Harper at 2 weeks = Southern Tennessee Newborn Photographer

Sweet, sweet baby Harper.  This little girl will always be special to me. After she had been home for a couple weeks I went to visit her for a little photo shoot. 

When I walked in I knew we had to do something in front of these doors. 

 

Is she not precious?!

And a few with her hat...

She's sure to have a great sense of style just like here mom!

Love her little grin in this one.  She may have been laughing at us.  She had managed to wet every blanket we put her on!  Little stinker!

But I still love her and always will. 

 I'm sure she will always be one of my favorite models. :-) Love that girl!

Mountain Getaway.

I just returned from a couple relaxing days in the mountains with my wonderful husband.  This is where I was this time yesterday. 

It was a much needed break, but it was nice to get back home to the kiddos. If you have emailed me please bear with me as I try to get back int he swing of things! I am looking forward to a fun Senior session tomorrow afternoon and I have lots of sessions to share from the past couple weeks.  I love summer!

Bowties and seersucker.

Last Friday afternoon I had a session scheduled with the Posey family.  At about the time I started getting my gear together it started thundering.  After checking the radar and exchanging a few phone calls, we decided it would be better to try again the next afternoon.  We have been having typical summer afternoon pop-up thunderstorms for the past couple of weeks.  So we met on Saturday afternoon.  While it thundered and threaten to rain on us Saturday afternoon, we managed to get in our session.  

I was smiling as soon as I met them.  You just know it's going to be a fun session when you client arrives in a seersucker suit, pink shirt and bow tie!

Nathan was a lot of fun.  He will be entering the 3rd grade this year, and from what I am told is a fierce Kung Fu warrior!

This is Matthew.  He had some pretty exciting news to share.  He just made the high school's Freshman baseball team.  I was very impressed!

And you know, it is fun when you see siblings that you can really tell do love each other.  I could tell that these two young men have a good relationship.  They kept me smiling.

This is just a super neat family. 

I'm a sucker for boys and their moms.  I couldn't help but to get a few shots of Kim with her boys.

And as much as these three guys kept me laughing I had to get one of Scott, Matt and Nate together.

Guys thanks for being flexible and for coming out to spend the afternoon with me. I hope you like the preview and will have more for you soon!

Welcoming Harper - Labor & Delivery Photographer

I am so excited to share Harper's slideshow.  This was truly one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. Thank you so much, Lori and BJ, for letting me share in this blessed day. 

Thank you to Valarie for getting this photo of Harper and me.  This sweet little girl will always be very special to me. 

Allie's Spring Recital - Southern Tennessee Child Photographer

I was going back through some sessions and realized I never shared Allie's session from this spring.  Allie is one of Molly's best friends.  My dear friend, Lana, asked me if I would take some photos of Allie in her recital ballet costume.  So we met one day during Spring Break.

I had to get lots of detail shots of Allie's costume. 

Love the ballet bun. 

Talented little hands and feet. 

We made arrangements to use the stage at our local museum. 

Isn't she a cutie?!

Lana is a very talented dancer and has taught dance for years.  She even owned her own studio a few years back.  She has decided to hang up her ballet slippers and wanted some special photos of her and Allie together. 

This was one of Lana's favorites.

And this was one of mine.

Before we left, we did a few outside in front of the gate. This is also a favorite. 

Allie's recital is now a memory, and I hope these photos serve as reminders of this special time in her life for years to come.
