Newborn Carson! {Lifestyle Family Photography Johnson City Tennessee}

I had the wonderful opportunity last week to go document Baby Carson's first day!
Sweet Cameron had had enough of hospital time and had to go home before I got there. I can't wait until their next session so I can see what a good big brother he is!

Travis & Katy, congratulations on your sweet baby! Enjoy your slideshow!

The Sneed Family {Cleveland, Tennessee, Lifestyle Family Photography}

I love capturing real life. You all know this. I love it. I love it because it's real. The things you never want to forget of your child are how much he loves balls/bats/Imagination Movers, how your little one waves, how he loves to snuggle up with his "beaver."

Sometimes there might be other things on this list and sometimes little ones don't cooperate! Mr. Owen was having one of those not cooperating days last week when I went to visit. Thankfully, I document LIFE. An almost two year old not cooperating is LIFE. :) All O wanted to do was play with balls. In fact, he carried two bats at one time-you can hit more balls with two bats, right?! Even though a sweet daddy and a sly photographer hid a ball or two trying to get him interested in the things he normally likes, he just wanted the balls! I am thankful for families (and little boys) who go with the flow and just have fun!

This session will be the one forever remembered as "That time Owen only wanted to play balls!" OR "The first day of Owen's ball obsession" (that's yet to be decided).

I hope you enjoy a slice of life straight from the Sneedos.

*This was my first session with my new camera! I was super pumped with the results and hope you will enjoy them as well!

After hanging out at their house for awhile, we ran over to Andy's mom's house to see her garden. Andy's dad (Owen) always had a big garden. This is the first garden they have had since he passed away several years ago. We thought it would be neat to get some pictures of Owen walking in "Owen's Garden."

These warm my heart.

Wow, look at THAT ball and bat! Oh wait, maybe it's a cucumber and tomato.....

One of my favorites.

This boy was starting to get sleepy!

Enjoy your slideshow, friends! We love you!

New Camera Fun

I got a new camera this Friday and am super excited to share some images I captured over the weekend. For now, enjoy a few of Miss Maggie (my niece) and a little video of her "singing."

Timothy Ryan

Wesley & I were so excited to get to visit with several friends during our Middle Tennessee trip for my birthday/Father's Day. We were excited to meet little Timothy Ryan on Friday evening! We had a super quick photo session, went to eat at Demo's (YUUUUMMMM!) with other friends, then went back to visit with Dave & Christy before driving to my parents' house. Whew. What a long day, but it was worth it!

Mikey was so excited to show off what he called "My Baby!"
The hat Timothy is wearing here was knitted by his Nana.

Christy loves his little swirl in his hair. It is pretty cute.

I asked Mikey what he liked about Timothy. His immediate response, "HIS HAT!" Christy then told Mikey to tell me what Timothy did that day that he liked. Mikey informed me that Timothy said his name, "He just said Mikey, not my Michael name." :) He is very advanced for a two day old baby!
I knitted the hat in the picture below for Timothy. I was afraid it wasn't going to fit! It worked for these pictures, but I'm not sure it will fit much longer.

The Boys! :)

Sweet baby :)

Christy & Timothy were fresh home from the hospital.
They got home around 4:30-we got there around 6:30.

Dave, Christy, Mikey, & Timothy-we LOVE you guys!
Enjoy your slideshow!

Sweet Baby Boy! {Lifestyle Family Photographer Tennessee}

Wesley and I drove to Middle Tennessee for my birthday/Father's Day weekend. We made a stop in Murfreesboro first to visit our friends, eat at Demo's, and meet a new sweet baby boy!

THIS is what a Big Brother looks like! Mikey is pretty much SUPER PUMPED! Can you tell?!
Meet his sweet little brother, Timothy.

Someone who really, really loves Timothy made him this hat (ahem.....that'd be me!).
I LOVE this picture and had to share this tonight (well, this morning...) before I go to bed.

PROUD Big Brother! More to come soon!

Cameron & Family {Johnson City, TN, Lifestyle Family Photography}

I had a great time hanging out with Cameron and his family last week. Cameron turned 2 years old yesterday and his baby brother is expected in just about a month! I can't wait to meet Baby Carson! For now, enjoy Mr. Cameron and his "Green John Deere" fun.

Fun fishing :)

We went for a walk in their neighborhood to fish and enjoy the waterfall. It was gorgeous!

Super fun times hanging out in Cameron's Big Boy Room! This is a new favorite image for me.

Then, we went in Baby Carson's nursery to read some books. Cam had this book about tractors and trucks and he could name every kind: excavator, dump truck, Green John Deere, garbage truck, etc.

I LOVE this one of Katy & Cameron.

Riding in his car to CVS!

I love Fridge Phonics!

I LOVE this one of Cam & Travis. So sweet!

Thanks for letting me hang out with your family! I can't wait to meet Baby Carson. For now, enjoy your slideshow.

Sneak Peek-Cameron

It's the last day of school-WHOO HOO! :) In celebration (and because I got up at 5:30 am to spend a few 5th Anniversary minutes with Wesley before he left for the day), here are a few images for Katy and Travis. I can't wait to finish the rest and share with you! Happy Friday!

Fishing with Daddy-gotta catch supper!

Loving on Baby Carson in Mommy's belly!
I am sure Wesley would like Cam to come mow our yard!
(I just realized I used an ! at the end of every sentence-it's the last day of school-I'm super pumped!!!!)

Gregory Family Sneak Peek {Tennessee Lifestyle Family Photography}

This past weekend Wesley & I drove to Kentucky to spend time with our friends Matthew & Morgan (pictures from that coming soon!). On our way home, we stopped by to see our other friends Brian & Amanda. We haven't seen Brian & Amanda since before we moved to East Tennessee. That's a long time! We had fun hanging out with the Gregorys and they even fed us lunch!
This is Amanda, Ethan, & little Logan.

Poor Amanda (& Brian) had a rough day yesterday. Austin (below) choked on a jaw breaker and Amanda had to do the Heimlech Maneuver on him. Then, Logan's finger got smashed in a door and he had to be taken to the Children's Hospital to have surgery on it this morning! YIKES! The joys of having little boys, I guess.

Amanda is outnumbered by a LOT-even the pets are boys!

Brian & Amanda, hopefully there will be no more excitement coming your way (except for more pictures!) for awhile!
