my little friend

This little princess and I go way back.  The first time I photographed her, she was an itty bitty thing.  Now she’s three, and we’re pretty much BFF.  She lives in Memphis with her mom & dad, and occasionally they make their way over to Nashville for a visit.  I always enjoy catching up with them and hanging out for a little bit.  We met at “Dragon Park” a couple of weeks ago and had a very fun time together (if you can’t tell!) . . .

puppy love

I had a session with this family recently, and we decided to include their new puppy in the fun!

I hope you all have a great week!

Yes, I’m still alive . . .

. . . I’m just a bad, bad blogger.  Actually I’m still an okay blogger.  I’ve just been spending a lot of time HERE.  A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph this sweet boy again.  He’s ONE now, which is crazy.  Here are a few for mom & dad.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

oh. my. goodness.

If this isn’t cute, then I just don’t know what is.  Seriously.  Look how precious this little girl is . . . are you kidding me?!?!  Pinch me . . . my job just can’t be this much fun!  {I may have to borrow her for a day or two.}  Thank you, mom, for letting me come in and make myself at home.  It was just like having a playdate (complete with a tea party)!  I hope you love these as much as I do . . .

beautiful family + one very cute pooch

I like this family a lot & they are fellow Geckos!  I get to see these handsome boys walking down the halls at my boys’ school every now-and-then.  In fact the youngest one is my oldest one’s “book buddy” (which I didn’t even realize at the time of the session!).  We met up on a beautiful Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago, and it was so great to be outdoors on such a fabulous day.  As you can see, the leaves were gorgeous, and my “subjects” weren’t too shabby either!  I chose this image of the four of them together to showcase on the blog because I think it’s so “them.”  The youngest one being his silly self with a little hint of mischief in his eyes & the oldest one being a little too cool for all of this picture stuff (I can say that because I have one of each of those myself!).

Isn’t that dog the cutest???  He’s so tiny, too!  Thanks Davis family . . . it was fun!

we’ve got the spirit, yes we do . . .

. . . we’ve got the spirit, how ’bout you?

I was NOT a cheerleader in high school (never could even do a cartwheel).  But you can have all kinds of spirit, and this little guy was into everyone having the FALL spirit!  I had a great day with him and his family at Percy Warner Park.

If you’re a Fido regular, you might have seen the dad in there.  If you’re not a Fido regular, shame on you . . . you should be.  I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: BEST sweet potato fries in town – hands down!

Thanks, guys, for the opportunity to photograph your family!  And HAPPY BIRTHDAY this month to the kiddos!  Thanks for your patience . . . I’ll be in touch later this evening when your gallery all ready and online.

boys will be boys

How many times have I heard that?  But, it’s true.  They will.  And because I have two of my own, I’m perfectly fine with that!  These brothers were my last session in Memphis, and they were so funny.  They reminded me of my boys, and we had a good time.  I must admit that my favorite images are probably the last two.  I love how real-life they are.  Boys wrestle . . . and they love their mommies.  It’s just the way it is.  That last one melts my heart.  It was an outtake, and I know mom didn’t plan to be involved in the session.  I saw it out of the corner of my eye and clicked, and I’m so glad I did.  It’s precious.

I got all nostalgic editing this session because it brought back memories of when my boys were these ages {sniff, sniff}.  Between sessions and editing, I’m short on time these days.  I just thought I’d put a few sneak peeks up for their mama and daddy!  Thanks for the opportunity to photograph your sweet boys!

another memphis princess

This sweet girl was shy for about 3.5 seconds, and then it was like we were BFF.  At one point, she squealed, “This is fun!” (which is, of course, one of the biggest compliments I could ever receive!).  And let me tell you . . . this little lady is FAST.  To say that she gave me a run for my money would be an understatement!  But, I loved that she was having a good time, and I think these images will melt her mama’s heart.  {They did mine.}
