SO Glad to Meet the Gladdens!

Amy called me back at the beginning of summer, and once I FINALLY called her back, we decided the heat was a little much and we should wait till later. This was probably a wise choice because, though very hot, it was not the 100+ temps we were having early in the summer. I just had such a great time with this family! They were so much fun and so comfortable to be around (can you say ADORABLE?!?!?!)... from the kids to mom and dad to the dog... we just had a ball. I fell in love with their pictures in a way I can only fall in love with precious family photos and I am so glad I got to do their session! Gladdens, I hope you enjoy your pictures for years to come!!! :)

Davis 8 + Nana and Papa

This tradition, as long as I have known it, is as old as Emma is. Her first Christmas, she was 7 months old, and we took the kids to Sears to have their pictures made for Nana and Papa. Back then, there were only five kids. Back then, I did not take pictures as a business. Back then, we did pictures as a surprise for Nana and Papa. Back then, life moved a little slower. Seven years later, there are eight kids who are photographed by Davis Photography with Nana and Papa and it is a whirlwind of a holiday and life! Davis Cousins, here’s to you... may you always get as much joy out of being together as you do right now.

Two Looks Good on Cameron!

I was really excited when this adorably cute and funny little guy's mom asked me if I could take pictures at his 2nd Birthday Party. I have really enjoyed getting to know his mom, Jessica, and hanging out with he and his adorable sister, Jaylee. His daddy, Jay, is a bit of a legend in his own time (his own mind?). :) In all seriousness, this family is a real blessing to our church and I have been lucky enough to have gotten to photograph them at Christmas as well. Jessica did an awesome job planning his Florida Gators party, all the way down to the drink colors! Happy Birthday, sweet Cameron! You are one good-looking two year old!

Just to Prove that the Photographer Doesn't Even Always Get What She Wants....

This is the disastrous attempt at a Christmas picture for my grandparents. These are their nine great-grandchildren: Andrew, 14, Chloe, 11, Emma, 6, Kassidy, 6, Eli, 6, Elisha, 5, Kelsey, 4, Yasmine, 3, and Dylan, almost two. I wanted to frame a lovely enlargement of these dear children for Grandmother and Grandaddy for Christmas... whew. Looks like I'll be shopping for sweaters and bathrobes after all! :)
