The Pearson Family | Fayetteville Tennessee Family Photographer

Once again I am way behind in sharing sessions.  Thats' because I have been busy, busy, busy!  Today I am sharing a recent session with one of my favorite families.  You've seen them here before.  More than once. :-)  When I talk of the relationships I have been blessed with through this profession, this is one of the first ones that comes to mind.  I love Cooper and Cori.  Next week we have Cori's 1-year- session scheduled.  I cannot wait! I'm so blessed to get to watch them grow.  I love them so.  

Some sessions go without a hitch.  Some do not. This would be one of the latter. I had to work hard for this one.  Molly assisted me, and we were both tired afterwards.  When I got home I told Chris that I was glad that this wasn't the first session they had had with me because I thought they would be really worried!  Some days are just like that That is especially true when you are working with children.  That's why I just go with whatever they want to do.  It usually works out for the best that way. :-)  

Here are a few of my favorites from our afternoon.

And here is their video if you would like to see it.

Mom and me | Fayetteville, Tennessee family photographer

Mom and kiddo session.  I just love 'em.  Our kiddos grow up way too fast and as moms we are the ones who are usually behind the camera.  I love capturing those little moments between moms and their little ones.  Erin and her kiddos joined me on a Saturday morning to do just that.

Owen.  Loved his mohawk. He is just too stinkin' cute.

Maddy.  Such a sweet girl.

It's obvious she is a good big sister.

Love this candid one.  Sweet moment.

This was such a great day. I think starting with this great session just set the tone for day.  Thanks guys!

FAST Piranhas 2012 | Middle Tennessee Sports Photographer

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of photographing my daughters' swim team.  This is the second year in the row I have done the team photos.  This year is a kind of tough year for our team.  Our competition pool has been out of service for almost a year now, so we had to make arrangements to use the pool at our local wellness center.  We are thankful to have somewhere to practice, but we cannot host any home meets this season. Keep your fingers crossed for us that things will change before next summer.  

So I said all of that to explain a little about the setting for our photos. Generally the team photo is done with the pool in the background, and then the individual shots are done in the pool.  That really wasn't an option this year because the pool is small, indoors and has terrible lighting.  I decided to take my backdrop and studio lighting and do something different.  We had a lot of fun with these.  I had some of the kids give me their best intimidating faces.  Here are a few of my favorites. 

And here is a look at this year's Memory Mate.  

For those photographers out there who like to create their own products rather than using templates, I created this one using product by Gina Miller.  You can find her creations at www.the-lilypad.com

Last the FAST Piranhas won their first meet of the season.  What a great way to start the season.  I bet it's just the beginning of another great season. 

I will be offering these posters for purchase to our swimmers.  Also, if there is interest, I will offer a make up day for individual shots in the studio.

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I have!

Product Spotlight - Sugar & Spice Album.

I've put together a lot of coffee table albums.  I've loved them all, but this may be my favorite. At least for the girls it is. 

Introducing the Sugar & Spice Album.

It can feature up to 19 images from your session.

The pages are hinged so that they lay flat.

The pages are also UV coated.

This album is available in either 8x8 or 10x10.  The one shown here is an 8x8.

All my albums come beautifully packaged.

Coffee table albums are an affordable way to showcase many images from your session.  They are sure to be treasured for years to come.

The Decker Family | Middle Tennessee Family Photograper

Molly and I recently spent the afternoon with another sweet family. Lana wanted family portraits at their home, and Molly went along with me to assist.  I am always so glad when a family wants to use there home for the setting of their session.  To me it makes their images all the more special.

I love these in the field across from their house.

Luke is such a cutie pie.

I am always a sucker for mommies and their little boys.

Dads with their little boys are pretty sweet, too.

This next one may be my very favorite.

Thanks Decker family for welcoming Molly and me into your home.  We had such a good time with you, and hope you will enjoy your images for years to come.
