This weekend is crazy busy with a wedding on Friday and 11 mini sessions on Saturday and Sunday. Returning email will be a little slow this weekend, but I hope to catch up on Monday.
In the meantime… I had a little competition from one of my sessions this week. It is ok, I can take it. 
You asked me for them! Do you need a few pictures of your children in thier spring outfits? Have you wanted to schedule a session for a long time and want to try a mini session first? Do you want to do something totally different and try an urban setting for your family? This is for you! These sessions will book up fast and we have already booked two of the urban setting sessions before I released it on the blog. I will be bringing my tutus and some funky hats to both locations. I can’t wait to see who I meet or who comes back in a full day of families!! So much fun!
Here are the details for mini sessions for the Spring Quarter. Here are the details:

Urban Setting: I have a few spots that I love to use that have GREAT color, cool textures, and are totally unique. Once you book the session, I will give you all the details about directions and where to meet.

Traditional Garden Setting:The beautiful Birmingham Botanical Gardens! You can’t go wrong with the first signs of spring, beautiful setting, and lots of diversity in a short walking distance.

And because I need a picture with every post… check a few from the engagement session from back in the fall. They are getting married this Saturday and I am so excited. I love my job… I mean come on… we get to hang out with awesome people like THIS…
One of the sisters in the this family contacted me late on the Thursday night by email. She told me that all of her siblings are in town to celebrate a significant birthday of mom. She knew it was probably last minute but did I have any time for them. Everything worked out where we were able to meet! At our session I learned that one sister just returned from a few years in Korea, one sister lives in another state and brother is busy with medical school! It really was a special time to have everyone together. What a perfect gift to schedule a family portrait session to remember the weekend! I am so glad the timing worked out for everyone!
This little girl’s smile just makes me want to smile back. We had her session at 3 months old at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. My favorite picture is the one where she is hanging on mommy’s shoulder and smiling the biggest smile. Smiles aren’t always so easy from this age. For outdoor sessions they are often so amazed by being outside that smiles are not easy to capture. But, when we placed her here she would give me the biggest smile. I almost had a hard time snapping the picture because I just wanted to smile back and talk to her more. And do you see her hair?? Beautiful! She will have tresses that ALL of the girls want when she gets older. It is already so thick! I am slightly jealous since my Sarah does not have this much hair and they are 9 months apart… but anyway… isn’t she just the cutest thing??
A couple of years ago, Jenifer contacted me to ask if she could assist me and learn the photography business. She had the “fire” and wanted to learn more! I was so flattered because I still feel like we just started out. Over the next year or so we were able to meet and talk shop. I can’t wait to see where her business takes her! When we talked about doing a session where she was on the other side of the camera, I was so excited and nervous. There is nothing like photographing another photographer. Plus, her daughter has “photographer child” syndrome (just like Elijah!) and you never know what will happen. But she would actually pose for me! Maybe I should get her to do Elijah’s pictures!!?? Here are a few of my favorites. Check out Jenifer here.
