these guys...

have watched amanda pearl photography grow and clearly, these guys have too; in what seems like the blink of an eye. zachary was one of my first infant sessions when i was just getting started; and every time i see this family both mom & dad remind me of just how much they love those images. actually, those prints are still on their walls in their home. that makes my heart so full.
so fast forward to now; and these two kiddos that have found their own spunk & personality; some updated portraits were needed to add to their collection. downtown solomons was the spot we picked & despite giving us the first taste of winter (aka a wee bit chilly) the day could not have been more splendid. it was refreshing to see these familiar faces and watch just how much these kiddos have grown.
thanks again cail family! oxxo

masterminds...

you know, the movie. well, maybe you don't. i didn't until hailey reached out and sent a trailer from it and said she wanted to have an engagement session that was similar. HOLD UP! after doing the whole bouncing up and down chuckle while sitting in my chair when i watched it, i could not believe that this potential new client who i had never met wanted me to capture their engagement session in this light. if you haven't seen the trailer, it is worth a watch; and i dare you to not crack a smile. i'll go one step further; here's the link.

after getting the details workout out, it was evident that we were going to get along just fine. these two have a sense of humor that parallels mine. less face it, i've accepted the fact that i am quirky, awkward and pretty much one of a kind.
they were able to find the perfect location and well...we had a pretty remarkable session. of course, we had your typical engagement session first, which was almost just as fun. i love when a couple is down to earth, able to laugh at and with each other and let their true personalities show. troy and hailey, i wish you nothing but belly laughs for the rest of your marriage. oxxo

ohhh these firecrackers...

just melt my heart. every.single.time. i was grateful when mom reached out to have a fall session with these beauties. we picked a new (to me) location and it just might go down as a new favorite. the charlotte hall welcome center provided a little bit of everything we were looking for. big brother devin had me in stitches from the minute he got out of the car. and lil' sis peyton, well she is following in her brother's footsteps. she wants to do everything he does and has her own side helping of sass. i love it! here are a few of my favorites from their session. thanks again for the sweet little reunion! oxxo











did i mention sass??!
