je vois photography

One of my favorite clients, Rachel, sent her friend Blaire to me for infant portraits.  They are so very much sisters from another mother.  Their similarities are uncanny!  This family is so cute, as was their house.  Their newest addition, Bill Louis, is a fifth!!  He was just asleep and happy and snuggly the whole […]

One of the perks of this photography career I seem to have gotten myself into is that I get to go meet babies right after they’re born!  It’s such a precarious time to interrupt a new mom’s budding routine.  But Laura was as relaxed as can be.  I know her from our church, but hadn’t […]

I have gotten to know this adorable family over the last year and a half or so.  When we first started getting to know each other, Charlotte was 6-months old.  I have photographed them two or three times since then and each time I am sad when it’s over.  I could talk to Rachel for […]

This is a special post.  This sweet friend and I have walked through some hard things together.  We met when she was engaged and I was going through infertility.  Life happened, both happy and hard and even when I didn’t see her often, she was always there for support.  She’s brilliant, confident, beautiful, humble, capable […]

I love getting to know families as I document their lives.  I met Amy, Brian and their first born, Jamie when he was 2.  Amy was pregnant with a second little bundle and was SUPPOSED to be on bed rest.  She didn’t tell me til half-way through the session when I asked her to hold […]

Last week I got to meet the baby boy of one of my very first brides.  I can’t believe it!  I feel like Christina and Michael got married THIS August, not August 3 years ago!  (Or was it 4?  Time is flying too fast.)  Aaron was 5 weeks early to meet his mom and dad.  […]

When Michelle emailed me to photograph little Caiden, he was already 4-weeks old, but was born 5 1/2 weeks early!  So, he was still really sleepy when I got to meet him the day before his due date.  Isn’t he beautiful?  He was either having some tummy trouble or feeling sleepy, but either way, mommy […]

I often tell the pregnant gals who call me that I’d like to take newborn portraits ASAP after the little bundle is born.  Very rarely do these gals feel ready or even remember to get that photo session scheduled within the first week or so.  I was SO impressed when Kerry got in touch with […]

I’m a little sad to be sharing these one-year portraits with you since it means my scheduled sessions with Olivia are over!  It’s been such fun to watch her grow and to get to know her sweet mom.  This last session I was especially aware of how big she’s gotten.  Look at her walking and […]

There’s a family who I know would adopt me if anything ever happened to mine.  My mom’s best friend, the grandmother (although she looks and seems too young to be called that) of this bunch, asked if I could photograph some of the day her first granddaughter was baptized.  She had three sons of her […]

On Sunday, a family that is so dear to me had two very big reasons to celebrate.  Their first two grandbabies were dedicated at the same church they dedicated their own two children years ago.  The granddaughters and their parents live in New York and California, with the doting grandparents here in Alabama.  So the […]

While I was away this month, some dear friends had their first baby.  I hate that I couldn’t rush right over to the hospital.  Luckily, Caleb was still very sleepy and tiny so I could take some precious infant portraits.  He’s adorable.  And watching Andrew and Jana with him was priceless.  What a marvelous phase […]

This is little Owen.  I got to meet him 6 months ago when he was less than a week old.  How adorable is he now?  Equally adorable is his big brother Jamie.The real problem is that I’ve photographed this beautiful family so many times that they’ve become friends.  I have to make myself stop talking […]

Surely you recognize this blued-eyed beauty by now? I’ve gotten to see Olivia for the 3-month and 6-month milestones and now we’re already at 9-months.  I think she’s getting cuter and cuter and I had so much fun with her and her mom on this gorgeous spring day.  She’s at the age where crawling is […]

Several years ago I nervously drove to the home of a family from my church to photograph their new baby.  I didn’t know the couple very well and hadn’t shot many newborns, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.  A few hours later I left with captures I knew they would be happy with, that […]
