The sun peeked through the green trees in Hoover, AL. We weren’t expecting it to show off for us for Kelsey + Josiah’s engagement session with Leigh Ann Goodin Photography. The weather had been cloudy, and rain threatened us all week. It even brought in a cold front in the middle of what had otherwise […]

Mia Rose was born on March 27th at 5:54 pm, and a long day for her family. She weighed 9 pounds 2 ounces and has the sweetest rosy little cheeks! I can tell she’s already a sweet girl. The only time she cried during my visit was when the nurse pricked her sweet foot for […]

The downtown Birmingham, AL forecast was only calling for a 10-20%  chance of rain that evening. Casey + Eddie were all ready to go for their engagement session with Leigh Ann Goodin Photography. Halfway downtown, the bottom fell out. The forecast had been the same the day before, and not a drop fell during my […]

The weeks continued to pass, and Dianna continued to grow and get stronger inside her momma’s tummy. This seems so normal, so routine. But for the Cool family, it was an answered prayer. It was an answer to many, many prayers. This normal was new to them, as Dianna’s big sister Brenlei was born by […]

I sat at the foot of a cross in a corner at church and held Ashley’s hand. Me on one side, another sweet friend on the other. We cried, and prayed, and expressed our frustration and sadness. We let it all out, and held our sweet friend’s hands and let her grieve. Fast forward almost a year to […]

The December weather was mild and breezy. We spent the afternoon dodging rain, and had already rescheduled from the day before. God was smiling down on us, because we just faced a few drops (and it was fun to pop out the clear umbrellas for a few sets). It was so great to celebrate so […]

I literally jumped up and down!!! Lauren and I have been discussing pregnancy announcement and maternity pictures since before her and Joey’s wedding in September 2017.

The nursery was perfect. White with accents of gray and navy. Sweet Scarlet and Violet were so sweet in their fluffy dresses. Baby Shores couldn’t have been calmer or in a better mood. It was the perfect make for a newborn family lifestyle session with the Turners! You may remember the Turners from their session with me last […]

2018 has been such a fun year for me! As I look back on 2018, on how much I’ve grown and how much fun I’ve had, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude: To God for sending me the most amazing brides and clients in His timing. To my husband for taking on a lot of extra responsibilities around the […]

Finally, a day for shooting in December that wasn’t overcast! The perfect light was shining as the sun was setting in Hanceville, AL. We had all finished a huge Christmas lunch with my husband Josh’s family. We celebrated with gifts for the kids and dirty santa for the adults. Ashlyn’s due date was just three […]
