Senior Season - Southern Tennessee Senior Photographer.

It's that time! Senior portrait time!  I love, love, love shooting Seniors! I've been so busy editing lately that I haven't had a lot of time to share all of their sessions just yet, but I wanted to share just a little peek of what I am working on at the moment.

I just finished editing Kaytlynn's session last week.

  

I am finishing up Kyle's.

And then will be to Katelyn's session.

A lot of K's in there, huh? ;-) I just love 'em all!  Stay tuned for full posts!

Jennifer & Chris' Engagement.

Some posts are just intimidating.  Intimidating because the people in them are just so special to me.  Jennifer came into our lives probably 6 years ago.  I cannot remember the exact day, but I know it was before Stewart was born and he will turn 5 years old this weekend.  She was our babysitter then, and she watched Elizabeth and Molly during the day while I was in the hospital with Stewart.  At the time she was in high school and was working part-time for my husband, Chris. She has grown to be a dear friend to our family. That is why I was so excited about her engagement to her Chris.  I was even more excited when she asked me to take their engagement photos.

Our original location didn't work out, and I think that was for the best.  Jennifer had told me she wanted flowers, and I had driven past these flowers just a few days before.  They were in front of my friend, Amy's, farm and I knew that she wouldn't mind.  We were literally on the side of the highway with cars passing at 55 MPH, but you would never know it.  These two are just so much in love!

There are just so many from their session that I love.  They both told me that they weren't photogenic, but I would have to disagree.

Jennifer and Chris' story is a lot like mine and my Chris'.  They were friends before they were a couple.  I think that can make for an even stronger relationship. 

I mean could they be any cuter?

Jennifer was such a good sport even though we were all three itching like crazy after the shoot.

Love this one.

And this one among many others.

I really don't know if I could pick an absolute favorite.  They just made it too difficult, but this is definitely a front runner.

Jenn and Chris, I am so, so happy for you!  I cannot wait until your wedding this December!  Love you!

Bonnie's Bridal Session - Sneak Peek.

Bonnie and Tyson's big day was a couple weeks ago, so I thought I would share a few favorites from Bonnie's bridal session.  We decided on my house for her session and this one is looking out our bedroom door.

One of my favorites.

Just a little peek.  I plan to do a more complete post soon.  Right now I have to go to a swim meet!!

Small token.

I received these a few days ago along with a sweet note.

"...I am so thankful for you taking the time in making our special day so perfect with all the great pictures.  You are fabulous at what you do!  I can't wait until family picture time again!"

Love, 

Lori

Lori and BJ gave me such a wonderful gift by allowing me to be there for the birth of their precious Harper.  I can never thank them enough.  I will always cherish the day and am so thankful to call them my friends.  Thanks for letting me share!

Baby Daniel - Southern Tennessee Baby Photographer

I have let too much time go by without posting Sweet baby Daniel's session.  Seeing him week after week at church I cannot believe how big he has already gotten! Of course it was just a couple months ago when we had his session.  It's just amazing how quickly they grow!

He was wide awake almost the entire time I was there.  He's already a busy boy, but what could you expect with three older brothers?!

Yes, I said three older brothers! Andy, David, Michael and now Daniel. They are such sweet boys.  My sweet friend Celeste said that she was really enjoying her days alone with Daniel.  All the other boys were in school the day I was there, and she said it was almost like he was the first child during the day. I know it allowed for some wonderful bonding. 

I love moments like this.

And this...

And especially this...

Celeste is truly one of the most beautiful people I know.  Everyone who knows her is truly blessed. Probably the most blessed are her husband, Jim, and their four sons.  A beautiful mother raising a beautiful family.  Every family should be so lucky.
