So, it was my senior year of high school and the phone rings, and on the other end of the phone I hear, "Hey Elana, it's 'K'. I hear you're planning on going to the University of Alabama next year and I was wondering if you'd like to room together?"...And the rest, as they say, is history...So, 'K' and I, two girls from Savannah, who went to two different high schools and had only met a small handful of times, became Tutwiler roomies our freshman year, and now here we are more than a decade later, with four little girls between the two of us...My how times have changed!!!...As 'K' said during our session, "We've gone from pigging out on Ben & Jerry's Chunky-Monkey in our dorm room, to singing A-B-C's and playing peek-a-boo!"...I'll never forget sitting in my teeny little dorm bed one afternoon, and 'K' running in to tell me all about the boy in her math class that she had just met and was going to marry, and lo and behold, now here they both are all these years later and they just had their first precious baby girl only a few short weeks ago!...I'm so happy to have been able to be a part of it all...Granted, just a small little part of it, but a part nonetheless...So, without further ado, presenting a sneak peek of baby girl C and her beautiful family...May baby C grow up to love Krispy Kreme donuts as much as her momma and I did!!!...-EPJ
I remember when my family went from three to four (then eventually five!), and getting to experience the wonder of my "baby" no longer being "the" baby and officially becoming a "big sister!"...I love being able to experience it through another family's eyes over and over again while behind the camera doing my job...I always say that I have the best job in the world, and it's so true and it never ceases to amaze me...And this sweet big sister was no exception...She was so loving to her new baby brother, so much in fact, that she didn't even complain (too much!) when her new baby tee-teed all over her!...Now THAT'S a good big sister!!!...I had a wonderful evening session getting to know the W family and I look forward to watching these two special little ones grow up and love each other more and more with each passing day...Hope mommy and daddy enjoy these quick little sneak peeks of their precious family, and, as always, I'll be back again soon with more...-EPJ
Yep, two blog posts, two days in a row!...Can you even believe it?!...Well, actually, I should've posted this along with yesterday's post, since I had two sessions this past Saturday (baby J in the morning, and the C family in the evening), but I was nursing a pretty rotten migraine yesterday, so the fact that I was even able to get one session preview up and running is pretty amazing if you think about it...I just knew that two at once would seriously be pushing it!...So, I'm attempting a few edits today, just to tease momma C with until the proofs are ready in a week or two...So, here are a few fun shots of the C kiddos, but I have to use the term "kiddos" loosely, since the oldest of the bunch is 20, the middle is 16, and the "baby" is five!!!...These kids were cracking me up...They (five year old included) didn't want any part of me or my camera, but I think by the end of the session, even though they might not admit it, they had a pretty good time, too!...So, enjoy these fun pictures of your reluctant children mom & dad, and I can't wait to show you the rest very soon!!!...-EPJ
Time really does pass quickly, doesn't it?...I remember the first time I ever met sweet baby J, he was sooooo teensy tiny, and now here it is already six months later and he's growing into such a handsome and fun little guy!...Complete with chubby cheeks and thunder thighs, just like I like 'em!...And boy oh boy, does he love to smile!!!...I was so excited that baby J and his mommy and daddy were here on such a beautiful summer day, so we could get outside and enjoy nature for a bit...Babies always love it outside, and J was certainly no exception...Although, he was definitely all boy because he was way more interested in the cars and trucks driving by than he was me and my silly ol' camera!...Thankfully, I was able to get his attention diverted from the traffic for a few seconds here and there, and I think we ended up with some great shots for the day...Enjoy and as always, I'll be back again soon with more...-EPJ
Bring May SAVINGS!!!...This Alabama weather is something else, huh?!?...Well, I'm ready for the rainy season to come to an end, and the May flowers to start blooming!...So, to get the ball rolling, I'm going to start "blooming" a May deal just for you!!!...All sessions booked for the beautiful month of May, receive a complimentary FRAMED 8x10 print of your choice!!!...Call today to reserve your spot (spaces are limited!) and don't forget to mention the "May" special!!!...Stay dry and I'll talk to you soon!...-EPJ
