Close Family

Every time I look at these photographs I am overwhelmed by the sweet smile on this little one.  It is not every day I can get a true laugh out of a game of peek-a-boo, but this little gal loved every minute of the game.  We had a wonderful time exploring Birmingham’s Booth Park and saw two of her favorite animals, dogs and ducks, which also brought on endless smiles.   Thank you so much Close family for sharing some time with me, it was an absolute pleasure!

Rockwell Family

I met the Rockwell family when their mom contacted me to use some photographs of mine in the templates on her Etsy shop-   https://www.etsy.com/shop/RubyAlexanderDesign.  From there we set up a photo shoot for their family and used the beautiful backdrop of their backyard.  The fall leaves were in full bloom and so were endless smiles from their little two.  What a fun bunch to work with.  The entire shoot you could see how much each family members loved and cared for the each other.  Thank you for letting me visit your home and get to know you all, Rockwell family!

Boerema Family

I had such a wonderful time with the Boerema family.  They have been such a big part of my niece and nephew’s life and it was easy to see why.  The family easily joked back and forth with each other, making the shoot comfortable and natural.  As kids get older it seems it gets harder and harder to get the family together for a few photographs, so I am so glad we were able to make this work!  I hope you enjoy the photographs, Boerema family!

Ehresman Family

I always get a bit nervous when I meet a family for photographs and they are overwhelmed with boys.  Little boys just have this tendency of needing to be on the move and wiggling at every moment (which is also what makes them so fun to work with!)  The Ehresman Family relieved my little boy fears in about 2 minutes, as we sat down for the first photograph and they practically turned into perfect little models- sitting just right and smiling at all of the right times.  The boys loved and cared for their little sister in such a sweet way- she is one lucky little lady!  We had so much fun during their shoot and these little ones continuously made me laugh the whole time.  I am so glad I was able to officially meet you all as I hear great things about you all the time from my nephews! Enjoy! 

Faley Family

The Faley family has grown since I last saw them at Milford Central Park!  Erin was pregnant with their little guy and now he is a little person!  As a photographer I have so much fun watching the families I photograph grow over the years.  We also fit this photo shoot in on one of October's only rainy weekends, but the fall colors were beautiful and everyone was a trooper.  Since sitting directly on the grass was not going to be an option, I brought along a few vintage suitcases as props.  I loved the way these photographs turned out and I am sure the suitcases will make many more appearances in future photo shoots.  It was wonderful seeing everyone and thanks for sharing your morning with me!

Mason Family

The Masons are great family friends with my sister and her family and I have been lucky enough to share memories with them from trick or treating, to soccer games, and bus pick-ups and drop-offs. Now we can add family photos to that list! Thanks so much to the Mason family for braving what looked like a completely rainy day for their family photos.  I talked to the family before their shoot and they said let's just do it, who knows when we will be free next (3 kids in soccer can make for one busy family!)  By the time we got to the park and started their pictures we even had the sun peaking out for a few moments.  Their sweet family made the shoot relaxing and enjoyable.  Thanks everyone for a great afternoon!

Miller Family

It is hard to believe that little Parker is only a little over 3 months old.  He seems like such a little man with a huge personality- lots of smiles and faces full of expression.  We took these pictures at a beautiful little park near downtown Birmingham.  Parker was full of life until the last picture.  While I was posing his mom and dad he simply decided he was photographed out and fell asleep in his mom's arms- so sweet!
