Josie is 12 Months Old

The fact that Miss Josie is a year old is a fact that is hard to comprehend. I have watched her grow through the lens of my camera. The first photo session she could not even hold her head up and now she is walking around and so full of personality.

She was quite the character when it came to shoes. She reminds me of my own John Michael as she just does not like them. They definitely made her pout, which broke my heart.

She made the pretty princess in her pink, and paired with her rain boots it was perfect. She liked playing with them more than wearing them, but that is okay. All I know is I would wear those rain boots if they had them for grownups. I love them.

Josie was fascinated with the mirror and the fact that there was another baby, that looked just like her. I do not think she liked sitting on her very much but looking at her was great. Josie blew kisses and smiled for the little girl who looked like her! It was such a sweet moment.

When the moment was paired with her Daddy's old jersey from when he play for CenterPoint it was magic. These are a surprise from her momma and her to her daddy! I hope that he loves them as much as I do. It is such a simple picture that has so many precious moments and memories all combined and now are tomorrow's memories and they have been captured to be shared with many generations.

Who says Princess's only wear pink? This Princess can work the camo. Add a little lace and a bow and she has an outfit made for a princess.

Josie is an amazing child. She made my day and so did her momma. We had the best time at Hewitt Trussville High School. The new campus is amazing.

If you want to capture your little one's moments and have them to share with generations yet to come contact me and we will make it happen. Children grow so fast and as Kenny Chesney says "Don't Blink." Having photographs of your child allows you to look back and step back!

Avery Lee

Meeting Avery Lee was a blessing in itself. Her mom Mary Lee is an amazing person as well. She was also very patient.

Avery was not very happy about getting her pictures done, expecially when the tutu was involved. She was not having it at all. We still managed a few cute pictures, and of course one with the tears flowing, it is a memory that will be cherished forever now. And will also get a few laughs as Avery grows.

Avery has some of the most amazing blue eyes (definitely inhherited from her mom). Photographing her in a blue band and flower were great as her eyes were truly popping.

Photographing babies is always a great experience. They all have so much personality and Avery was no exception. She was precious with a lot of personallity.

We took a few shots with her and the wreath that was made especially for her by Crystal of Crystal's Creations.

The session was just a great one overall. I hope that I have the opportunity to photograph her again. I know that she is going to grow into a beautiful little girl.

If you want to capture the sweetness of your child, please let me know and we will make it work. http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ or Monicathach@gmail.com or (205) 229-1865.

Ashlyn Models

Poshy Tots is the cutest store for little girls. Find them on Facebook and on Etsy. If you have a daughter I HIGHLY recommend visiting her site.

She needed an outfit photographed and I was given the opportunity. Ashlyn was kind enough to help me make this happen. Actually Ashlyn's mom was, but Ashlyn was a great sport.

I know that this is an outfit I will continue to use in photo sessions as it has a timeless look to it. I love it!

If you own a company and need your products photographed let me know. I can get models of all ages if needed. If it is just a product we can make that work too. Contact me at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ or Monicathach@gmail.com or (205) 229-1865.

Again, thank you to Poshy Tots and Lindsay and Ashlyn!

Alexa is Four Weeks Old

So the saying goes...."Time Flies When You Are Having Fun." As a mom myself I have learned that Time Flies...yep that is just it as a mom time goes by way to fast. Kenny Chesney's song, Don't Blink, says it best in my opinion. It seems like I just got the call that Alexa was here and now I have done her four week pictures.

I love watching babies grow. Watching my own has been so magical but to watch others grow through the lens of my camera is amazing to me. I feel like it is a blessing to be able to capture a small moment in time of a child's life and give it to the parents to treasure forever.

To me photography is so much more than a picture, it is a memory. Children change daily, if you have never taken the time to notice, there is no time like today to start. When you photograph these memories they should be shared and treasured.

Alexa is a beautiful baby girl. She has an amazing strength and will probably be walking sooner than anyone will be ready for it to happen. Capturing her while she is still is almost impossible, as she likes to move.

She was still not a fan of the tutu, but most babies are not. While it is so cute and makes the best pictures, it is also something that the babies just do not like. As she grows she will love to twirl in them but for this session she was glad to be out of it.

I cannot wait to get back to see Alexa and take some more pictures and help to preserve today's moments into tomorrow's cherished memories.

Karen's Baby Belly

As a photographer there are several events that I am blessed with being able to photograph. Maternity shots are always so beautiful. Being pregnant is such a special time for any mom. Being able to capture this beauty is something that I love doing.

I think that all baby bellies are gorgeous. I have yet to see one that is not. A baby belly is a miracle that we can all see probably daily if we pay attention. I love to be able to capture this miracle for the mom and the whole family.

Not having maternity pictures with either of my boys is something that I regret. While I have stretch marks and was embarrassed I look back now and wish that I would have.

When Karen told me that she was pregnant I knew that these pictures would be around the corner. I am so glad that they finally got here. Karen is a great mom and is looking forward to the newest addition to her and Steve's family.

Braylon is coming soon. I do not think that Karen is going to make it to her due date. Actually she did not, she had Braylon last week and I cannot wait to stop by her house and visit and of course take some new pictures! Karen had already been to the hospital when we met to do her maternity pictures and I was glad that we got them done, since she did not even make it a week afterwards.

Karen was truly glowing and is a beautiful mom and mom-to-be. Her and Steve have the nursery ready for Braylon so we had a few pictures in there as well.
