JULIE, ANTHONY, AVA and WOODY | huntsville, al photographer

Meet my cousin and his beautiful family! Julie and Anthony had their first baby girl back in June. Ava Grace is her name, and she was just a tiny little thing when I first met her and oh-so sweet. They gave me warning that Woody, their dog, loves to guard Ava and that she's the first one he checks on when he enters a room. They weren't kidding! He didn't leave her side -- and the entire time he kept an eye on me! Thank you Julie and Anthony for welcoming me into your home. It was such a pleasure to sit in on this special time! Below are some of my favorites :)

ERIN and BROCK | huntsville, al photographer

This summer I was back and forth between Huntsville and Ohio for weddings, weddings and more weddings! Some work, some play (who am I kidding, all play even when it was work!). During those trips I tried to squeeze in sessions like this for my hometown folks! Erin was one of the 5 winners from my Facebook Giveaway I did in March. Brock and Erin have been dating for seven and a half years.. seven and a half years! I figured by the time I blogged this, they would be engaged! (No pressure Brock!) All jokes aside, they are head over heels for each other. For this session they took me to Alms Park Pavillion (not to be confused with Ault Park, which I did make that mistake of going to). I just fell in love with these two (and Erin's gorgeous red hair and cheek to cheek smile!!) Check out some of my favorites below :)
