The Powell Family

I got to spend a couple of hours with David, Tami, Preston and Hudson on Thursday. I’ve known them for a while now and even photographed their new born son Hudson in the hospital a couple years ago.  We were first going to do this session in October of last year but postponed it till it got warmer. Well, it definitely got warmer!  It had to have been 98 degrees outside!  But we still had a lot of fun fishing and riding four wheelers.  Enjoy some of my favorite pics below!

Hudson hasn’t quite grasped the concept of fishing yet but he loves to use the pole for digging around the muck. haha

To end the session, we allowed the kids to play and I took David and Tami for a mini “we did” session.  They did a great job!

Thanks again for letting me document your family!  I really enjoyed it!  Enjoy your photos!

Two + Two makes Four | Travis and Kristen!

I had the amazing opportunity to photograph the beautiful family of Travis and Kristen and their adorable twin girls Haven and Mylee. Don’t ask me to tell them apart. I couldn’t!  It was quite a challenge knowing whether or not I was getting enough photos of each girl!  Never had that problem before!

Here the girls are hugging on each other. Okay, everyone at the same time…. “Awwwww”.  :)

We decided to take advantage of a fallen tree in the front yard!  Horizontal tree. Fun.

After the twins had enough of us, I took mom and dad downtown to get some of them alone. Had an awesome time with them!

Thank you so much for giving me the immense pleasure photographing your wonderful family!  I loved hanging out with you!  I hope to see both of you and your beautiful children… in what… about 6 months?  :) Can’t wait!

The Moncrief Family!

Ada is over one year old now!  I had the pleasure of photographing her newborn session last year and now she’s 13 months old!  Time flies.  I can’t believe how big she’s getting!   It’s amazing how much development happens in a few short months. We had a LOT of fun reading, eating, playing, walking and just plain enjoying each other! Definitely a lot more energy than my last session with her.  It was wonderful hanging out with Brittany and Jimmy again!

Along with this blog I’m quietly debuting my new logo. Stick around… other exciting things are about to happen. :)

Enough of my words… check out some of my favorites!
