{my heart}

The two loves of my life...

He could not be a more perfect father, soulmate, husband and a more amazing man...

while she, is half of me and half of him, the one who made me a mother and growing into the most beautiful little thing both inside and out.

Thank you God for both of them and the one that is on the way!
baby cheeks#1 and her daddy!

{fresh}

Okay can you say gorgeous?! what a shoot to head off onto my maternity leave with....miss a is 6 weeks new and boy was she bright eyed and bushy tailed today, HOWEVER she was as happy as can be during the entire session and did give us a 10 minute cat nap, heehee! She was such a precious and might i add stunning little thing! well mom and dad thanks for a great afternoon i know yall have family all over so hopefully anyone who hasnt gotten to come down and get some miss a love can enjoy these pics of her sweetness!

{Southern Beauty}

Miss E, her parents, her gigi and our host were as sweet as pie! We had a wonderful morning and as you can see this little southern belle was a sleepy girl, but what an angel she was! Mom had several sweet and meaningful outfits and blankets for us to work with and eveyone was a huge help... i must admit my most favorite accent in the entire world is a South Carolina drawl so i was just giddy to visit with yall! enjoy the sneak peek yall!

{fresh}

oh my heavens, go ahead give that collective "awwwwww"! It took some teamwork but once we got this little beauty to fall asleep, with every shot we all "awwww'ed". She is one precious little thing and isnt even quite 2 weeks young yet! (sigh) It makes waiting for my own littel bundle of pink that much harder...

{sunset style}

okay i love love love evening shoots! we had so much time to relax and let Mr B get comfy with my camera and me before we even had to start shooting. But once we started.....WOW! Nobody told me how full of energy 4 year old boys are especially one that love speedracer, lol! Overall what more can a photographer ask for besides a family with a super fabulous sense of style that were ready to have fun!!!!!

{little beauty}

and this is why i love what i do.....Miss r is one little cutie patootie as you can see! Today was a day of good weather and one fun family! It was a perfectly relaxed shoot and i swear Miss R must have felt sorry for me and my big ol pregnant belly bc she never once tried to escape me and my camera! we had fun dodging bridal shoots and those hilarious nature photog's and we even managed to run from a snake, lol! thanks yall cant wait to show you the rest.....

Little Lovely and her big brother....

Remember her?! Well she is back and she brought her hansome big brother with her this time!!!! The weather was perfect, we had a blast, right mom, lol and Miss T uber loved my petti?! Although I was quickly reminded why I have no longer been booking shoots, at a whopping 29 weeks pregnant i am just not as fast as i normally am, and whew did she wear me out, heehee! will post more later but for now here is your sneak peek mom....

Happy Mother's Day!

me and the second love of my life...

6 months young...

Mr B not only had the most stunning blue eyes but the most infectious smile! he is truly one of the sweetest 6 month old ever and such a snuggler. Here is part one of his 6 month shoot, mom and I intend to do some outdoor shots a little later on so stay tuned for part two of this sweet smiley pants...

Sweet Mr M...

Can I just say that this little thing was my first ever boy newborn and he was pure heaven! I seriously wanted to eat him up with honey and butta, heehee! He snoozed the entire time I was at their house and mom and dad were so laid back and sweet! You can really feel the love these two share for this this little guy and for eachother.

This is why i always suggest scheduling your shoot within the first few weeks after birth, Mr M was coming up on 2 weeks young and really didnt mind what position we put him in, and i have to say he quite ejoyed my new "baby cocoon".

Mom and dad I know yall have family all over so I hope yall all enjoy this sneak peek....
