The greatest legacy we can leave is happy memories. So waste time wisely.

The Ricks Family was so kind and invited me over to document their last couple of days in their sweet midtown Mobile Alabama home before they moved Florida. This home held so many special memories for them and Christina wanted me to capture the essence of the home exactly how it was.

This is it mama. Slow down and breathe.
Take every sight & sound in. Study each detail and remember each face.
This lovely season of life goes by too quickly, so don't forget the little things.
Embrace them.

More of this in 2019.
More of them,
My family will come first more than ever this year. I will be sharing more of them too. They are my muses. My inspiration. They are the reason I love what I do.
I met Cathy and her family the day after Easter in Orange Beach. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. Not only was the weather amazingly beautiful, but the beach was surprisingly quiet and only a handful of people were there. Everything was perfect. The VanNahem's family session was my first session back after having my third child and I was so excited to hear that Cathy found me on instagram and wanted me to take their vacation photos. Nothing makes me happier than to know I'm capturing memories for someone.

Family Documentary is an upcoming genre that is unposed and unscripted. Instead of buying new outfits and meeting me at a gorgeous location, I will come to you where you let me in and capture perfect moments that tell your family story.
These sessions are my absolute favorite because they are so real and true. There is so much beauty in the everyday moments and these moments need to be celebrated and documented because you are enough, just the way you are.

Since it's Thursday, I figured I do a little throw back to one of my favorite sessions I had last year.
Family Documentary is something that I LOVE sooo much. These sessions are real and authentic. I approach these sessions like as if I am a 'fly on the wall.' These sessions are not posed and are unscripted. I capture everything from the sweet snuggles to the full blown out temper tantrums.
These sessions mirror what I capture of my own family and I think that is why I love them so much because I am giving my clients something real. Something they will be able to look back and remember how those days really use to be.
I had a couple of these sessions last year, but one that sticks out the most is my time with Ric and Lauren Bennett.

I don't know who you will be, but I know you will be my everything.
Bethany and Daniel welcomed their sweet baby boy into the world this past November. When Bethany contacted me to capture the birth of her son, I was truly honored. So when I was asked to come back and capture Drew's home newborn session, I was beyond excited! The Straughan's welcomed me with open arms into their new gorgeous home. Even though the weather was less than ideal, we had a great time and I was so happy to get some little snuggles from baby Drew.
Drew doesn't know it yet, but he won the jackpot when he got Daniel and Bethany as his parents. I have never met two kinder, more loving people who really adore not only one another, but also their sweet child.

Since it's a New Year, I figure I would write a little introduction about yours truly. I'm so blessed to be able to do what I love to do. And since I consider all of my clients my friends, why not let all of my friends get to know me a little better?
There's really no easy way to start and I'm completely awkward when it comes to introductions. Not to mention, despite being an english major in college, I'm the absolute worst at spelling and grammatical errors. You have been warned.
....So here it goes.
