Cooper and his family!

September 22, 2011

What a little sweetheart this little man is! Meet Cooper. He is 3 years old. He loves his dog. And, he LOVES IronMan! Anytime he was “done” with the photo session, all his Mom had to do was to remind him that if he was cooperative he would get his IronMan costume when he got home. It worked brilliantly and Cooper was a perfect little boy for his session. This little guy loves any kind of super hero! Each time his Dad, aka “The Hulk” or his mom, aka “Weather Woman” would sneak up behind me in an attempt to make Cooper laugh, and to act silly and pretend they were going to “get me”, Cooper would come to my defense. He loves me! πŸ™‚ He wasn’t going to let anyone hurt Mrs.Julie. Now who doesn’t love to be protected by a super hero?? Enjoy this look at Cooper’s sneak peek! πŸ™‚

Mr. Personality…Colin!

September 20, 2011

Oh. my. word!! I am just LOVIN’ the results from this session with just recently turned 5 -year-old, Colin. We shot in downtown Memphis and had an absolute blast! Colin is full of life and laughter and his little charming personality just pulls you in from the moment you meet him! I hadn’t seen him in a couple of years and couldn’t believe how much he’s grown. He was just thrilled with the fact that he got to “see more of the city” and truly enjoyed our afternoon. We walked up and down the colorful downtown streets, rode the trolley, and finished up our afternoon at the National Civil Rights Museum. I can’t wait to share just a few of my favorites with you. Al and Anita, this boy is one-of-a-kind and he has stolen my heart with his gorgeous eyes, mischievous grin and sweet spirit! Thanks for sharing your sweet boy with me! Enjoy! πŸ™‚

Life is very busy when you have a 4-yr-old, a 2-yr-old and a 12-month-old! But, of what fun!! I met up with these beautiful children and their super fun and laid-back parents for a session at the Arlington Town Square! It was ridiculously hot, yet again! These three children are seriously adorable and have eyes that just melt you. I mean seriously!! Madeline is the sweet big sister…caring, mature, and very girly! Loved twirling and showing me her ballerina moves! Mr. Graham, almost 3 years old, was a little heart-breaker. Those big pouty eyes and lips just got me every shot! And, then, little Harrison…very laid-back, just takes life as it comes to him. I loved the results we achieved! Can’t wait to show you all the rest of them! Enjoy! πŸ™‚

First up, a few of the three of them! Love how their personalities just shine through!

Madeline…

Graham…

And Harrison…

Sweet little ones…

Sometimes God gives you unexpected little gifts in life and my friend, Emily, is one of those beautiful blessings! Emily is the owner/photographer of EPC Photography out in Covington, TN and has become such a wonderful friend to me in so many ways. She is one of those people who you just feel good being around. She has a wonderfully positive spirit and is such an encourager and, most importantly, has a love for the Lord that just shines through her! And…she just became a new mommy to little Miss Georgia! I was so humbled to be asked by Emily several months ago if I would photograph her little newborn session for her! I was so excited to meet the new daughter of Β Zach and Emily and new baby sister to my buddy, Jonah. Here’s a little peak into our day yesterday. Emily, thank you for having me into your gorgeous home and allowing me the honor of spending time with all of you. I hope you like what you see…no pressure, right?! πŸ™‚ Love you all! Congratulations!!

I just love this one. It cracks me up because it looks like Jonah is giving her some very serious advice…and she is listening! πŸ™‚ I will say that Georgia knew her big brother’s voice already and would open her little eyes every time that Jonah’s little voice was anywhere near her. So sweet!

Before I post anymore images, I need to tell you how very much I love Emily’s home…seriously L.O.V.E. So perfectly southern and charming and retro…white picket fence and front porch swing included….swooon! Perfect, perfect, perfect for the session with beautiful Georgia!

Emily…your sign here says it all, you are SO blessed! And, by Georgia’s sweet smile here…I think she already knows she is, too! πŸ™‚

Coco is One Year Old!

June 30, 2011

Another Little Newborn Club Baby has turned One! Remember Miss Coco at her newborn session? So sweet…

Well, look at her now!

