Anderson

Man, do I have some bloggy catching up to do! I'll start with sweet little Anderson, who had the first of his four "Year In the Life" sessions last week. Anderson's parents, Brian & Carrie, have an absolutely beautiful home and we started our session there in his super cute Sock Monkey themed nursery. How adorable! I always love to photograph new families, so I was excited to see that we had a perfectly cloudy day to shoot outdoors. I had no idea just how fun following my Year In the Life babies would be...I can't wait for our next playdate guys!

Backyard Family Photo

Ole' Hurricane Ike had me worried, but he actually brought the most perfect clouds for our backyard family photo session Sunday afternoon. We captured all sorts of casual family shots in Miss Eunice's beautiful backyard...even Tinkerbell, Miss Barbara's little dog, got in on the fun. Fall is just around the corner & that means it is time to start thinking about booking those family sessions that you've been putting off because of the Memphis heat. Call or email today to get one of the last September appointments or get on the calendar for October.

William & Caroline

I got to do something very fun over the weekend...I photographed William & Caroline, whom I have known since they were born. They are school aged, so we had a fun, relaxed photo session together to capture some precious images of them together in a casual setting. They are both so beautiful & extremely photogenic...I had the hardest time narrowing down my favorites from their session! I think I could easily pick out 6 or 7 more that I would love to share.

And for a little fun...

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!
