Tennessee Families Part 4

This family is another family who I have recently met in TN and had the opportunity to photograph on a beautiful Saturday morning at a nearby park. This little guy is just an absolute doll and his mommy and daddy are adorable too! I loved working with these three and was able to capture some adorable moments. Thanks so much D family for letting me replace your annual portrait innovation session! These are priceless:)

Tennessee Families Part 2

I had the pleasure of photographing this BEAUTIFUL family a few weeks ago and the family photos couldn't possibly have turned out better. With a one year old in the mix I surprisingly managed to get SO many awesome family photos and I just couldn't stop! They are such a gorgeous family and I'm so thankful I had to opportunity to work with them! Thanks Mrs. A for letting me capture so many wonderful shots of your family!

Tennessee Families Part 1

Again...how do I ever choose...I have a million awesome pics from this family and I just love them to pieces! These boys are so photogenic and I just couldn't stop taking their photos! Here are just a few of my favs...again, so hard to choose. I just tried to pick some of the more unique ones:) Enjoy! These were all taken in downtown Franklin, TN...

Trying to catch up...

So I am SOOOO behind on blogging! I am so sorry to all of my followers for my lack of participation in this blog, however I do have good excuse:) Being too busy is usually a good excuse in the photography world and we all know that this is notoriously the busiest season of all in photography. Throw a few travelling sessions in there and some newborns, sick kiddos, Thanksgiving with unexpected travels, building a new house...and you get busy X 100! So, needless to say, I will do my best to catch up on this blog with some of my favorites from the last few weeks...

To start off...I flew to Kansas City a few weeks ago to photograph this beautiful little angel in her newborn sweetness! She is absolutely amazing in every way possible. I spent 2 days photographing her in her home and we had so much fun! Her momma and I are friends so I stayed at their home and just set up a few studio spots in their house. We got TONS of awesome shots and I wish I could share them all, but there are just way too many for that! Here are just a couple....Welcome to the world Miss K!!

I always LOVE getting the newborn grin...we all know what's usually happening when we see a smile this little:)

Little Man turns One!

This little guy recently moved to Tennessee and I had the pleasure of meeting his mommy just in time to take his one year pics! We met at a local park and it was a perfect setting for pictures. He was such a happy boy and we had such a great time! He even did a cake smash at the end and it made some great portraits. Here is a sneak peak of the session...

Little Princess

This little princess had her session in the midst of the Houston heat topping at 100 degrees and she started to sweat towards the end. I don't know how she lasted as long as she did, but she was such a great sport! She had multiple outfit changes and her mom brought some really cute chairs for us to play on. She is so adorable and I love seeing her every time I am back in Houston!

I love this last one...I think she's thinking, "Am I done yet?"

Poster Boys!

I mean it!! These two could be on the cover of a magazine with their cuteness all bundled up! I LOVE these boys and their parents are just the sweetest parents ever! This family is just such a pleasure to be around. I get to see them again in November when I travel back for my holiday sessions and I can't hardly wait.

And He's ONE!

I recently met this family while I was in Houston on my last visit. His mommy really wanted some shots of him and his dog. I have never owned a pet in my life, so I wouldn't consider myself 'good' with animals. I know that I am in the vast minority when it comes to that, but that doesn't mean I dislike pets. I always welcome families to bring along their pets for a family photo shoot if they want them in the photos. I just hope that it is understood I have NO talent for making a pet smile for the camera:) In this case, the dog weighed twice my weight, so I was a bit intimidated:) He was SO well behaved and despite the miserable heat, we got some fantastic shots!

This session will go on record as the hottest session I have ever done breaking the thermometer at a whopping 106 degrees outside. Ouch! What troopers! Normally, I wouldn't have done a session in these conditions, but I was only in town for that day for sessions. It was worth it to get such great pics!

Sweet Innocence

I have known this little girl since she was a newborn and had the pleasure of photographing her through all of her milestones. She is always such a delight and I just adore her mommy too! I found out that she is moving so even if I make it back to Houston for more sessions soon, I will likely not get to see her again:( So this was just as much a farewell session for me as it was a 18 month session for her. I will miss this family so much but wish them lots of luck in their upcoming adventures.
This rocking chair was a special chair that belonged to her great-grandma. She didn't like sitting in it very much, but it was such a beautiful chair to have in these photos as a memory of her loved one!

Fall Fun

These three kiddos are ALWAYS fun to work with and I love seeing what adorable outfits their stylish mom has picked out for their photos! They always look so cute and she has such great ideas. I get to see them again in November and I'm already looking forward to it! Getting a great shot of them all three together is usually a challenge, but we are starting to get it figured out:) Thanks guys for pushing through the heat in your jeans and sleeves and giving me a great session!
