Sneak Peek

Walker Family, I am working on your pictures as we speak.....well, as I type and you read!
I hope to have them up with your slideshow later in the week.

Sweet Parker & Family

I finished this sweet family's pictures this weekend and am excited to write their full blog post and release their slideshow. I kept saying during the session, "He looks just like Carter." It amazes me how much Parker and Carter look alike. As I was editing them, I kept thinking the same thing. Parker's little face looks like you took Carter's face and shrunk it. :) These boys are such sweet big brothers. It was incredible to see them holding and loving on Parker. Nick & Teresa, I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites and your slideshow. Thanks again for letting me photograph your family.

I convinced Teresa they NEEDED a whole family shot....we even managed to get Mamaw in on it--see that one in the slideshow.

Sweet Baby Parker

Saturday I was able to meet sweet little Parker. Parker is the son of Teresa, a teacher friend from my Murfreesboro school, and the brother of Collin & Carter. You may remember these guys from our spring photo session. The week after that session, Carter joined my kindergarten class. I was so excited to get to meet the baby and to see them all again since I hadn't seen them since the beginning of summer break.

This is my buddy Carter. He is THE sweetest big brother!

Here are all three boys-Collin, Carter, and Parker.

The boys humored me for some feet shots!

My bud Carter and I after we had finished.

More to come with a slideshow soon (& I promise they aren't all black & white!)!

Maggie is One Month Old!

Here is Little Miss Maggie's full post. We took these pictures last Saturday--it was Maggie's first real photo shoot. She didn't know quite what to think about that. And for a baby who isn't interested in pacifiers, she sure wanted hers! "Nana" did a great job of swiping the paci and running, then running back and plugging her up. Enjoy a few of my favorites here and several more favorites in Maggie's One Month Slideshow.

"Nana" and Maggie--this is the beautiful dress that Martha made for her--notice the beautiful necklace that Tabetha made for Martha!

I LOVE this red antique fainting couch (it's stuffed with horse hair!). It's in Dean & Martha's guest room and was perfect for pictures.

This one above is quite possibly my favorite from the second half of the day.

This is what Maggie thought of the photo shoot by the time we were done~Why are you putting this long dress on me and putting me on a couch? And why is Mommy standing so far away and why does Nana keep taking my paci and why is Aunt Denise pointing that big black thing at me?!

A little self portrait in Maggie's room--I'm sure that after seeing the camera in front of my face all day she didn't know quite what to think of Aunt Denise.
Don't be worried, though, we had plenty of aunt-niece bonding time when we weren't taking pictures. And on Sunday we had a huge family get together where EVERYBODY wanted to hold Maggie---tons more pictures of course......those will come later. :)
For now, enjoy the slideshow and if you know anyone who wants their baby's picture made in an antique carriage, give me a call!

Ryder's Thank You Cards

In July, we made a visit to our dear friends, Cody & Kristy, at their new home in Columbia. They are expecting their first child, Ryder, at any minute. While we were there, we set up some pictures of their amazing dog with the stroller (no Ryder in there of course, since he was in Kristy's belly) to use as baby gift thank you notes. The notes have been sent out, so now I get to blog the pictures! (I didn't want to spoil the surprise.)

Aprilia the dog is amazing--she is a Boxer and is VERY smart......well, I think she is smart. Wesley thinks she's cool, but he might not call her smart. Anyhow, Aprilia was so good to pose with the stroller in several different ways so that we could get a few different ones to choose from. Enjoy these and have a laugh or two!

I think this is the one which convinces me that Aprilia should be a greeting card dog.


This is the one Kristy picked as her favorite. I do think it's pretty funny!

Please note: No animals were harmed in the making of these pictures. And YES, they are REAL pictures!

Maggie is One Month Old!

Wesley and I were so excited to spend the weekend with his family and our beautiful niece Maggie! She has grown so much since the last time we saw her. Saturday we went to Mark & Jana's home to take some pictures of their family. Here are just a few from the day.....more to come.

I LOVE this one---her little face is so precious!

Seeing Mark interact with Maggie is amazing--his whole face lights up when he has her in his arms.

Jana looks GREAT after just having a baby and is such a wonderful mom. Maggie is so blessed to have Mark & Jana as her parents.

After pictures at their home, we went to Wesley's parents' house (Nana & Papa) to take some pictures of Maggie in the beautiful dress Martha made her. She searched high and low for an antique carriage to use for these pictures and finally found one this week.
