The Wilmore Family

 This was a fun family!

Their little boy is such a bundle

of energy!

 His sense of adventure gave me an opportunity

to get a few shots of his Mom and Dad

all by themselves!

And letting him work off a little

energy helped him be able to

sit still and pose for this!

I love it!

I have had this pose - at this location -

stuck in my head for about 3 years and

have just now been able to

do it.

It turned out exactly as I

imagined it!

I've done several engagement

sessions at this location

and normally pose the couple

kissing and try to get the reflection

in the water, but I've always wanted

to incorporate a child.... or children!

And this family was perfect!

 



Spenser, Keith and Tinsley!

The weather had turned cold and the

trees had lost their fall leaves,

so we did this family portrait session

in the studio!

Aren't they a gorgeous family?



 I love to see little girls who

are in love with their Daddies!

 And little Tinsley is a Daddy's Girl!

 She's such a sweet little thing, too!

Just look at that adorable face!

 She's the serious type and they say

she doesn't smile a lot

but I got a few smiles!

 See!

 She even smiled in a few family photos!

 And she was good while I took a

few pictures of Mom and Dad!

And look! I think she looks like her

Daddy for the most part!

But then again - she's BEAUTIFIL

like her Mommy!

 

And while I prefer to shoot family

portraits on location, when the weather

isn't going to cooperate or there is a

little one involved that might

not like the cold or the heat,

a studio session is a viable option!



Joycelyn is ONE!

 This is Joycelyn!

I had her in as a newborn

and have seen her several times since then!

She was a preemie!

A teeny tiny bundle of joy!

 And look at her now!

She's an adorable One Year Old!



A CHRISTmas Blessing!

I took some time off

for Christmas, but during my time

off I did accept one newborn session!

I did this little one's Mommy's maternity

pictures, so I was looking forward

to the newborn session!

And if I had waited until I was back to work

in January she wouldn't be a newborn

any longer! Isn't she darling!

I did several other photos,

but I love this one!

Probably because it fills me with

a feeling of blessing!

It's a reminder that the

very first CHRISTmas

and every CHRISTmas after that

was all started with a blessed event!

THE BIRTH OF A BABY!

CHRISTmas babies just make my

heart melt. Can you imagine what Joseph

and Mary must have went through with

no crib, no disposable diapers, no bottles,

no pacifiers, no baby wipes or onsies.

We buy so many things that we could easily

do without and spend so much time

working to pay for those things that we fail

to show our children the love that

was shared in the stable on that

first CHRISTmas.

Let's allow Christ to fill us with

His love this year.

And let's show it all year long!



Brayn Jr.'s Christmas Pictures

 Just look at this little bundle

of sweetness!

 He is a gorgeous and HAPPY baby!

 He is the son on Lindsay and Bryan

whose wedding I did just a few

years ago!

 He came in for Christmas Pictures

but when I do Christmas Pictures, I like

to do a few no-occasion pictures also.

Bryan Jr. had a Puppy Hat,

so we did Puppy Pictures, too!

He even made little Puppy Faces!

I love the way he works the camera

at two months old!

And this takes me back to when

I first started taking pictures

for his Momma & Daddy!

They wanted pictures of their two

Pit Bulls and were calling around to get

info and most photographers turned them

away. I didn't! And I've been rewarded

with several sessions since!
