You never know…

October 13, 2010

I never know what surprises might be in store for me at my photo sessions! This past week, as I rounded the corner to look for the family I was to photograph, there stood an old friend and classmate of mine from high school! I was so surprised! Usually, we deal with the moms in scheduling the sessions, so it never even occurred to me that the last name of this family came from my former classmate and he was the Daddy of this gorgeous bunch! It was really fun to catch up with you, Chris! All of your girls are simply beautiful both inside and out! I so enjoyed getting to know Keegan and Theran and your beautiful wife! Ashley, you’ve got such style! I loved the feel of the clothes of this session and the vintage look it inspired. I hope you all enjoy your little sneak peek. There are so many more to come and I can’t wait to share them with you! πŸ™‚

A few of Miss Keegan…

And, Miss Theran!

A few family favorites…

And, finally, sweet sisters!

It’s good to be McKenna!

October 13, 2010

Oh,to be McKenna! This little girl is SO loved! Plus, she is just stinkin’ adorable to top it off! I met up with McKenna and her parents on Saturday morning for a session at Arlington Town Square. We started out the day with of few of this beautiful little girl by herself, and then a few with mom and dad.

See why she is so gorgeous? πŸ™‚

Soon, McKenna’s big sister joined us for some family pictures! They were having such a good time together and it was such a pleasure to be included in the fun!

Luke!

October 13, 2010

I love me some Luke! He is another one of my little newborn club members from a few years ago and is growing up so fast. I have photographed this gorgeous family since before Luke was even born. I am always so honored to have return clients. Luke is just a sweet thing. He was so easy this time. His mom promised him a sucker if he behaved for his session. All we had to say was “sucker” and this huge grin would light up his entire face! It was too cute and so funny! Luke couldn’t make it to the original Mini Session Day he was scheduled for on Oct.2nd, so we fit him in early Saturday morning and it worked out perfectly! Lukers, you are awesome! πŸ™‚

The Cannons!

October 6, 2010

We LOVE our neighborhood and I really do think that we have the best neighbors anywhere! All of our neighbors are great and we enjoy our friendships with all of them very much! My very last session on Saturday night was for our great neighbors that live across the street! I’ve been so looking forward to photographing them. They are such a fun and loving family;and, the session was lots of fun! Reed and Parker are two of my son’s best buddies so it was pretty easy to get some real smiles and laughs out of them! And, Joe and Lisa, they are just too cute together! Thanks, neighbors, for letting me capture a little glimpse into the fabulous family that you are! Enjoy your sneak peek! πŸ™‚

This first one is actually my favorite from the whole session! Love those smiles!

Mini Sessions in Arlington!

October 6, 2010

Saturday was a gorgeous Fall day all day long! Just simply perfect for our last Mini Session this year. Jodie and I had a blast hanging out with all the families that came to be photographed in the town square. It was so much fun! Only small hangup we encountered was the wind! We were about 2 sessions in when the wind just starting blowing in HUGE gusts! I’ll admit it was a big challenge to work around, especially for all the pretty ladies with their long, beautiful hair! But, we made it through and managed to get some really, really gorgeous portraits for these families! I am thrilled to show you all what we ended up with and hope that you love them! Thanks for another successful Mini Session!

Greg, Kristen and the crew!

September 29, 2010

Meet my college roommate, Kristen, and her gorgeous family! She and I have more scoop on each other than either of us probably cares to admit! We’ve been great friends for 20 years now and on Monday night, I had the opportunity to photograph her family for her. It is such a joy to see my sweet friend as a wife and mother and have the chance to capture this fleeting time in their lives with my camera. Kristen, so happy for you that these turned out so great! Your family is amazing as are you! Enjoy your sneak peek. So many more to come! πŸ™‚

This past Saturday was my first round of Mini Sessions and they turned out just fabulous! At the last minute, I decided to switch up three of the sessions to Arlington Town Square (at the request of the customer πŸ™‚ ) while the remainder of the sessions were taken here in my backyard! I couldn’t have been more pleased at our results. It was a great day full of some old friends that I hadn’t seen in awhile, some brand new friends experiencing their first time ever with 1:17 Photography as well as one of our “Find a Cotton Field” contest winners! I love the variety of looks I was able to capture on Saturday from the summer whites and impatiens to the sweaters and blue jeans. September is the perfect mesh for any type of look. I hope all of you enjoy your sneak peek! I had a blast and thank you for choosing 1:17 Photography! πŸ™‚

So, without further babbling from me, here’s what you came here to see, enjoy!

Parker and Grayson…

September 17, 2010

Boys! They are so much fun. So full of energy and such little charmers. Love ’em! I had the chance to hang out with Parker and Grayson this week for some portraits. We had a great time! We had to keep them moving to keep them entertained and interested the photos; but, it was worth it! Aren’t they just adorable? I love, love the sweet curls and cute little grins. Guys, thanks so much for playing with me. I hope your sweet momma loves these pictures as much as I do! Could just eat ’em up! πŸ™‚

Denise and Tim and crew!

August 30, 2010

“We brought the whole crew!” That’s what Denise said to me as she climbed out of a big SUV. And, then, all these gorgeous people started coming out of the car, too. Kinda like those clown cars where they are all squished up in there and you wonder how many more are going to come out? Ha! Loved it. Meet the absolutely gorgeous Tim and Denise and their sweet families. Tim and Denise have a long-distance romance that stretches all the way from Tennessee to California! When Tim was in town last week with his boys, it was the perfect opportunity for a photo session of these two families together. We had a wonderful evening traipsing through Arlington Town Square capturing this beautiful group of people. Thanks, Denise, for asking me to photograph you guys! I just loved meeting everyone and had a wonderful time working with all of you! πŸ™‚

First, a few of the whole gang!

Denise and her beautiful children…

Tim and his cute boys…I adore the one of the boys laughing! Such fun!

Megan and her honey, Josh…

And, finally, the amazingly gorgeous Tim and Denise! Is it possible to have two people any more photogenic than these two? I’m not sure! πŸ™‚

The Happy Heart! Fall 2010

August 21, 2010

I absolutely ADORE The Happy Heart Clothing shop in Arlington, TN! These ladies have simply amazing taste in children’s clothing. The clothes are absolutely P.E.R.F.E.C.T for a portrait session. Perfect! I had the fun opportunity to spend some time yesterday morning with these beautiful children who had the fun job of modeling these clothes for me so that I could shoot just a little of the examples of the Fall clothing line they now have in their store. This is my third time to get to do this for The Happy Heart and it is just the most fun time! The kids did such a fabulous job in the clothes that had to be hot for them because, let’s face it, it was 100 degrees yesterday and not quite the time yet for coats, hats and sweaters. πŸ™‚

This is just a sampling of the fun we had yesterday. This is quite a long post but I had so many things I just LOVED that I couldn’t stop proofing them to share with all of you. Please, go and visit Happy Heart soon! You’ll be happy you did. And, my customers for this fall…note to you: Β Wondering what to wear for your upcoming session?? See below! Visit Happy Heart and problem solved! See, now we are all happy! πŸ™‚

Yes, these are my nieces, and, yes they are stinkin’ adorable! πŸ™‚

My oldest niece! And, yes, she is simply beautiful, too! πŸ™‚

A few for the upcoming Fall holidays…so fun!
