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!

The Chambers Family

A lovely {cool} evening was spent with this sweet-sweet family a few weeks ago. 

 Mom & her pretty girls!! 

{Love their hats!!!!} 

Such a gorgeous family! 

Sweet Ella wasn't "feeling it", but mom has the "just keep smiling" thing DOWN!  =) 

Oh the joys of toddler hood!  

Thanks Jessica & family for allowing me to capture your family at this FUN time! 

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.  

The Coffey Family

The Coffey's are such a lovely family!  

This mama seriously has some major fashionability about her.  

{I love the colors she chose for their family shoot!} 

These two people are dear family friends.  

Tennessee just isn't the same without them.  

We've had some fun times & made lots of unforgettable memories
together. 

Thanks for letting me capture your gorgeous family

Shane & Sonja!  

Miss you all! 

The Drugmand's

This is a sweet-sweet family that just welcomed their firstborn into the world. 

Logan Matthew is such a sweet lil' guy & so blessed with two amazing parents! 

Aren't they precious??  

There is some serious mommy-son love going on here! 

I love the first time parent's expressions.  They are seriously "taken" by their lil' man! 

(Logan is just pure "chill"!!) 

Oh! I can  guarantee these two are going to be inseparable VERY soon! 

Logan & his daddy = two peas in a pod.

This lil guy is seriously wrapped around his mama's finger.

This session totally brought back a FLOOD of memories from when my lil' man
was just a "newbie".  Oh the late, sleepless nights, and those early morning feedings....
...this too shall pass.

(and it will happen faster than you could ever imagine!!)

I'm so excited to follow this lil' guy's life & photograph him as he grows.

Thanks to the sweet new family of three for the fun conversations & letting me
capture your VERY first official family photos!

Love you guys!!!! 

Macy~Class of 2012

Loved shooting this session! 

All day it was cloudy and I prayed that it wouldn't rain.  

{Thankfully it didn't.} 

 Macy's smile brought some sunshine to an otherwise cloudy day. 

Such a beautiful young lady, inside & out! 

{Her mom & I had to beak out in "Pomp & Circumstance" a couple of times

during this session.}

Lovely.  

So excited about Macy's future!  =) 

It's bright. 

Thanks Macy for bringing some sunshine to the session & allowing me to capture

this amazing season in your life! 

Carter Turns 2!!

I've decided.....kids honestly grow just too fast!!

{Seems like yesterday this lil' guy was just a newborn.}

Carter was SO much fun to photograph right before his second birthday!

His mom was concerned about him not sitting still & posing, 

but honestly he did uh-mazing. 

During our 1 hour session we hunted bugs, played ball, & shot spider webs. 

He is so inquisitive & such a handsome lil' guy! 

He is also VERY active & likes a lot of things as you can very well see...

I honestly had a ball during this photography session!! 

Such a "BIG BOY"!!!

...and he honestly is a "real life" super hero! 

He and my lil' guy are two of a kind! 

I've never seen a two-year-old so "down" with Super hero mannerisms.  

He's got  MAD "spider web shooting" skills!!! 

Thank you Carter & your sweet mama, Jamie, for the laughs provided

during this fun session!!!
