Josie Easter 2015 | Middle Tennessee Child Photographer

I was glad to be able to offer Easter sessions again this year. I wasn't able to fit them into my schedule last year, and I really missed doing them. With Easter falling a little early on the calendar this year, I thought it would be wise to have them in the studio rather than outdoors as I have done in the past. With a high in the 40's last Saturday, I was glad I made that decision!

Josie was the first little one of the day. It's so neat to be able to watch these little ones grow up. I shot Josie's parent's wedding, and have been blessed to photograph Josie several times since her newborn sessions. She's growing up and is full of personality. She loved the baby chicks.

When I do themed mini-sessions, I always like to take a few non-themed shots. That way moms and dads can display them all year long.

I hope the Easter Bunny is good to Josie. I think he will be. :-) Happy Easter!

Ella, Mia, and Sophie | Middle Tennessee Photographer

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.

A Mother's Love | Tennessee Family Photographer

I just love mom and son photos. Maybe it's because I'm the mom of a of one of these creatures. It's the relationship.  The bond. When he reaches for my hand as we walk down the sidewalk.. When you  truly capture that relationship. Sigh. 

I think that is why I love these images so much. ​​

Grandmothers with their daughters and their daughter's daughters are welcome.  Moms with their teenage children.  Mommies with their babies. This is a time to celebrate all moms.

A Sister's Love | Middle Tennessee Child Baby Photographer

This seemed to be the day of big sisters. ​Paisley and Hudson were so sweet together.  I have photographed both of them separately, but this was the first time together.  

Hudson had gotten so big since his 3 week session.  I couldn't believe how well he could hold up his head.​

Sisters Spring Mini-sessions | Middle Tennessee Child Photographer

This year I decided to wait until after Easter to have Spring Mini-sessions.  With Easter being early this year, I was concerned the weather wouldn't be great. I think it was a good decision, because we turned out to have a lot of cool, wet weather during the month of March. However, the first weekend of April turned out to be gorgeous.  ​

I started the morning with Riley and her new baby sister, Reese. ​These images of them together just melt my heart.

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.
