I think my sweet children are the most beautiful things in this world…so forgive a Momma as I share a lot of photos on this post! πŸ™‚ I’ve been dying to get out to Collierville to shoot at Schilling Farms for quite some time, but, oddly enough this location has never been requested by any of my clients. I see it pop up time and again in others photographer’s blogs and Facebook posts. And, yes, I look at them, too! I could spend hours and hours looking at work by my peers…just love it! So, this little session with Isabella had several purposes for me. I am going to use this location for my Mini Sessions in October and needed some sample photos to show. What better little model than my little 8-year-old sweetheart? As we drove out to Collierville yesterday the skies were getting darker by the minute. But, luckily, I can work quick and so can she! We managed to get about 15 minutes in before the rain came down on us. I LOVED this location as much as I thought that I would; however, if you have come to this post to see what this location looks like for your own portrait session, please keep in mind that I cannot guarantee that the hay bales will be there for your session. I don’t know how long they will be around, but that’s okay because the barn, fields, trees and grasses are the perfect backdrop for your session. I can’t wait to see this Fall’s October Minis at this locale. Enjoy the photos of my beautiful baby girl! I love her so very much!

This next one is a great shot of the profile of the old barn…would be much more appropriate with a family than itty-bitty Bella…still wanted to show it b/c it’s so pretty!

This next one is one of my favs from the night…

I can just hear her asking me “Momma, aren’t we done? It’s about to rain!!”

My answer, “No, sweetheart, not quite yet. Just a couple more.” And, I am so glad I grabbed a couple more. Love these last ones!!

Sisters=LOVE!!! Ya’ll know my love affair with shooting sisters, right? Imagine my excitement when last night I got to photograph four of them…all absolutely beautiful, with sweet personalities and dressed completely adorable compliments of their momma’s amazing sewing skills! Β Emerson is the oldest at 6, Palmer is almost 5, Hudson is 3, and little Crawford is about to turn 2! This is one busy group! I’ve known this sweet family for quite some time. We go to church together and recently became neighbors! They live just a few houses down from me on my street…aren’t I a lucky girl? πŸ™‚ I loved our time together, complete with group shots, ladybug drama, individual shots including some hilarious roll around in the grass moments as well as documenting two of the sisters birthdays. After we finished our main session, we changed Palmer and Crawford into equally adorable outfits to mark their turning 5 years and 2 years very soon! Thank you, Tracy and Ryan, for sharing your beautiful little ladies with me! They are just precious and I know you are so proud of them. Enjoy…

Big sister, Emerson…don’t you just love the missing tooth?

Miss Palmer with the sparkling eyes and sweet grin…

Little Hudson with the most adorable little “cheese” forced smile I’ve seen in a while. This was a genuine smile though! πŸ™‚

And baby Crawford of whom all the sisters fought over wanting to hold her hand on our “walking” shot. Not a bad place to be lil’ sis!

Here’s that walking shot. Love this so much!

And, finally, a couple of quick birthday shots. Happy Birthday to Palmer and Crawford!

Joey is Two!

Love this sweet boy and the adorable little faces he makes! He is all boy, all fun, all energy and ready to go! I can hardly believe he is already been bringing smiles to Abby and Michael for two years! Just love this great family! Thank you for always sharing your boy with me! πŸ™‚

Brooks is One!

August 16, 2012

What a difference a year can make for two fun brothers! Here’s Brooks and Cohen 14 months ago:

And here they are today!

Love, love, love these two cute little guys! We had fun last night chasing them around and seeing their cute interactions with each other. And, their big eyes and sweet grins just melt my heart! I’m sad that yet another baby plan has come to an end for this fabulous little family. Thanks so much, Clark and Ashlee, for sharing your boys with me all these years! πŸ™‚

Ty and Lizzie…

June 29, 2012

What a great way to end my “Spring” season with Ty and Lizzie! I take off the month of July and into the first part of August to be with my children and take some vacation time, so these two were my swan song for a couple of months! Great ending to a great season! I loved my time spent with these absolutely gorgeous little children! They have such sweet features and beautiful, expressive eyes! I loved Mr.Ty’s full out energy level! He kept me laughing and on my toes! πŸ™‚ And, precious little Lizzie has the calmest spirit and adorable smile. Just loved it! Thank you, Jen, for sharing your children with me. Enjoy! πŸ™‚

I just love these grins!! They were excited about some candy they were about to get for doing such a good job. hehe!

This precious family has grown by one little person since the last time I photographed them! Meet Ellie Grace, Jackson and newest little man Charlie! I just love this family! They are full of joy and laughter and excitement! They had nothing but smiles all night long for me and we had such fun! You never know what you might get with three children this young, but these three did SO good! And, I truly think it was because they truly love one another so very much. Thanks for coming to see me again, guys! I hope you love what you see here…more to come! πŸ™‚

Love this grin!!

Brothers are so much FUN!! I’ve had a sweet run with sisters recently, so it was a great change of pace to get to photograph a fun and charming set of brothers! Boys are such fun to photograph because they want to climb…on everything! They want to punch and wrestle…which I love because it makes for such fun photos! They also don’t care one bit about touching each other or coming anywhere near acting like they like one another! So funny! So, as the photographer, you embrace those moments and capture them as they are…fun, silly, and absolutely adorable! So enjoyed photographing these two boys and their parents. They are such a beautiful family! Enjoy your sneak peek…more to come soon! πŸ™‚

Lainey is Five!

June 20, 2012

Well, almost five! She will be in July! πŸ™‚ I always get so excited when I see this sweetheart’s name come across my calendar! This is now our 6th session we’ve done together, starting with her newborn session years ago! I adore her spunk, smiles, laughter, curiosity and fun! She’s one of those children that even when she isn’t smiling she is gorgeous. Love, love, love me some Lainey! Thank you for constantly sharing your daughter with me and allowing me the joy of watching her grow into a beautiful young lady!

Meet Benton, age 7, and Brooke, age 3! I had the absolutely best time photographing these two beauties the other night. Seriously, they could not take a bad photo! We had such fun laughing, and giggling, and being silly together. I love that about my job…just being with the kids and having a ball doing what I do and coming up with portraits that I know the parents will love. They brought a change of clothes to the session, and it was almost as if we started over again with fresh spirits and smiles…as if the first 30 minutes in their white dresses didn’t produce enough goodness, right? I just adore everything about this session. Thank you, Meg, for sharing your girls with me. They are precious and beautiful, both inside and out! πŸ™‚

Hannah, Chase and Mia…

June 10, 2012

This is one fabulous family! Big sister Hannah, who is 10, with her gorgeous smile and so very sweet little giggle that just warms your heart! And, Mr.Chase, who just finished 2nd grade in the same class as my daughter…who all night long just was lovin’ this photo session and wanted his photo taken any and everywhere I was willing! And, little Mia, who was quiet and demure the entire evening but when she smiled just lit up the place! I so enjoyed my time with these siblings who obviously adore one another, take care of each other, and enjoy laughing together. It was my joy to spend time capturing their world for them! And, not to mention the fun of photographing siblings with some of the most BEAUTIFUL eyes I’ve seen in quite some time. Looooooove!!!Β Enjoy your sneak peek….so many more to come! πŸ™‚
