MANDY, STEVE, AVA and ALEX | huntsville, al photographer

I am beyond excited to share this session! I had the honor of photographing Mandy of Mandy Owens Photography and her family!  It is always a huge privilege to photograph another photographer's family.  I truly love being able to bounce off ideas and have their artistic vision come to life.   Mandy is an extremely talented photographer, a beautiful writer and an unconditional loving mother and wife.  Her and her family have so much fun together.  Her kids.. are made for the camera.  They are simply adorable.  And their eyes!  Holy moly their gorgeous!!  They welcomed me into their home which they recently moved into and showed me around their property. Ah.  It was breathtaking and I would have every session there if I could :)  Mandy, Steve, Ava and Alex, thank you for such a wonderful session!  I'm so happy you have met you all!

A quote from Mandy.. "I have always had a major hangup about getting my picture made. I LOATHE seeing myself in a picture... maybe that's why I love the other side of the camera so much - it's safe on my side. ;) However, I had to get over myself because I realized there were hardly any pictures with me in them in the seven year history of our little family... and regardless of what i think about myself, my kids will one day grow up and treasure our family pictures, so it's important to have them made."

Meet Anne, Jon, their almost four-year-old son, Aidan, and their 10 month adorable baby, Ellis Anne! Our session started with a pop up spring rain and ended with sunshine and a rainbow :) They came prepared with books, blankets, dolls and a red wagon.. there was never a dull moment! Below are a few of my favorites!

MACKENZIE | huntsville, al photographer

This is part two from Sarah's Bump to Baby session! Sarah and Bryan welcomed sweet Mackenzie into the world last September. The overall joy from parents of a newborn is so wonderful, I can't put it into words. I simply know I love capturing and sharing in that time, especially because they grow so fast during that first year! Sarah and Bryan, congratulations again!
