Nathan

Last week I had a my first photo session with Nathan, my newest "Year In the Life" baby. I really am honored to be able to spend the entire first year photographing these little ones as they grow & capturing their personalities as they develop...awesome! Nathan's mom & dad are already great parents...Dad even gave up his lunch hour to slip into some of the shots. They are also big MS State fans, so we had some fun with maroon & bulldogs at our shoot as well.

Meet Grayson

WARNING! Viewing these images may induce baby fever! Meet Grayson, aka "Prince Charming." It was just a few short months ago that I photographed Kathryn & Dawson just before their first son arrived and recently I had the privilege of photographing him. He was so good for his photos...he was relaxed & sleepy when I wanted him to be sleepy & wide eyed when I wanted to capture him awake. And remember the beautiful rocking chair from Kathryn's maternity session...you know I just had to snap some shots of him there (again). Kathryn & Dawson are phenomenal new parents...so happy & relaxed. It was an honor to capture this precious family together.





I would love to compare this photo to his 4D ultrasound images.











Chris & Shayla

Shayla had such a refreshingly relaxed attitude during her beautiful, but extremely humid bridal portrait session, that I could not wait to photograph her wedding. It was beautiful as well! We had a few obstacles thrown our way trying to get the most beautiful settings for our shots, (one of which was Memphis in August!) but everyone was so great & accomodated my every whim. Best wishes, Chris & Shayla, as you start a wonderful life together!

Bridal Portrait

I have been patiently waiting to post these photos of Shayla's bridal portrait session & I'm excited to finally show them off! This photo session was done in June, but the wedding was not until August, so I've held off until today to post my favorites. Shayla (& her mom) were such troopers as we trapsed all over the Botanic Gardens in the sultry heat to get these beautiful shots. Isn't she stunning?!? I'll be posting the wedding images soon, so check back in.


This is my favorite! I got a huge 24x30 print of this one framed for display.


This is another great one. This is the one Shayla chose for her portrait...lovely!

Cody Part 2

So remember cute Cody from last week? Well, I finished his split photo session last week & wanted to share a few of my favorites from the shots we got at his home. His mom has great taste & Cody has a vibrant, fun play area that we spent some time in playing, reading, snacking & watching Curious George together. Just before I left I gave Cody (with Mom's permission, of course) a huge sucker & snapped a few shots of Cody trying to handle the monster treat. What fun!
