The 'F' Family!

I hope everyone's Christmas was magical. Ours sure was. We got to spend time at home, with family and with good food. :) What more can you ask for right?! This is my second time shooting this family. They are so much fun to hang out with and are always up for anything. Little Abby is such a cutie isn't she?!





Now, this is my favorite picture from the day. I just think it is hilarious!! All the parents wanted was a good family shot for Christmas cards, and Abby was not having it. Doesn't it make you want to sing Christmas carols? Ahhh, it reminds me of my children every day! haha.








Downtown Nashville, TN.


Aren't they a cute couple?




We'll end this post with this beautiful daddy daughter picture. Look at those eyes!! Beautiful!

Happy Wednesday!

Nexus Point

This is Nexus Point. Curt, the main singer, got in touch with me for this shoot and due to circumstances, we got together to make it happen a few hours later. I am pretty happy with the way these photos came out. I don't have a lot of rocker in me, but I try. :) The guys rocked it. In more ways than one. Enjoy!









Happy Thursday!

Because...

Just because it has been a really long time since I posted, here you go. I do have more to share I promise. I have been a little under the weather (if you will) the past two weeks, but I will be posting more soon... I finally got these pictures to my dear friend Amanda and I haven't even posted any of them yet. I will do a longer post soon because you don't want to miss these, but I couldn't wait any longer to post this face. Does it not make you want to have a baby?! Made me want to have another one (Surprise! I am pregnant!) Ok, but it wasn't really looking at this picture of baby Emmett that did it, but he's so adorable it almost hurts! Enjoy. Happy Monday!

October Wedding

Hello all. Sorry this post doesn't have a picture with it. Well, not on this blog at least. I am so happy to announce my best friend's new website. Mandy and I have worked together countless times on many, many projects, and this past October we tackled our first wedding together. It turned out amazing if I could be so bold. Check out Mandy's website anyway because she is a very talented photographer, but also to see all the wedding photos we shot. I will be doing a post of some of the ones I took on this blog, but for now, happy looking.

My Nephew

This little pudge ball is my nephew Crew. My sister Ashley and Crew travelled from Arizona to celebrate my birthday with us. Oh man did I have fun with them! Here's a few shots I got of the little munchkin.




This is my favorite picture of the two of them!




Oh for goodness sake, how did this get in here? Oh well, here are my two boys. Aren't they cute?!!!



Happy Sunday!

'H' Family

I have been so blessed these past two months to have worked with so many great families! This family was no exception. They were such troopers and went along with the flow. :) Thanks so much H family! You guys are so much fun! Enjoy your pictures!




This picture cracks me up. Shannon, forgive me for posting this. :) I wasn't even going to edit it, but it drew me in! I love it. Suc serious little tykes. They are like this all the time right??!! :)




These two kids are like child models!



Happy Thanksgiving! I will have another post for you tomorrow!

The 'V' Family!

This post has been long awaited I know. It is difficult to work when you have your little nephew and sister in town for your birthday! So that is where I have been for the past little bit. But now it's work time. This family cracked me up. I was a little nervous for 5 kids... but these guys were so well behaved! They totally were great sports. I had a great time with you guys. We definitely got some unique shots with the boys and their sword fighting and all. Isn't this a great family picture?!












Here's the running shot Julie Beth wanted. I think it turned out great! Such cute kids!!

Happy Monday!

General and Jackie

This is General. Jackie loves her doggie! Well who wouldn't?! He was so much fun! A bit of a stinker at times, but so so cute! (and just for reference Jackie, my old dog Hollywood would have been an even bigger stinker. hehe) This shoot was so fun because not only did Jackie bring her cute dog, she brought her cute sister and her cute niece. I got a mix of different shots with all involved and wish I could share them all. I love them!


Isn't she cute? Who wouldn't want to bring their little niece along? My 6 month old nephew just left this morning to go back to AZ. Oh how I miss his smiles already!




So cute!



Have a wonderful day!

Ashley and Jake

I stared and stared at these pictures trying to figure out which should go first. This one won. I love how all these turned out for them. Luck had to be on my side with how great these two were in front of the camera, how nice the weather and light was, and the fact that we went to two fabulous locations. I would gladly repeat this session if anyone is interested. :) Downtown and cheekwood anyone?






I could not figure out which I liked better. Color? Black and white? Ahhh... I love them both!


This one is probably my favorite of the day. Isn't it so sweet? Love it!







Big finish! Happy Monday!

She's going to graduate!

...well not till the spring. But still. I remember being a senior in HS and being so excited that you were going to get out of HS and get into the great big world. Shhhhh... don't tell anyone, but sometimes I wouldn't mind going back for a bit. I liked high school. I loved my friends. And the memories I made will always be priceless to me.

But this isn't about me. (darn it!) This is about my friend Jessica who is going into the great big world soon. Congrats to you! You are a gorgeous girl inside and out. I can't wait to see who you become... :)


As I have previously mentioned, this girl is fabulous!! Not only is she beautiful, but she can sing and play the guitar! She rocks! We shot these pictures at her high school and around the town by her house. I love so many of them.




Look at those eyes! And that skin! I really didn't doctor up her features at all. Just a tad of brightening is all!




Gotta love this truck! It is so vintage and it totally fits who Jess is. And it was in the right place at the right time. Oh the magic I feel in my heart. :)




Ok, about this cat. I sat Jess down here because the light was great etc, and this cat WOULD NOT leave us alone. I have SO many pictures with the darn cat in it. Her tail, her paw, it was like she knew we were taking pictures and that Jessica was a Dr. Dolittle just waiting to adopt her. I tried to scare her off and apparently I am not scary because the darn cat wouldn't leave. Oh well, we had fun!!! :)







Who doesn't love a good silhouette shot? Happy Sunday!
