For Natalie: Germantown, TN Family Photographer

While we were on vacation I opened up some free-time to do a few sessions. At first I was a little nervous, not having been at any of these locations and not knowing what the weather would be like. I have to say that with all the nerves, it ended up being an amazing experience. 

I got the sessions kicked off with these awesome folks. They used to live here and moved away last summer. I have taken their portraits since their youngest was a newborn and I love these folks. It was so nice to catch up with them, and I can't believe how grown they all are. Thanks Natalie for taking time from your vacation to find outfits and get haircuts. It's no easy thing, especially to do this all while you are away from home. You guys are the best! 

For April: Arlington, TN Family Photographer

The last few weeks have been full of summer in full swing. Lots of kids, lots of hitting the pool, and a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I had a nice break from photography for a few weeks, but have loved having the chance to play on the computer again and work with clients. It's good to work out my non-mom-brain.

These folks are not clients. They are bestie friends. I've known April since we were babies, we roomed in college together, and had our oldest kids days apart. She's the kind of girl who's quiet, but deadly. Fiercely loyal, though a little hard core when it comes working out and whole 30 things... Despite all those things, I'm so grateful to have her in my life. She's always there when I need her and she married a pretty cool dude, thus ensuring she'd have an awesome family. I love her dearly, and we love her family more. I love what I doing what I do when I can photograph people I know and love. It's the best.

Enjoy your peek. Check them out, y'all are pretty good looking.

But for real. Check them out.

For Nicole (& Mary Ann): Collierville, TN Family Photographer

This month has been crazy. Out of control with the busyness. Off the charts. So there hasn't been a lot of photography going on, because lets be honest, who's got the time to edit them! We get home from running and we crash hard. I wanted to give Nicole and Mary Ann a peek just so they knew I was working on their session, and also because I think they are turning out amazing. Way too many good shots to narrow it down.

I had the chance to shoot family photos for this lovely family two weeks back, before all the crazy started. I met the Nicole and crew a few years ago when she was pregnant with her sweet baby boy. It's nuts to think that it has been three years since that first get together. Crazy. I've done a few sessions with the entire crew and loved meeting Nicole's parents.

Grandparents are one of the gifts from heaven, I'm quite sure of it. It's a special bond and I love being able to capture the sweetness between the kids and the grandparents they love so much. It's beautiful.

Enjoy your peek ladies, thanks for always being so great to work with. I think y'all are fantastic.

For Alyssa: Collierville TN Couples Photographer

I'm in the home stretch of editing sessions from two weeks ago, and I thought I'd show some previews of what I've been working on. I just can't get over all the gorgeousness. I love working with kids. It's so much fun. But man, it's really nice just to have adults to capture. Almost like it's too easy, and I'm not working hard enough.

These shots turned out amazing! I love Chris and Alyssa. We met about a year ago, when she started working for my husbands office, and we think they are both awesome. They've also been Sunday School teachers for my almost-8-year-old, which pretty much means they've got a place secured in heaven, because he's a tough one sometimes. Sweet kid, but tough. I think the world of them both, and hope they enjoy their peek!

Thanks for being so patient guys!

For Stephani: Arlington, TN Family Photographer

Hi there blog. You've been abandoned as of late. It's mostly because October has been insanely busy. Right now alone, I've got 6 sessions and a wedding in the work in progress. It's been great! And kind of exhausting. In celebration of being 95% done with the sessions from three weeks ago, I thought I'd share a sneak peek for some of my favorite folks.

Enjoy your peek Snow family. I love all of your kids, but that Calvin has the potential for lady killing with his smolder. Nora is a beautiful big sister, and sweet Anderson was so easy to work with. I am in love with how all of your images turned out. Thanks for being so fun to hang with, and for your adorable babies. I think you guys are gorgeous.

For Lara & Ryan: Memphis, TN Family Photographer

I am so excited for it to be cooling off a little bit! It means that summer is almost over, and while I love summer time, we're back to hitting the books (hooray!) and NO more packing of pool bags (double hooray!) It's great to appreciate every season I think.

A few weeks ago, I got to capture these stunning folks and wanted to share a bit of their session. They ended up being some of my favorites for the month so far. I feel so honored to have seen Mr. Alex and now baby sister grow up. It really is the best to see old faces. It makes for a relaxed and fun time. I think the world of both of these parents too. It's fun to see how much they love their babies! Enough gushing about how great these folks are. I'll let the images speak for themselves! Thanks so much H family for being so photogenic and fun to be around!
