Are these not the cutest kids you've ever seen????

How precious are they, simply adorable...ok, ok...they're mine, so I may be a bit biased here, LOL. I don't share pictures of my kids often, because honestly, they don't cooperate often. I'm still trying to get a good picture of them together, it's not an easy feat. I can take pictures of everyone else's kids all day long, but not my own...go figure!

Today we went location scouting to find some new places to shoot. I found this great church and they allowed me to get a few good ones (the together one still not happening), so I thought I'd share.

Newborn sneak peek| Muscle Shoals, Al newborn photographer

I had ANOTHER newborn session this week, I tell ya what, all of these adorable babies are making me want another!!! This is sweet baby L, he was such a tiny little peanut and slept pretty much the entire time. Such a joy to work with.





How gorgeous is his mom?????

Adorable 2 week old|Muscle Shoals, AL photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing this simply adorable 2 week old baby girl. She was the sweetest thing! She was so afraid of missing something important, she decided to stay awake pretty much the entire session. With some carefully timed maneuvering between mom taking out the paci & me snapping pics, we got some good "sleepy" shots.





Check out that head control!!!

Giving is Awesome winner| Muscle Shoals, AL photographer

This little guy and his parents were the winners of my Giving is Awesome contest I held back in December. Here is an excerpt from the nomination letter sent in:

"...Braylen was born on August 21, 2008 as a blessing to all of us. Braylen has had a tough start in life, but he is a natural-born fighter. His spirit is absolutely amazing! After being born at ECM, Braylen spent the next 28 days of his life in the NICU at Huntsville Hospital where he was diagnosed and treated for Hirschprung’s Disease, a birth defect which affects about 1 out of every 5000 children. The disease affects his intestines and he had to undergo surgery to repair the nerve cells in his large intestine. Once home, TJ and Jessica began dealing with both the joy and stress of caring for a newborn. However, Braylen’s disease made it difficult to conform to your typical newborn routine. Braylen’s digestive system was very sensitive and his body had endured so much that infection began to take over his body. Braylen has spent most of his time at home on antibiotics to replace good antibodies lost during his treatment in the NICU. While most babies with Hirschprung’s go on to lead normal lives, the doctor’s visits, medications, and treatments add to the pressures of making ends meet. Braylen’s condition has required Jessica to stay home while TJ works to provide for their family, making it necessary to live on a strict budget..."

As you can see from these pictures, Braylen is a happy, thriving 9 month old. And what a handsome boy he is. I had a great time with you guys, and it was a pleasure taking these pictures for you.

Sneak Peek|Muscle Shoals child photographer

I absolutely LOVE taking pictures of siblings, they are so much fun to watch.
They have these special ways of interacting with one another, and even though
they may act like they don't like the other touching them, they give the
sweetest hugs. They can't hide their love for one another when the camera is
around.

These two were SO SWEET, Miss A was telling me how her brother was "wild",
and he was born that way. LOL! But she was such a sweet big sister to him,
wild or not!

Five on Friday...

Today is Friday, right???? Things have been so crazy around
here I've missed two installments of Five on Friday, I apologize!!

I have absolutely nothing interesting to write about today...

1. I LOVE Target, love it. I go at least once a week and am fine to
go & just look at stuff & not buy anything, though that rarely happens,
I usually always leave with something.

2. I have made my bed every day for the last 4 days. I've always
said why bother making your bed when you're going to just mess it
up in a few hours. I made it on sheet washing day, and thought it was
so nice to walk in our room & have the bed made & looking good. It made
ME feel good, so I continue to do it.

3. I have enjoyed Aubrey, my daughter, be on Spring Break this week.
She goes to preschool 3 days a week, and I thought I'd lose my mind
having her home all week long, but it has been very nice. It's nice
to not have to get up & run here & there by this certain time. We've
been able to lots of fun this week. I know she misses school & her
friends, but I've enjoyed having her home with me.

4. I really want to go see Vanilla Ice in Huntsville this weekend..
it may be tonight...but I know my husband wouldn't go for that at all!
I love me some 80's/90's music.

5. That's all I can come up for now, I have to get us all ready to go
to town, which includes a trip to Target...my second this week :)

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Third & final round...

Here is the final round of pictures from The Stork's Nest
Model Casting Call. I know I've already shown the winners,
but I wanted to share photos of all of the gorgeous children
I photographed in those 2 crazy days!!!

And the winners are....

Here are the winners of The Stork's Nest Model Casting Call.
We had tons of gorgeous children, and each session was a blast.
Thanks to all of those who participated, and I'm looking forward
to doing this again in the fall.






These photos will be printed on large posters and will be hanging in
The Stork's Nest in Regency Square Mall. Stop by there to check them out,
and their gorgeous clothing.

Handsome 6 month old|Muscle Shoals, AL baby photographer

This handsome little guy is one of my baby plan clients. I
can not believe how much he has grown since his 3 month session,
and definitely since his newborn session! These babies grow up way
too fast, and I am very thankful that his sweet parents are allowing
me capture him at each exciting stage.

Sweet Sisters|Muscle Shoals, AL family photographer

I had the pleasure of taking pictures of these beautiful girls.
We met up at a local park & the fun began!

