And Landon Makes FOUR!

New life.  A beautiful gift.  The family entrusted with such a gift?  Blessed. 

And I know this family could not be more grateful for this gift.  

Precious Landon was worth the heartache, worth the tears, and worth the wait.  

Intricately knit together for such a time as this.  

When we don't understand, God ALWAYS has a PERFECT plan.  

And this sweet boy is PERFECT in every way.

I had a difficult time choosing images to share because there were so many sweet moments.  These are some of my favorites.  I hope they warm your heart on this super chilly Alabama night!!

*In awe of this sweet moment!*

**I mean, seriously?!?!  If that's not a poser shot, I don't know what is!!  And I couldn't decide if I liked the color or black and white best, so I just kept one of each.  Which do you like better?**

Stay warm!

Malone Family

I LOVE watching my clients children grow.  I've been photographing this little sassy thing since she was born.  She's 2 years old now and such a cute little diva.  She melted my heart when she reached up to me and said "hold you".  I couldn't tell that sweet face no so I loved on her quite a bit during our session.  This is such a precious family!  

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!!  :o)

Leonard ~ 1 Year

You know that cute, contagious, full giggling that you can get babies to do if you get their "tickle spot" really good?  That laugh that makes you laugh and turns you into a puddle of mush because its the sweetest sound on the planet?  Well, this A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. little boy, who is about to turn 1 year old (where did the last 12 months go?!), did that belly laugh on his own, without tickles or silly faces, the W H O L E session.  I wanted to just scoop him up and take him home with me.  He couldn't get any cuter and I couldn't adore his precious family any more than I do.  It's been an absolute joy watching baby Jack grow this year.  I know God has B I G plans for him already and he is blessed to have some amazing parents to steward his precious life well.  

Happy Birthday Jack!!  We love and adore you!!!

Morgan ~ Maternity

It was October 28th of last year when I found out I was expecting my 2nd baby.  I was thrilled and already dreaming up what addition we would be having.  It was only a couple of days later when my dear friend, Kayla, who was expecting her 2nd baby, found out she had lost hers.  It was difficult to celebrate the new life within me, knowing she was grieving.  We'll never understand this side of heaven why that sweet baby could not join us here.  But I'm so thankful that God is ALWAYS faithful and His ways are ALWAYS best!  Because that baby was taken away, this precious family is joyfully awaiting the arrival of baby Landon in just a few weeks.  Two sweet boys for this family to love on.  I can hardly wait to capture them as a family of 4!!!  I'm so excited for you guys!

Lacey + Laura + Ava +Pierce

My gorgeous niece, Lacey, asked if I could take some pictures of her for her 8th grade year.  I happily agreed and this turned into a fun session with her, her best friend and I threw Ava and Pierce in the mix too.  I felt like I killed 3 birds with one stone that day.  Yeah baby.  That's how I like to roll.  Ha.  If only I could feel so productive the other 6 days of the week.  ;op  

Lacey - you are beautiful and I am so thankful God chose this family to place you in.  I love your heart, your compassion, even your blonde moments....they keep us laughing.  A LOT.  ;op  I pray you always see the good in yourself and others.  Pursue the heart of God and chase His plans for your life no matter what.  We love you!  

Laura - You are sweet and I am so thankful that you are Lacey's best friend.  It's a joy to know you and to know that my niece has such a sweet friend in you.  I hope you enjoy your pictures!  :o)
