Baby Farah

I am lucky enough to know some wonderful photographers that are willing to be open and honest about their businesses. There are some people who see newer photographers as "stepping on their toes" but thank goodness they are not all like that!

The wonderful Jen Turner with Jen Turner Photography let me tag along on her newborn shoot last weekend just so I could get a few more pointers. Boy am I glad I did! Baby Farah was the perfect little model! I just sat back and watched Jen do her thing, but she let me play with my newest lens, (my newest love:) and take some shots with her. I could not have been happier with the outcome!

Here are some of my favorite shots from the day! Thanks so much Jen for letting me tag along! I had a blast!

Shelton Family

I was super excited to spend the afternoon with Brittnye, Jared, and Carter...but if I'm being honest, I was the most excited about spending it with Carter! My son Lawson and Carter have been best buds their whole lives, so I know Carter is a trip. All it took was for me to make one funny noise and I had him rolling! I couldn't help but crack up with him! Of course, I love Britt and Jared too, but Carter is my favorite:) He pretty much thinks I'm crazy, this worked to my benefit when I was trying to get him to smile. I can't wait to hang out with this family again! (for pictures and play dates!)

Here are a few of my favorites:

Norah Elizabeth - Newborn

A few weeks ago I got to spend some quality time with Norah Elizabeth. She is so sweet and gave me a chance to snuggle her! Norah is also very strong willed! She was so wide awake 90% of the time we were taking pictures! I mean, we waited her out...and waited...and just when we thought she was out, she would be wide eyed and bushy tailed! But I had so much fun getting to spend a fun afternoon with this sweet girl! I can't wait to take her 3 month pictures!

Here are a few of my favorites from her session:

The Huffaman Family

I was able to enjoy a session with the Huffman family a few weeks ago! Life has been so crazy with life that I haven't been able to stop long enough to blog about it! It was so much fun! I know Kristin because she photographed a wedding I was in, so (no pressure:) she asked me to take her family photos! Avery was a bundle of energy! I only wish I could have half as much energy as he does! Since his mom is a photographer, you could only imagine that he was not all about someone ELSE taking his pictures! I was just trying to get as many family pictures as possible with Avery actually sitting for them! I was worried, but I ended up with some great shots from the day! They were so much fun and I am so lucky to have been able to give them family pictures! Here are a few of my favorites:

Disney 2011

So, aside from our kitchen remodel, we also had a vacation in there! Oh my goodness, it was the best thing ever! Everyone said Lawson was too young to understand or really enjoy it, but let me tell you, this kid LOVED it! It was well worth it. He loved the characters and ran up to them like they were his own. The characters loved him too, they let him just sink down on them like big stuffed animals. It was really magical, not just what the catch phrase is, it's true. Lawson still talks about it to this day! I can't wait to go back. He recognized all things Disney now. I love my kid and love experiencing new things with him. Josh and I could not have asked for a better trip, or son for that matter:) I know this is my photography blog, but hey, I took pictures! So, if you are interested, here ya go!

The Kelleys!

I have been a little out of the loop with my blog! OOPS! I have been crazy busy with Lawson, having our home remodeled, and a vacation! But I am back in the swing of normal life!

On September 10, 2011 Becca and Stephen were married in Murfreesboro! It was such a great day! I think things started out a little bit behind, but all that matters is that they said "I do" in a great way! It was a beautiful day/night for a wedding! The wedding itself was simple yet elegant. Josh was the DJ of the wedding as well as the reception, and that always makes my job so much easier! Ok, enough with the talk of the beautiful day. I want to wish Becca and Stephen nothing but the best in their many years together!











There is so many more pictures that I could post, but there might not be enough room! Becca and Stephen, I hope you enjoyed how I captured your special day and remember me in the future:)

Becca and Stephen

I had the pleasure of photographing Becca and Stephen a couple of weeks ago in Columbia. They are a super sweet couple and great to work with! They were great with letting me try whatever I wanted and Becca quickly discovered my love for doorways:) I also found some great spots in Columbia that I can't wait to use again! I will be taking Becca's bridal portraits next week at Oakland Mansion in Murfreesboro, so I MIGHT be able to show you a sneak peek with just the beautiful bride showing! Becca and Stephen will be getting married on September 10, that is not that far away and I am so excited! This will be the second wedding that my husband and I will be doing together, so that makes their wedding extra special! Keep looking for updates on this great couple! But for now, here is a sneak peek from their engagement shoot:
