It's the beginning of fall, but for whatever reason I feel like singing the L.O.V.E. song. That's how it felt photographing this sweet, sweet family.They have been one of my favorite clients that I have photographed over several occasions. Brandon and Jessica hail from Alabama. They may be a house divided on their Alabama football loyalties, but they are ever so together on how they feel about each other and their little family. To top it off, they have some of the sweetest girls you will ever see. The ever so compassionate Lily, who looks at you with her soft brown eyes and gentle smile, and her precocious little sparkly-eyed sister Kinlee. In tribute to them and to the L.O.V.E. song I thought it might be fun to share some of their shoot with you and throw in a sweet tune so click on the tunes and gander through their session! If you want to know the real reason I do what I do? It's all about the Love.

As I sit editing yet another beautiful family session, it makes me reflect how special families and the fall season truly are! Each family member is like a leaf changing from green to a mass of bright golds, oranges and colorful reds. Every person unique in their own way, and yet "perfect" for the floral bouquet we call "family." The fall season goes quickly, the wind blows, picks and carries the leaves off to a new place and winter sets in. Our lives follow suit. Thanksgiving is approaching, Christmas soon to follow. Schedules are jammed with activities,to do lists get longer, and the little things get put to the side and forgotten. Maybe, it's that phone call to catch up with your mom, or friend. Maybe, it's taking that walk through the park with the kidlets. Maybe it's spending the time to take family photos. You may think to yourself," we'll do it next time, or let me wait for the right day, or when I lose ten more pounds". Unfortunately time doesn't stand still , children can't ungrow, hips don't lie and moments don't repeat themselves for that luxury. Today's sneak peek is of a sweet family that ran into a similar situation. It's been awhile since they were all able to get in front of the camera, but I am so glad they did. They took me to one of their favorite places to unwind, and I spent that afternoon clicking away . Sometimes the "perfect" place isn't a million dollar view, but where you hangout..sometimes the "perfect" clothes aren't right off the racks but right out of the closet. Sometimes "perfect" is just being you, loving your family without a care in the world. I hope you have a "perfect" weekend and tackle those things you left forgotten.. The "perfect" time is now. :)
