Meet Mary Kate! Sweet girl…she did so good at her photo session! You never would’ve known she had five of us staring at her and jumping up and down and acting a fool! We had such fun last week at a gorgeous backyard in Germantown of a family friend. It had so many little areas that were just perfect for photographs. I love her smile! And her little crinkled nose when she giggles. And have you ever seen such sparkle in a little girl’s eyes before? Just stunning! I so enjoyed hanging with all you ladies last week and working together to capture some beautiful photographs of a beautiful little girl and a few with her beautiful momma, too! Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek. Lots more great ones to come!

And these eyes! And this little grin! Oh my! I met up with Chase and his awesome parents last week at a location that I had not shot at all this spring. I was super excited to get back to a place I love to photograph and loved working with this adorable family. Chase is beyond adorable. He just sat there in all that baby cuteness and smiled as we entertained him. Chase is, in my opinion, at the perfect “photograph-able” age (is that a word?!). He is sitting up very comfortably on his own but not yet crawling or walking. 🙂 I loved seeing how much Chase’s Mommy and Daddy loved him…so endearing. Chase, besides being just too precious, you are very blessed to have such a wonderful Mommy and Daddy who love you so much. I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek…I had a hard time choosing just a few! Enjoy!

Tatum and Eli…

June 8, 2010

Last week was a very busy one for me; but, I loved it all! I started out the week shooting some One Year photos for sweet little Tatum. And…lucky for me, big brother Eli came along for some shoots, too. These are such beautiful children and so sweet. It was really, really hot that night and the bugs were out in full force going after these two…my opinion is that they are just so sweet that the bugs just couldn’t resist! Happy Birthday to you, Miss Tatum!! Aren’t you the lucky one to have this handsome guy around for the rest of your life looking out for you and sharing life together! 😉

3,2,1…GO!!

June 4, 2010

What do you get when you try to photograph three amazingly cute little brothers? Did I mention that for just one week (due to birthdays) these brothers are ages 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years? Well what you usually get, to be honest, is whole lot of this:

However, {and might I glad that I am so happy for the “howevers” in life!!} if you add in a Momma and a Daddy with lots of patience, cool dance moves, and a bag full of tricks for smile-makers as well as a photographer is works real quick…you end up with some real “keepers”! Happy Birthday to all of you precious boys: Gage, Cooper, and Chance! Ya’ll are awesome!!

And my personal favorite of the night….

Parker is One!

June 4, 2010

I love this boy!! He almost makes you want to have more because he is just.so.cute!! And happy, too! Remember this little guy from this previous post? We ventured out to the Botanic Gardens and had such fun photographing him. I did a series with he and his gorgeous momma and my friend, Erika. Happy Birthday, sweet Parker! You’ve got such fun ahead of you and I look forward to watching you become a little boy! 🙂 And, thank you, for making my job so fun!

I’m not sure if we can get any more traditional Southern summer photographs than these: a boy, his monogrammed white bubble outfit, magnolias and hydrangeas! Love these!

Cole & Ella

June 4, 2010

I love getting to watch my customers as they grow! It is so fun to see how much they change; and yet, still stay the same! I have photographed Ella for several years and last year we added little brother Cole into the mix. These two are just adorable and we had such fun playing at the Botanic Gardens together. I hope to have the opportunity to continue to watch you both grow. You are so cute now, just cannot imagine your getting much cuter..but I bet you will! 🙂

Anna and Mia

May 27, 2010

Two beautiful sisters. One with personality to share that just oozes out of her. The other sweet and shy. One of the joys of working with a family year after year is that we all become very comfortable with one another. I’ve photographed these sisters for many years. Miss Ana is such fun. She loves to perform for my camera and I literally could just play with her all day long. She is the kind of child that a photographer loves to shoot as she is constantly coming up with something fun to capture. And little Mia just melts my heart. I first shot her as a newborn and she was not too happy that day. We did a couple of sessions last fall and she also was a bit “temperamental”. This past time, she started out all smiles…until I asked Anna to hug her…note to self, not a good idea! 🙂 So, finally, because her momma and daddy trust me, Mia and I just walked away for a bit and worked together on our own with no one else around and it worked like a charm! I love you both, girls! Thanks for making my job such a joy!

This past Saturday was a very busy day. I had three sessions at the Botanic Gardens. One in the morning, two in the evening and all very different. My first session of the day was for a family with four children ages 9 months to 8 years! I’ll be honest, it is a little nerve-wracking heading into a photo session with four children as you never really know what you are going to get. I shouldn’t have worried though…this family was so adorable and well-behaved. And, believe it or not, they drove all the way from Oxford, MS to work with me. I am very humbled and really loved working with this precious crew! I just know you all will have such fun growing up together and making memories. Here’s just a few from our time together, enjoy!

Little Man Fox

May 22, 2010

This little guy was soo adorable. Fox looked just like a little man, and as we photographed him on the gorgeous grounds of Rhodes College, I could easily see him walking around in his little sweater vest 18 years from now as a student. 🙂 Dad is a proud alum of Rhodes and entertained us with stories and history of the campus as we walked around taking in the beauty there. As much as I love shooting in locations that I know well, it is such fun to go someplace that I don’t get to use very often and seek out new little pockets of beauty. I say all the time how much I love my clients. I have to give a shout out to Brittany, Emily, and Carolyn for sending Fox and his sweet family my way! There’s no greater compliment than to be recommended by another customer and I am really grateful. Fox, little guy, you are so cute!

Ann Dawson is One!

May 17, 2010

Well, as if you haven’t noticed…summer has definitely arrived in Memphis! I went out last Friday morning to the Botanic Gardens to capture some One Year Old portraits of Miss Ann Dawson! And it was H-O-T!!! The humidity just about did us all in, esp. Ann Dawson; but, we stuck with it and captured some gorgeous shots of this little beauty. Her smile was infectious and her laugh was just adorable. Happy first birthday, pretty girl! The fun has just begun!

Oh my golly, don’t you just wanna give her a kiss?!
