Abbie - Class of 2010.

Seniors. I love seniors. Especially sweet, spunky, fun seniors like Abbie. We had a great time on her Senior photo shoot!

We met at Abbie's grandparents new log home out in the country. It was the perfect spot! There was a corn field in front of their home and we took full advantage of it. Perfect for Abbie's boots and cute little dress! Loved her wardrobe choice!

I found one thing Abbie is not very good at.  Not smiling.  The girl could not keep a smile off her face.  I guess if you have to be bad at something, that's a good thing to be bad about. :-)

One in the road. I always love the looks people give us when we do these.  It's usually on country roads so there's not that much traffic, but sometimes we have to run to the shoulder of the road. Some passersby look at us like we are crazy. :-)

A quick change, and we were back to it. I love the sunlight in this one. I love that one ray coming across her shoulder.

Abbie plans to go to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga after high school.  She wants to be a neo-natal nurse. With her sweet personality, I think she will make a wonderful nurse.

We were losing daylight, but we decided to make a dash into town to try to get a few urban shots. Abbie quickly changed,and we rushed into town.  I am so glad we did because these are some of my favorites. 

One of the nice things about living in a small town is that you can do this.

We ended our shoot in front of the old Coca-Cola sign.  I just love the colors in the sign against the colors in her dress.

 I hope you like them, Abbie.  I am so glad I got to spend the afternoon getting to know you.  I will have more for you soon!

Beautiful Brittany.

You may recognize Brittany from some of the photos I did of her family. She was responsible for putting it together, and she did an amazing job! And she was so organized! She had a detailed list of all the photos they wanted to get and was checking them off the entire time.  I told her that I needed to hire her as my assistant.  After we had finished with all the family photos, she and I snuck away for a little photo shoot all her own.

Brittany is right at home in front of the camera. I can't decide if I like this one better in color...

or black & white.

I love the sunlight in this next one.

A little attitude is always good!

Hope you like them Brittany! Looking forward to next time! 

Madison and Owen.

Madison and Owen's mom contacted me about fall photo of her two kiddos. She had seen some that I had taken in the woods behind our house and liked them. They came over one afternoon during Madison's (Maddy's) fall break from school, and we headed into the woods for a little walk.

Maddy is a football cheerleader and shared a little secret with me.  She has two boyfriends! I can see why!

It had rained the morning before their session that afternoon, and we almost rescheduled. I am glad that we didn't because it turned out to be a gorgeous afternoon! After taking some in the woods, we drove on down into our hayfield. We did some slipping and sliding, and I was thankful for my 4WD.  It was worth a little mud to get these shots.

Owen is such a cutie with that cotton top of his.

As I was loading up for our session, I grabbed this pumpkin that one of my kids had gotten on a field trip.  Just a thought as I was packing up, and I'm glad I brought it. Owen really like it. He liked my yellow chair, too!

Something about this next one just makes me smile. :-)

 Hope you like the preview, Erin.  There are many more to come!

Happy Halloween.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween! Hope you get lots of candy!

A fantastic fall day.

I met my friends Stacey and Chad earlier this week for a family portrait session. It was an absolutely gorgeous fall afternoon.  A great afternoon for spending a little time with a wonderful family.  You have met Ben before, but here is the rest of Ben's family. 

Ben was such a happy fellow that he was the focus of a lot of my attention. But how could I help myself?! He is one of my favorite 2-year-olds. Always so happy. I think his mom is going to be in trouble. What do you think? ;-)

 Ben has three older siblings. They are pretty great, also!

This is Caleb.  He is a 7th grader this year.

This is Miss Hannah.  Such beauty.  Hannah is in 6th grade.

 

This is Miss Kate.  She is one of my Elizabeth's best friends. I just love my sweet Kate.

Before we called it a day, we had to get a few of mom and dad together. Stacey really wanted some photos of the two of them.  I think like the rest of us that is a rare occurance after having kids. Here are a couple of my favorites.  They make me smile.

This was such a fun afternoon. I love it when it is this easy.  Such a great family. Hope you guys like them!
