Spring Mini-Sessions Part Two

This cutie's name is Brexton. He was so much fun with that big smile.




And why haven't I shot with bubbles before? Hold moley do I love this picture!

This last picture is for Brexton's parents who tell me he is quite the 'mover and groover' type. He loves to get up and go. It works out nicely for pictures though. :)



I am sure you all remember Miss Abigail. She refused to give us a smile yesterday.... well, refused up until the very end of the shoot when I caught one. Ha! I caught it. :) Thanks Abby for being a trooper. I promise some day you'll like me.

She's going to be a big sister in July!!




I love this first photo of her. It's so, what is the word? Organic. Love her bare feet walking in the grass. Love it!


There it is!! The smile pops out at the very end of the day.

Thanks guys for the awesome day yesterday!!

Spring Mini-Sessions Part One

Yesterday's spring mini-shoots were a great success! I had such a fun time with these kids (and adults!). Thank you Kaylee, Linda and Joshua for this first preview post. You were awesome!







What a cutie! Thanks Melissa for bringing Joshua. I look forward to doing more pictures of the two of you!



This mother daughter session was so sweet. I love that you spent the time to get some pictures taken together... nothing expected, rather just that you wanted to remember this time together. I am so glad you guys contacted me again and that you moved back to TN!! Enjoy your preview!





Happy Sunday!

Spring Mini-Sessions and other business stuff

Brace yourselves people. This is going to be a business post. Full of information and NO pictures. So if you're still reading, thank you! lol. I know I have been saying for a (very) long time that I am working on an actual website. And I am. I promise. :) But having a baby, not to mention 2 other boys, has kept me pretty darn busy this past year, and things like websites have fallen by the way side. But don't lose faith in me. It's coming...

A couple of items of business, I am right now scheduling shoots for spring and summer. If you know you want to book, do it fast so I can make sure to get you in the schedule. It's going fast. For the remainder of 2011, shoots will be $100. This includes an hour to an hour and a half of custom photography and 25-40 edited images on a high resolution disk.

Last year, we had great success with the Easter mini-shoots. I am going to offer Easter/Spring mini sessions again this year. The date will be Saturday, April 9th. I will take 3-5 sessions for that date. If those fill up and I have 3 or more people interested, I plan to schedule another date. Location for these mini-sessions is still being determined, but probably be somewhere in Belle Meade area. Please contact me if you are interested, for more specifics and for times. We will not be using a bunny again this year. If I can get my hands on a chick, we'll do that. Otherwise, we can still use Easter-ish props if you like. Or you can plan on the session to just be 'springy'. Again, contact me if you are interested. The cost will be $35 for 25 minutes of custom photography of up to 3 people, and up to 10 edited images on a disk. This will be the last time I can offer these mini-shoots for this price.

I have had a few people ask about photographing babies and pregnant bellies.... If you are pregnant or know someone who is and would like to get maternity and newborn shots done I would like to run a special. A "Mommy and Me" package consisting of two full shoots, bellies and babies..., for $165. It's a savings of 35 bucks. So take advantage of this deal.

And lastly, I would like to say thank you so much to my awesome clients. Your beautiful faces, smiles, children, animals, laughter, is truly the reason I do this and the reason I LOVE to do this. Thank you so much!!

Happy Monday!

College Roommates - 10 years later

My sister in law Jessie had the chance this week to spend time with her old college roommate Tiffany. The two of them haven't been in the same state for close to ten years (I believe)... but for them it's like time hasn't passed. I loved seeing Jessie's happy face as she got to spend time with someone who knew her way back when. I know the feeling, all too well, of loving that precious time with a friend who lives far away...

Aren't they cute?! I want to jump in there and have a good time right along with them.



I was so flattered when Jess asked me to take some pictures of them... I wish it hadn't been so cold for these poor kids, but man are they cute!!







Happy Thursday!!

Lily Bunny First Sessions

Yesterday was such a blast!! I started off the shoots with these beauties. Aren't they precious?! Madison and Jenna were so good with the bunny! They loved spending time holding her and letting her eat their dresses... Sorry Madison! :) I guess she didn't eat them, but she sure tried to nibble them a bit. Thanks for spending a little time with us yesterday, it was a great time! Hope you enjoy your preview!




This is little Marley. You've seen her before here. She is such a doll! Don't you just love this picture?! I am pretty sure we didn't mean to pose her quite so well, and all the while have Lily bunny be trying to jump away, but it worked out so well here! Thanks for bringing her by for the mini-session! Hope Marley had as much fun as I did!




This is Porter. Look at those eyes! What a doll. Ahem, I mean, he's quite handsome! My almost 5 year old son would die knowing I called another boy a doll. :) I have to be political here. He loved Lily as well, and we had so much fun! At one point in this shoot I was in the zone and layed down on the grass. Opps, can't lay down on my baby belly anymore. Ouch! :)




I went ahead and saved this for last. Isn't this just so super cute?! Little Emmett loved Lily bunny. He didn't quite know how to be soft with her, but she held her own in her basket. :)

I have a few more mini-sessions with the bunny this week and this next weekend, so if you are interested in having your child's picture taken, email or call me!! This has already been so much fun that I might have to make it a yearly tradition. Now if I can get my husband to let me keep the bunny. :) Miracles happen right?!

Lily Bunny with Lily

Here's the first preview picture from our first mini-session today. It was SO much fun and the kids loved it!! Lily bunny was a hit! Stay tuned for more....
