Sweet baby Benton has got the most squishy cheeks and the most steady gaze. He took our photo session very seriously and didn’t make a peep the whole time. Congratulations to the Kings on the birth of their most precious boy!

The Fritz Family
I love fall family photo sessions. I mean, what’s not to love about little girls in cowboy boots and leaf fights in the front yard?
The Pearson Family
The family is God’s greatest masterpiece.
One
One year ago today, we prayed for God to hear our cry for a baby. While we were despairing over the hole in our family, a miracle was brewing in Texas. Because on this day last year, an amazing woman gave birth to a baby boy, and then proceeded to make (what I have to believe) was the hardest decision of her life. I harbor more love for her than I could ever put into words. She is the bravest, strongest, and kindest person. And because of her love for her son, I became a mother.
One year ago today, we received the phone call that set into motion a new chapter for our family. The last 365 days have been both exhausting and exhilarating. There are days that I look at my boy and can not believe that he has been entrusted to us. He is the epitome of joy – generously doling out smiles and giggles to anyone he meets. He is curious and observant. He loves music and animals and playing in the water. His life is a daily reminder of God’s mercy and kindness.
Happy First Birthday to my miracle Milo!
Banner
In adoption, there are lots of days that are painfully hard. And then there are days where you get a phone call that your son has been born. Suddenly, the agony of the wait is swallowed up by joy.
This family has a unique and beautiful story. It’s a story that is near and dear to my heart because it’s woven together with so many of the same threads as my own family’s story. God has sustained the Teals as they waited for their son and He has blessed them with the most beautiful baby boy. The scriptures contain many references to the banner of the Lord. In victory over enemies, Moses declared that the Lord is our banner. Isaiah prophesied about the banner that will be lifted up to bring the people to Christ. A banner makes a declaration. The life of this Banner is a declaration that the Lord is good.
“He brought me to the banquet room, and his banner over me is love.” ~Song of Solomon 2:4
Hannah
At just a few weeks old, baby Hannah is already expressing her feminine side. She’s dainty. She’s delicate. And she looks amazing in a tutu. This sweet little lady has got her daddy wrapped around her tiny little finger. It’s pretty easy to see why!
May
Sweet baby May has arrived. I would tell you all about her precious parents and their clear adoration for their new daughter. But their smiles say more than my words ever could.
Hank
Meet Hank. He weighs three pounds, he can just barely climb his way up the stairs, and he has the sweetest little puppy face you’ve ever seen. These siblings have had one week of getting to know their new pup, and they are all completely smitten.
The Fritz Family
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the Fritzes are so delightful! What better way to kick off the holiday weekend than with this beautiful family?!
The Garver Family
Little kiddos and the mamas and daddies that love them – it’s always my favorite thing to photograph. It’s even sweeter when it’s another family that has ties to the great state of Alabama.
