This sweet family has the absolute cutest daughter ever! She’s just as silly as she is cute, too, incase you couldn’t tell 😉 She’s about 10 months older than my own son and the whole time we were shooting I just couldn’t believe that my own son would be doing the same things she was doing in less than a year’s time. Running around, saying words, drinking out of a water bottle all by herself…all things that seemed so very much “big kid” to me. Everyone keeps telling me “they grow up so fast” and this session definitely drove that point home for me! Would you look at how precious she is?!

Jeff and Amber are two complete opposites. He’s ALL country and she was a total high-heeled city girl when they met. Now she’s just a little bit country 😉 I first met Amber and her future mother-in-law, Doreen, over the summer and we had such a good time sitting and talking that after about an hour and a half I think we all had a moment where it was like “OH RIGHT! We’re here to talk about wedding photography!”. Love it when that happens! We shot their country engagement session the weekend before Christmas at Jeff’s family’s land near Burleson. Seeing some of the antique farm equipment and tractors made me feel like I was on an episode of “Pickers”! It was awesome! They brought their sweet furry child, Avery, along and I’m so glad they did because girlfriend is quite photogenic if I must say so myself!

    OMG. They look great!! I can’t wait to see what you can do with our wedding!!!ReplyCancel

You might remember these two from their gorgeous wedding at The Parson’s Table back in October. Right around Christmas Heather contacted me to see if I could come to their house to get some photos of the two of them to celebrate their first Christmas together as Mr. & Mrs. I absolutely LOVED this idea! It just goes to show you that you never need a far away, fancy location to get beautiful portraits with your loved ones. We should these photos in their home, and just outside of them home and they’re some of my favorites. Ever.

Heather’s super cute short curly bob was definitely the inspiration behind my new hair cut. Maybe if I get TOTALLY caught up on blogging I’ll post a picture of that, too! Heather & Julian, I love you guys.

One of the perks of being a professional photographer is getting to trade sessions with your talented friends! Charla is re-vamping her brand and her website and needed new photos of her fine self and I’m so glad she asked me to do them. We had a blast shooting these, and then even more fun over burgers and beer at Twisted Root afterwards! Here are a few of my favorites from our shoot. You can check out Charla’s work over at http://www.charlastorey.com/.

Shocker! I’ve neglected my blog yet again. I am determined to get it all caught up with yumminess from my fall weddings and sessions. I’ve had lots of great stuff already in 2013 so I figured I would just start now with my most recent session and work my way back before the craziness of Spring wedding season hits for me at the end of this month! So, meet Lisa and Josh. That’s baby Jackson cooking there in that sweet belly! I mostly shot weddings and engaged couples for the past few months so when Lisa contacted me about a maternity session I was so excited for something new. Plus, she’s due around the same time that I was due last April so it was fun to reminisce about what I was looking like and feeling like at this very time when pregnant with my own son last year. Man, I sure do miss it! If I could be pregnant and give birth for a living, I would in a heartbeat. Yes, I am crazy. But seriously, even with the unrecognizable shape you grow into, the aches, the pains, the disappearing ankles, it really is the most magical thing I’ve ever experienced. I seriously feel bad for men for not ever being able to experience it. It sure seems to be treating Lisa well! She’s got the most gorgeous hair and skin, don’t you think? We met up in downtown Roanoke for a few photos and then headed to a nearby overgrown field for some yummy golden sunset photos. I hope you enjoy these as much as we enjoyed taking them!

Lisa- you are gorgeous! I hope baby Jackson is kind to you this last month of your pregnancy. Enjoy every second the best you can. I can’t wait to meet him!
