Tinleigh and Eleighana
These girls are just precious to me. Their mom and dad are dear friends of ours and it's an honor to capture images of those you love. Our goal was a photo of the girls in their cutie matching Easter dresses and I think we we came out with several great choices and a few fun extras. Much love to my sweet friends! By the way, I love Tin's expression in this first one...(you can double click to enlarge)

Milams
I enjoyed getting to meet this sweet family. We had a beautiful and sunny evening to get some nice, spring photos. This little Claire is such a beauty and the happiest little thing. I hope you enjoy your sneak peak and I am sorry for the delay in getting these posted.





I could not choose between color and b/w.....


The Jamesons
This family is so special to me, so I was tickled pink when I got a call from Mississippi asking me to shoot some pictures while they were in town visiting. I have known the mother and grandmother of these children nearly my whole life and they have such a special place in my heart. As you can tell they have beautiful children, but they are all just as precious on the inside. I am blessed to call you friends and honored for the opportunity to capture these precious little ones. I so enjoyed spending the morning with you and letting all of our kids play together. Love you all!

I don't often do color selection, but there couldn't have been a more perfect time...I love her smelling this yellow flower!







and then I had to do it again....but, how cute is that?!

You'll forever be my baby boys...
I want to say a very Happy Birthday to Kane and Kimbrow!!!
It's hard to even know where to begin....as I type through the tears, I thank God that he chose and trusted me to care for these two amazing blessings. My biggest dream, that I had prayed for my entire life, was that God would allow me to be a mother. I never imagined He would bless me beyond my dreams. My life has never carried the same meaning since these two precious boys entered my life. God brought them to me as tiny little 4 pound beings and I have had the privilege of watching them grow into beautiful, strong, loving boys. I adore them for unique individuals that they are and count my blessings everyday!
Kane and Kimbrow, I love you, I am proud of you, and I thank God for you!...Mom

I thought you all might like to look back with me at images from years past. Many of these were scanned in so please excuse the quality. Feel free to leave a birthday message for my big 5 year olds...Enjoy!

The picture above is from the first time they were together after being born (3 days old)....the most precious thing I have ever seen...they inched their way over to each other and snuggled up. My favorite picture and a precious image of brotherly love. Kimbrow(left) and Kane(right)

Anticipating Baby Cade...
I had the pleasure of capturing a special time for my friends Sarah and Eric as they anticipate the arrival of their first baby boy, Cade Montgomery(such a handsome name). Sarah, you look absolutely radiant and aglow. You and Eric will be excellent parents and I can't wait to meet your little man.

Blessing from above...
This post is mostly to praise God for the amazing gifts that he showers on this earth. I feel blessed to have such sweet friends as Michael and Leah and even more I feel honored to present their precious son, Brady James, who was legally pronounced theirs by adoption on Tues, but delicately placed in their family by our Heavenly Father. He had a perfect plan for this precious baby boy and I am filled with joy and thanksgiving that He chose you, Michael and Leah. You are amazing parents and I am rejoicing with you! All my love...

SNOW DAY!!!!
We had sooo much fun in the snow on Tuesday!! Daddy got to be at home with us and play which made for two great surprises all in one day! I am thankful that God blessed us with this fun family time! The picture below of Kane was a constant expression on his face! He kept saying, " I can't believe it snowed and it's finally really Christmas!" All the explaining in the world cannot convince him that SNOW does not = CHRISTMAS.....I love this child, hard head and all! The boys made their first snowman (SNOWDEN was his name) all by themselves...I was so proud of them! And of course there was an ongoing snowball fight the entire time....I love the photo of the boys pegging their daddy! I hope you all were able to enjoy the snow, and if not, it looks like you'll get another opportuniy tomorrow! Can't Wait!





























These last two are here just because. Jada has decided this week that she actually DOES like to have her picture taken. She keeps saying, "Take a my pichur, mommy....pleeeeaaase!" So you know I wouldn't pass that opportunity up...she's a mess and I love her!



















Pratt Girls
I had some super fun girly time with the Pratt sisters. We took lil Miss B's 1 yr pictures complete with yummy cake! Big sister got in on the girly fun as they twirled in their precious pick tutus....I loved them!!! We had a great time and I think we came out with some precious images....thanks girls!
