Beautiful..

Meet Hillery and Kasey.. Their wedding was at Barnsley Gardens. Everything was most beautiful and the weather was perfect. They were such a fun couple and I enjoyed celebrating and documenting their day!

Hmm..I am jealous of their photographs and would climb a mountain to go back and photograph my wedding in a more "photojournalistic" style..

Special Little People..

Just a few shots of the some special little people in my heart..

Meet Trouble 1, Fordham and Trouble 2, Annie Rose..

Fordham is my nephew. He calls me "Sissy" and I love him very very much.

Meet Trouble 2, Annie Rose..She is my little girl and is a sunshine to all of us.

Trouble 1 and Trouble 2 are very easy going little ones EXCEPT when they are together.. They just laugh and laugh and try to conjure up things to keep us on our toes. The last little incident was throwing baby powder all over Trouble 1's room..I doubted they would ever do such a thing again after the trouble they got into, but we caught them hiding in the corner last time saying, "Let's go throw powder again." That is when i stepped in, being the 1st born child that I am, and dared them to do it again! ha ha I can't even think of the teenage years yet...

Needless to say, they love each other deeply..

Have I mentioned how much I love this girl? Never, right?.. LOL!

I adore my 2 big boys too and I will post on them very soon! I had to give them a break from the camera this go' round. They were very happy, too! The last time, we were on vacation I wore them slap out with the camera!

Now..Meet Sweet Jack..

He is my other nephew and I think he might be the easiest and sweetest baby in this big world. He did not peep at Thanksgiving. Even during our little mini 15 minute photo shoot, when he was soo very tired, he continued to smile. If they were all had the demeanor of Jack, we will all have 5 children, easily. I promised his sweet Mama I would not post some of his Christmas card shots, so will leave you with one of him for now. Christmas shots will come later..

Wrap it up..

Well this was my last family session of the year. I am taking off the month of December to be with friends and family. One wedding next weekend and then I am done for the year. I am thankful for so many blessings this Thanksgiving season and especially all my sweet families that make Shelli Allen Photography what it is today.. thank you!

Meet Two Precious Sisters...It was a great session to end on..

Meet Anna and Henry..

The morning of the session it was raining on and off pretty much the entire time. Fortunately, our surroundings were pretty close to absolute perfect with all the covered porches, etc.. so rain or shine we were good. . I spotted the yellow leaves the minute I walked up. As soon as the showers subsided, I stuck them out and shot away. They were so easy going and so up for anything.. I love love love....

Just A Walk..

This session made me SOOO HAPPY! When I chatted with Mom about their session, all she requested is that I capture their everyday life, which includes their daily walk around the neighborhood. Not only did I appreciate her simplicity, it also made me appreciate the “little things.” I had the pleasure of not only “following” their little walk, but also “capturing” it.

Meet Finley and Harper..

Two Precious Sisters...

They have the most AMAZING backyard with little pond, fish, rocks, etc.. All the happy Fall color made for really amazing shots!

I want to go live in their backyard. My boys would be in heaven! Maybe the parents will let me rent it for a summer.. ha ha

I look back now at my 8, 6, and 3 year old and it seems so long ago I had hands like this in my house. Oh how I miss it and would give anything to have a photograph like this to remind me of those days..

J.Crew is missing out...

Meet Taylor and Ryan..!

Could she get any cuter??

She is pretty much the definition of cute, uh! Her personality is right up there with this cute look she has! I saw the hair and my heart skipped a beat..

Meet Little Lainey..

My heart has been so full and overjoyed this week after visiting a little girl named Lainey. God made Lainey very special.. She was born with a condition called Spina Bifida. It is a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord or its coverings. It was the highlight of my month and will be for a very long time. I felt so honored to be able to be entrusted with her...to look thru my lens and capture this precious angel. Her smile warms a room as you can see above. I felt so blessed and honored to be a part of their lives...even just for this short while. Here is a little sneak peek for Lainey's Mommy!

Meet My Little American Girl Dolls...

These 2 little sisters, Caroline and Anna Kate, are quite precious! They look like little American Girl dolls! Don't we all wish we had skin like this?

Meet Little Rhett..

This is Little Rhett.. Yes, I know, he is an absolute doll! Enough said..

Meet Emma Grace..

Meet Baby Emma Grace! I get to see alot of this little baby girl! She is one of my 'Remember Me' babies and this was her 3 month session. The last time I visited Emma Grace she was 2 weeks old.. I wanted to take her home with me.. You can find more information on 'Remember Me' sessions located on my info page of my website.
