Josie | A Preserve Portrait Session in Birmingham

What better way to celebrate your first birthday than with a portrait session involving your two favorite people & a smash cake?! If you ask Josie it’s the best birthday present, I mean just check out that adorable smile.

I met this girl a year ago for her newborn session & it has been a joy to watch her grow. Check out a few of my favorites from this Alabama lifestyle portrait session & don’t miss the smash cake at the end!

Happy First Year Josie! 🎉 Thanks for letting me celebrate with you.

Benjamin | Lifestyle Newborn Portrait Session

I’ll be honest, this Alabama photographer once avoided newborn portrait sessions UNTIL my couples & best friends started having babies. There’s no greater joy that cheering my clients on throughout life’s journey. Who says we have to stop being friends after the wedding day?!

Now I’ve only known Kylie & Kyle for a year, but when I found out they were adding to their family I was so excited!!! Benjamin was born right at the beginning of this pandemic & since being home have only welcomed a few guests at a safe distance.

I suggested we do a front porch session to keep everyone safe & pop inside for a few in their ridiculously adorable nursery. And the best part?! Their house has so much great natural light that it made my photographer heart very happy. The view from their front door to the couch was perhaps my favorite part.

Can you believe that Kyle made this porch swing for his family?! Just imagine the fun memories that’ll be made out here.

Welcome home Benjamin! You’ve got two of the best parents & I cannot wait to watch you grow up.
