Keena's Maternity Shoot

I am way behind on my blogging for clients, but I did want to share these photos with you. Keena has been such a great friend and client of mine and she is about to have this baby girl. Infact, I will let you in on the know that I am going to the hospital today to shoot her delivery! So excited for them! Enjoy her preview pictures. What a beautiful mama!















Happy Monday!

Anna and Brandon Preview

Aren't they a beautiful couple?!

These two cats moved to Nashville in August this past year for lawschool. And now Mr. Brandon is done with his first year and they are about to be parents. Oh how time flies! I am just so excited for them!! I had a great time on your shoot, and even though I was a little sweaty and just a titch worried about 'glamour shots' :) I had a blast and hope you guys enjoy the pictures. But really, this little dude is so incredibly lucky to have you both as parents!



















I'll leave you with this last one. Enjoy your preview guys. And congrats again on the baby!! Happy Tuesday!

In Honor of Mother's Day

In honor of Mother's Day, I wanted to share some photos I took at a baby shower I attended recently. I have quite a few friends who are about to be mothers in the next month. Some first time mothers, some it's their 4th time around, but it's all very exciting and each deserve ample amounts of appreciation for what they are about to do.... Birth is probably the very hardest thing I have ever done. It was painful, trying, sweaty, and just down right difficult. But even with all that pain, giving birth was the very best thing I have ever done. The most selfless thing I have probably done, (although at the time it probably didn't feel selfless because I just wanted that baby out!) :) On top of everything else, giving birth to that perfect little person leads you into motherhood. And motherhood is what we are celebrating today. Honoring the mother's who have shown us all the way. I applaud you all for your sleepless nights, for your feedings around the clock, for your chauffeuring to and from school or dance or soccer practice. There are no road maps in motherhood, but as far as I am concerned the world is still a wonderful place to be. 'All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.' - Abraham Lincoln

















Have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Little Baby Belly

This pregnant belly belongs to my sister Ashley. I know I post more pictures of them than I do of my own children, but truthfully, that's because I probably take more pictures of them than I do of my own children. I swear that when I get the camera out for my kids they scream and run away. Or put up such a fuss it's simply impossible to get some good shots of them. I know it won't always be like that, so for now, here's my sister and her husband Brian and their adorable little man, Crew.







Isn't he a cutie?!







I'll end with this one. And I just have to say that I shot these pictures with my own 3 month old child in the bjorn (snuggly) and that he cried for about half the time. It was awesome. No, actually it was not. But I guess it proves that sometimes in life, to quote one of my favorite comedians, you just gotta 'get er done'.

Love these people and their soon to be daughter, Briley. I can't wait to meet her!

Enjoy!

Beautiful Mommyhood

While in Arizona, my sister introduced me to a friend of hers and we were able to get together for a shoot. Doesn't Chesney make the most beautiful pregnant mama?! I barely know her but I am so super excited for her to be a mommy to little Brody who will make his appearance in the coming month. Congrats Chesney and Josh! I feel honored to have been able to be a part of your special time!!













I'll leave you with this one. Love it! Happy Wednesday!
