A Birth: Baby Avery

What is sweeter or more wondrous than a birth?? Really if you have an idea let me know! I loved, LOVED, that I was able to share in a small part of Avery's birthday!

This is Avery's big sister Finley, waiting to meet her little sister for the first time.

Kathryn Looked great after the 9 hour labor.



Avery's Grandma, Jill...





She already has opinions!





The proud Papa...

















Welcome to the world Avery, prepare to be enchanted!

Celebration: 50 Year Anniversary

Marriage is not easy, so when I see a couple who has not only been married 50 years but also seems to enjoy each others company and show a happy love for each other, it is definitely something to be celebrated!

The whole family gathered together to spend time celebrating their parents (and grandparents) 50 years!

They asked that I get some family shots...

As well as some individuals...










The whole clan!! 

Congratulations on your amazing milestone!

Engagement: Laura & Ryan

I may use this adjective for everyone I photograph, but I really mean it! Laura and Ryan are just so sweet! They are incredibly down to earth and easy to be with, I am super excited to be able to photograph their wedding this spring.







I am also very excited about the location they have chosen for their wedding, Huntsville State Park. I am a big fan of state Parks and just love that they have chosen such a beautiful spot of creation to exchange their vows.






I have no doubt that Laura will make a spectacular bride!

A Follow Up on Families

I love taking pictures of seniors, adore newborns and babies, and become very excited at even the idea of a wedding. 

Families on the other hand I always approach with more frayed nerves than joy. 

All those people, with so many different personalities and unique characteristics, how does one photographer do that justice?! 

The Christmas season is quickly doing it's best to change my attitude!

Although I did not have the excited anticipation I have for most of my shoots these super-sweet families proved to me that groups are fun, full of energy, and a blast to shoot! I really had a great time with each of these special families and I believe that I will look forward to family shoots from now on! Here they are... 

A Family Shoot

I had the pleasure of shooting this awesome quartet at the farm, more pictures to come...

Senior 09': Kate

Kate was awesome to photograph! I have enjoyed all of my senior sessions so much this year. It is great getting to know each soon-to-be graduate and hearing about their plans for the future.










Kate is looking forward to a profession in medicine. She definitely has the intelligence, personality, and character to succeed in such a tough field and I wish her all the luck in the world!
