Scott and Christina teaser

Tonight I was privileged to shoot an open house/reception for a beautiful couple. I've known Christina for a while and just met Scott on Thursday, but oh my gosh these two were made for each other. They clearly have such a connection and just really love to be around each other. This post is just a teaser, I promise a much larger post of this wedding to come soon, but for now enjoy this picture. Kinda makes me want to get married again. (let me clarify that I want to marry the same man that I am married to currently..... not someone else.) But I am sure you knew that already.



A very happy Saturday!

Sweet Baby Levi

Over the past few years I have gotten the chance to photograph this family a bunch of times. They are moving across the country to Utah soon, but before they do we were able to sneak in a newborn photo shoot. Abby has a little brother now! Baby Levi! And what a cutie he is. He really is a sweet baby and I know I will miss these guys. Good luck Jen and Mikal. We'll miss you!













I'll end with this one. I love it! Happy Friday!!

The Birthday Girl!

I am going to be honest people. I haven't been online in over a week. Mainly due to our internet not working, but also because I have just been spending time with my boys. We've been playing in the pool, reading, playing starwars, planting flowers in the yard and just enjoying each other. So, while I haven't been online very much in the month of July, I promise I am still here. And to be honest again, it's been kinda nice. :)

Just don't think that I haven't gotten my camera out lately. This little beauty is my niece, Aria. She was born 8 days before Caden. They are the best of buddies. Besides the fact that Caden is enthralled with her and wants nothing more than to pull her hair. :) But I digress. Aria is such a doll of a baby. Happy Birthday little Miss. I sure do love you!!!













Happy Wednesday!!

Cardwell Family Preview

A year ago I asked Niki Cardwell of Stella Dolce Photography to photograph my birth. She came, shot the pictures, and now I have those memories to hold on to forever. It's a year later, but I have to give a huge shout out to Niki for taking those pictures for me. And in turn I was able to shoot her adorable family. Thank you for letting me take your pictures and I hope you enjoy your preview. :)









I couldn't not put this picture on here to share. Children will be children and this little girl is so stinking cute!!







Happy Tuesday!!

Summer Reading

My goal this summer is to post more on what we are doing as a family. Sometimes I wish I had more hours in the day. I know we all feel that way. :) But I really want to share this with you. My son Jackson spending some good reading time. I've signed the boys up at the local library for a reading program this summer. I believe they have to have 10 hours of reading complete by the 16th of July. It's coming up and I am hounding my boys to be responsible and complete all 10 hours on time. So just about every day we have some good reading time. I am so proud of my boys. They might be slightly motivated by the prize they'll get in the end (who knows what it'll be...) but hey, motivation is motivation. :) If our Nashville sun ever comes back out i'll take some back yard pool pics and share them. Oh I love my boys. Happy Summer!

Baby Jackson Preview

I am feeling so very blessed today. Life is going great. The sun came out today, birds were chirping, children were singing in church, daddy's all over were being celebrated. This week is busy for my family. Then we get to go camping with all of my husband's family. My boys are so excited about camping and boating and playing with their cousins. But I digress. The theme of today is fathers. To my dad, my dad-in-law, my husband, my best friend's dad (who I definitely consider one of my dads :), and all the dad's out there, I honor you. Being a parent is one of the hardest and thankless jobs you can commit yourself to. But we thank you nonetheless. You are so appreciated.

This leads me into little baby Jackson's preview. Jackson is the first baby to new parents Anna and Brandon. And what a cutie he is! Jackson (who has the most fabulous name if you ask me!) is such a good baby. He didn't want to sleep, so he just kinda hung out and went a long for the ride. Anna, thanks for letting me take some pictures of your new little man. I hope you and Brandon are having a wonderful first father's day together. Enjoy your preview!











Happy Sunday!

J. Magnolia Crochet Designs

A while back I had been asked by a few people to do newborn shoots and I wanted to expand my newborn prop collection so I asked my super talented SIL Joanna to make me this baby nest. It is SO cute!! Doesn't little baby Kennedy look adorable in it?! Joanna makes a ton of different items from headbands, to hair barrettes and scarfs. If you'd like to order anything from her, check out her website. Thanks Joanna for helping me with this. I promise to put it to good use. :)

Kennedy Louise

Oh man this little girl is as sweet as they come. I had the pleasure to spend some time with Miss Kennedy Louise when she was just a few days old. I love newborn shoots! They take a little time but then it's an excuse to snuggle and hug them. Keena I hope you enjoy your preview. Your daughter is the sweetest!! :)

Mary Dawn Preview

This beautiful woman is Mary Dawn. Mary Dawn has been a friend of mine since I worked for a dental office here in Nashville. I think it's been about 2 years since I've worked there. My how time flies, but I just LOVE the people there and am so glad I've kept up with some of them. Mary Dawn has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and will start chemotherapy very soon. We've been talking about doing her pictures since I worked at the office but we just never made it a priority. I am so glad I could come spend the morning with you Mary Dawn. You are such a light in my life and I just appreciate all your positivity. Life is too short to take it for granted. You are a beautiful and caring woman and I am so glad to know you. Enjoy your preview!

This is art that Mary Dawn makes. Isn't it fantastic!?

















Caden came along on this shoot too. He just wanted to say hello. Happy Thursday!

Sweet Baby Kennedy

I had the honor to be there immediately after baby Kennedy's birth. I felt so overjoyed at the spirit in the air. Kennedy you are so beautiful, Kaleb you were such a happy, excited new dad, and Keena, you are superwoman!! I am so happy for your family! Enjoy your preview.



These pictures melt my heart. Notice Kaleb's holding his daughter's hand. I didn't even notice it at the time when I shot the picture but oh how sweet.



Look at the love here. I love these photos!! Keena's first time holding her daughter. Is any one else's womb hurting? No? Just mine? :) I am reminding myself that my son isn't even a whole year old yet.



Sweet baby girl.

Happy Tuesday!

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!
