So excited-

This little ones family Rocks! Little Mr. J is just under a month old and was such a sweetie he really didn't get upset and let us do so much with him.

I so enjoyed hanging out with him and his family.  Since I do so much studio work and their home was the perfect canvas for natural light we let it rip.  Miss. Kaitlynn joined me on this session and was a huge help to have there.  I love the sparkle of the eyes that is one of my favorite things to get and really hard to get at least for me on a newborn.

So Here is Mr. J- one sweet guy.

Scheduling Sessions-

The Whispers Team has been extremely fortunate lately because we have had the opportunity to meet so many new and wonderful families! Because we have been so fortunate, we are now scheduling one - two months in advance for weekday sessions and three months in advance for weekend sessions. Please plan ahead and call to reserve your session time!

Thanks,
The Whispers Team

Baby you're SUPER Cute!!

This is to me one of the most perfect ages- they can't walk yet and think everything you do is funny!   so  it totally works out they want you to pay attention to them and make them laugh.  

Meet baby Addison- SHE is CUTE and she knows it -  We have had this fabric and chair for awhile now it is on loan from a great friend.  I have wanted to use it but haven't found the right little one that I knew would stay put and wear a REALLY big flower on their head.  Well 2 minutes with Addison and you know she is the right one.

She just got in those two bottom teeth and she will sit there and stare and laugh with you while her mouth is in a perfect circle shape playing with those teeth.  She is a total kick and didn't get mad once during the session.

Thanks Addy's Mom and Dad for coming to play with me today I TOTALLY loved hanging out with you and I hope you have a safe drive back home.

I am off to a baseball Game:)  Go Joe's Diamond Backs!!!!

Petite Queen-

Little Emma- HMMM how does one tell a story of the Petite Queen-  Well Emma knows what she likes and she will let you know.  We did her not to long ago and I totally lost track of time and forgot to post this little Queen.  She gave us a run for our money.

Her Mom and one of my best friends is also a photographer and Emma knows not to look at the Camera which is Hard when all you want to do is capture those sweet eyes.

She also doesn't like to hold flowers she likes them sprinkled at her feet to walk on:)

Miss Emma is a sweet little Queen and I so enjoyed my time hanging out with her.

1st-

Dear Kristin,
I have twin daughters, Laura and Rachel, who are 6 years old. My husband and
I adopted them from China when they were 13 months old and they are the
light of our lives. We have truly "Americanized" them.  They have little
southern accents and love fried okra and grits! Like a lot of busy families
we eat out more often than we eat at home. One day I picked the girls up
from day care and as soon as we were heading home Rachel said, "I want to go
eat at Applebee's tonight."
Having already decided that we eat out way too much I was planning to cook
dinner that night so I replied, " no, tonight we are eating at home". After
a moment of silence from the back seat Laura said, "Well then, when the man
brings the food - I want pizza!" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at
the idea that my children think the only way to get dinner is to go get it
or have someone bring it to us! 
As you can see from these pictures I took on a visit to the Montgomery Zoo
last summer, they are beautiful beyond words.  I would love to have photos
that capture not only their physical beauty but also the beauty of their
souls. I know all adoptive parents will understand when I say that I
couldn't love them more had I carried them in my womb rather than in my
heart.  I hope you will consider them for your photo contest. Thanks so
much.

2nd-
I know everyone thinks their child is the brightest, the sweetest - and certainly the cutest. And I'm no different - but what gets me the most is the things he says. How could so much whit and humor come from such a young man? (Caden is 3.)
One afternoon, Caden and I were on our way to meet my mother (Granna) for lunch at our favorite Tuesday lunch spot. From the back seat I hear, "Granna's a ...... treat ... But we don't get to eat her, but she's a treat to me."
Another time Caden was playing harmonica with my husband and he asked why the other side of the harmonica doesn't work: "Did they just patch it up so no music will fall out?"
And the other night at the dinner table we were praying before dinner. Every night is the same. He makes us all hold hands and he prays. Then he lets go of our hands and wants my husband and I to hold hands and pray again. This particular night, Caden asked God for a baby. All our relatives swear they did not "plant" any ideas in his head. He's just a loving little boy. Our family feels so right now. I love who we are, but I know things will change for sure, either with another little angel to bless our home - or as we just all age together. Being a parent makes your heart swell, your moods swing and humbles your soul.
We've always planned on getting professional, beautiful pictures taken when our family is "complete" (Caden is our only child so far), but when I saw this opportunity, I jumped. Thank you for the chance!

