Milster Family!

So after I shot the Barnes family I got to shoot Ausin's side! My husband has grown up with this family and counts them as his own.  They are very special to us and it was such a joy getting to shoot them! We went to a beautiful home and spent the afternoon hanging out and laughing.  I know that they are going to miss Austin tons, and I am so glad we got some amazing pictures of the whole family!!

Barnes Family!

Saturday was a day full of pictures! I got the pleasure of shooting two very special families.  First the Barnes, and we had a blast.  I love these people very very much and it was an honor to get to take their pictures.  I have become very close friends with Mallory and I am so excited that she will be back in Birmingham with me for a while! While I don't like the circumstances, we will find joy in ths time! Her husband, Austin, will be deployed for a year and we are going to miss him like crazy! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures, I think they turned out great!

The Lee Family : )

What a fun day!! I finally got to meet this beautiful little girl and I was so excited.  I was so blessed to get to shoot this family, they are simply amazing.  It was so good to get to catch up and spend some time with Robert, Dacy, and little Dacy Caroline.  We had so much fun and I think their pictures turned out so good, it's easy when you have such beautiful people! Love you guys and I hope that you like the little preview!!

Birthdays...party on

So as I sit writing this I think that Ida might be blowing my house away.  Well maybe not, but I do have water in my kitchen.  I did not even think that we would get that much rain in Birmingham, but it has been raining ALL day and the wind has been blowing really hard.  Oh well, a nice day inside to catch up on everything.  This past weekend was filled with birthday celebrations, I put off everything and just enjoyed time with my family.  Friday was my cousin Walker's 16th birthday.  I remember wishing so much that he would be born on my birthday, but he decided to come a little early.  I cannot even begin to tell you how crazy it is to me that he is 16! Where did our little Walkie D go?!? He and his little sister have always meant the world to our family, and to celebrate this day with him was very special.  He had a suprise fiesta party, with all that a fiesta should have.  We had a great time and I think he was really suprised, although the real excitement was the next morning for his driving test...and he has his license!!! woohoo!! Here are some pics from the amazing night!! Love you Walker!

Suprise!!!

Trey and Walker

Some of the group, Miles was pretty confused I think

Jim and Walker ( Father and Son) so sweet

The candy was awesome!

We called this the original 5.

So after the fiesta fun, it was time to go back to Bham for my birthday celebration.  A while back I mentioned to Steve how much fun it would be to go to the Alabama/LSU game since it was the night before my birthday.  This was way before anyone knew how the season would go, and would a great game this would turn out to be.  Well last week my amazing in-laws suprised me with AMAZING tickets to the game and I was so suprised and more than happy.  Steve was such a good sport (being an avid Auburn fan and what not) he was in total Roll Tide spirit and cheered them on along side me.  We had such a good time and it was such a fun birthday present.  So for Sunday, my birthday, we spent the day being lazy, eating cake and ice cream and watching moveis, it was perfect!!!

being "mom"

So last weekend Steve and I got a chance to keep some beautiful kids.  Their parents went to a wedding in Vegas for 5 days and we got to play mom and dad for a little while.  We got it pretty easy, they are so sweet and so much fun, but it was funny getting up for school,  soccer games, practice, cooking dinner, and homework time.  I guess it was good practice.  While we were there I took some pictures of the girls that we have been planning to do for a while, they are so beautiful. Enjoy!

this one is my favorite!!!
