Katey Sneak Peek | Southern Middle Tennessee Child Photographer

Here's a little sneak peek of the preciousness I am working on today. 

These make me smile!

The Arrick Family | Franklin Tennessee Family Photographer

It's not always a good thing to be related to a photographer.  Unfortunately, family sometimes has to wait a little longer than others, well because they are family.  They love us anyway and are more forgiving.  So with that, here is a semi-recent session of my sister and brother-in-law and kiddos.

We started out at their home and then made our way to a greenway where my sister and brother-in-law like to run. Here is my favorite of the kiddos.

The boys. Andy & Sam.

And Miss Anna.

I love this one of Amy laughing,

but this one is my absolute favorite of the Amy and Steve.

Before the train got there we did these.

After playing on the train tracks, we headed back to their house.  We had to take a few in front of the house.  Always a favorite of mine.

Steve and Sam were going to a Titans game that night, so while everyone else was in the house, Sam and I slipped outside for a few of him in his jersey.  Just a little surprise for mom and dad. :-)

This session ended like I wish all sessions did, a delicious meal and birthday cake!  It was like a surprise party for me!

Santa Accordion Album | Southern Tennessee Child Photographer

I just wanted to share this accordion album that I will be offering at my Down Home With Santa mini-sessions this year. 

These are just the cutest albums.  They are the perfect size for your purse and come with a plastic protective sleeve.

Here are a couple photos of the inside.

And a view of the  back.

There is a minimum purchase of 3 identical albums.  Just the right number for giving and still having one to keep! 

Celebrating Tucker's 1st Birthday | Southern Tennessee Baby Photographer

I recently got to join in the cutest 1st birthday celebration!  It was a gorgeous September day, and Tucker's parents inviited their family and friends for a cookout to celebrate.

Of course every birthday boy needs the perfect hat. 

 

and the perfect shoes.

Everything was adorable.  Especially the candy display!

Another fantastic cake by the talented Carla Gault.  

And what't a party without a little cake smash?

Happy birthday, Tucker!!!

Calm Before the Storm

Last week the kids were on Fall Break and we made our annual trip to Amelia Island. A week on the beach was just what I needed.  The calm before the storm I am calling it. My fellow photographers know what I am talking about.  October - December are the busiest months of the year.  The next couple of months are going to be full of fall sessions, Halloween and Santa mini-sessions, Christmas card sessions.  

Busy, busy, busy!

I already have a backlog of editing, so be on the lookout for lots of sneak peeks here and on Facebook. And since I can't post without including a photo of some kind, here is a favorite of my little mini-session with our kiddos on the beach last week.  It was so windy, but we managed to get a few good ones.
