{The Bell Family}

I know it's only June, but it felt like Christmas morning to me. I woke up super early and jumped out of bed with excited anticipation of editing the photos from last night's session. Can any of my photography friends relate?

Sam and Kris were referred to be my Megan, you may remember their family session from last year. Sam and Kris are parents to Eden (happy birthday, sweet girl!) and Jude. Eden turned 3 the day of the session and Jude turned 1 the day prior. It was safe to say that they all earned an after session ice cream for sure! 

I hope these pictures display the love that Kris and Sam have not only for each other, but for their two precious blessings. They are an amazing family that I had the absolute JOY of meeting and get to know. Hope you enjoy some of my favorite photos from their session...

 

 

 

 

 

{The Nixon Family}

I have the pleasure of introducing you to a very sweet and beautiful fellow Air Force Family.. meet The Nixons! I had the pleasure of meeting Jill at one of our squadron functions and instantly enjoyed her sweet character. Big brother Wesley stole the show with his super cute smile and "all boy" personality. I hope you enjoy seeing a few pictures from their outdoor session. 

{Ford Family: Maternity}

Let me tell you what..this family is just the sweetest! I have known Cambrie for about a year now and her friendship has been such a treasure! She's such an encourager! Cambrie and Mike will be welcoming their second baby girl into the world in July. I can't wait to met baby T and see what a good big sister Miss Kennedy is going to be!

 

{The Nauman Family: Maternity}

It has been a long, busy, and tiring two months but boy I am so glad to be back to this hobby of mine!

Dan and Jill are no strangers to the blog...I'm sure you remember their pregnancy reveal photos and Dan's welcome home from deployment. Well, it is hard to believe that baby Nauman will be here in just a couple of short months! This session it at a new location for me, but it has quickly become one of my favorites. The glow from the setting sun and the love between Dan and Jill made the perfect combination for this sweet maternity session.

  

And we can't forget about sweet Scout who will be a great big sister ;)

{A Sweet Return}

Homecomings are probably one of the most special things that I have the privilege of photographing. There is so much emotion wrapped up into one day...nervous anticipation, daddy's meeting their very own daughters and sons for the first time ever, soon-to-be daddies seeing their wife's growing pregnant bellies, and the shear joy of knowing that families will be united once again. The sacrifices  that so many military families make is what makes homecomings that much more special. It was an honor to play such a small role in such a BIG day for some of my closest friends here. I hope you enjoy...

Ice Ice Baby

Any weather that doesn't come in the form of humidity is sure to stir up lots of talk around these parts of Louisiana :) This "wintery weather" has earned me two snow days, lots of snuggles with the puppy, and some fun pictures...

{Desiree: Class of 2014}

The month of February welcomed me with a new style of photo shoot that I have never done- Seniors! 

Thinking back on when I was in high school, I can remember the excitement of choosing which designs I wanted on my class ring, ordering my cap and gown, and getting Senior pictures taken. I also remember trying to enjoying my last year of high school, whilst dealing with the anxiousness that comes with wanting to graduate and start college. It is such an interesting and fun season of life. 

I would like to introduce you to Desiree...isn't she beautiful? Desiree is JanRay's sister (remember him and Kimvy?). I had so much fun hanging out with Desiree during this photo shoot and getting to know her. Desiree sings in her school choir and although she is excited about going to college, she said she is sad to leave high school. I wish her the very best and I know that she is going to do great in college!
