Oh my goodness I love these girls. Sophie was a baby the first year we did Christmas photos. Now the fact that Sophie runs to me and gives me a big hug any time I see her, well that makes me very, very happy. They are three of the most beautiful girls ever, and I love that they can be themselves around me. Their mom and dad are pretty special to me, too.
The Franks Family | Middle Tennessee Family Photographer
This year I went a little different direction with Christmas Card Mini-sessions. I used a location I haven't used for Christmas minis before, but since I haven't been shooting much this year, I didn't go with a Christmas theme. I wanted this to just be an opportunity for some of those clients who have been with me from the start to have an opportunity to get some family images this year.
All of the families from this year's sessions I consider my friends. The Franks are one of those families.
Studio Christmas Sessions | Tennessee Child Photographer
We have worked so hard on this year's Santa set, that we decided to offer some last-minute studio Christmas sessions. Since the kiddos are out of school this week for Thanksgiving break, we thought this would be the perfect time.
This will be the last day that I will be shooting for 2013. The next few weeks will be busy with editing, designing cards, and processing orders, so it doesn't leave me time to do any sessions. So this is it for holiday portraits this year.
Sessions are 20 minutes and will take place in the studio.
Schedule is as follows:
- 2:00 - Ogle
- 2:20 - Fugate
- 2:40
- 3:00 - Preston

Sweetie Pie Bartley | Fayetteville Tennessee Baby Photographer
It's the week to celebrate love so it's only appropriate to share another Valentine Mini-session. Really, we should celebrate love every week of the year, and I think Bartley's parents will love these all year long. Bartley is now 10 months old. I can't believe how much he as grown just since his visit with Santa in the studio a couple months ago. I just love his curls. Babies change so much in that first year of life, and I love a mommy who sees how important it is to capture each of those stages. Bartley is now standing on this own and since I saw him I bet he has taken a step or two or 20!
I couldn't resist sharing this very last one. Proof that even the best subjects have moments. :-)
Sweetheart Cori | Fayetteville Tennessee Child Photographer
Earlier this week I had Valentine Mini-sessions. Cori's mom took advantage of the opportunity to have an 18-month session of her sweetheart. I will admit that this one started out a little rocky. However, with the aid of my very helpful 10-year-old assistant Miss Molly and a bag full of m&m's we ended up with several precious images. I love this sweet girl and am so blessed to get to capture her at each sweet stage.
Valentine Mini Sessions | Fayetteville Tennessee Child Photographer
Valentine Mini-sessions this Monday, February 4th!!

These are high resolution files and will come with a print release. You may add additional images to you CD for $20 each. Also included in the package are 2 5x7 prints.
I'm not going over the top with the Valentine theme because I want these to be images you enjoy all year long.

They will be appropriate for both boys and girls.

Sisters | Fayetteville Middle Tennessee Child Photographer
Oh how I love these girls! it's always fun when we get together. They are sisters in every sense of the word. Their mom gets an A+ on their outfits. Even though these were Christmas sessions, I loved that she went with non-traditional colors. These just make me happy! Hope they brighten up this cold, rainy day for you!
The Dixon Family | Middle Tennessee Family Photographer
Playing a little catch up in sharing recent sessions. I had several before Christmas that I didn't have the opportunity to share. Today I am sharing my session with my dear friends, the Dixons. Dawn is my running partner. We hold each other accountable. I don't know what I would do without our time together. We share a lot on our runs together, vent sometimes, are each others sounding boards and supporters. I love her and am so thankful that our friendship has grown over these morning runs. I miss her when life gets too busy and we can't make time to run.
I love her boys and love watching them grow. Russ, well, he's ok, too. Just a really sweet family all around.
Family Christmas | Fayetteville Tennessee Family Photographer
We had the perfect day for our outdoor Christmas mini-sessions. Really, we could not have asked for a better day. I started the morning with one of my favorite families. Matt and Christi used to babysit our kiddos and now they have two of their own. Love, love, love this sweet family.
A Visit with Santa | Fayetteville Tennessee Child Photographer
With wee ones you never know what reaction you are going to get when they see Santa. When they like the Man in the Red Suit it's great. When they love him, you get images like these.
Christmas Decorating With Your Images | Fayetteville Tennessee Photographer
You may have seen the images of my kiddos that I have displayed in our family room in The Organic Bloom frames.
They make me so happy. I just love them. I also love all the Santa images I have of the kids from over the years. I always display them at Christmas time around the house, but this year I did some extra special. I ordered myself a 16x24 enlargement of my favorite image from their Santa visit this year and displayed it with some of my other favorites from years past.
I got them all framed and on the wall last night. Now this makes me very happy! I smile every time I walk in the room and see them.
So get those old Christmas photos out of the drawer and put them out where you can enjoy them! They hold good memories, so display them so you will be reminded of them every day. They are sure to make you smile just like I'm smiling right now as I look at mine here. Merry Christmas!
Santa Mini Sessions 2012 | Fayetteville Tennessee Photographer
I have lots and lots of Santa sessions to share. These first ones were shot at the end of October, but I wanted to save them until December to share. These three have been seen frequently on my website. Rachel, Caleb and Kate. Love these kiddos. So glad to have them visit Santa with me this year.
I hope they get everything on their list!
Santa Mini-Sessions 2012 - Bartley | Fayetteville Tennessee Baby Photographer
Santa took two days out of his busy schedule this year to visit with us in the studio. Some little ones like Bartley were meeting Santa for the very first time. They were immediately friends. I can tell this is the beginning of a long friendship.
I bet it's going to be fun at Bartley's house on Christmas morning!
Confessions of a Prop Junkie | Fayetteville Tennessee Child Photographer
It is so nice have your work recognized by your peers. I was delighted to have my work featured two weeks in a row on Confessions of a Prop Junkie.
Last week's Be Inspired Theme was sleds and this image from Santa sessions last year was chosen out of the many entries.
This week's Be Inspired Theme is Santa, It had to be a "real" Santa. I may have had an unfair advantage since I'm friends with THE real Santa.
I had a big smile on my face when I visited their website yesterday and saw these sweet faces. I'm such a lucky girl to get to experience these magical moments with the little ones. Now if Santa would just let me borrow a couple of his elves to help me get all my work done...
