Well y'all, its been ten days since his actual birthday and I'm still a little bit in denial that my tiny baby is a year old! His birthday fell right as we had a trip out of town, so while I made sure to take and process these photos before we left I'm just now getting a chance to share them all with you.

When I first met Shannon and Cory for their maternity at Railroad Park in Birmingham, I knew it was going to be a mmagical evening. The light was already turning it's gorgeous evening gold, and the summer heat was finally starting to go to bed for the evening. We spent the first part of the evening playing with big sister N, doing our best to coax some pictures out of the precocious little girl.

Baby D turned 10 months this week, which means it's about time I shared his nine month portrait session with y'all. These photos were a bit of a long time coming, originally I had wanted to do them at eight months while we were at the beach. Alas that fell through due to a variety of circumstances and they got pushed out until a couple weeks ago....

About a year or so ago I started thinking about how much fun it would be to do a photoshoot along Main Street in my old college town, Montevallo. See, lots of people (myself included) do tons of photoshoots on the University of Montevallo campus; but I'm not sure I've ever seen a full portrait session done on Main Street.

A little over a month ago I met Bethany and Thomas at Buck Creek in Helena. The sun was just starting to drop as we wandered through the trees to take photos. The light streaming through the spring leaves gave the little wooded area we were in a truly magical feeling.

Last Sunday I had the distinct honor of taking Brittany's senior photos. We met that evening at Railroad Park in Birmingham as the sun cast it's gorgeous golden light around us.

The evening we met Jonathan and Lauren in downtown Birmingham was a gorgeous one. As the sun set between the buildings we wandered around the block, talking and laughing and taking beautiful photos.

A couple weeks ago I got to spend the weekend up in Nashville with my dear friend Adriane. In addition to hanging out and having a great time exploring the largest second hand bookstore I have ever entered, we also took her graduation photos!

Every year as spring approaches I look forward to celebrating Easter with my family. One of our yearly traditions has become gathering whichever of the cousins are local and getting them together for Easter photos.

The teasing warmth of spring was in the air when we met Bret and Emily at Railroad Park in Birmingham. The sun was already hinting at the gorgeous sunset to come as we walked around taking the first few photos of our session. As we moved through the park, talking and laughing as we went, I had a feeling that this was going to go down in the books as one of my favorite sessions. I wasn't wrong.