3rd-
Shelby Ann Ball is my Angel.my gift from God..my miracle.  Shelby burst into this world 13 weeks early (weighing 2 pounds 2 ounces) and blew my world apart.
She stayed in the NICU for 47 days and when she FINALLY weighed 4 pounds, they let me bring her home ON OXYGEN.  For the 3 months at home when she was on oxygen, I was not only her mommy, but also her nurse.
I lived and breathed for her, praying everyday that she would be OK.  Her little system was not even developed enough to make her feel hungry and cry.
So we had to wake her up every 4 hours and feed her.  We kept her wrapped in
3 blankets and covered by 3 more because we didn't want her burning to many calories to keep herself warm.  We could only hold her when we were feeding her, because babies grow best when they are quite and sleeping.
   I tell you all this, because to look at her now, you would never know what we all went through.  Shelby is a firecracker!!   When I look at her face I think about all of the things she has taught me over the past 21 months.  I think I have learned more from her so far than I did in the 28 years before she was born.
She has taught me to laugh, be silly,
love always, trust unconditionally, dance, scream with joy, try new things, be spontaneous, challenge the rules, walk to your own beat, and just live life!!
   You see, before Shelby was born I was a planner and I mean planner.
If it wasn't on my list, it wasn't getting done.  I think God knew I needed someone to shake up my life, so he sent me Shelby at 27 weeks.
It was not the birth I had planned and she has "rocked my world" from day 1!! 

When I look at her face, I sometimes think of her rough beginning.  But, most of the time I think that she my living proof that miracles do happen, Angels do exist, and God is GREAT!  I would love for you to capture the many faces of my miracle.

Shining like a work of art!

I don't know if you all know this but it doesn't matter if we are on our first session, third or last I get sick before I have a session.  I have this terrible case of nerves my stomach hits the floor in fact it happens more now then it did when I started. 

So I was REALLY nervous today-

I am so lucky that I get to create images like this one.  Arden's Mom and I had all this worked out and when it is laid out on paper it doesn't seem as big as when  truck load of stuff comes into the studio and now you HAVE to make this work because there is so much riding on it and lets face it .... IT is going to be really cool.

So today I spent my morning with Arden Grace a sweet 3 month old that we convinced she should sleep. and lay in and around a bunch of classy cool items from her home.

There are so many from the session that ROCK but I just love the element of surprise and I know that is going to kill Arden's Mother.

Her Daddy was the BEST he kept us on track and made sure everything moved smooth and he got everything out of the truck and back into the truck in record time:)

I am delighted with EVERY picture we took today and can't wait to show you them all.

FIVE YEARS OLD

Grace is Five today.  Today is the day that she came into this world and she has been showering her family with her sweetness ever since.

I met Grace about hmmm.. I want to say 3 years ago.  Grace correct me If I am wrong.  Her Mom was pregnant with her brother Owen.  I remember meeting her because I turned to Tonya who was helping me and said "Man look how pretty her hair is." I also remember that our daughters were the same age and how I thought man they could really get along they are so much a like.

Well that day at the Botanical gardens 3 years ago EVERYONE knew Graces name because I spent most of my time calling it out at her to turn to me she as so enthralled with everything at the gardens she could of cared less about pictures.  I don't really blame her the Gardens are very pretty.

Well Grace came today for a princess birthday session.  She brought with her Great Grandmas pearls and  wore a special tiara and dress.  She was beautiful and I want to tell her and my daughter to stop growing I am happy with this age and I am just a little sad every time I think next year they will be older and what if they don't want to dress up anymore.

SOOOOO I will enjoy this time as I know Graces Mom will too.

Here is GRACE she is FIVE!!!!

Little Man on a bike!!

Little JACKSON!- Now if you knew how far we have come you would totally understand why I LOVE this image.  Jackson and his big sister have to warm up to me and it takes them a few minutes to remember that "Hey maybe we do kinda like her".

Their Momma knows to stand a side and let them remember me so it is always funny to see just how they will be when they come in.  We have learned not to worry and just let them be.  We are going on two years doing this we know they will let us know how far they will go.

Well Jackson just leaned in on that little bike and gave me all these great looks I COULD not of asked for more.  He was amazing today and I want his Mommy and his big sis to know what a good job they did too.

Thanks for bringing your little guy in today.

Here is Jackson.
