Miss Olivia is a brand new addition to my friend Beth’s life. I met Beth through work in the Cardiac ICU. When she asked me to photograph Olivia’s first days, I was beyond thrilled. We had the best afternoon together and I loved getting to snuggle and capture this precious one’s brand new-ness. Thank you Beth! Olivia is so lucky to have you as a mom and the two of you will make the sweetest team in life. All my love ~ Rebecca:)

I met this sweet family at their home on a beautiful fall morning to photograph their most precious new addition. We did a few baby images on a beautiful animal fur blanket that speaks to what they love. Then we moved on to some family images, as well as some with the family pup! And then closed out the morning with some remaining sweet baby poses. Little miss Laney was the sweetest and most cooperative. And I had the best time getting to know her parents and hearing all about their travels and life between ttown and out west. This is truly a special family! Thank you M & C for inviting me to capture your newest love! I’m looking forward to keeping up with you all and watching this most special new adventure in your lives! Cheers ~ Rebecca:)

beautiful newborn baby girl | tuscaloosa newborn photographer

I met this beautiful girl at 7 days old in her home with mom and dad. We had a wonderful morning together, getting to know one anotheI Ioved photographing them. Mom and Dad were so smitten with their baby girl and she is so lucky to have them! 

It was such a special time as she was born just before Christmas so we were able to get some amazing Christmas Tree and lights images. I'm in love with these images. Enjoy a few of my favorites from our time together. Cheers~

perfect fall family session in alabama | tuscaloosa child photographer

I met this perfect family at Capitol Park in downtown Tuscaloosa on a beautiful fall evening. We couldn't have asked for better weather and lighting. The cutie pie older boy is in the same preschool class as my youngest and they LOVE each other! And the precious baby chunk is just too adorable. We had so much fun and I'm in love with the images we captured. My most favorite is the one of mom and her baby love <3. Enjoy a few of my favorites from our time together! Cheers~

family of 4 | tuscaloosa family photographer

This family is so special to me! Delaune and I were sorority sisters and had the same major at Samford University. I always loved her so when we decided to move to Tuscaloosa, she was the first person I reached out to for advice about the town. We knew John from Samford as well and now he's my dentist. They have the cutest little boys, Morrow and Landry, who were both so perfect for our session.

We met at Capitol Park in downtown Tuscaloosa. It's one of my favorites for family sessions because there is green space and architecture for some variety. We got some adorable Christmas card images and then a lot of beautiful images of the family in their matching light blue clothes with perfect lighting. 

Thank you for asking me to photograph your family, Delaune and John! Enjoy a few of my favorites from our time together. Cheers~

brother love | tuscaloosa child photographer

A perfectly sunny evening in Tuscaloosa allowed time for me to capture a few images of my own boys on The Quad, in front of Denny Chimes, and the President's Mansion. I managed to sneak in enough of 2-year-old brother, but big brother was a dream and completely cooperated for these images! Nothing makes me more excited. I can't wait to print some of these and get them on our walls!

baby sister makes 5 | tuscaloosa newborn photographer

This beautiful family welcomed baby sister to make their family of 5 even more perfect. I was honored to photograph them at their gorgeous farm home one afternoon and LOVE how these images turned out. Mom, known to us as Mrs. Leslie, was Jack's preschool teacher this first year that we lived in Tuscaloosa. We were so nervous about moving to a new town and new schools but when I met Leslie at the beginning of the year, I knew we were in a great place and Jack would be in good hands. I was right and Leslie was the BEST that my Jack could have possible had for his last year  of pre-K before elementary school. We adore her and are so thankful for the care and knowledge she gave him throughout this year. 

I met brand new baby, Magnolia Emeline, whom they are calling Emeline on this June afternoon and she was GORGEOUS. But what else could you expect with this family?? Older siblings Sawyer and Mary Ella were so proud and so much fun to photograph. Their personalities are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. And as you can see in the images, Mom and Dad are beaming with pride over their children.

Leslie wore a gown from my maternity collection that are all always available to my moms...either for maternity, newborn, or even family sessions! 

Enjoy some of my favorites from our time together <3

6 day old newborn star wars & puppy love | tuscaloosa newborn photographer

This awesome family contacted me after I photographed the newborn of a friend of theirs. I met them at their home on a Saturday morning in August. They were so much fun and I enjoyed getting to know them as well as grandparents, an aunt and cousin who were all in town for the excitement.

Mom and Dad were both prepared for this session with all kinds of fun props! They are dog lovers so ordered a custom puppy crochet outfit for their newborn. So adorable! Dad had purchased a tiny Yoda for his little Padawan to snuggle in a few photos. I just love when both parents get into these sessions! Enjoy a few favorites of this little love...

she's ONE! | birmingham baby photographer

This family continues to have a special place in my heart. I have photographed them so often that they've become friends and I always enjoy their company. Joseph was one of my first newborn sessions, then we met for 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and one year sessions. A couple years later and baby sister came:). I was able to photograph her fresh 48, newborn session, and again 3 month, 6 month, and 9 months sessions. And here we are at Miss Vivian's ONE year. I can't believe it. 

We met at their home for some pre photo session tacos, delicious! When the time was right, we moved down the street to a favorite spot with greenery, a covered bridge, and water. It was the perfect evening! Enjoy a few favorites...
