family photo session {mitchell's}

We had THE most perfect fall day, I mean just look at all the fabulous colors we were

able to get in these photos not to mention this gorgeous family!  We have known the Mitchell's for over 2 years now, met them when we first moved here and it's been so awesome to see their family grow.  

We have been blessed by their friendship and I can't wait for Caedmon and Alex to grow up together :)  

Enjoy!

this one is my favorite!

belveal family

I was honored when Evy asked me to take some family photos for them.

They are such a fun family I had a great time capturing these little moments for them!

alex {newborn}

I had the privilege of taking newborn pictures of this sweet, sweet little guy.  My friend Malinda trusted me enough to test out my photog skills I've been learning lately on her 11 day old, Alex.  

I was pretty nervous, I'll have to admit since this was my first newborn photo shoot.  Alex was wide awake when we first started but after eating once, or twice :) he fell fast asleep and was happy to "pose" for me.  

So here are my favorites.....ENJOY!

lucas {3 year pictures}

Every so often I'll take some pictures for friends.  This is the second year I've done Lucas' pictures.  He's such a cutie and I had a blast trying out my new lens on him!  These woods are right behind my house, which is an awesome bonus!  Here are some of my favorites from the shoot...

I'm still trying to figure out how to get the exposure right as I'm taking the picture because some of these have quite a bit of "noise" when I'm editing them.  It's a learning proces that's for sure.  But I'm happy with how they turned out, as I hope Joe and Meredith are!
