But,the views paled in comparison to watchin...g these parents love on their precious baby girl. The top moment of this session was capturing her very first steps! What a very special session this turned out to be! See more

This photograph stirs emotions that a million words couldn't adequately describe. I've photographed this sweet family for some time now and like many others hav...e followed sweet Gordy's story since his parents made us aware he would be their little fighter. And fight he has! He is the strongest and the sweetest little boy I've ever met. I loved having him in my studio, along with his big brother, his mama and his daddy. He might just have them all wrapped around his little fingers! In fact, I can promise you he does! See more

Ashley and Dalton came in with their precious Lexi for updated family photos. They're crazy about their sweet girl and it shows! I was so thrilled to do these f...or them. As families grow it's a wonderful thing to keep those priceless family photos updated! We used the field and the greenhouse for these See more

Ain't no brother like the one I got.

Hunter recently came to the studio for his senior photos. We made good use of the field, greenhouse, woods, the bamboo stand and the rocks down at the creek. Th...ere's a whole other story on that one too! Hunter is a handsome and very kind young man. I loved watching the relationship he has with his family. They are all blessed indeed. I expect this young man to go far in life! He will be attending Berry College in the fall, majoring in pre-med. From working with him for just a short while, I am certain he will have a bedside manner that will have his future patients lining up and out the door! Now...the last photo, his session was over but boys will be boys and he wanted one last photo, rolled up jeans standing in the creek. I warned him, it was slick and I fell in the day before while scouting for his session. Again, boys will be boys, forever! Standing didn't happen but, sore, muddy and scraped up did. Through it all he was kind and kept a smile on.

Last little sneak of this precious baby boy. He is just precious! Welcome to the world little one!

The real moments are some of the very best moments. These particular photos of Lincoln and Cruz are just priceless and so very real! Welcome to the world Baby Cruz! Bri Burt Josh Burt Anna Evans Burt PhilipAnna Burt

What a beautiful little family! This sweet little one is loved beyond measure. Welcome to the world little Samuel! "For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him." 1 Samuel 1:27 Rabbit's Nest of Rome