More from The Stork's Nest sessions

Here is a second round of cuties I got to photograph
for The Stork's Nest Model Casting Call. And no, this
is still not all of them...be on the lookout for round 3.

The Stork's Nest Model Casting Call Semifinalist sessions...Round 1

I had a total of 21 sessions for The Stork's Nest Model Casting Call.
2 crazy days of picture taking. It went SO WELL, better than I ever
imagined. I'm finally getting around to posting some pics from those
2 days. Here is round one, in no particular order...



I'll be posting more pictures in the coming days. The winners should be
selected next week, and of course I'll post those once I'm notified!

Five on Friday

Yay, I remembered to do this again this week! I'm sitting here
eating my lunch, so I think I'll do a food themed 5 things today.

1. I LOVE to cook. I don't do much baking, I'd rather cook actual
full meals, and and am always trying new recipes & making up my own.
At least twice a month my husband will ask what's for dinner & I tell
him something I just came up with. It's always good though.

2.I'm addicted to Sonic's Vanilla Dr. Pepper. I go there at least
3 times a week & get a Route 44 Vanilla Dr. Pepper...YUM!

3. Speaking of Sonic, When I was pregnant with both kids, I craved
Sonic ice. I get a Route 44 drink, pour the drink out(into another
cup, I'm not wasteful) and eat the ice with a spoon. When I'm not
pregnant, I can't stand ice.

4. I like cereal, but not for breakfast. I like to eat it as a snack,
or before bed. And it has to be the sweet, full of sugar stuff. I
just finished off a box of Fruity Pebbles last night.

5. If I could pick one restaurant to go to, it would probably be
somewhere Italian...Olive Garden, Ricatoni's, or Franks. My husband
doesn't like Italian, so I only get to go once a year, on my birthday
unless I go with someone else.

WOOHOO! 2 weeks in a row, let's see if I can keep this up.

Five on Friday

I'm trying something new here...posts with no pictures ((GASP))!
I've seen this done as 10 on Tuesday, and 5 on Friday.
I'm not creative, nor exciting enough to come up with 10 random things,
so we'll try five. This will be a weekly installment on the blog,
so check back every Friday for new random facts about me.

1. I have a blanket that I have had since I was 4 years old(I'm now 28) and I still
sleep with it every night. I even take it on vacation with us. My husband HATES it.

2. I've never seen Gone With the Wind.

3. I broke both bones in my right arm when I was in 4th grade.
Yes, I'm right handed and it sucked.

4. I'm double jointed in my right elbow. Just my right one, not my left one.
I can put my palm flat on the table & turn it 360 degrees.

5. I have lived in the following states: Arkansas(born there), Massachusetts,
& Alabama.

Whew, I did it. That was tough. I'll be thinking all week for things to list next
Friday! :)

Look at that hair!!! |Muscle Shoals, AL child photography

This is our good friends' baby boy. How adorable is he with all that hair!

Beautiful location, beautiful family

While in Florida, I took some family pictures of my husband's boss' gorgeous family.
We went to this BEAUTIFUL location called Baytowne Wharf. If you're in Destin,
you MUST visit there. It has tons of cute shops, delicious restaurants...
Another Broken Egg has THE BEST omelets EVER...cobblestone walkways, & a nice
playground for kids. It's a great way to spend an afternoon.


Now, on to the pictures...







I HOPE my kids are THIS sweet when they are this age...

Newborn Special

I am needing some newborn pictures to add to my portfolio so I am running a
GREAT newborn special. This is only being offered to THREE lucky people.
Don't miss out, book yours today!!!

Back to reality...

We had SUCH a nice vacation this past week. The beach was gorgeous, and the weather was nice. I ate SO MUCH yummy seafood, I know I gained 10 lbs while we were gone. But it was so worth it. As usual, it didn't last long enough. We're back home, back to the grind.
I am now booking sessions for the spring(YAY for warmer weather!!!), I have the Stork's Nest Model Casting Call semi finalist sessions March 7 & 8...deadline for applications is Feb 15, if you haven't gotten yours turned in yet...I'm actually looking forward to getting back to work, guess that's a perk of LOVING your job!!! :)

Beach Bound!!!

We're heading to the beach tomorrow. While I wish it was going to be a hot sunny 80 degrees, anything is better than the cold here. I'll be back Monday, Feb. 10. I'll have my cell phone & laptop and will respond to any e-mails or phone calls if needed. I hope it warms up here before I get back.

The Stork's Nest Model Casting Call

Applications can be picked up at The Stork's Nest in Regency Square Mall and are being accepted through Feb. 15.

Beat those cold weather blues...

Sweet baby Ayden

This is my third time working with Ayden...the first was when he was still in his Momma's belly, but we'll count that. :) I last saw him at 10 days old, he is now 3 months old. I can't believe how big he has gotten! He is such a sweet baby, with such a sweet smile..when he smiles...I don't think he cared for me & my camera much, everytime he I went to take his picture, he cried. Maybe he was just sleepy, he did take a nap shortly into the session, which made for some CUTE sleepy baby pictures.

Maybe at his 6 month session he'll like me better.


Practicing sitting up, pretty good for a 3 month old!





Naptime




Waking up a little happier









One gorgeous & sweet family
