Baby Izzy

Let me preface this post with the fact that I don't normally do newborn sessions. But every once in a while I will have a friend have a baby and I will get to take pictures of little tiny toes. This little squirt is the adorable creation made by two of my favorite people in the whole wide world - a friend I have known since middle school and his amazing wife who I have enjoyed becoming friends with as well!

Now for those of you who don't know - it is best to take pictures of babies when they are sleeping. You get to move them however you want, put them in really cute poses and basically mold them like dolls for great pictures. Well baby Izzy was clearly too excited to see her "auntie" Noel, because she was awake the whole time I was taking her pictures. {It was either her excitement or the fact that me and mom talked for too long before I actually got my camera out!} Either way baby Izzy was awake and we still got some great lifestyle pictures! Her alertness was astounding for being only 6 days new! 

Well now baby girl is 5 months old - but we sure are glad she is here!

Thank you Hamilton family for allowing me in your home and the chance to capture some of your first memories with your little girl! 

Day of the Dead // Engagement

One of my best friend's is a photographer. It is one of the coolest relationships I have! We bounce ideas off each other, we critique each others work, we have editing parties while our kids play, and we laugh A LOT! And when she books a DOD inspired wedding and engagement session and asks me to help....my answer is most definitely HECK YES!!!! Well since their wedding is today (the day after DOD) I thought I would blog their engagement session that my best friend let me tag along at and take some of my own photos.

Up in the Sycamore Photography  is one of the most creative photographers I know. You bring an idea or concept to her and she will take it and make it into this....

Thank you Kadi for letting me be apart of your incredible creative vision! And thank you K&S for allowing me to tag along with your photographer and witness your amazing love!

Sarah & Andrew // Wedding

One of my favorite sorority sisters got married!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And she asked me to take her photos! It was a beautiful mountain wedding! All the details were perfect! And one of the perks of being good friends with your photographer? Sometimes she will bust her butt to get a blog post up even before you have all the pictures done! Hope this holds you over for a little bit longer Sarah! :-)

And a VERY special thank you to Gretchen Foster for making the trip with me and being my second photographer!

Congratulations Sarah and Andrew, and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day!
