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! 

Amanda & Labre--SENIORS!!!

 
 I loooooooove styled sessions.....

and best friends with absolutely GREAT personalities!

I wanted to totally "lift" these dresses from these girls...  ;)

I adore the mountains in the background. 

I miss east Tennessee......*sigh*

Ms. Labre & Amanda, you "brought it" to this session! 

I didn't even feel like I was working!

Congrats!!!!!!

Way to go Amanda!!

Labre made these adorable headpieces to match their vintage attire. 

Talented...yes!

.....and they're off!

Thank you Labre & Amanda for allowing me to capture this SWWEEEEET

time in your lives!  So happy for you both! 

Brayden's 8 month session

Loved meeting this adorable little guy and his parents! 

His sweet grin + the tongue = pure SUGAR!! 

Those sweet...sweet eyes......

Childhood is so innocent & pure....

...and also sometimes VERY serious.  =)  

Love this expression filled lil' guy!  We had a great session!

Thank you Joe & Jessica for allowing me to capture these memories for you!!
