Cori at 6 months | Southern Middle Fayetteville Tennessee Baby Photographer

Sweet, sweet Cori.  I have been photographing her brother Cooper for a couple years now.  Cori joined the family last year and this is already her third time to come see me.  There are so many more options now that she is a big girl and can sit up all by herself.  Her mom took advantage of my Valentine mini-session last weekend and used them for her 6 months portraits. Such a happy, happy girl that you wouldn't guess she had been to the doctor's office that morning to get a shot for her horrible ear infection that she just couldn't seem to get rid of. So enough of my babbling!  Let's get to the good stuff!

These were 6-month photos, but we did some Valentine shots, too.

Couldn't you just eat her up?! 

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!!!

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!

Baby Paul at 6 months | Middle Tennessee Baby Photographer

You might remember Paul from his session back in December.  His mom invited me back to their home for Paul 6-monthish session.  Our first date was rained out (it has been a very wet spring), so we rescheduled for a couple weeks later.  What a great decision that was because we ended up having the perfect weather on our second attempt. Warm and sunny - just perfect for bare feet!

 We started out with a few Easter poses.

Hello there!

And then we changed into something blue.

We also brought his rocking chair out into the front yard.  This is his serious look. 

And this is just pure sweetness.

And for the first time ever, I think he sat in the grass.  I just love those little bare feet. 

Such a sweet, sweet boy about to celebrate his first Easter

Barefeet and bunnies | Southern Tennessee Baby Photographer

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.
