Oh, it is soo much fun to reconnect with old friends! My sweet friends, Mike and Jena, moved away several months ago for Mike to become a pastor at another town in Tennessee. Oh how we have all missed them so much! I was beyond honored that they made the trip back to Memphis for me to photograph their family again. What a joy and what a beautiful family! 🙂
It’s always fun to see “old” friends, and Saturday I got to see some from our Newly Married days from our old church. I hadn’t photographed Drew since he was a year, or so and had never met little Emily! What a treat it was to enjoy a beautiful morning outdoors with this fun family! I think we all really enjoyed our time together and in the process I was able to capture some sweet memories of this time in this family’s life. The kids, ages 3 and 6, are at such a sweet age and you can see they really love each other! It was so great to see you all again, and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! 🙂
When I photographed Jeffrey last year, I thought that he was just the cutest little boy with an amazing little grin and beautiful eyes! Now, this sweet boy has a baby brother…little Ethan…who is just as darling as his big brother! This session could not have gone much better and the boys were great for the session. I love the little “sitting and smiling” age…just my favorite baby age to photograph I’d say! Enjoy this little sneak peak of Ethan and Jeffrey-adorableness all around!
Meet my friends Mel and Ginger and their three precious girls! I’ve been friends with this Mom, Ginger, for almost as long as I can remember. She and I grew up at different schools, but we went to church together for almost our entire lives, still to this day! Ginger and I have always been the kind of friends that can pickup right where we left off. I love her dearly, and was so thrilled to get to photograph her with her beautiful daughters and her fun hubby, Mel. Seriously, this group didn’t know how to take a bad photo. Beautiful, every last one of them-not only on the outside, but on the inside, too! Love you so much “V” family!! Enjoy! 🙂
And, to round out the evening, a few of Miss Joy by herself, wearing the same beautiful white dress her sweet big sisters wore at this same age. Gotta love these!! 🙂
Here’s another little sweetie who has quickly gone from this:
To this beautiful and happy girl!
Brooke is such a cutie pie! Poor baby girl was struggling yesterday with some teething issues, but bless her heart she pulled through great considering all she really wanted to be doing was gnaw on her hands or have her pacifier! 🙂 She brought along her so adorable big brother, George, as well as her Mom and Dad for the photo session. I love our results and so enjoyed working with this wonderful family again. I can’t believe that she’ll be one in just a few short months! Enjoy the cuteness of Brooke and family!
Happy with Daddy! 🙂
Anyone who lives in the Memphis area can tell you that Spring came early this year! Therefore, I had to shuffle around my mid-April Mini Sessions. Of course, since we were moving everyone around it didn’t quite work out that all families could come on the same day. So we just put everyone on a couple of different evenings! The first batch was a huge success. Oaklawn Garden was just absolutely breathtaking with all the spring color. God was showing his beautiful creation in a magnificent way! And, I had two very fun and sweet families to work with as well!
First up, an adorable group of brothers! Loved meeting and working with this family for the first time! So sweet!
Next up, was oh so very spunky little Ann Dawson! I hadn’t photogaphed this sweet girl in a couple of years and she hasn’t really changed a bit! I absolutely ADORE her amazing spirit and fun attitude! She had the best time being photographed, and even let her Mom and Dad jump in on a few, too! So great to see y’all again! 🙂
Oh, what fun to see my friends Julia and Will again! I have been working with these sweet children since Will was just a tiny baby; and, it is just so much fun for me to see them growing. I see them developing their own personalities, and they are just great! We had a BEAUTIFUL morning at the Botanic Gardens. This Spring has just been glorious…even if it is about a month earlier than normal! Thank you so much, “P” family for continuing to share your children with me. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! 🙂
Lydia celebrated her first birthday in February, and this morning I had the fun job of meeting with her and her parents to mark the occasion with some portraits! Lydia was SO good for me. I fell in love with her precious little grin and those sweet cheeks. They just make you smile! She even thought I was funny, which is always a plus! 😉 It was a beautiful morning and a beautiful opportunity to capture a sweet little girl on her 1st birthday. I hope you all enjoy your sneak peek. LOTS more to come! 🙂
One of my favorite things in my business is when a customer and I have the same idea, and we get to work on executing it together! For years I have been wanting to photograph someone in a field of wild grass. And, the other day at this mom’s sister’s newborn session (follow that?! ha!), the mom and I were discussing those fields, and how we thought it’d be a great idea for a session. So, we planned it out that very day! And the results were AWESOME!!! Cannot wait to do more of this type session! I felt a little dual-personality working on these proofs as, Sherrie, the mom really wanted these for a black and white photo gallery she’s started in her home. However, as much as I loved the black and whites, I really loved the color, too. So, Sherrie, forgive me….had to throw in a few color ones, too. Just loved them all! I hope you guys do, too! Enjoy! 🙂
Cutie little Grayson! Loved his faces! 🙂
And big brother, Parker! So handsome.
And, finally, these last three were in front of an old grain elevator. Love, love, love the last few of them goofing around! Such precious boys!
Triple blessed! That’s how I felt leaving this photo session with three beautiful sisters! It was AWESOME! The girls behaved beautifully and came ready with smiles and charmed me all morning with their sweetness. God provided us with beautiful weather and a backdrop of unbelievable spring flowers. I’ve been photographing these girls since the oldest was three years old, and now she is almost 7! Crazy how fast time flies. This session was to mark little Jane’s one-year-old birthday, but big sisters came along, too. Usually, when there are siblings, there isn’t necessarily lots and lots of “group” shots to choose from. There’s always one that has their eyes closed, or a silly face, etc. But….this session…I kid you not, almost every photo of the three girls together was absolutely precious. I had the hardest time picking which ones to post here, and honestly, didn’t do a very good job of just picking a few! Ward and Katie, your girls just stole my heart this week. Thank you for sharing them with me! Enjoy! Soooo many more coming your way soon! 😉
A few individuals…first up, Jane!
Next, my precious friend, Maddie!
And, big sister Mary Caroline!
And, more of the girls together. Seriously LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them all!!!
