Congratulations F.A.S.T.

A huge congrats goes out today to the Fayetteville Area Swim Team for a great season! This weekend F.A.S.T. finished off the 2011 season with 2nd place at the RACE League Championship.  This was the best season ever for the F.A.S.T.  Great coaches and great kids. I am so proud of them all!

 Here are a few of our awesome swimmers.

The Coon triple threat.

Our points leader, Miss Kelsey.

Andrew (I'm-all-about-the-ribbons) Dixon.

Grant who moved up from Tadpoles this season to filling in for the 11-12 year-olds relay when the team need him. 

Mermaid Molly who was so persistent for her mom to sign her up to swim Butterfly even when her mom didn't think she was ready.  She proved her mom wrong, and brought home a 3rd place ribbon the first time she competed!

There were lots of new records set this season meaning there will be lots of new names on the record board. Congratulations to all our F.A.S.T. swimmers on an awesome season!  

Cooper at 3 years | Southern Tennessee Child Photographer

I spent a little time this morning with my buddy, Cooper.  You may remember him from his earlier appearances here. I think this is the fourth time we have gotten together, so this time I wanted to do something a little different.  I hope his mom likes what I came up with!

I asked her to bring along his tricycle.

Let me tell you he is fast on it!

Then we went to another spot I discovered on one of my morning runs.  I want to use it everytime I run by it, and so glad to finally get the chance!

I just love the red tricycle in front of the blue wall.  

Cooper is going to be a big brother in just another week or two.  They way he helped me carrying things this morning, I know he is going to be a big help with her.  Happy birthday, Cooper!

Kailey and Kolton | Southern Tennessee Child Baby Photographer

Today's feature is of two cuties that I know pretty well.  They are Kailey and Kolton my great niece and nephew. Miss Kailey is 2-years-old and is pretty much a stinker.  Her favorite word seems to be...you guessed it "No!"  She said it pretty much every time I asked her to do something for me.

It went something like this:

Me: Kailey, can you sit in my yellow chair?  

Kailey: No!

Me: Kailey, can you smile for me?

Kailey: No!

Me: Kailey, would you like a lollipop?

Kailey: No!

So maybe with Kailey no means yes?

And then there is Kolton.  Six months and smiling all the time.

Such cutie pies.  Love 'em!

The Pendergrass Family | Southern Tennessee Family Photographer

What better Mother's Day gift for a wonderful mother and grandmother than a family photo session?  That is just what Mrs. Jane received for Mother's Day this year.  We got together for our shoot one beautiful Sunday afternoon.  Everyone put on their Sunday best and we headed for the cow pasture.  Where else?!

I love this one of the grandkiddos.  So sweet.

Justin and family.

Jackie and family.

Sweet Lily.  Such a precious girl.

My favorite of Jake.  

Luke, oh, Luke.  Just about the cutest thing I have ever seen.  

Beautiful Kayla.  I could shoot her all day.

Sweet AnnaKate.

 

One last family favorite.

This is such a sweet family, and I was so glad to get to spend the afternoon with them.  

I am very behind in posting sessions and plan to share a lot more this week, so come back soon!

Just a little peek into my session with sweet Paul last week.  Love that the weather is now permitting bare feet in the grass!

I cannot wait to share more from our session.
