Back to school and back to packing those lunches every day…Click HERE to view some inspiration I’ve used to try and change up our routine and not hand my kids the same ‘ole boring sandwich every day.
Happy Packing!

A birthday smash cake session for Miss Audrey Neil was so much fun!
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate turning one!
But before Audrey dug into to her cake, we took a few sweet photos.
Big Brother Alex joined Audrey and you can see how much love each other.
You can tell these two siblings have a special bond!
Alex can make Audrey laugh and giggle which made the sweetest photos.
What an awesome big brother!
Audrey loved Mr. Studio Bear.
How precious is her birthday outfit?
She is showing off her new skills for me.
She loves climbing, clapping and blowing kisses.
Who can resist a yummy & beautiful birthday cake?!?
Audrey loved digging in to her cake.
Happy Birthday sweet girl!
I always love seeing the Ray Family.
I have photographed their family for years and this is one fun family of five!
Austin and Kayla have three precious kids who are so much fun to photograph.
Henry, Isabella, and Lucy are the sweetest siblings.
Henry is the oldest brother and what a great big brother he is!
He is so cute and has the biggest heart!
Isabella is a beauty! Look at her gorgeous curls. She is full of spunk and sweetness.
Miss Lucy is the youngest and she is the happiest baby! She is full of giggles and laughter!
We finished our session with a great game of hide-and-go seek!
I think every session should end this way. 🙂
A beautiful in-home session with the Lockett family.
An in-home session is perfect for a newborn session because your newborn feels secure and content in their own home.
The Lockett’s have a beautiful home and family.
Miss Ann was a joy to photograph.
She is so pretty and loves being held by her parents, Peyton and Traci.
Look at the gorgeous head of hair!
Ann is a little angel!
She enjoys being swaddled and being held by her parents.
Big brother, Brooks, loves his little sister!
He is an awesome brother – he is never too far from her.
Another reason I love in-home sessions, I like to include personal items in my clients’ home.
Ann’s grandfather made her these wonderful wooden toys.
Thank you all so much for welcoming into your home!
December is a great month for crafts! My month is filled with crafts and baking with my children. I love crafts but my favorite crafts are the ones that I can reflect back on… this has to be one of my favorites:)
Handprint Holidays
You can paint this on anything but I have this on a plate and will you directions for a plate.
You will need the following for this craft:
– acrylic paint
– brushes
– baby wipes
– a glass platter or plate
We used brown paint for our reindeers and green for our trees. So their hands were reindeers who are tangled up in Christmas lights and a little ones foot is perfect for a Christmas tree.
You can definitely change it up. I have seen angels painted using feet and trees made with hands. I just thought this idea was cute.
*remember, if you do not like your design – you can simply wipe it off using water and start again.
Once you finished your ceramic plate – set the paint by baking the plate in the oven at 300° Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. I suggest leaving your plate in the oven, turning it off and allowing the oven to cook down and then removing the plate.
I look at back at this plate and remember when they were this little. Best handmade craft ever. These are also really great gift for family members.

A beautiful session with a beautiful Mommy-to-be!
Trent, Valerie and big sister, Ivey are so excited about meeting Mr. Knox.
I love out Belly to Baby package and the Watch Me Grow package… I get the watch these sweet families and babies grow!
Mr. Knox has arrived!
He and his family came into our studio for his newborn session.
What a handsome little guy!
He is such a good baby!
He was a sweet napper.
There is so much love between Ivey and Knox.
Sweet siblings!
Ivey needed no instructions on how to pose with him, she’s a natural!
Let me introduce you all to Miss Mollie Hill.
Isn’t she absolutely beautiful?
A pretty little bundle wrapped in pink.
Our little studio bear is perfect for sweet snuggles.
Loved having Jenna (Mom), Matt (Dad) and big sister, Harper in the studio as well.
I have had the pleasure of photographing her big sister, Harper, when she was a baby.
I can not believe how much she has grown!
If you have not heard of Harper, let me tell you a little about her.
Harper was born with heterotaxt syndrome which brings with it a single ventricle heart, an interrupted inferior vena cava, pulmonary stenosis and anomolous veinous return. Harper’s first open heart surgery was May 13, 2015. She has had a great recovery and is currently thriving. She is so excited about her new little sister.
Every year, there is a run called Harper’s Heart Run, which benefits Children’s of Alabama. The run is coming up soon – September 16th – and will be held in Gardendale. You can register for the race or get all the information at HarpersHeartRun.
Welcome to the World, Mollie!
We were so happy to welcome the Leith family back into our studio again.
This time, they brought in the newest addition, Missy Savvy!
Oh my goodness! What a beauty!
What a fantastic family of five!
Savvy’s siblings, Aidan and Mackenzie, joined in the photo session too.
These two absolutely love their little sister.
She loved being held by her parents, Heather and Jeremy.
She is so loved!
We had so much fun playing dress up with floral headbands!
She loved being swaddled and loved napping in our studio crate.
Look at her precious little piggies!
Is there anything sweeter than some little toes peeking out of a blanket.
