Getting to share in the happiest moments of my clients' lives is one of the things I love most about my job. Last year, I was blessed to witness the marriage of John and Andrea. A year later, I got to spend the morning with them and their previous baby girl, There aren't words to describe how precious she is. Here are the images to prove it.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Guess who is coming to the studio? Yep, the big guy in the red suit. We are so excited!
There is really no better way to visit with Santa. Your little one gets 20 minutes one-on-one time with Santa. We all know how busy he is, so this is a real treat! The schedule is shown below. He will only be here for two afternoons so make sure you book your session soon!

FAST Piranhas 2012 | Middle Tennessee Sports Photographer
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of photographing my daughters' swim team. This is the second year in the row I have done the team photos. This year is a kind of tough year for our team. Our competition pool has been out of service for almost a year now, so we had to make arrangements to use the pool at our local wellness center. We are thankful to have somewhere to practice, but we cannot host any home meets this season. Keep your fingers crossed for us that things will change before next summer.
So I said all of that to explain a little about the setting for our photos. Generally the team photo is done with the pool in the background, and then the individual shots are done in the pool. That really wasn't an option this year because the pool is small, indoors and has terrible lighting. I decided to take my backdrop and studio lighting and do something different. We had a lot of fun with these. I had some of the kids give me their best intimidating faces. Here are a few of my favorites.
And here is a look at this year's Memory Mate.
For those photographers out there who like to create their own products rather than using templates, I created this one using product by Gina Miller. You can find her creations at www.the-lilypad.com
Last the FAST Piranhas won their first meet of the season. What a great way to start the season. I bet it's just the beginning of another great season.
I will be offering these posters for purchase to our swimmers. Also, if there is interest, I will offer a make up day for individual shots in the studio.
Hope you enjoyed these as much as I have!
Beautiful Hannah | Middle Tennessee Studio Photographer
When I look at Hannah I see beauty that goes far deeper than her beautiful smile. Hannah is one of those rare people who actually radiates beauty. She just completed her first year of college and this summer is embarking on a journey that I would have never been brave enough to even consider at her age.
Are you ready? She will be spending the summer in the Philippines. Is she going with a group from her church you ask? The answer is no. She is part of a team of three girls. Two other girls she does not know, but will be the extent of her American counterparts I believe. She will be living in an orphage working 6 days a week to care for 40-55 children.
She will not have a cell phone.
She will have some computer time each week, so she has created a blog to keep her family and friends updated. That is why we had a shoot for some new images. She wanted a current image(s) to use for her blog.
So Hannah and I found ourselves in my studio the morning after her 19th birthday. She even brought me a piece of birthday cake. We chatted, laughed, and caught up.
I cannot wait to hear all about it when she gets back. I know I will be checking her blog often. This young woman is going to make changes in this world. Love her so much.
Karsyn at 3 | Middle Tennessee Child Photographer
Miss Karsyn. Another one of my babies that is growing up too fast! Three short years ago I went to her house a few weeks after she was born for her newborn session. Now here she is a big girl!
I love this next one.
Then we had an outfit change. I think this next one is my favorite. My favorite even though by this point, she was pretty much over the picture-taking. Some candy was about all that would get this shot for me. ;-)
Sometimes you just have to go with it. What's she looking at? She's playing with a couple of her brother's action figures. What ever it takes is what I say!
It was so good to see Karsyn again. I love watching my babies grow.
Harper is 2 | Fayetteville Tennessee Child Photographer
This little girl will forever hold a special place in my heart. In case you don't remember, I was there when she came into the world.
I will never forget that day. Now here she is 2 years later. Just as cute as ever.
I have to thank my assistant for this shoot. Mr. Stewart. Harper thought he was very funny!
Here is Miss Harper's video in case you can't get enough of her sweetness.
Happy birthday, Harper! Love you!
