I recently held my annual facebook contest, and the “W” family won!  They were such a joy to work with, and all of them had beautiful eyes!  Don’t take my word for it, check them out for yourself!

I love Janna and Torey!  They’re expecting their first baby and wanted some “engagement-like” images for their home before the little is here!  They are so beautiful together, right?!

Farrar contacted me several months ago about a session.  She wanted to surprise her best friend and get photos taken of her and her daughters, along with Farrar and her adorable daughter.  I don’t normally take sessions like this, but really, you’d have to see their children.  They are way too cute to pass up!  This is just a small sneak peek and what I could get edited right now, so I’ll probably post many more later!

I’ve known Travis and Mallory for a long time, we went to school together from elementary school up to high school, I believe. We did this session as a present for their mom, and here’s a sneak peek.

Hi everyone!

These photos aren’t from a session at all, as a matter of fact I took these at a cookout we had with family and close friends.  Ashlee is an amazing painter and one of my most treasured friends.  I have a couple of photos of her and her boyfriend, my baby brother (who isn’t a baby anymore!!) and his girlfriend, my twin baby brothers and some other candid photos from my life recently.

OH, funny story of the day!  Earlier today my little sister (who is 2 and terrible!) decided she was going to remove her pullup herself, she then started to sling it at my brother as he was going to take it from her and give her a new pullup.  When the slinging started…something brown came out of the diaper and directly at my brother.  Can you imagine?  It was absolutely hilarious!  Poor Robert.

Here’s some photos from my day:

This is Nate, Ashlee’s significant other:

This is Kayla, Robert’s girlfriend:

Here’s my Grandmother feeding one of my twin brothers, Skylar, mashed potatoes and corn on the cobb.  He looks much younger than he is, I promise!

This is Renee (my step-mother) and Peyton, the other twin!

And last, but not least…This is a photo from a week or so ago.  I had a cake smash session and my baby sister wanted to try too!  So here she is playing in cake with my grandmother, who actually had more fun than my sister! haha.

It’s been so long since I’ve written a personal blog.  It will probably be just as long until the next one as well, so hopefully this will suffice for a while!

Peace

Earlier today I had the pleasure to spend a couple of hours with Terell and his family.

Though it was only a short mini-session, I think I got some keepers!

Here’s a sneak peek:

my favorite:

I have a couple more, but I’ll have to add them later.  It’s late and I’m tired!

Yesterday I met with Frank and his family for a short session at their house.

Here’s a sneak peek:

Every time I told him to smile he made this face, too cute:

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with Cooper and his family.  I had so much fun getting to know them!

I’m looking forward to watching Cooper grow over the next year!

Here’s your sneak peek:

Today I had a VERY busy day! First I had a mini-session with Ashley, then I met with her family from East Tennessee for family photos!

Here’s a sneak peek:

And here’s some from Ashley’s mini-session:

Hey everyone!

Do you get family portraits taken regularly?   Every couple of months, I like to offer mini-sessions to the busy family.  Basically, I take less than an hour of your time, take some awesome posed and candid pictures and give you another treasured memory of you and your children.  This mini-session I’m organizing an Easter egg hunt for your children,  you can choose candy or real eggs, whichever you feel most comfortable with for them.

It’s much easier to capture toddlers and children of all ages when they’re comfortable and happy, and not fully aware that they’re being caught on camera!

Contact me for more details!
