Cooper is 2! - Southern Tennessee Child Photographer

You might remember Cooper from a few months ago when he was 18 months old.  He is now 2 and is as busy as any 2 year old boy can be.

I was glad he brought his parents along with him this time so we could get a few family shots. ;-)

But it was really all about Cooper.  I even brought along my "new" prop for him.  I found this old toy chest at the antique store and knew I had to get it.

And I'm really liking this one. 

This little stinker is just too cute! I will have the rest for you soon, Mom and Dad!

Big Photography Giveaway Family - Southern Tennessee Family Photographer

You might remember a while back when I was part of Becky Higgins' Big Photography Giveaway.  Jamie was the lucky winner of my session giveaway.  She and her husband Paul brought their precious daughters, Makenna and Emmerson to meet me a couple weeks ago.  We went to the farm and let the girls run and play.

Miss Emmerson really liked picking the flowers.  She is a busy, busy girl!

Miss Mckenna was more my speed. ;-) Such a pretty girl.  She is very excited about starting Kindergarten!

I love this one of Mckenna and her mom. Makes me happy.

There were some cows across the pasture and Emmerson really wanted a closer look.  

So we all went for a walk.

A pause for a quick family shot. 

And just a couple more favorites.

Jamie and Paul, thanks for making the drive up and for sharing your afternoon with me.  So glad to have met you!  Thanks to Becky Higgins for putting this awesome giveaway together. I am thrilled to be a part of it!

A Good Afternoon - Southern Tennessee Family Photographer

Last week I met up with the Good family for a late afternoon shoot.  It might have been late afternoon, but this is July in Tennessee.  It was HOT! So we found some shade near the river.

Amanda gets an A+ on wardrobe for the family. I absolutely love the orange and brown.

Miss Emma is one of Molly's classmates.  Love this sweet girl.  She is so much fun.  She is such a precious girl.

And I just love that snaggle tooth grin of hers.

Next we headed to a nearby farm I like to use.  What a great surprise to find that the horses were near the gate!  This brown one is very much the poser! 

He really liked Miss Emma.  She really liked him, too!

Let's end on what I think may be my favorite family shot. 

It really was a "good" afternoon.  We laughed a lot and that always makes for a good session. Thanks again for letting me share an afternoon with your family.  

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.
