Talbots | Washington Square Family Portrait Session Mobile, Alabama

“Can you believe that we’ve never had professional family portraits taken?” was what Ellen, an Alabama family photographer, confessed to me. To which I responded, “let’s fix that ASAP!”

We started discussing locations for her very own family portrait session, when we settled on this quaint little park nestled in between the most beautiful oak trees away from the busyness of downtown Mobile, Alabama.

*Quick tip to all the sweet moms out there: parks provide some of the best locations for family portraits with small children. I love shooting in local parks because it allows us plenty of room to roam about & get some of that energy out! ⁣

Enjoy a few of my favorites from the Talbots family portrait session. I know you’ll fall in love with their little boy just like I did.

This kid! Absolutely precious & equally hilarious.

I just adore this sweet momma! Isn’t she gorgeous? And so loved by her two boys!

*Sometimes mom & dad need a few portraits of just them. Because, let’s be honest, the last time they probably took portraits together was on their wedding day!

Olivia | Lifestyle Newborn Portrait Session

It’s no secret that I love weddings BUT reconnecting with a DMP couple to photograph their newest little addition is definitely high on the list too. ⁣Amanda & Lance said 'I Do' five years ago in Demopolis, Alabama. And just welcomed a sweet baby girl into their family. 🎀⁣⁣

I absolutely loved catching up with them in their sweet home to photograph their growing family. I am so thankful that they've trusted me to capture their biggest life moments thus far.

Oh hey there sweet baby girl!

Lucy was very protective over her little sister & of course had to make sure I was treating her well. But also wanted a few close ups of her own!

Every little detail in Olivia’s nursery was adorable, wouldn’t you agree?

Welcome Olivia! We’re so glad that you are here & cannot wait to watch you grow up.

Proud Parents: Amanda & Lance

Olivia | Summertime Birthday Portrait Session

My how fast a year goes by! Olivia turned ONE & brought along her parents to celebrate.

You might recognize her parents as one of my DMP couples. Two years ago, the Roberts danced the night away on the boardwalk of the Five Rivers - Alabama Delta Resource Center. And a year ago, we snuck away to Dauphin Island for their maternity portrait session before their baby girl’s arrival.

Olivia just so happens to be my niece & it has been so much fun to watch her personality develop over the year. Excited to see her grow up!

Ruffle butts are hands down the cutest thing ever! Add little thigh rolls & you’re golden!

You know I had to sneak just one couple photo in their family session.

Happy One Year Olivia! Excited to watch you grow up!

Addison | Tea Party Portrait Session Downtown Tuscaloosa

Addison celebrated her first birthday as any little girl should - with a tea party. She rolled into a park nestled in Downtown Tuscaloosa in a carriage. Yep, you read that right. This princess arrived in her own carriage that once belonged to her mother & grandmother.

This girl is full of personality which comes as no surprise if you know her daddy, Joseph. And she’s got her momma, Meg, to thank for the the prettiest eyes & smile. From engagement portraits to wedding day to awaiting baby to smashing cake with their sweet baby girl, I consider it a treat to watch this family grow over the years.

Happy First Year, Addison! Thanks for letting me come to your Tea Party - it ‘twas delightful.

You know there’s a Southern momma involved with all the monograms - cute little bloomers included! Peep those sweet chunky thighs, too!

It should also be noted that Meg made this cake & wanted to incorporate her grandmother’s china into Addison’s birthday celebration. Love all the family touches in this portrait session. Now let’s eat cake, shall we?!

We just had to get in a few mother/daughter portraits too! Meg, thank you for allowing me to love your family as it grows. I love watching you & Joseph parent Addison well. Ya’ll are rock stars. And well Addison is so stinking adorable of course!
