It had been awhile since I’d done a maternity session, and I was excited. I adore working with couples and expecting women, there’s an excitement they share that translates soo well through the images! I met these two in downtown Huntsville for their session and we had a wonderful time. The light was gorgeous and these two were so cute and flirty! Baby Locke is due in 6 weeks and I know he’s going to be a cutie!
It’s been a good day. I love waking up to the sound of rain, and knowing I have nothing to do for the next several hours. It’s nice. It’s even better to be greeted with Starbucks, flowers, and coffee cake. I had the loftiest of plans today. I’d planned to spend the day outside, finishing up with yardwork and working on a pergola for the back porch. However, after looking outside my window, I decided I’d much rather stay inside, lounging about in my fuzzy robe and sipping coffee. And you know what? I think I’m better off..I spent the latter half of yesterday (and almost all of last night) being a workaholic—-editing, redesigning, and (once again) overhauling my blog and website. So I’m taking the day off. Because isn’t that what Mother’s Day is for? Relaxing?
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! I hope everyone is having a wonderful time. And to my wonderful mother and grandmother, I love you! <3

I was a little apprehensive. Clouds had been looming dark and grey across the skies since the day before. The ground was wet from the night’s rain and the smell of it still hung in the air. Before I left the house I checked the weather website one more time (just to make sure)…cloudy but clear. Thank goodness. I have been plagued by on-again, off-again rain for weeks and I’m glad this session went off without a hitch….because oh-man. I love babies. Cute, big-cheeked, giggly babies. It reminds me of when mine wasn’t quite so mobile, and just sat on the floor smiling. *sigh*
Jennifer found me last month through a mutual friend and after meeting today we (sort of) already knew each other. Small world! Jennifer and her husband wanted some new portraits of sweet Raylan, and some nice shots as a family. Yay!

Umm…wow. Can you say overdue? I’ve been dying to post but thanks to my (well-meaning) toddler and a bottle of windex, my modem is no more. However, I’m very lucky to have a guy who is ridiculously more tech-savvy than I and he’d rigged me a solution.
Yay! So here’s your next installment of Kisses and Disses!!
This week’s KISSES go to:
1.) Having a job that encourages the eating of cake. (Confession: sometimes after weddings, I have cake for breakfast. Can you say awesome?!)
2.) The return of Domino magazine. Seriously. I was soooo sad when they went under before. I am in decorating heaven.
3.) Awesome wedding clients that send you home with loads of homemade organic salsa….sooooo delicious!
This week’s DISSES go to:
1.) Making fresh chocolate chip cookies only to realize the milk you bought to go with them is buttermilk. Oy!
2.) Singing songs to yourself while driving, completely missing your turn, and getting lost. (I really, really need to fix my cd player!)
3.) Four year olds wielding bottles of windex…or anything really. They’re like a tornado of cuteness and destruction.

It was a perfect day. Really. The makeup was applied, the decorations hung, everyone was calm and smiling, and all throughout was the feeling of love. It permeated the air. Tangible. Real. It’s impossible to not get into the spirit of a wedding day. And this wedding day was perfect. Grace and Lucas were married in the picturesque town of Mentone, Al at the beautiful Preston House and it was GORGEOUS.
I love when my clients agree to a First Look. It makes for beautiful images and allows the bride and groom some sweet time alone before the ceremony. Beautiful.
Isn’t she just stunning?!
These two were soo sweet! Lucas carried Grace into the woods to make sure she wouldn’t get any poison ivy.
There was the most amazing field of flowers. Luckily, we had tons of time set aside for bride & groom portraits and were able to get some amazing shots. Thanks guys!
Grace & Lucas, I had such an amazing time working with you guys! Enjoy your honeymoon in Brazil!!
