I met my sweet friend Cathy and her family earlier this week. They were vacationing in Destin, Florida, where the beaches were gorgeous but on this particular day, filled with lots of jellyfish. We had a nice time chatting while I snapped away and waited for the sun to hide behind the clouds.
Isn’t her family beautiful?
I did a vintage wash, water-colory process to this one.
J.U.M.P.
The boys -
Baby Will showed off on my second visit to his house. After eating a few times and a round of serious hiccups, he fell fast asleep so Mom and I could get him set up for sleepy pictures.
Isn’t he so handsome?
Mac greeted me at the door with the sweetest, wettest kiss! I felt so incredibly special. I’m not certain, but I think he must have remembered me since I’ve been photographing him since he was born. 
Not only did he give me kisses but he also shared some yummy tree bark with me out in his backyard. It’s so fun to be a kid photographer - I get to interact with kids of all ages, watch their expressions, observe how they play, then go home and see what I captured!
These special boots belonged to his great-grandfather.
And here’s a shot from a year ago when he was just a few weeks old.
We returned from vacation Saturday and heard that a friend from church delivered a sweet baby girl at 23 weeks. Here is her blog http://leahkillingsworth.blogspot.com/ Please keep this family in your constant prayers. Little Laurie has remained so strong and God has answered many prayers that have been said for her. The Bible says to pray without ceasing and that’s what the Killingsworth family needs right now.
I’m on my way out to take some pictures of a one year old this afternoon so be on the lookout for his sneak peek later this week. I’ve been taking his pictures since he was born, although I haven’t seen him since Christmas. I can’t wait to see how big he’s gotten!
I belong to several charity associations. Celebrating Adoption is an organization that provides a complimentary session for new parents of adopted children. I am also a member of Op-Love which is an group of photographers dedicated to capturing memories of our service men and women with their families before and after deployment. The American Child Photographers Guild is an organization that provides complimentary sessions for children that are terminally ill. With all three of the associations I offer a complimentary session, along with a leather-wrapped album containing your photographs, and 20% off additional prints.
If you know of anyone that would qualify for these sessions, please have them contact me at 334-303-8006 or natasha@natashachalker.com
Just a squishy little guy. I could’ve taken him home with me in a heartbeat although I’m sure his big brother would have prevented that from happening. 
I’m so behind on everything due to VBS but it’s been worth it. We had a great time and it was so fun to see how excited the kids were to come to church each day to learn about Jesus! Here’s a slideshow I made of a few pictures I took during the week.

This little guy wasn’t at all interested in having his picture taken. I was able to get some sweet ones of this precious little bundle, and even a few with his big brothers and sister.
I love the way his hand is under his chin like he’s deep in thought.
