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!

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! 🙂 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! 🙂

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

Cutie Jeffrey!

June 9, 2011

Y’all are gonna love this little cutie! Meet 2-yr-old Jeffrey! This little guy just stole my heart with his big blue eyes, and sweaty blonde hair and red cheeks. He is just CUTE! He had a great time playing in Arlington the other night and was such a little trooper in temps that were less than ideal for a photo session. He loves his tractor! He loves his cowboy boots! And, he loved me telling him not to smile. 🙂 Proof that I am funny…at least to some…as he couldn’t stop laughing at me every time I said it. Thanks for letting capture your little man and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! 🙂

Anticipation…

June 9, 2011

Meet Eric and JenaBeth! They are about to become parents for the first time in just a few weeks! Such an exciting time full of anticipation and joy! And, to make it even more exciting, no one knows the gender of the little one in JenaBeth’s belly nor have they told anyone their name choices yet. I love it! I will have the joy of photographing this little one’s newborn photos soon and cannot wait to see who he/she is and what his/her name will be. I’m a big fan of surprises! 🙂 But, for now, we get to see how beautiful a pregnant woman can be. JenaBeth was truly “glowing” for this session and her sweet hubby Eric obviously adores her. She was such a trooper to be 8+ months pregnant out in ridiculous heat and did it all with a smile! Thank you, JenaBeth and Eric for allowing me the privilege of capturing this moment in time for you. I know that I am one of many, but I cannot WAIT to meet your little one! 🙂

Beautiful Isabella!

June 5, 2011

What a beauty this sweetie is! Meet Miss Isabella (you know I’m lovin’ her name!). Isabella was born in Hawaii (lucky girl!) and her awesome parents are in the Navy. They just recently moved to the Memphis area for the next 5 years and I am so happy to have them join my 1:17 family! Isabella’s Daddy was stationed in Afghanistan a couple of years ago….thank you! And, her beautiful mom is also in the Navy as well. We had the best time on Saturday morning getting to know one another and enjoying Isabella’s beautiful smiles even though it was beyond hot outside! Jamin and Channell, you are blessed with a sweet and beautiful little girl and your family is such a joy! Welcome to Memphis! So glad to have “y’all”! 🙂


When you think of photographs in the spring, you think of warm days, right? Well, not so much this past weekend at our second set of Spring Mini Sessions! The families that I met with were such troopers and had fabulous attitudes. We had to reschedule the sessions once and then the night we had them, it was only about 60 degrees and very cloudy and somewhat windy. It felt more like the week of Thanksgiving rather than the week after Mother’s Day. Really bizarre. Thank goodness the kids and their parents only had to “suffer” through for about 15 minutes. None of them complained at all. I truly believe that 1:17 has the BEST costumers around. I’m a blessed girl! 🙂

It was so strange, but somehow this round of Mini Sessions ended up being mostly boys. Except for a sprinkling of little girl sweetness here and there, the majority of the sessions were full of some “rough and tumble” little boys. They were all so charming and well-behaved. All in all, it was a wonderful time and I am so happy with the results of our evening!

First up was 2-year-old Ward and his cute little curls! This was my first time to photograph this cute little man, and I look forward to many more!  So sweet! 🙂

Next up, was a super-fun family whom I’ve worked with once before. I couldn’t believe how much they had grown up! They’d also added a new little member to their group. Meet Jack, Kate, Ella and Reed!

After those 4 cuties, was a family whom I adore working with! Normally, I just photograph Miss Ella and Mr.Holden; but, this time, their Mom and Dad decided to get in on the fun. I am so pleased with the results of their little session and know that Ella and Holden’s mom will be so happy with her new family photos. Angela, so happy for you that these turned out so sweet!

William and Henry were the next cute boys on my agenda! I haven’t seen William in about 3 years and had never met Henry before…oh my! Love these boys! William was full of personality and Henry was full of smiles. 🙂 It made for a perfect 15 minutes with this sweet family. So good to see y’all again!

I have been photographing Kade for almost my entire photography career. I cannot believe that this little guy is now 5 years old and almost ready to start Kindergarten. Sniff…sniff. He has one of the sweetest smiles and gives the best hugs! It is always a joy to see this family. Love you guys! 🙂

I last photographed Logan when he turned one. He is now four years old! What a cute boy. This little guys ADORES trains so we spent the majority of this session hanging on the tracks! He thoroughly enjoyed himself and did a great job on his session. Logan, so good to see you and your family again! 🙂

My last session of the evening was of two brothers who are beyond adorable! Meet Jacob and Jack! These boys had F.U.N. at our session and kept me laughing the whole time. I so enjoyed hanging out with them and getting to capture a little glimpse into their world. I can only imagine the smiles and laughter that happen in this home on a daily basis! Kari and Michael, they are so cute! 🙂

Meet Rett and Family!

May 9, 2011

Now this is one gorgeous family! So beautiful, each one of them! And, so sweet! Mr.Rett has some of the cutest little chubby baby legs I’ve seen in awhile….love ’em! And don’t even get me started on his little dimples. Just melt me! We had a great time Friday night photographing Rett. He is obviously the joy of his parents lives. I love their story. They met at 15 years old and have been together ever since. Now look at what God has blessed them with-a precious little baby boy with killer eyes, dimples and legs! 🙂 You gotta love a story like that. Thanks for sharing Rett with me, and enjoy your sneak peek! 🙂

Briar and Bronson…

May 9, 2011

I could hardly believe how much these two little cuties have grown up since the last time I had seen them! Briar and Bronson are growing up! These two are always so much fun to photograph. They come ready to laugh with me and have a good time and it makes for a fun session every single time. This time was no different as we giggled our way through the Arlington Town Square and captured some sweet moments. Enough from me….enjoy their sneak peek! 🙂

And, a few great ones with their beautiful Mommy! 🙂

Samuel is 5!

May 9, 2011

Now this is a C.U.T.E. little guy! Meet Mr.Samuel. Samuel just turned 5 years old in April and just happens to be the son of my little boy’s 4th grade teacher! My Jackson has had such a WONDERFUL 4th grade year; and, it was my joy to have the opportunity to meet his teacher’s son and spend some time hanging out with him the other night. Samuel is full of life and all boy! He loved to throw rocks, and jump and play and every little thing that boys are supposed to do. I loved it! Samuel is adorably charming and has a killer smile, too. 🙂 Samuel, thanks for playing with me the other night. I love the photos we captured for your precious momma! Brandi, I hope I was able to do this cute little man some justice. He is awesome…but I am sure you already know that! 🙂 Enjoy your sneak peek!

I love, love this one! Such a serious, but sweet look all at the same time!

And, those eyes?? Love ’em!!

See…told ya…all boy and beyond adorable!

My “old” friends!

May 2, 2011

I love this family! I have certain customers that have been with me from almost day one of me starting this business. And, they are not only customers any longer…they are my friends! These girls were as excited to see me when I walked up as I was to see them. We just had FUN together which is my favorite way to handle a session. The main purpose of this session was to get some great family shots of the 4 of them. It was a challenge at times, however, because we had such a narrow focus it made it easier in way because I had a full hour to concentrate on getting what she wanted out of the session. Mia and Anna, Miss Julie loves you girls….and your Momma and Daddy, too! 🙂
