Sweet Family

Just wanted to get this family a sneak peek posted today. These kiddos were gorgeous and FULL of personality! I am short on words today as I am taking care of a sick little guy here and nursing a headache myself, but really I feel like I can let the pictures do the talking.






When you ask a girl to kiss a baby, it's always delicate. Ask a boy, and this is what happens without fail.









Love this one, dirty legs and all!

Definitions of wonderful.

Wonderful is...

To a new parent: a sleeping baby.





To him: a sneak attack from a 3 year old.



To them: 2 healthy boys, a new life, and knowing they have each found their better half.





To her: the knowledge that, despite the odds, her grandsons will never once have to question how much she loves them.









To him: a truck, a cow and jumping on mom and dad's bed.



To them: knowing that your brother's always got your back.





To me. The honor and humility I feel each and every time I am asked into someone's home to photograph their lives. This time, even more so. Becca is a friend,and an amazing mother. Her amazing mother is ever so ill, and the fact that she could be there for this session with her grandsons absolutely touched my heart more than I can express through words. She told me no less than 10 times how wonderful I was to be there, to document some of baby Jackson's first days. I was a little doubtful about that at first, because I really don't feel like the wonderful one in any situation. But then I realized, it all lies in your definition of wonderful.

Old friends.

One of the cool things (of many) about my job, coupled with where I live, is that I have the unique opportunity to reconnect with old friends when they come to the area for vacation. It's always so awesome to see them, because I currently live so far from where I grew up and where I went to school. Added bonus, they usually bring their babies with them, so I get to meet all sorts of adorable little people that I have watched grow on facebook and through email, but might not have gotten to meet otherwise.
Destiny was one of the first people I met at college. She lived on my hall and was in the music program where I started out. Sidebar: I was that person who changed my major just about every semester. When people ask what I majored in, I query "what didn't I?"
She and Brian have been together since the beginning of time. ;) No really, they dated for a long while before they got married, and I fondly remember their wedding. I was so happy for them when they broke the news that they were expecting a little one, and oh.my.gosh is he a cutie! I think he looks so much like his mom, who is gorgeous, so he's a lucky guy!
Anyway, y'all know I could ramble on. Yes, Y'all. Did I mention we went to school in Tennessee? By the end of our session I was easily speaking with a southern drawl.





















Hopefully y'all enjoyed the sneak peek. Your gallery will be up tonight ;)
