The Baker Family

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am for this sweet couple! 

Their second child was born with complications with his heart.  When he was born the doctors gave him hardly any hope.  After many months in the hospital, multiple surgeries, and a heart transplant it's very clear that Emery is doing wonderful! 

  They are a testimony of true faithfulness and endurance.  God has MANY blessings stored up for this sweet couple!

Loved seeing these boys together for {my} first time!  I visited Emery in the hospital a few times, but had never seen the two together.  It was a precious moment!

 Eli was such a trooper while his mom was away spending time with Emery
at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.
I know he's SO excited to have them both home!

Handsome fella'!

I got to capture some surprise giggles & smiles during the session and surprisingly got LOTS and LOTS of hugs from Eli!

We're so incredibly grateful for Emery's NEW heart!

I loved his beads of courage and his wub-a-nub.  I've never really seen him without the wub-a-nub!  He loooooves it!

A sweet-sweet moment with his mom.  Love these two!


His parents are BIG LSU fans they're hoping their love rubs off on Emery......
to that I say "Geaux tigers"!!

I can say that...ONLY because the Volunteers & Tigers are not scheduled to play this season...whew!!

He is the cutest lil' LSU fan I ever did see!

I'm so exited for this sweet family!

April, Jason, Eli & Emery, thank you so much for allowing me to capture this amazing time in your lives!

Baby Knox

I had the pleasure of doing a newborn shoot

with a sweet friend's new baby last week. 

Oh.My.Wooooooord...

He was pure sugar. 

 {He is an angel baby} 

It's not ironic that this sweet baby boy was born at UT hospital, and his name, Knox, 

is part of the word "Knoxville" (University of Tennessee's city!!!)  because out of all

the devout UT fan's I know, his dad is THE most devout...and trueEST" of TRUE fans! 

So yes, the following photograph was SO fitting!  

{...and one of my absolute favs!!!} 

During the session Knox's papaw (in Mississippi) called just to sing "Rocky Top" to him. 

Knox was alert & listening!  It was absolutely adorable! 

I loved it! =)

Knox was a joy to work with & did so good during the shoot. 

He snoozed {diaperless} to some good 'ole gospel/choir music for over an hour.  

I guess that's every Christian baby's dream.........

:o) 

 {Love that hair!!!} 

His nursery has a retro/vintage sports theme.  I was really excited to capture some priceless images with different sports themed props.  

He woke up long enough for me to capture this sweet image.  He is barely over two weeks old, and already has great head control.  

Now if we can just teach him to catch a football.  

:o) 

Thanks Samantha & Brandon for allowing me to capture this sweet, memorable yet 

sleepless time in your lives.
