Kirby Maternity Session

Beyond excited for John & Anna to meet their 
"little mister", Matthan in July! 

I was honored to do this maternity shoot for my sweet friends!





The "mustache" was  Anna's baby shower theme!  SO adorable! 




It's been a slightly challenging road to parenthood for this sweet couple, and I couldn't possibly be MORE excited for them to become parents.  They will be EXCELLENT ones! 




The color choices & props John & Anna provided were perfect! 

Loooooooove baby shoes!  These lil' loafers are so handsome! 




Soon you'll be holding that sweet baby boy!  I can't wait to hold him myself.  =) 

Congrats John & Anna!  

Ethan & his Grands!

Bradyn's buddy, Ethan, was visiting his sweet grandparents recently and they wanted a few snapshots of them together.  I was happy to oblige.  





Ethan has the sweetest smile! 





We had such fun conversation during this photo shoot.  Wales, killer sharks, & such.....living in the Cumberland river.  Who knew?????   ;) 






I adore boys!  They are energetic, yes, but also VERY imaginative which can be VERY entertaining.  






Thanks Mark, Linda & Ethan for choosing me to capture some sweet memories for you!  

I enjoyed this session!

The Nightingale Family--Down on the Farm


When Amy asked me if I could come to their farm near Hopkinsville, KY to take some family pictures I was SO excited! I absolutely love personalized shoots, and generally most people are more relaxed at their own home and in their own surroundings.  





Laura & her sweet pony.  They have such a sweet bond.  




Landon sitting on his {late} pappy's tractor.  He resembles his pappy SO much it's unreal.  






This handsome young man was just barely two when my husband I married almost 13 years ago, and Landon was a miniature groom in our wedding.  He was and still is, SO handsome! 





Love these two silbings!  They're practically grown, but they'll always be kids in my eyes.  Both were in my wedding, and are still such sweet kids! 





Curtis & Amy, the beautiful parents to Laura & Landon. 





Love this pose leaning against pappy's barn. 



Curtis is a firefighter, and works hard!  I love this pose.  


Thanks to the Nightingale family for allowing me to capture these sweet memories!  



Carter's Spring Shoot

This lil' man is a delight! This is my second year to photograph him near his birthday.  Can't believe he is 3!  Time flies when you're having fun!



This lil' guy had quite the obsession with the toy guitar!  I see music in his future.  





Sweet smile!  He is a handsome lil' guy! 





I "shot" him, and he "shot me".  ;) 








He is really good at "close ups".  ;)






Sweet boy is so handsome! 




Carter had a pirate themed  3rd birthday party, and I was more than happy to fulfill
his mom's request of taking a few "pirate themed" photos.  =) 





Happy 3rd birthday Carter!  Can't believe you're 3!!!  

Thanks Danny & Jamie for allowing me to capture these sweet memories of your 
handsome lil' man! 


Pirate Themed Shoot!!!


I love doing themed shoots for kids, it's just so much easier to get them to smile and 
"show out" when they're  "in character".  This themed shoot with my own lil' pirate
was a blast! 




He was SUPER in to character and I didn't have to pull 
"anything out of the hat" to make him smile. 





My dad has the best props, and I "raid" his stash often.  ;) 





Thanks lil' man for being such a cool pirate!  You're my favorite pirate EVER! 

Argh!!!! 

Stafford Family Spring Session

Enjoyed this vintage styled session in Greenback!





These "reds" are just simply gorgeous! 




Sweet smiles all around! 





That grin & those freckles can be irresistible.




Handsome lil' fella! 






Um.....Dad, start practicing with the shotgun.....
when the boys start coming around...you're going to need some 
SERIOUS skill! 






This lil' doll is sweet.  Inside & out! 






....and daddy's girl.  So maybe the boys should be AFRAID. 

Not dad.  =) 





Captured this moment after a kiss between mom & dad. 

Apparently the kids don't like to see that happen.  ;) 

They were still waiting for the "all clear" for them to open their eyes......







Thanks Stafford family for allowing me to capture these sweet moments! 

Loved your color scheme!
