Welcome to my Blog!!

Hi, I’m Alyson, a wedding a portrait photographer based in Huntsville, AL. I love Jesus, my family, photography and life!!! So much of our memory is tied to photographs. Just one picture of a special time or moment can bring back a rush of memories and emotion. This blog will keep you posted on all my new weddings and events. My personal page shows a little more about my life and what I’ve been up to!! Please send comments if you have any questions or just want to say Hi! Enjoy!!









Expecting Joy

Friday, September 5, 2008

I imagine this will be my last post before the girls arrive as things have been crazy busy!! and I haven't had time to blog about anything. But I just wanted to share some pictures and thoughts about what's been going on.

I titled this "Expecting Joy" because that is the title of a devotional I've been doing over the last few months that has been such a blessing to me. It has helped me to stay constantly reminded that while there are a million things going on that maybe aren't great... I have SO much to be thankful for...and I am carrying 2 miracles!!! Praise God!! So no matter how big I get, how little I can move (or how much it hurts when I do) It is all worth it and a cause to praise Him. So be praying for us as we near the end. I am almost 33 weeks and the babies will be born by 37 at the latest so we are close!!

My sister took my maternity pictures for me about a month ago and I couldn't be happier with them. She is not only an amazing photographer but a best friend I love so much!! Here's one image but click the link to see the slideshow:

I know Emily is sad we are taking off for a while...but hitting the bar at a wedding?? Just kidding, she was loading up on water :)

Ok...so I had trouble getting up from this one and was laughed at by everyone!! The shot I got was gorgeous this was Emily making fun of me

It's coming along! (it's more done than this now but I haven't taken a new one) But it probably won't be done until about 2-3 weeks after the babies arrive, so we'll be moving with 2 newborns!! At least I don't have to think about moving now!!!

My college friends threw me my first baby shower! It was so fun and they gave me amazing gifts!! Including the double stroller!!!


By the way this is the way I'll be doing all future blog posts...linking to my Picasa web albums...much faster and more likely to get done!!

My grandparents got to come down for my Hartselle baby shower and it was so exciting because my grandad has had a rough road this year. So I was sooo glad they were there!!!
Photobucket
Yes they are fanning me and feeding me grapes :) I got hot!!

I was so blessed by all the family and friends that were able to come to the baby shower and were all so generous in gifts to the girls. We are so thankful for everyone in our lives that has helped make this time so special for us!!!
