Cousins





some dear friends of ours moved back to town a few months ago. we're so glad they're back...they were greatly missed! for those of you who may know about which friends i am speaking, there is no denying who these children belong to! ;-) they are "mini me's" of their parents! i recently did a cousins shoot for them and these are a few of my favorites. enjoy...

Hawkins Sneak Peek


i love the contrast of textures in this photo.
isn't that tu-tu great?


S looked so much taller to me this time as he really is getting to be a big boy.
Love those cheeks!


i love shooting into the sun and the ethereal look in this shot. she looks like an angel!


Can hardly believe it was time for the Hawkins family shoot again. I've been taking photos for this sweet family since Miss G was born. These are a few from their birthday/Christmas card session. As always, it's such a treat for me to watch them grow. Her big brother could not have been sweeter watching out for her. He has the most precious demeanor. Enjoy this sneak peek and I'll have the rest for you soon!

Another Sneak Peek!

possibly my new favorite shot


pure love


hubba hubba!
this one's gonna be a heartbreaker

such a beauty


oh i loved this session! i met one of my oldest friends and her precious family in the downtown area of our hometown recently for a photo shoot. i have always been encouraged by this couple's devotion to each other and their love for their children. i thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to photograph them while they were in town. these are some of my early favorites as i make my way through proofing. the rest will be ready soon! love y'all!

Sneak Peek





oh how i love newborn sessions! being able to photograph
a new family is such a privilege. everything is new and fresh and so precious. it seems like just yesterday that i, like allison, had just brought my new baby boy home.
what sweet days.
this little guy was just a dream to photograph. he slept through most of the session and let me move him all over the house and place him wherever i chose. he did peek at me a bit so i could get a few shots of his gorgeous blue eyes. isn't he a doll?
thanks for hiring me, allison! i enjoyed spending time with you and i hope you will love these images. i do! i'll have your proofs ready soon!
