You guys are great!

Look at these cute chunky thighs!  I love them!!   And what beautiful blue eyes!

Not such a great start.....

....but ended up Good!  This morning I had a session to shoot at the Myriad Gardens  Once I got there, I was a shocked to find out it was shut down for construction!!!  Panic started to kick in cuz we were trying for early morning and the sun was quickly rising, which is not the best conditions to shoot in.  However, this family lives right by a nice little park so we ended up there.  It ended up being a nice little spot and really convenient for the family. I worried a little about the lighting conditions but once I got these home to review, they didn't look bad at all!  Now as for being a little extra warm...we ALL were!  It was getting hot & humid. HA! but you can't tell looking at these pictures.  The family kept their cool! :)  Mrs. D brought her cousin over to get some pictures with her and her little girl! Here are a few sneek peeks!  Enjoy! OH! And Lesson Learned Here...If shooting downtown, be sure to check on events AND construction! :)

Dad is such a good sport.  Usually the men don't like doing pictures,but dad did really well!...Now Baby D on the other hand didn't want to smile for anything this morning.

Baby D was done!!

Happy Birthday Baby A

The other day we celebrated Baby A's 1st birthday.  It was my first cake smash session!  And OH what a mess he made....good thing we were outside.  However, we had to hurry before the ants attacked us!  I photographed these two about a month ago at the train museum!  These two are awesome kids and this little girl is too funny!  Happy Birthday Baby A!!

What a Beautiful Evening....

Today I did a session for my sister's friend!  We went out to the lake and got some awesome shots! It was beautiful this evening...and so was this couple! Paul got picked up to do some modeling on the side after doing a calendar shoot for the Fire Dept. You could tell he was a natural...but then again you could tell he was so sweet, sincere and loving when he held his girl! Like my sister said, you guys make a really good looking couple!  I had fun doing the shoot!  Thanks Paul &Andrea!!  You guys were awesome! ....OH and Paul, I want an autograph on one of my pictures before you get too famous!  :)  Enjoy your sneek peek!

Welcoming Leila!

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Georgia to see my new niece, Leila!  I was so excited to meet her and (I have to admit) to be able to practice some fun shots I've been wanting to try. This little sweetheart was just such a content baby!  All she required was eat and sleep...and I'm serious when I say thats ALL she did.  I think she would only stay up for about 10min at a time if she wasn't eating.  She is such a good baby!  Here is sweet little Leila!


Here is a pose I have been wanting to try, the Potato Sack pose.  It turned out ok, but I think I need more practice with this one and maybe a different background.  I know one thing for sure...swaddling a baby tight is not as easy as you guys think! You should have seen us...all 3 sisters trying to swaddle this baby!  We were thinking "no big deal."  Yea right!! Its not that easy when a baby doesn't want to be swaddled. haha!

My very first Client....

Today, I got to go back and do a session for my very first client.  It was her little one that got me started with the baby photography! I was glad to go back and do a session for her family that came into town.  We were limited to shooting inside because of the crazy storms and tornados that we've been having, so it was pretty wet outside....and just think, her family is from Florida!  I bet you guys can't wait to get out of here and back to Florida!  ....Can I go with you guys?!? :)
Thank you Mr & Mrs S. for having me back!  And thank you for helping me get started in the business!! I will always be grateful to you and  your little model, Baby S.  Enjoy your sneek peek!
And here is Baby S a year later!
