valentine minis_ 2013_web.jpg

For the first time ever I am including images on CD in a package! You can expect 5-10 images in your online gallery. Choose your 5 favorite for you CD. 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. The setup will be as pictured in the sample images, but I do plan to add a fabric banner in Valentine colors. I would suggest reds, blacks or pinks for these sessions. They will be appropriate for both boys and girls.

Call or email me to schedule your appointment. They will be scheduled every 20 minutes beginning and 1:00 with the last session at 5:00.

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.

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...

Prom 2012 - Lilia & Zack | Middle Tennessee Senior Photographer

Last but not least is Lilia and Zack. Lilia was stunning in her golden dress, and I have to say that Zack's tux may have been my favorite of the night. I'm not usually one for a white tuxedo, but he had this whole John Travolta/Bee Gees thing going.  In a good way! My assistant, Anna Catherine, and I loved it!

If you want Zack's look visit Images on the square in Fayetteville.  Flowers are from The Flower House.

This is the last of prom for this year.  I hope all my couples had as much fun as I did and had a night they will always remember.  Thanks again to everyone who chose me as their prom photographer this year.  I am already looking forward to next year!

Prom 2012 - Ryleigh & Coty | Middle Tennessee Senior Photographer

Prom! I am not joking when I say that as a photographer these are my favorite mini-sessions of the year. I just love seeing the girls and guys dressed to the nines and so excited about the night.  Everyone is all smiles.  I LOVE it!  

This year I chose the courtyard of the Lincoln County Museum as the location for mini-sessions.  I watched the weather all day, and was concerned about an hour before the first session was scheduled.  the sky was very dark, but the weather held out.  It ended up being just perfect.

First up were Ryleigh and Coty.

Coty looked smashing.

And Ryleigh?  Well the words Greek Goddess come to mind.

Both Ryleigh's dress and Coty's tuxedo are from Images Dance and Formal Wear.

Over the next week I will be sharing images from each of my sessions so check back soon!

Lily and Luke | Middle Tennessee Child Photographer

Luke and Lily. They always make me smile. I was so glad when their mom called me about scheduling a spring mini session. 

Miss Lily is such a sweetheart.  She has such a gentle spirit.  Just a sweet, sweet girl.

Luke is one of those little ones that I could just eat up. So stinkin' cute.  He was so funny with the baby chicks.

Lily has a nuturing touch. She's so patient with Luke and very mothering. She reminds me of my Molly.  I loved watching them together.

Here is their sweet slideshow.

I can't wait until next time I get to photograph them.  Next time they will have a new playmate. :-)

Anna Urban Mini-Sessions | Fayetteville Tennessee Teen Photographer

Anna recently turned 16 and her mom thought she needed some photos to mark the milestone.  I couldn't agree more! I wish more moms celebrated their old children's years like they do when their kiddos were small.  There is no reason to wait until their senior year.  Every year is special! 

Now back to Anna's shoot.  She chose the cutest dress, and I just loved her shoes.  The skirt of her dress was just right for a little motion when the breeze caught it.  I think this first one if my favorite.

I also like this one.

And a close-up.

That's it for the urban minis.  I've been busy in the studio lately, so next up I will share some of those sessions. I'm having lots of fun! Have a great weekend!
