Meet Mary Kate! Sweet girl…she did so good at her photo session! You never would’ve known she had five of us staring at her and jumping up and down and acting a fool! We had such fun last week at a gorgeous backyard in Germantown of a family friend. It had so many little areas that were just perfect for photographs. I love her smile! And her little crinkled nose when she giggles. And have you ever seen such sparkle in a little girl’s eyes before? Just stunning! I so enjoyed hanging with all you ladies last week and working together to capture some beautiful photographs of a beautiful little girl and a few with her beautiful momma, too! Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek. Lots more great ones to come!

And these eyes! And this little grin! Oh my! I met up with Chase and his awesome parents last week at a location that I had not shot at all this spring. I was super excited to get back to a place I love to photograph and loved working with this adorable family. Chase is beyond adorable. He just sat there in all that baby cuteness and smiled as we entertained him. Chase is, in my opinion, at the perfect “photograph-able” age (is that a word?!). He is sitting up very comfortably on his own but not yet crawling or walking. 🙂 I loved seeing how much Chase’s Mommy and Daddy loved him…so endearing. Chase, besides being just too precious, you are very blessed to have such a wonderful Mommy and Daddy who love you so much. I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek…I had a hard time choosing just a few! Enjoy!

Tatum and Eli…

June 8, 2010

Last week was a very busy one for me; but, I loved it all! I started out the week shooting some One Year photos for sweet little Tatum. And…lucky for me, big brother Eli came along for some shoots, too. These are such beautiful children and so sweet. It was really, really hot that night and the bugs were out in full force going after these two…my opinion is that they are just so sweet that the bugs just couldn’t resist! Happy Birthday to you, Miss Tatum!! Aren’t you the lucky one to have this handsome guy around for the rest of your life looking out for you and sharing life together! 😉

Miss Grace…

Okay, it is “officially official”. I have a new favorite age to photograph…FOUR!! I don’t know why, but I am just having such fun with four-year-olds these days. There is just a magic about them. Take little Grace, for example. We had a ball dressing up in fun outfit changes, posing “like a model”, and pulling out those genuine smiles that are starting to get lost in the forced “cheese” smiles. Grace is such a sweet girl and I had so much fun working with her. Isn’t she just gorgeous? Had such a hard time just picking a few to showcase here! 🙂

3,2,1…GO!!

What do you get when you try to photograph three amazingly cute little brothers? Did I mention that for just one week (due to birthdays) these brothers are ages 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years? Well what you usually get, to be honest, is whole lot of this:

However, {and might I glad that I am so happy for the “howevers” in life!!} if you add in a Momma and a Daddy with lots of patience, cool dance moves, and a bag full of tricks for smile-makers as well as a photographer is works real quick…you end up with some real “keepers”! Happy Birthday to all of you precious boys: Gage, Cooper, and Chance! Ya’ll are awesome!!

And my personal favorite of the night….

Parker is One!

I love this boy!! He almost makes you want to have more because he is just.so.cute!! And happy, too! Remember this little guy from this previous post? We ventured out to the Botanic Gardens and had such fun photographing him. I did a series with he and his gorgeous momma and my friend, Erika. Happy Birthday, sweet Parker! You’ve got such fun ahead of you and I look forward to watching you become a little boy! 🙂 And, thank you, for making my job so fun!

I’m not sure if we can get any more traditional Southern summer photographs than these: a boy, his monogrammed white bubble outfit, magnolias and hydrangeas! Love these!

Cole & Ella

I love getting to watch my customers as they grow! It is so fun to see how much they change; and yet, still stay the same! I have photographed Ella for several years and last year we added little brother Cole into the mix. These two are just adorable and we had such fun playing at the Botanic Gardens together. I hope to have the opportunity to continue to watch you both grow. You are so cute now, just cannot imagine your getting much cuter..but I bet you will! 🙂

Sweet Friends…

June 2, 2010

One of my greatest pleasures in my business is when I have the opportunity to photograph my personal friends and family. Last week, I had the honor of photographing some great friends of ours from church along with their three gorgeous children. It was a special night as the dad, Jason, and their oldest daughter, Morgan, were leaving later that night for Guatemala on a mission trip with our church. Little did we all know what the next few days in Guatemala would bring…volcanoes, a tropical storm, mudslides. Let’s just say it was alot more than we all imagined. But, God is so good and their trip has been a success. Even with volcanoes and tremendous amounts of rain, the team there which includes Jason and Morgan, were able to build 18 houses and run a Vacation Bible School for the children. I can’t wait to hear all about it! We are all very grateful for God’s protection on them and the good He was able to do through their service. We are prayerful and hopeful for their safe return sometime on June 3rd!

Now, onto the thing you came to see…the pictures! Aren’t they a lovely family! 🙂 Thanks for asking me to photograph you all. I had a great time!

Everybody give a hug! Love this!
