Alexa is Two Months Old

Let me start by saying I cannot believe that Alexa is already 2 months old. She has grown so much and is such a sweet baby. I am so glad that I have been able to be a part of her life, at least capturing her at different points for her mom and dad to cherish forever. I am already ready for her three month pictures. So many cute ideas.

For these we went to the Aldridge Botanical Gardens in Hoover. We wanted to make sure we had some in her Halloween costume and since they had the pumpkins and the great fall colors it seemed like the perfect place.

I am so glad that we went there. It was cold and we had to work fast but it was a great day.

If you want to capture those little moments for your little one contact me and we can make it happen.

Beautiful Bri

Bri has just turned thirteen and one of her gifts was a photo shoot with me. This was certainly an honor for me and I had a wonderful time. She seemed to have had a great time too.

We chose to do this at the Aldridge Botanical Gardens in Hoover. The fall colors were in full force and the day was absolutely perfect for a photo shoot.

I do not think we duplicated one pose as we walked the gardens and let Bri have a good time modeling.

She is a beautiful girl and was great to work with. I hope to be able to work with her and her family again soon. It was a great day with great company. As a photographer there is not much more that can be asked for.

Bri had a beautiful smile and a beautiful personality. I had to ask her if she watched America's Next Top Model because she definitely knew how to smize....or smile with her eyes.

If you want to work on your smize give me a call.

Taylor Brent

Taylor's mom hired me to get some pictures of her daughter and a few of her family. She was mainly concerned about getting updated pictures of her daughter, especially ones that would show off her gorgeous blue eyes.

We decided to meet on Morris Avenue. This is a great spot for anyone, but was perfect for Taylor's photo shoot. Being able to walk a few feet and have a completely new and unique backdrop is always a plus. It allows for me and the person I am photographing to have a little change. Morris Avenue is one of the oldest streets in Birmingham, possibly the oldest, and overall it is still preserved which makes it perfect for photo shoots. I am so glad that this was the location we decided on.

Taylor was great to work with. She is a beautiful girl inside and out. It was a privilege to photograph her, and I hope to get to work with the family more. As they were all great to work with.

The Baker Family

This photo shoot was the first time I met the Baker family. They are a beautiful family and they loved to smile, which is always nice to see especially when it is picture time.

We did these pictures at the Aldridge Botanical Gardens in Hoover. It was a great time of year with so many trees at their peak fall colors as well as some leaves on the ground, making for perfect pictures.

This was one of many Christmas sessions that I have this seasons. More coming soon.

Beautiful Peacock

I love sessions that have personality and are fun. While each session in my opinion is fun and unique some are great.

A friend of mine had asked me to photograph her daughter in her Halloween costume. Sophia is a beautiful little girl. I have come to know her from Danny's class they have been in class together since 1st grade. Being in 3rd now, Sophia is used to seeing me with my camera. I always bring it to their classrooms for various events.

We decide that the Birmingham Botanical Gardens would be the perfect place to find a Peacock and it definitely was. With the many options for locations in the one location we were able to have a lot of fun and get many unique and fun shots of Miss Sophia.

The Peacock costume was so cute. Her mom is definitely more creative than I am. There was so much personality and character in the costume and it showed off Sophia's personality and amazing blue eyes so well.

I can honestly say I am not sure I have ever seen a prettier peacock!

Crystal at Crystal's Creations made me a customized BOO for Halloween. This is going to be one of my favorite Fall props for many years. Thank you Crystal!

Sophia was full of spunk, even though she had just returned from a girl scout camp out. She has a gorgeous smile and a great personality. She was so much fun to work with and I hope that I am able to work with her again.

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.
