The "K" family goes urban

Hi there,
I am just going to post one sneak peek here of my Urban shoot from Sunday morning. The best way to do downtown Nashville is a Sunday morning, early. The streets were almost empty, allowing us to do whatever we wanted. The "K" family was so fun and spontaneous and we had a great time tromping around the streets. So much so that I posted 11 pics to my facebook page for a sneak peek! I rarely get to go urban so I was thrilled when they agreed to give it a try. It is so much fun experimenting with the light and textures you can find there. I am short on time as I have 2 galleries waiting to be edited now, so skip on over to my facebook page to see the rest of this huge sneak peek. I really wish it was easier to get everything posted and resized here, but it just takes forever! Become a fan while you are there so you can stay connected to my posts all the time :)

Always a sucker for a brown eyed beauty

Miss M turns one!

Another of my sweet babies turned one last week and came to see me today for her official one year shoot. I have had the honor of documenting her first year, my favorite part of the job. I have one more in the group from last year coming up and then my one year old rush is over. So, then I can just look forward to the 2 year old rush next year :) Miss "M" is absolutely beautiful and has the most amazing blue eyes. I always have to include some close ups of those eyes! She was a trooper this morning b/c she was very tired. She pulled it together for us quite a few times and dried her tears and got back into it. I could not have asked for more. The gallery is going to be huge b/c she did such a good job and I couldn't stand cutting out more of the cuteness :) Here is my little friend "M"...

Welcoming sweet baby "L"

I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this little bundle every since Mom got pregnant 9 months ago! I have photographed her big sister since she was just a wee newborn, so I was beyond excited when I heard they were expecting another sweet angel. "L" was a really good baby and slept well for our session. We got to do lots of stuff and got some great shots, one of which is one of my new all time favorites. Considering I take thousands of pictures this is a pretty big honor! Baby "L" looks exactly like her big sister except with a little darker hair. This is good news b/c "MM" is a little cutey, so "L" will end up being a cutey as well. Here are the sneak peeks. Please feel free to leave a comment, I love to know what you think!

This is my fav! I think it is the earthy feel and colors that really draws me in.

"T" turns one

Another baby plan comes to a close. You have been seeing Miss "T"'s face every 3 months, so I am sure you recognize her by now. The best thing about last August and September is I had a huge rush of newborns and now sadly they are all turning 1. This is great of course, but I just enjoy seeing them regularly and watching all the new things they do each session. I am sure you have noticed the abundance or 1 year old shoots here lately, so lots of bitter sweet sessions for me. "T" has a special spot of being only 1 of 2 babies (that I can recall) that didn't cry a single tear during their 12 month shoot. 12 monthers are a notoriously tricky age b/c if they are happy we are great but if they are not there is often not much you can do to turn it around. She was very smiley and fun and gave me lots of great images. She is also the best cake smasher in town! No hesitation on her part. I am not sure if I will have any more sessions in the field this year, I sure hope so b/c I am not ready to say goodbye yet! I LOVE it sooooooo much. Thankfully I have used it a ton this year but thinking of it turning all brown makes me sad. Anywho, onto the sneak peeks...

I am one!


Pretty smile and she is trying out my new (old) chair I picked up at a yard sale


You know I love feet!


Drumming on the presents was funny


Look at her go

R turns one, happy and sad...

Another "grow with me" baby is graduating their plan year. I am soooo happy to have gotten to see her every 3 months the last year but selfishly sad I don't get to keep seeing her every 3 months too! 12 month olds are always a funny age. The faces and silly poses they make always keep me laughing. I felt extra special because "R" stood up unassisted for the first time from sitting to standing while I was shooting and I got to capture it! How cool is that??? She was so funny because she did not want to get dirty from the cake at all. So our cake smash ended up being a light tasting. The cake was in such good shape I think Mom and Dad got to take it home and eat it :) So, here is the amazingly beautiful R in all her chubby cuteness...Don't be shy to leave a comment for her Mom and Dad!



"Hey you, did you just see me stand up all by myself?"

Has there ever been a cuter thigh?
