i am loving this little owl hat that matches sawyers blue eyes so perfectly!  this little guy was a total sweetie at his shoot.  i can’t wait to photograph him and his two big brothers this summer.  they are a crew of cuteness!

ama looked beautiful with her baby bump.  it must have been pretty cozy in there because her little baby did not want to be born!  she was over a week late, but finally arrive and she was totally worth the wait.  baby abby is adorable with her sweet curls and her chubby baby rolls!

in the whirlwind of holiday activities i almost let this beautiful blog post slip.  katherine is gorgeous inside and out!  i love her brilliant smile and her super sweet striped dress.

baby wesley finally decided to greet the world!

mommy, daddy, gramma and wesely’s four legged siblings were all very excited for his first photo shoot and had lots of great props from vintage quilts to hand knitted caps.

i LOVE the shot of wesely with his great dane, pacey.  it does not get any sweeter than that.

both of these babes have the most beautiful big brown eyes framed with gorgeous long lashes.  so adorable!

happy monday with the cox family.  man, these kids have grown up since i photographed them last!

libby and i have been friends since i was 5 years old!  i have been taking photos of her girls for years, but this year we did the whole isley crew.  what a great present to give!

the “kids” bought a photo session for their parents, so the three isley boys and their families and their parents all got together on the family farm for our shoot.

i wish i had photos like this with my grandparents.

we briefly inturrupt this blog post for a small sales pitch…..there is still time to get a gift certificate for a family photo session for your parents for this christmas.  ; )  and now back to our regularly scheduled post.

check out some of my faves from my recent whitebox mini sessions.

katie and alston are sisters.  the sisters and their families meet up at the farm for a festive fall photo session.  their mom and dad even stopped by for a quick visit to see the grand-kids in action.  there are some pretty funny expressions going on between the cousins.  i love it!

katie + grady + arrington

alston + glen + will

grandpa + bug (grandma)  and alston + glen and the baby bump!  it is a tiny bump, but a soon to be sibling for will.

the cousins.

when the tears start it is time to break out the big guns…..giant lollipops!!

lovely golden hour with a lovely girl!

i want these boots!

we had to grab a couple of quick shots of shelton and her mom and her little brother to mark the last year that they will all be at home together.  senior year….what a roller coaster ride of emotions….happy, sad, excited, anticipation.
