Not only do we love vacationing with our cousins, but it also means I get to do their family photos. We all love Destin and the white sandy beaches but also the beautiful blue water. Jessica is so good at color coordinating what they wear for the perfect pictures! Love them!!

Love the Jones’ family so much!! Carter is growing like a weed and still as sweet as ever!!
So, I’m sitting at bible study this morning and as I’m looking around admiring the house we are in, I can’t help but notice that there aren’t any family photos on the wall. They have a beautiful home, vaulted ceilings, and room for a photo, but it’s just not there. Then I started thinking, wow, at every house we’ve been at each week, that is the first thing I do is look for photos on the wall. I know it’s just the photographer in me but it is that, that inspired me to do this blog post.
Sometimes I think people don’t want to hang photos because they aren’t sure how, other times I think its because they don’t want family photos because they want to lose weight, or let their hair grow out or some other silly reason. Either way, there is nothing prettier than seeing a family portrait up in a home. Not only does it bring life to the walls but it makes the house feel “homey”, if that makes sense.
So for those of you out there that haven’t had portraits done because of some silly reason, I’m going to gripe at you for second. GET THEM TAKEN!! Years from now whether you are the same weight or still have the same hair or if everything about you is totally different, you’ll be glad you have something to look back on and mark that moment in time. Trust me, your kids aren’t going to look at the photo and say, ‘Wow Mom, you had some crazy hair going on in that picture!” or maybe they will but by then it will be funny! haha
If you are needing help hanging photos on the wall, my first piece of advise is go BIG!! I’ve never had a client say, I wish I would have gotten a smaller canvas. But I have had them say, Man I wish I would have gone a little bigger. Trust me on this one!!
If you haven’t already, check this link to my pinterest page.
It shows tons of different ways to hang photos. The one I love the most is where you actually tape paper to the wall to see how you want the photos displayed, and then just hang them in that spot. That is for anyone out there that is a visual person like me. I like to be able to see how it will look before I start punching holes in the wall.
I hope this helps those of you who still have cd’s sitting in a drawer somewhere. 😉

Ok, so they say that the first step is to admit when you have a problem, right? Well I’ll admit, I’m terrible about blogging. I’ll do good for a month, ok well maybe a week, and then I get behind again. It’s not my strong point at all. But I’m determined to step up my game. I CAN do this….I WILL do this!!
Generally I’m one of those people that likes to start fresh on a new month or new week or even a new year but if I wait until the new year, I’ll be even that much more behind. So, there is no better time than the present. That means today I will start blogging again. Some of my sessions are old, I mean REALLY old. Like, last year. BUT, since my style is the same, the only difference you may notice will be clarity. I HAVE perfected the clarity of my photos over the past year. Thank goodness!
Be on the look out for lots of gorgeous clients. Feel free to leave sweet comments ad let them know how awesome they look. And I’m sorry in advance for hogging your feed!
Have a great Sunday!!

Oh how I love this family!! I’ve been doing their photos since sweet Cora Love was in her Momma’s tummy. I’m not gonna lie, it was a crazy, fun, chaotic, wild…did I say chaotic…lol session but I loved it. I was so happy with the results of their family photo. Even Sunni, the dog, was happy! haha! Since it was Cora Love’s 1st bday pictures and Rhett’s 3rd bday pictures we got a few extras of them. 🙂
Check out these two cute Aggies. We had so much fun at their family session. Played a little football, searched for frogs at the pond and called the cows up.
