Royal beauty {MS Gulf Coast newborn photographer}

This royal beauty is just as sweet as she can be.

And, so lucky to have been born into the sweetest family.

Sweet big sister got a turn to have her picture made too. She was playing so sweetly with her little baby. She is going to be such a good big sister.

My angelbaby

I just wanted to share a peak at my daughters 8 month session. She passed out during the session, so I quickly took advantage of that :) (The benefit of mommy being the photographer)

Sweet baby J

Sweet baby Joseph wasn’t really in the sleepy mood, so we got some adorable portraits of him awake.

Then when he finally gave it up, we got those sweet little sleepy pictures that everybody loves!

And, we had to squeeze in one of the beautiful new family! Congratulations mom and dad!

decisions, decisions

I don’t simply take pictures.

I capture memories….

your memories.

Not just for you,

but for many generations to come.

Having portraits made is an investment in your memories. And, as such… you should be proud to display them in your home.

When it comes to hanging portraits on your wall, you want it to make a statement. You want people to walk in and NOTICE your picture. An 8X10 or 5X7 on the wall just won’t do it. I recommend a 16X20 or larger print or a collage of prints

There are many options for displaying your photos. You can always go the traditional route and order a wall print. Anything larger than 8×10 is mounted on styrene to provide stability. You would then need to have these prints framed before hanging.

Another option is the stand out mounted print. This is the same as a traditional print, except it is mounted onto a 3/4 inch board with white or black plastic edging. These prints come ready to hang and create a very modern and sophisticated display.

The fine art gallery wrapped canvas is a gorgeous and traditional way to display your portraits. Your portrait is  printed directly onto the canvas which is then wrapped around a 1 1/2 inch frame. Because your image “wraps” around the edge, there is no need to frame. A gallery wrapped canvas is a timeless work of art.

The float wrap print is the most unique display options. Your portrait is wrapped around a masonite board with a layer of foam padding in between to create depth. Your image stands out from the wall and appears to be floating! Create a modern display of your images with float wraps.

Charms are the perfect way for a proud new mommy or grandma to show off their new little bundle of joy. They also make great gifts. The charms can be worn as a necklace or with a Pandora bracelet. All components are sterling silver.

Lay flat coffee table books are the perfect solution for the family that wants yearly portraits, but doesn’t necessarily have a lot of wall space. These books are made with the highest quality hinged pearl paper. The book is custom designed for you to tell your story.

Now for the decision-making. I love all of these options and hope you do as well. I want to create my packages based on the needs of my clients or potential clients. I am asking for your help. Please take this quick poll to let me know what items you would like to see included in my new packages. You can vote for more than one option as I plan on having 3-4 packages.  If you would like to see something included that isn’t listed in the poll, feel free to leave suggestions in the comment section.

thank you in advance

So in love….

I was so excited to be able to photograph one of my favorite couples again. You may remember their session from last year at her family’s barn.

So in love

Jabe and Sabrina are so perfect for each other. Just being around them will make you smile. They decided they wanted to have portraits made each year to document their lives together. They decided to use the same location as last year. I was super pumped about that b/c this land has so much beauty and special meaning for her personally. Sabrina and Jabe, I hope you enjoyed your session as much as I did.

For Jabe, this house is protected by the good Lord and a gun!

Before you were born… Mobile, AL newborn photographer

Before you were born, I loved you

I always love newborn sessions, but when it’s my very own nephew…. I love it even more!

Momma's little man

Introducing Baby Nicolas! He was a little bit old for newborn pictures. I always recommend having them done within the first 10 days after birth. But, luckily, he was getting over a little cold and was pretty sleepy, so we were able to do some of the typical newborn poses with him.

It also helped that he was teeny tiny. I could just squish him all up he is so cute. I can’t wait to hold him again. Although, I’m sure the next time I see him, he will be all over the place. I’m so glad that my sister was able to bring him down for a quick visit and I was able to capture these precious memories for her.

Bouncing baby boy {newborn photographer}

Newborns are my favorite subject. Mainly that is because they change so fast. With each day, you see changes. They lose the wrinkles, get some baby fat, and stretch out during the first couple weeks. This sweet newbie wasonly a few days old and such a good model. He even flashed us a perfect smile! Congrats to Melanie and Brad on your handsome baby boy!