It is utterly amazing to me how very much these sweet babies change within their first year. Coco is such a beautiful little girl with sweet smiles. She loves to clap, loves laughing at her brother, and has definitely stolen her Mom and Dad’s hearts. It’s been such a joy to watch her grow and capture these milestones in her first year of life. Happy, happy Birthday to you, Coco!! πŸ™‚

And since I was there, we captured a few of big brother, Sam, as well as a family picture, too. Love ’em! A true picture of this family as they are at this moment in time…

Jack and Sarah!

June 28, 2011

Oh, what a gorgeous session this turned out to be! Sometimes, I when I leave a session I can hardly wait to get home and download the photos to see the results because I just know that they turned out good. This was one of those sessions. Two adorable children, two gorgeous parents, beautiful light, perfect wardrobe choices, temps just warm enough to give everyone a “glow”, and one sweet family! Awesome! Jack is 6 and Sarah is almost 3 and both are beautiful and fun children. I haven’t seen them in almost 2 years and I couldn’t believe how much they’d all grown up…that happens! πŸ™‚ I adore everything about this session and am so happy for you all that they turned out so great. Shea and Laurie, just so you know, the pics after “the event” of the evening did turn out really cute, I just had so many cute ones from before the clothes change that I chose to highlight them here! I struggled with choosing which ones to blog because there were just so many great ones. Yay! So many more beautiful ones to come soon. Thanks for sharing your sweet family with me! Enjoy!

Hudson and Emery

June 24, 2011

I am always amazed at how blessed I am in having beautiful families to photograph. This family was no exception! Not only were they gorgeous, but also fun and laid back. A perfect combination for a photo shoot on a hot summer day. Hudson, the 4 year old charmer, kept me laughing the entire photo session with his cute poses and silly faces. Then, sweet Emery…oh little cutie-pie! This was one sweet little miss who was SO focused on learning to crawl that we had a hard time keeping her interested in much else. She was ready to be on the GO! Thank you, Amy and Mitch, for sharing your family with me. Hope you love your sneak peek! πŸ™‚

And then there were 7!

June 24, 2011

Grandchildren, that is! Wow! I’ll have to admit, knowing I had a group of 7 little ones on my schedule was definitely a bit intimidating to say the least. But, I shouldn’t have worried because this group of cousins was just perfect! I’ve grown up in church with the parents of these children and it was such fun to be able to capture them all for Ms.Vicki and Mr.Ronnie. They all did such a wonderful job and were gorgeous in their blues and browns. Beautiful family, beautiful children and sweet memories! Enjoy!

I love this one! Pure love and laughter!


And, finally, a few of each group of siblings!

Wes and Jake…

June 22, 2011

What a sweet family of little boys! Meet 2-year-old, Wes and his new little 3-month-old little brother, Jake! Photographing children these ages definitely has its challenges, but these sweet boys did such a great job the other night. I so enjoyed meeting little Wes with his charming little smile, eagerness to please his parents, and constant on-the-go movement as he explored the world around him. And, precious little Jake…oh my! This little blue-eyed boy is so adorable and had the sweetest smile, especially for his Mommy! Gotta love a Mommy smile. πŸ™‚ Thanks for sharing your boys with me, Tori and Daniel. You have a beautiful family!

Mr.Jeremiah! Love this little cutie pie! I can hardly believe how quickly he is growing up. Seems like just yesterday he was looking like this:And, now he is sitting like a champ, smiling his adorable little charming smile, and most definitely has his Mommy and Daddy wrapped around his cute little fingers! πŸ™‚ But, who can blame them when they get to see this little face every day? How could you not fall in love? Jeremiah did so good at his session and I was so proud of him. It was past his bedtime, the temps were beyond what any reasonable person should have to sit through and still look “fresh”, and he’d been not feeling so hot days before. However, he was a little rock star and showed up big time for his big moment. I am so very happy with our results and still so happy for Jon and Miranda! Love you guys! Enjoy your sneak peek! πŸ™‚

Love the innocent look of this one!Check out this baby’s eyelashes! Why is it that the boys always have these amazing lashes?
