We welcomed two new little members into our family this year! I'm sure you guys have seen my baby niece by now, so let me introduce you to our baby nephew Esau. He is such a sweet, laid-back little guy, and we can't decide if he looks more like his mom or his dad. We're so grateful he is happy and healthy, but I do think he is growing up too fast! (Don't they all?!) He is very loved by his parents and by all of us who know this little family. If you hear us calling him Stickle, it is because his four-year-old uncle decided to name him that-- we have no idea where he got the name, but it kind of stuck! Anyways, I know you guys are all here to see pictures, so without further adieu... :)
Baby Rhett & Family, A Six Month Session
One thing I love about this family is that they aren't afraid to be silly and just have fun in front of the camera! We got some sweet traditional pictures, but I'm glad I was able to capture some fun, more candid shots as well. Thank you guys for happily walking around downtown with me, ducking into a little alleyway and taking advantage of the beautiful old brick and rustic backgrounds! :)
Bailey Family, Lifestyle Session
This session was so much fun for me, because I was able to take on a style of photography that I love! Sarah had sent me some pictures she would like for me to use as inspiration for their session, and I was excited when I saw that they were all family documentary photos-- more of a "day in the life" session than a "sit here and smile" session. I had been wanting to try this for a while, because those are the pictures I love most from my childhood-- the ones of us playing outside, candid pictures snuggling with my family, the silly ones full of spontaneity and adventure. And the Bailey family was perfect for this, they just played together and had fun like it was a normal evening and not a photoshoot. They painted, baked some cookies, had a pillow fight and jumped on the bed, climbed trees and played ball, and when big brother got home we snuck in a few of the "posed" family photos because it is good to have a few of those as well. :)
