Ok, so there’s an abundance of boys lately, I know, I know! But how sweet they are, right? More to come of these two very soon…
Kelly (editor, Southern Child Magazine) contacted me recently about using an image for the cover of their May issue. They are such a great publication, and I was thrilled to be a part of it. If you aren’t familiar with it, Southern Child Magazine is a publication devoted to “helping the hundreds of thousands of children in foster care find forever, loving families.” Such an amazing outreach!
Much to our surprise, the photo Kelly picked was of a little boy who had actually been placed in a family’s home at 4 months, was adopted at age 2 by the same family, and is a precious, happy, healthy 4 year old who catches frogs and spends his days with his brothers, and a mom and dad who absolutely adore him. God works in amazing ways, doesn’t he? =)
Please take a moment to visit this wonderful publication – you can find Southern Child on facebook here, on their website here, and you can view their monthly magazine here.
Thanks so much again, Kelly and Southern Child team – I’m so glad to have been introduced to an organization with such a huge heart for children!

Stunningly beautiful child! God’s creation is so “AMAZING” on every level! His plan for your talent and love for children is so much bigger than you realize; it’s only just begun! 
Jen and Meg contacted me recently to get updated photos of their four (yes, four!) boys. They both have 2 boys each, who also happen to be cousins, and they all range in age from under 1 year old to 5 years old.
Needless to say, we had a very active and spirited session, complete with a friendly, wandering (wet!) dog that appeared out of the lake to join us. =) In fact, we had so much fun that we ran out of light, and decided to have part 2 another evening.
Here are a few of my favorites of their sweet boys…
I have to take a second to explain these next few images. =) This sweetie pie was in the process of telling me the story of how he and his girlfriend may have, sort of, accidentally kissed. But of course you didn’t hear that from me.
So much happiness and joy from these little guys —Thanks so much, Jen and Meg!

I am over the moon excited to share an amazing new photography resource with you – the first of its kind!
Laura McPhail of ChikaDeez Photography and Nichole Burnette (Nichole Burnett Photography) have teamed up to produce a new inspirational magazine for photographers called “The Fort”. It’s ”an imaginative and adventurous photography magazine showcasing boys in their element”, and it’s such a great resource. It’s full of boy photo sessions and loaded with ideas and inspiration for them, as well as behind the scenes photos, styling tips, and more to get you going in the right direction.
The Fort magazine will be published quarterly (online), and feature photographers’ work from all over – many that you are familiar with and up-and-coming photographers as well.
I’m also very excited that they included me in the first issue – thank you, Laura and Nichole!
Go find the first issue on The Fort blog here, or view it here, and be sure to like them on facebook here so you’ll be sure not to miss any upcoming issues. Enjoy!

But hopefully, we are done with germs for a while and I can get back to sharing some recent photos!
Our family is getting ready to welcome another little one – Heather’s beautiful baby boy, Hudson, is scheduled to arrive in the next month or so, and we are so looking forward to it. We can’t wait to meet him!
Here are some photos from Heather’s recent maternity session. I think she’s positively glowing and beautiful. Love you, Heather!
