Category Archives: Family Photography boys. a mother surrounded by her boys.
this beautiful family first contacted me when they were expecting their first little baby. we met and i was blessed by them so much, we captured her maternity images, newborn…….and well years later we are still capturing them! I have so enjoyed watching them grow into a family of 5. The most beautiful kiddos and sweetest parents! When she let me know baby 3 was here i couldn’t wait to go and meet him. He is as adorable as the other two, and their home is filled with love, lots of toys and lots of activity. I knew immediately i needed to capture their home, the way the kids all interacted and well just their life. Its so beautiful.
love & family. they are two words that can be overlooked, underused, overused, underappreciated, taken for total granted, lost, appreciated, held onto tightly. i could go on & on. i grew up with a huge family, parents who adored me (mostly), siblings that laughed alot with me, grandparents that literally KNEW i hung the moon, aunts & uncles that were more like 2nd moms and dads, cousins that were as close as my siblings. Really, i could tell you hundreds of stories of my family. i am from KY, moved to Nashville when i was 3, my dad a natural musician and song writer and my mom who just wanted more than the small town could give us. everywhere we lived, there was family around. my grandparents still live in KY & i so enjoy visiting them. i could easily say i have taken family for granted, at least the first part of my life. i honestly have no idea what it would be like to not have a huge loving family around me. supporting my every move, helping me with every small detail. loving me no matter how bad i messed up! for some, i now know this isnt the case. some are waiting for their forever families to show up and wrap their love around them. Meet Jude, he is waiting no longer. when this adorable family walked into the studio for their session, the love was abound. you could feel it in the air, you could see it in the smiles and ohhhhh, could you ever see it on Judes face. a vibrant happy one year old boy. after much trials and many nights of waiting and praying, they got to bring Jude home. i was so blessed to be with them for a small part of this time. the whole time they were in the studio everyone was happy, loving and just………well happy to be together. blood doesnt make a family. names do not make a family. our sweet Savior has made us all one family. we just have to open ourselves to His wishes and listen to those little whispers in our heart. family is wherever, wherever there is love!
this sweet little outfit belonged to daddy when he was little. Jude now has the same initials and wore it proudly, and pretty handsome-ly i must say when all of the great elements of a beautiful portrait come together, it really is quite stunning. each & every day that i photograph children i seem to fall into a deeper love and fascination of their spirits. the honesty and quite peace that is within them, it really is something amazing. this lil beauty came in to have her portrait captured in a dress that was made in the 1800′s by her great (many times great) grandmother in England. every child in this family has been caputured in this dress since. i was amazed and felt very honored to be apart of such a history rich portrait. the dress itself is stunning and to run your hands over the soft material, you just think about the many generations. its pretty amazing! i love her somber look, those big blue eyes. she is perfect.
