Ty and Lizzie…

June 29, 2012

What a great way to end my “Spring” season with Ty and Lizzie! I take off the month of July and into the first part of August to be with my children and take some vacation time, so these two were my swan song for a couple of months! Great ending to a great season! I loved my time spent with these absolutely gorgeous little children! They have such sweet features and beautiful, expressive eyes! I loved Mr.Ty’s full out energy level! He kept me laughing and on my toes! 🙂 And, precious little Lizzie has the calmest spirit and adorable smile. Just loved it! Thank you, Jen, for sharing your children with me. Enjoy! 🙂

I just love these grins!! They were excited about some candy they were about to get for doing such a good job. hehe!

Lily is Sitting and Smiling!

June 29, 2012

I cannot believe how big Miss Lily is getting! Last time I saw her in March, she could barely hold herself up as a little 3 month old. And, now…this sweet girl is going after it! Lily will be 8 months old next week and is already crawling and standing on her own! What a big girl! She brought along big sister, Brianna, again. What a joy to photograph these sweet girls and capture who they are at this moment in their lives. I love watching them grow! Thanks for sharing these sweet girls with me! 🙂

Ellie Grace, Jackson and Charlie!

June 25, 2012

This precious family has grown by one little person since the last time I photographed them! Meet Ellie Grace, Jackson and newest little man Charlie! I just love this family! They are full of joy and laughter and excitement! They had nothing but smiles all night long for me and we had such fun! You never know what you might get with three children this young, but these three did SO good! And, I truly think it was because they truly love one another so very much. Thanks for coming to see me again, guys! I hope you love what you see here…more to come! 🙂

Love this grin!!

Lucas and John Richard…

June 25, 2012

Brothers are so much FUN!! I’ve had a sweet run with sisters recently, so it was a great change of pace to get to photograph a fun and charming set of brothers! Boys are such fun to photograph because they want to climb…on everything! They want to punch and wrestle…which I love because it makes for such fun photos! They also don’t care one bit about touching each other or coming anywhere near acting like they like one another! So funny! So, as the photographer, you embrace those moments and capture them as they are…fun, silly, and absolutely adorable! So enjoyed photographing these two boys and their parents. They are such a beautiful family! Enjoy your sneak peek…more to come soon! 🙂

Janet and Caitlin…

June 20, 2012

I love this idea! Janet is about to celebrate an important birthday milestone…a big one…but I’m not about to say which one! I bet you’d never guess it though, because Janet is looking FABULOUS!! As a birthday gift to herself, she decided to have some professional photographs taken of herself. She just completed an intense workout program and made significant accomplishments!! What better way to celebrate yourself! 🙂 And, to add to the fun, she brought along her daughter, Caitlin, and we spent the evening celebrating the special bond between mother and daughter. It doesn’t take long in their presence to see the love and devotion these two have toward one another. Thank you, Janet, for allowing me to spend time with you two! I hope you love your sneak peek!

Lainey is Five!

June 20, 2012

Well, almost five! She will be in July! 🙂 I always get so excited when I see this sweetheart’s name come across my calendar! This is now our 6th session we’ve done together, starting with her newborn session years ago! I adore her spunk, smiles, laughter, curiosity and fun! She’s one of those children that even when she isn’t smiling she is gorgeous. Love, love, love me some Lainey! Thank you for constantly sharing your daughter with me and allowing me the joy of watching her grow into a beautiful young lady!

Lucas is Sitting and Smiling!

June 15, 2012

I know that they grow, and they do it quickly, but I couldn’t get over what a big boy Mr.Lucas is now! I photographed him back in early December as a newborn, and he still has his same “little old man” look that he had then. 🙂 This baby has some of the most beautiful skin, translucent almost…so gorgeous. He was so very interested in this new world around him…the textures, the sounds, everything but myself, Mom, Dad, Aunt, and Grandma who tried our best to make him think we were hilarious and make him smile! But, we did it! We managed to be just a little more interesting than the cars, grass, and textures of the old boards in the Arlington Town Square. Sweet baby boy! 🙂

I don’t know why, but I love this serious face!

Gorgeous Sisters, Benton and Brooke!

June 15, 2012

Meet Benton, age 7, and Brooke, age 3! I had the absolutely best time photographing these two beauties the other night. Seriously, they could not take a bad photo! We had such fun laughing, and giggling, and being silly together. I love that about my job…just being with the kids and having a ball doing what I do and coming up with portraits that I know the parents will love. They brought a change of clothes to the session, and it was almost as if we started over again with fresh spirits and smiles…as if the first 30 minutes in their white dresses didn’t produce enough goodness, right? I just adore everything about this session. Thank you, Meg, for sharing your girls with me. They are precious and beautiful, both inside and out! 🙂

Hannah, Chase and Mia…

June 10, 2012

This is one fabulous family! Big sister Hannah, who is 10, with her gorgeous smile and so very sweet little giggle that just warms your heart! And, Mr.Chase, who just finished 2nd grade in the same class as my daughter…who all night long just was lovin’ this photo session and wanted his photo taken any and everywhere I was willing! And, little Mia, who was quiet and demure the entire evening but when she smiled just lit up the place! I so enjoyed my time with these siblings who obviously adore one another, take care of each other, and enjoy laughing together. It was my joy to spend time capturing their world for them! And, not to mention the fun of photographing siblings with some of the most BEAUTIFUL eyes I’ve seen in quite some time. Looooooove!!! Enjoy your sneak peek….so many more to come! 🙂

Jonah is One!

June 9, 2012

Oh, how I love little boys!!! What is not to love about this image of sweet little Jonah, with his beloved “trac-ta”? Sweetness defined right there!

He just loves this little tractor so very much! So much so that it did make him smile, but also reach his little hands up, like so:

Which is adorable as well, just maybe not in every photo! 🙂 We had the best time wrangling this little charmer the other night for his one-year-old portraits. He is all boy and just wonderful! Loved all the fun antique props his mom brought along to incorporate into the session. Just makes the photos, in my opinion. Even big sister, who is 17 and about to be a Univ of Memphis Tiger in the Fall, came along to participate! Fun, fun night! Thanks for sharing your sweet children with me, Jen and Kenneth! Enjoy your sneak peek!
