The Daniels Family

My first contact with Jessie was through a contest I was having on my Facebook photography page for the best team supporting picture. I had Blazer's fans, Auburn fans, Tennessee fans, and Alabama fans entering. Jessie sent me a great picture of her, her husband and their 2 children sporting their Alabama gear. The picture with the most "likes" won. Jessie was almost there, in fact I think there were only a few votes separating the winner and Jessie's pictures. I offered her a discounted session for coming in second. I also offered her another discount because her husband is in the military.

I have a special place in my heart for all of this countries military. The soldiers and their families make this country amazing. These individuals make the greatest sacrifices for all of us who live in America. Brent thank you for your service to all Americans again. Jessie thank you for the sacrifices that you make as well, I know it is not easy to be a military wife but I also know and I hope that you know it is an honor.

Jessie and I made plans on several occasions for a session, but with two children and her husband in boot camp they just never worked out. I really hated it, because I was really looking forward to her session. She contacted me earlier this month about getting together for a session. I was thrilled, and of course gave her the same price from this fall.

We made plans and met at the Rail Road Park in Birmingham on February 19. The weather could not have been nicer. There was not a cloud in the sky and it was a great temperature for a February morning.

Her husband was home and I was able to thank him for his service. We did family pictures, and picture of the children. Katelyn was the cutest little girl, and as always girls love to pose for the camera. Brady was turning one so he was at the fun age of just getting good on his feet and a smile that just made you happy. They are an amazing family and were so full of love and happiness. I truly appreciate being able to photograph them. Thank you Jessie and Brent for the amazing opportunity of being able to work with your family. I hope that I have the opportunity again!

Impromptu Valentine's Session with the White's

Everyone knows that 9 times out of ten I will have my camera on hand. This is something I do because I love to take photographs of everything and I never know when the moment will happen. The boys are quite often doing something spontaneous and I love being able to capture that moment. Valentine's Day was no exception. Danny's class had their party and of course I was there to take pictures and spend some time with my Danny Man. When I went to get John Michael from school I was talking to my friend Phyllis. When she pulled Michaela out of the car I was so taken by her precious outfit. She looked like a magazine cover for Valentine's Day. Sam, her brother and also John Michael's best friend was all handsome in his red to celebrate too. Of course I asked if I could take a few pictures. She accepted and I was able to get some really sweet pictures of these two celebrating Valentine's Day! Phyllis thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to capture these two! It means so much to me!
