Simply Precious: Reese

This is our sweet niece Reese Piece! When I kept her over Spring Break, I took the time to snap a few shots for some 6 month pictures!! She was just getting teeth, so she was making some pretty funny faces. So precious!!

Simply Precious: Baby Jackson

Little Jackson is one of the cutest little guys EVER!! His mom Jessica contacted me to take some pictures of him for her mom and mom-in-law's Mother's Day presents. This was a big deal for me for two reasons. First, I work with her mom and had to make sure I didn't accidentally tell her, and two, her mom-in-law is a fellow photographer. I really wanted to make sure I took pictures that another photographer would enjoy looking at. Mission accomplished. I think that both moms loved the pictures, but how could they not with such a cute subject.

This tractor was so cool! I couldn't help but get a picture of it!

This is a picture of Jackson's great granddad. He couldn't be there in person, but he was in everyone's hearts for sure!

Simply Engaged: Chelsey and Zack

Meet Chelsey and Zack. They are one of my summer wedding bookings and good friends. Their engagement session this Spring was so much fun and beautiful. As most people do, they started off acting like they really didn't know what to do, but by the end of our session, they were naturals. Their pictures really show that they are in love. I think these are some of the sweetest pictures I have taken yet. Their wedding pics will be posted soon.

Simply Young: BHS Prom 2011

Back in March, I had the opportunity to catch some pictures of some fabulous BHS prom goers. Even though the rain tried to scare us away (It did keep us from our original location.), we got some really great shots. I have to say, despite the grey skies, the pictures turned out beautiful, and we managed to keep the girls dresses dry as well. YAY!

Simply Family: Samantha and Mike

So since these pictures have been taken, Samantha and Mike's precious Maggie has made her debut, but I still want to share their maternity pictures with you. We had a blast stomping around New Market. We visited many fields, downtown, the river, and even a friends soon to be home!! The pictures turned out great. Maggie is a blessed little girl!!

Simply Youthful: Anna and Hayden ( AND SNOW!!!)

Okay, so reading the title of the blog in the middle of this heat wave we are having in Alabama might make you wonder if I am going crazy. Rest assured, my mental health is just fine. However, I am behind on my blogging and these pictures were taken in much cooler days. When we had our first big Christmas snow, my sister-in-law and I had the crazy idea to get the kiddos (Anna and Hayden) dressed up and take some snow pictures. Well it was a great idea in theory, but Hayden's eyes are extremely sensitive to the sun. All of the white snow reflected the sun, and poor Hayden couldn't keep his eyes open. However, they were troopers and really did a good job of dealing with the FREEZING cold weather. We didn't get many shots, but the ones that did turn out are so cute! Here are a few of my favorites!!!
