Sweet Sweet Baby

Here is a teaser to my first birth photography experience. It was amazing. I will share a lot more soon...

Flash or no flash

Last week I took my almost 5 year old son, Cole, to the circus. We had a great time! I had told myself that I would live in the moment and not take too many pictures and not stress out about it, and I didn't. Take too many pictures that is. We went early to the pre-show and got to see some aerialists up close. I took on picture on auto (with the flash). Yikes! I knew it wasn't going to be good. This is what I got:



Not the best. So then as we stood there I quickly changed over to manual and gave it a try:



Much better! I do wish that I would have had more time (and closer seats!) to play with the spot lighting in that arena, but Cole and I had a great time and I did learn a quick lighting lesson. Stay tuned for pictures from a baby's birth that is happening TODAY! I can't wait to try my hand at birth photography. This is something I have been wanting to try, to capture those tender moments, those tiny hands and feet, to witness the miracle of life at a distance, and to give the family a rememberance of those first minutes with their sweet child.

Happy Thursday!

The 'B' Family

Hi ya'll. I am starting to feel better. More like myself, and not like some lazy person who occupies the couch throughout most of the day. :) And with that said, I could have posted these pictures a while back, but I guess I was saving them for, well, now! These guys are some of our greatest friends in Nashville. In fact when I first got my camera, Amanda was one of the few people I called and begged to let me come over and take pictures of her and her baby. hehe. She's a good sport. I love how these turned out. This is their house and land, and I thought it was cool that they wanted pictures on their property. Enjoy!


I think this one is my favorite! I love it so much I am debating framing it and hanging it up on my wall... so people will ask, 'who's kids are those?' Ok, maybe that would be silly, but aren't they so super cute?! Amanda's a scrapbooker. A good one. So I am sure she will do something awesome with this one!


The whole family. Aren't they cute?!













We'll end with this one. Happy Saturday!

My Baby

So I finally broke down and got my almost 3 year old's hair cut last week. Poor thing was SO adorable, but could barely see out of all his hair, so it was finally time. I had to share these pictures taken in the car right after his awesome first hair cut experience. Jackson was a trooper! He didn't fight it at all and his hair turned out so handsome I had to share. This is exactly what it is like to take pictures of my precious boy. He gives me a different face just about each frame. Gotta love that boy!

Family Pictures

My friend Stacy hired me to take her daughter's engagement pictures, bridal pictures, and now, to my excitement, asked me to take their family's pictures. With family all over, it is hard to get together for a good family picture. These guys were sports! They don't have children in the family yet, so pictures didn't take too long. It was so fun to meet the whole family! Hope you like the preview!


Aren't they all just working it!

We were slightly limited because it was raining, but we pulled off some great stuff!

All the daughters.

And lastly, all the kids and spouses. Aren't they a fun bunch?!

Happy Wednesday!
