This is Will, and I’ve been photographing him for a few years now.  It’s absolutely amazing to see how this once little baby boy has grown up into a pint-size man!  I can only imagine that he’s going to get even more handsome as he keeps growing up.

Will is everything a sweet little boy should be, happy birthday again!  (Thank you also to Will’s mom, who ROCKS!)  I had such a great time with this session, and can’t wait to see Will again in the future for the next one.

Jessica is one of the most awesome two-year-olds I’ve had the pleasure of photographing.  She is incredibly wise beyond her years and was such a joy to shoot and hang out with.

Doesnt’ Jessi have the sweetest little face and some of the cutest looks you’ve ever seen?!  Thanks to her mama Holly for sharing this little gem of a girl with me.  I hope we can shoot together again soon!

I would like to take a moment to showcase my holiday sessions in one big blog post.  Thank you to everyone who booked with me, and a HUGE Merry Christmas to them, and to all of you reading!  There will be lots and lots of photos in this post, get ready!  Thank you all so much for your support and faith in Once In Every Life Photography, and I look forward to working with you in 2010!

A while back, I met up with Ty to shoot some senior portraits!

Senior portraits are a really special; they capture a time of your life when everything is changing, when you’re growing up and finding your way.  I’m so pleased that Ty chose me to capture this time of life for him!  Plus, one of my favorite things to do is senior portraits for guys, they end up looking so handsome!

As you can tell from the previous photo and the next one coming up… we found some really cool old, vintage buildings to shoot by.  Not only do they add some funky texture, but Ty’s youth really pops against these dilapidated buildings.  Ty, thanks again for choosing me, and I hope you love your photos!

This is the beginning of Kristie’s Trash the Dress bridal session in Hoover, AL.

Twenty minutes into the shoot as everything came together and the photos started getting really beautiful… it began to POUR rain!

We planned on multiple locations for this session, but only completed this one so far.  Kristie and I will finish this shoot if it KILLS us!  Hopefully the rain won’t follow us to the upcoming locations!

Farilyn and her mom joined me on a dreary morning at Botanical Gardens for some portraits.  The day turned out to be just awesome! NO RAIN!!  With all the bad weather we have had we decided to just chance it since we had re arranged our sch sooo many times already- it was worth it!!  Thanks for bringing your princess to see me Brandy!

I wanted to share a quick sneak peek from a session I shot on New Years Day at the Botanical Gardens. After battling the wettest December I can remember in YEARS the 3 of us were finally able to shoot- and it was a GORGEOUS day!

Raven and Brandon are a really awesome looking couple- aren’t they?? I had a really great time working with them and I am gonna have a hard time choosing the ones to edit. I am super stoked about their upcoming wedding in March!

I will add some more pictures in a few days!

Baby Seager was so tiny!! Leigh Ellen had us over one afternoon for Lil Seager’s debut!! She started off a lil fussy but after about an hour she got full and then dozed off and on for the rest of her shoot. I had a wonderful time capturing her fist portraits and hope you all love them as much as the family did!! We shot this session in home- no need to bring a precious new baby out! Can’t wait to see you all again!!
