lovely.

Well I have been praying for this lil lady for a few months and look how great she is doing. That adorable belly is carrying a very chunky 9lb (or more) baby girl! Look how tiny she is! I could of swallowed her when I was pregnant :)
I usually tend to focus more on the "belly" but with these two it was all about the love! I am so honored to capture this time for them. I also am sooo uber excited about being there with Miss Chunk arrives in only a few short days! Please keep Amy in your prayers that the rest of her time and delivery will go wonderful!

my crazy world.

This line of seven adorable children is what my life is about. Meet my kids, nephews and nieces! My parents now have 7 grandkids and Im not so sure there wont be more added one day! :) We had such a great time this year at the beach with the kids. Of course the first two, teenagers just kept to themselves and talked alot (only to each other) and rode lots of waves! Molly moo played alot in the sand and was a lil mother to all the lil ones. She recently realized what she had been doing for free she could get paid for....$5 an hour babysitter! She made some money!! The next one is just always on the go and wanted her Pappy to take her in the ocean all day! She also was the most excited about the pirates leaving her buried treasure! Our two lil hammerhead boys, only 6 months apart and soooo different! Eli is more laid back and go with the flo, easy to please..Aiden is 100% boy with a sense of humor and attitude for days but so sweet when he wnats to be. They both actually loved the water and sand this year!! Then last is our baby of the group A-Rod. All I can say is he loves his mommy! BUt Aunt Mandy runs a close second :)
So there they are!!

Em and Em
Sibling love!! I soooo love this image!

My sweet love picking up tiny tiny sand dollars at the very tip of the Island


Sweet Sav! She is turning into such a big girl and will be going to Kindy soon! Isnt she beautiful!

Well I have to say this image speaks volumes to me. I think my mom is one of God's finest creatures. She somehow puts up with all of us and my Pappy at the same time. She has more patience then I dont know what and I just love her more than anything! I feel so blessed. I love you mom! Dear Pappy, you can be with him for about a minute and you will know the tru papster. He is real and loud and honest and soooooo loving! I could not ask for a better Pappy for me and my kids. thank you both for spending the week with all of us and loving us all so much!

So just a sneak into our lil week at the beach! I am working hard to get caught up and will be in touch with all clients soon. I will have alot of news in the next few weeks!

Have a great day!

peace.

If you are like me you work all year waiting for your summer vacation. We spend one week a year usually in Seaside Fl with 20 of my family members. This year we are in Ft. Morgan Al. Its alot different than Fl. but just as peaceful sitting on the beach watching the kids play in the waves and build sand castles. I usually sit in a beach chair and Steve plays with the kids in the ocean, as I do not swim "with critters" :) I prefer a concrete pond!
Here are a few images to get you in a beachy state of mind!

This is the top of Fort Morgan. It is a fort from the World War and its quite cool. Its amazing to think about the soldiers and how they lived!
Since my dad was little they were told of pirates and buried treasures so we always bury some goodies for them to discover. The older kids actually have a hunt with clues to find their treasure. Here are the lil ones digging their treasure. They each had buckets with their names on them and they were excited that the pirates knew their names. So fun!!


My two surfers!!

A quick session with my rowdy nephew!

Hope you guys are all doing well and I will be back to work soon!

closed.

Hope you all have a great week. I will......at the beach!

blessing..again.

The family I got to hang out with today is one of my favorites. I have watched Miss H grow up from a lil babe and she is soo big now. She is now a big sister! This lil bundle of joy arrived last week and he loves me already! He slept the whole time I was there, no pee, no poop and no fussing! Thank you Mr. G. I am thrilled and feel so honored to be apart of all of your lives!

Ok, this first image makes me cry and I took it! Is that not the sweetest thing ever?




Thank you guys!!

bundle.

Can I say WOW! Such a beautiful new little family! Im just so in love with all of Lil H's newborn images! She was such a doll and never fussed at all! She let me bend her little 6 day old body just any which way and even woke up for a few shots. Thank you lil angel for being so kind to me!
Mom and dad, congrats!! Thank you for sharing your lil miracle with me!

I met some wonderful new clients this week. I promised everyone would get a sneak peek before i leave town for a week. Here are the first batch from this week. More to come! It was great meeting you all!! thank you for sharing your wonderful kiddos with me!

I thought I would share more of Miss Iz. I have alot of requests to see more than the sneak peek of a session. Here are a few more favorites from her session. She is such a pure beauty. I could photograph her and her blue eyes every day!
Enjoy!

I love these blankets from Snapkids, it reminds me of Baskin Robbins! yummy!!I absolutely love this image!! It was not planned and just a snap of the moment, but I just love it. It has such a old soul feel to it! :) I hope you guys like it as well.
Finally some peace and quiet!
Such a sweet family! Thank you guys for sharing your angel girls with me. I am so happy for you and I am honored to be apart of their lives.
