I really thought things were going to slow down in December since we didn’t have any weddings booked and the cold was setting in. Little did I know that we would book THREE weddings in December in 4 weeks!! Praise God, seriously! We will spending our New Year’s Eve with this fabulous couple at the Tutwiler Hotel and I can’t think of a better way to end the year. This couple has been planning a wedding from out of state so when they were both in town, we scheduled the engagement session downtown. Of course, it was COLD so we  did some family shots in the Tutwiler then bundled up for some couple shots outside. Love it, love it…. LOVE it!

Thanks guys for a good afternoon hanging out, braving the cold… I hear there are flurries in the forecast for Thursday. : ) That would be great!

P.S. Don’t you love the little one in the hat? Great choice, mom.

I thought I would share our Christmas card with you…. I love my babies. Christmas is so much fun with them! I love that they are both getting a little older, it makes everything more fun!

This is one of several engagement portrait sessions from November. Love is in the air… lol. I love engagement sessions because it gives us a time to hang out with no pressure. We met at one of my favorite spots and had the entire place alone. Isn’t she beautiful? This bride really knows how to work the camera, she is super photogenic! We are looking forward to the March wedding.

Here are the winners from our relationship contest. The two families have been friends FOREVER…. the two dads went to elementary school together and the moms told me that the kids have all been friends since they were born. They acted like family too! Everyone was cutting up and having a great time. We changed our location at the LAST minute. I pulled up at our meeting place and said “Are you up for something different?” I saw this spot on the way to our session and I HAD to use it. Awesome location, more awesome family!

Great sense of style, Stunning, Bright…. I really love working with young adults like this! The weather was perfect and so are the results! It was great to hang out with you guys!
