work work, trying to fit in personal time with our spouses, grocery shopping, cooking, ugh the list goes on and on... But with all of the daily tasks it is so hard to fit in that dedicated one on one time with our children, especially when we have more than one! When we do take a few minutes to give our children our undivided attention we know how incredibly rewarding it is! And yet it still seems so hard to make the time to do it, at least for me anyways. But, with a Mommy & Me Session it is such a fun experience that also counts as dedicated time with your child/children! They will have such a blast goofing off with you that they will remember it for years to come! And the photos will be a constant reminder of how much love there is between you. The light shining through a mommas eyes while looking at her child... ah, perfection.
Our kids grow so fast. It sounds cliché to say their childhood is gone in the blink of an eye, but it's really true. I look at my 13 year old on a daily in disbelief that he is now taller than me, has armpit hair, and more often than not has that typical teenager attitude. I am thankful he is growing up to be a strong and handsome young man. I am blessed to be his mom. I'm proud of the person he is becoming. But, I so long for the days when he would crawl up in my lap for a snuggle or a story. I yearn for the times when I could pick him up and tote him around. I miss his baby breath so much! Haha, I know, that's super weird but I swear it was better than puppy breath! It all goes by soooooo fast!!!! I could never imagine how quickly his sweet childhood years would be gone. I will, and he will too, forever cherish the photos we have from the many professional photo sessions we did together through the years. It is beyond important to document your family, your successes, your babies, all of it!!!! through photos! A Mommy & Me Session is a wonderful treat for you and your child/children! And you don't have to wait until Mother's Day to do it. These sessions are perfect for anytime of the year, and can be enjoyed as a full session or a mini-session!
Check out these two gorgeous girls, and the fun they had in their 30 minute mini Mommy & Me Session!
St. George Island, FL is an amazing location for portrait sessions! There are so many options for backgrounds, and the sunsets never fail! As you can see in the images below, I was able to capture Addyson's senior photos with a variety of backgrounds, color, and lighting options! She had 3 outfit changes, and rocked every single one! And her sweet, hysterical momma even jumped in a few photos with her. I know they will cherish those photos of the two of them for years to come!
Congratulations, Addyson!!! You are such an amazing girl, and I know you will shine so brightly in your future endeavors!
Xoxoxo,
Gentry
For this wedding, Gentry Roberts acted as second shooter for Ashley McCoy of Grits Photography. All photos above were captured and edited by Gentry Roberts.
We had 2 outfits and 2 different balloons. Which ones do you like better?
AnnaReed said she had a blast, but the grass was a little tickly on her chin! Hahaha. We hope you love them! Leave a comment and let me know which outfit/ballon you liked best and what you think of the shoot! I would love to hear from you!
Xoxoxo,
Gentry
]]>Can't you just feel the love between these two?
We also took a day trip over to Sneads, FL this week and showed AnnaReed this awesome tank memorial! (Excuse my shoes! I accidentally wore my house flops out and didn't realize it until we got out of the car at the tank! So stylish LOL)
And I made this cute little video of AnnaeReed and her Daddy! Oh, my heart!!!
And finally, we had dinner with my Dad where I recreated this photo taken of him & Grady 12 years ago!!! I know I will cherish this one forever!!! Grady is on the left (2 months old), AnnaReed on the right (11 months old). So funny how much bigger he was than she is! I don't think we could have fit his big toe in this outfit at 11 months!!! Hahaha! She is going to be a tiny little thang! Love!!!
I hope your 4th was filled with lots of love, fun, and fireworks!!! Xoxoxo, Gentry

I mean, who doesn't love dancing in the street with their person?
We had our session planned for Saturday afternoon, but it was storming... again (eye roll). It had rained every single day for like 2 weeks straight. Anyways, we rescheduled for Sunday morning, and the weather was beautiful!!! BUT, with all that rain came some very nasty dirt roads! And on the way home we got stuck! LOL. I don't even know how it happened! I was just driving and we hit a glob of mushy red clay, and it just sucked me right down in the ditch! (Hands over my face). Soooooo, I had to call my sweetie pie husband to come pull us out! I think he though I was joking when I first told him, but as soon as he realized I was serious he loaded the kids up and headed to rescue us! Austin was so funny though. As soon as he realized we were really stuck he just jumped out of the 4Runner and started exploring the area! No complaints AT ALL! I could not believe it!!! And of course Jordon & I just sat in the air conditioning talking about fun stuff! Other than wishing we had a hamburger to eat, it was pretty fun! And hilarious after the fact!
Her muddy feet were the CUTEST ever!!!! This is definitely one of my favorite images from the session!
This session is definitely going down in the books as one of my favorite ever!!!

There is no comparison of the love I have for my children. I was actually scared to have another child after we had our son because I thought I would have to divide my love to make room for another one. That isn't the case at all! God gives our hearts the ability to grow!!! I love her just as much as I love him! And my love for him didn't change at all!!! That is just so miraculous to me!!! All of that to say, the love I have for the two of them cannot be compared... it is equal. But the connection I have with my baby girl is something words cannot even begin to explain. I just can't... there are none, sorry! LOL
I wanted to capture this somehow! The only way I know to capture emotion is through art, whether that be music, painting, film, or theatre. My mode of expression is photography! I wanted to freeze this moment in time and have it to look back on for eternity. So, we packed up and headed to the mall in search of the perfect outfits! (She already loves to shop!!! Eek! Heart! Happy dance!!!) And we found the perfect location near our house. I set up the shots, used a remote trigger, and this is what we got! I will cherish these images for the rest of my life!!!
This precious angel girl is the sweetest, most polite and precious you have ever seen!!! Photographing her was such a treat for me! I could have stayed there with her and those wildflowers for days!!! And of course Caitlin's little ham, Wesley, is just a few weeks younger than my AnnaReed, so he totally has my heart! I keep telling AnnaReed that's her boyfriend ;) LOL If nothing else, they are bound to be besties because Caitlin & I have been friends for over 15 years!!! She's one of my nearest & dearest!
I think this is my very favorite image from the entire session. The love between Andrew & Caitlin is crazy beautiful!!!
And of course, Moore love is always better! Love as hard and as often as you can!!! It always makes life better!!!
Xoxoxo, Gentry

A couple weeks later I was walking through my local grocery store and noticed how AMAZING their live florals were!!! They had a huge display of gorgeous potted plants in addition to their usual section of bouquets! It immediately sparked some seriously intense inspiration!
I tried to focus on my shopping, but as I was in the check-out line all I could think about was those flowers! I legit wanted to buy ALL of them so I could use them as a spring photo backdrop!!! Don't worry, I resisted buying the entire floral department. But when I got home I could not get those flowers off my mind. Then it hit me! I remembered the craft store challenge! didn't need to buy the flowers, I just needed to ask permission to take my model there!
So I put in a call to the store manager and asked them if I could bring my baby girl to take a few photos the following morning (the least busy shopping time). They said "Yes!" THEN I got the idea to take her to a local nursery and do the same!!! And amazingly, they said "Yes!" too!!! Hurray!!!
AnnaReed and I had the most magical adventure!!! It was such a blast! I am so thankful to the 2 businesses that allowed me to do this!!! Her 1st Easter photos are spectacular, and unforgettable!!!
(If you are wanting to try this fun trend I recommend getting permission from the store manager)
