Abby + Olivia

These two girls remind me how much I miss carefree summers, running around barefoot and sporting tu-tu's and princess dresses. They remind me of how thankful I am to have sisters, and how I should have soaked up all that fun time when we were little, and too busy fighting over every single thing. :) It's definitely a special bond like no other, and you can see that in little Abby and Olivia. They're too cute for words... I work with Abby and Olivia's mom at Portico and was SO excited to finally photograph girls! Seems like I've been shooting a lot of little boys lately and wasn't always sure what to do with them! But girls... I get... spinning, posing, being super-model princesses... and how it makes you giggle to say 'boo-tay'. Definitely have to watch the slideshow, there are just too many cute ones to post.

Yoga Belly...

A first for me: belly shots. No, not drink shots off a belly, havent tried that either, thank goodness, but photos of my preggo buddy, Shannon. We worked at Parisian together and have all kept in touch since then. We threw her a baby shower that morning (check out the cool yellow t-shirt I got the baby, in the slideshow) and out in the heat for belly shots that afternoon. Trooper! She happens to teach yoga and had the cutest little bod... all dressed in black, against a white wall, she practiced all her favorite yoga posses.



Her husband Todd joined us in the Birmingham Botanical Gardens where I photographed their engagement portraits... we thought it would be cool to go back to the same spot in the bamboo forrest.



Then... she let me paint her belly... which I have been dying to do! Tiny Dancer and Mini Sweet, they call her... and her little room worked as the perfect backdrop. Can't wait for her to get here for more and more baby glamour shots!

Adalynn Ray

A gerber baby if I've ever seen one... my cousin, Kelly Lynn, brought home her 2 day old baby on Sunday... Adalynn Ray Head... with quite the head of hair! (Speaking of... fun fact: did you know you can 'glue' a bow to a babies head with KY Jelly?... yeah...hmm...)


Poor thing was born on Friday the 13th, as much as her mother tried to avoid it. But she seems like a pretty luck little lady... her cousin, Charlie, came to visit (notice he's wearing a t-shirt and diaper... his dad was in charge of dressing him... so funny). I've now photographed pretty much the whole side of the family with little Charlie's one year portraits, big Charlie's engagement portraits and now little Adalynn's debut... guess it's good to have a photographer in the family?



And of course, a few shots of her new little room... The doll house was built by our Pap-pal when we were small... I'm glad we saved these for our barbie crazy girls one day...

The Weyandts

Congratulations to Alyssa and Mitchell! It was so fun to work with such a sweet couple starting with their engagement photos last winter to their precious wedding in May... you can tell they are so in love and definitely have a happy future ahead of them...
