Mackenzie & Katie

What a beautiful family I got to meet last weekend! I really loved these sweet girls. They have the prettiest big brown eyes and contagious smiles.

Bobby & Will

You remember Bobby and Will? Love these little guys. They're such fun to be around, and they've definitely grown since last year. What an honor to be able watch them grow!

p.s. I've noticed some pictures can look grainy or pixelated on the blog and on facebook, but rest assured that they are not! ;)

Grace

Grace is one of my favorite little girls! She and my daughter Hannah are just one month apart, so they have grown up together and become good friends. I've loved getting to know her and all of her sweet family.

Just for fun, here's a few shots of the BFF's from Grace's 3rd birthday party this past weekend.

Josh & Jessica

What a beautiful, photogenic couple. And super sweet, too. I really enjoyed getting to know Josh and Jessica Sunday. We met at their friends' house in Brewton, and found all sorts of cool places to take pictures. I love going to new places and exploring and working with whatever I can find. I can't wait til Josh and Jessica's wedding next year. They are so cute together, so in love, and so playful. I took Jessica's bridals this weekend too but can't share those until JUNE!

a scheduling note

Come November, I will have a brand new beautiful subject for my camera. A lot of you probably know this but we're expecting another baby! We found out a couple weeks ago that it's going to be another little girl! I always wanted a sister when I was growing up, so I couldn't be more excited for Hannah. She will be 3 in a month, so I think it will be a great age difference, and she's really looking forward to meeting the baby.

What this means for my photography is that I'm going to be slowing things down for the rest of this year. I have so much that I need to catch up on, both personally and professionally! If you think you'd like some Christmas card pictures, please contact me as soon as possible. I'm only going to be taking a few more appointments this year. You can email me at juliecphotography@gmail.com. Thank you for your understanding! I should be back in the full swing of things just in time for spring pictures next year, and I already have a few weddings booked next summer that I'm really excited about!

Emma Grace & Brayden

I got to take pictures of my sweet neighbors last week, and believe it or not, these are taken in their backyard. Isn't it beautiful? It made a great place for pictures. I love pretty 2 year old Emma (she has the prettiest smile!), and Brayden is such an adorable little guy. It was fun to see Emma as a big sister, she's going to be a great one.
