don’t let the pigeon stay up late | Enterprise Alabama Family Photographer

Natasha — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:57:58 +0000

Have you read any of the pigeon books? These are some of my favorites. You can’t read them without laughing out loud and I enjoy books that make me smile, especially kids’ books because I’m a kindergarten teacher (in case you didn’t know). When I’m not teaching small children, I’m a photographer. Anytime I can incorporate something fun, original or unexpected into a shoot, I do! This family contacted me through Operation Love Reunited to capture some sweet family photos before Dad deploys. I was so very excited to do this for them even though it was HOT, and I do mean HOT outside that evening. I’ve been putting my sessions off until later in the evening when it’s cooler but when the humidity is nearly 99.999%, it really doesn’t matter when we take them because we just seem to melt. From the looks of these kids, it didn’t seem to bother them much.

Making his blog debut – THE PIGEON – and trying to convince 3 kids + 2 adults why he should get to stay up past his bedtime. Big brother was SO proud to read this book to his family. I was very impressed as well. He’s just starting first grade and such a voracious reader. I must pat his Kindergarten teacher on the back (nope, wasn’t me!).

THANK YOU, Daniel, for your service to our country and THANK YOU Charla (and family) for your sacrifice.

Another Hero | Enterprise Alabama Family Photographer

I was honored when Trish asked me to photograph her sweet family. Since Chase was home on R&R, we made plans to do an Operation Love Reunited session for them. I couldn’t wait to meet Miss Brooklyn. I had heard ALL about her and let me say, she lived up to every word, as you can see below. I am quite certain she’s going to be a photographer one day. I taught her all I know about lighting, camera angles and how to avoid cow poop!

Here she is hamming it up – BIG TIME!

Daddy’s girl? I think so!

Thank you, Chase, for your service to our country. I truly appreciate all that you’re doing to endure freedom here in the US.

Thank you, Trish, for your sacrifice. I admire your strength tremendously and I pray the next few months fly by quickly for you.

Brooklyn, your dad is super cool – and so are you!

guess who’s two? | Enterprise Alabama Child Photographer

Mallorie, that’s who! I, for one, can’t believe she’s 2. It seems like she was just born last month. Dang, babies grow into kids way too fast! She’s one lucky toddler. She has one big sister and two big brothers who love and adore her, and probably insanely spoil her rotten!

See?

“Enjoy this moment, for this is the moment of your life” <3

Mallorie wasn’t a fan of the grass so keeping her on the chair was pretty easy. Until she needed Mommy. I was able to get some sweet pinkalicious shots with her balloons and adorable dress…sigh… so, so, sweet.

Mallorie + Mama = Happy Girl!

I just love how her sweet hands are folded right here. Precious!

Silhouette’s are my favorites to capture. It takes some planning and the right locations, right time. We had it all “right” but the rain and clouds prevented us from getting a clear shot. I was disappointed at first but the more I look at this the more I can appreciate it. It’s very different from my other silhouettes. Different is good!

I didn’t forget to snap and “Me and my new friends” shot before we finished up. I love my little friends! Happy Birthday Mallorie! xoxox

beautiful baby boy | Enterprise Alabama Photographer

Natasha — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 00:21:03 +0000

I was blown away by this precious little one. I mean, who can resist a smile so sweet? Seriously?

Beautiful family!

I think he wins the Sweetest Baby on the Planet award!

My assistant and I were amazed at how he slept and smiled, just so content.

And these wrinkles? How I LOVE baby wrinkles!

If you’re expecting and wanting to book a newborn session, please remember they are best done within the first 10 days. One of my favorite things is watching these babies grow up! You can view a sample of my Little Loves Baby Plan HERE and watch a little one grow from a newborn to a toddler.

Silhouettes just happen to be my favorite things to shoot!

beautiful family

When Denise contacted me about pictures with 13 members of her beautiful family, I was up for the challenge. Trying to get 13 people to look at me for at least one shot, when 4 of them are small kids, can be challenging but I was so glad she chose me! I received a blessing when I got a chance to see the love in this family. Wow!

We weren’t sure we’d be able to get all four together – but we did!

The best description I can think of this is JOY. I just love this …

Maddie insisted on me being in a picture, too – so me + the girls. I felt so special, almost like I was in the family, too.

I know, I know, Awwwww

So sweet
