truest of true

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.~unknown

remember me when I was small

Sometimes just one sneak peek isn't enough ;)

I love how tiny and precious Miss C is in the arms of her sister. It goes so quickly.

Wonder

"Be aware of wonder.”
~Robert Fulghum

I adore this boy! It was so so hard to narrow his sneak peek down to just this one.

I loved seeing him interact with his surroundings and his complete and totally joy and wonder at the world around him. He’s such a bright eyed curious child and I had the best time at our session watching him discover everything he could. Thanks so much for sharing your sweet boy with me this afternoon.

I’ll be in touch soon with your gallery.

The grey skies finally cleared up

enough for me to be able to capture this sweet family! They have been very patient with the weather.

These parents have such a loving and easy way with their precious son it was a pleasure to work with them. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek & I will be touch as soon as your gallery is ready.

The best conversations with mothers always take place in silence, when only the heart speaks. ~Carrie Latet

this mornings session included lots of football! This little football fan is one of my favorite 3 year olds around Nashville. Thanks so much for the fun session and all the tackle lessons. I will be in touch soon about your gallery.

sweetest little farm boy ever

really truly I think it's true! Today I had the pleasure to meet this happy little man and his family. Could he be any more the gentleman farmer in that b&w shot? Love those cheeks and dimples too.

Enjoy your sneak peek - I will be in touch when your gallery is ready.

there are days

That I completely utterly enjoy working. This is one of them as I sit here working on getting proofs for a gallery this is another shot from the family below.

Completely blows me away how sweet this family is - this moment? I get the feeling from just spending just over an hour with them that this IS their life - not just for my camera. It is and I love that.

paper airplanes

...So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
cause I'm leavin on a jet plane
Don't know when Ill be back again...

sometimes once is not enough

“I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.”

~Shel Silverstein

Had to share one more. Love the lashes and giggles.

Happy growing up!

Love it or hate it (I am neutral, it was a gift!) the children’s book _Love you Forever_ was a big part of my son’s babyhood. He loved to hear that story over and over along with _Where the Wild Things Are_

Another big part of his babyhood were a pair of tiny overall’s. I was trying to save this shot until next month when he turns 20. You read that right – twenty. Twenty seems so much older.

He’s in the process of moving out – into an actual house and that struck me today so here it is.

I guess I need to go check my ladder…just kidding I am scared of heights and could never climb it!

Happy growing up! I will love you forever.

cutie pie

I had to call this sweet little boy a cutie pie because he just is

Thank you so much for sharing that very hot Saturday with me - I am so glad it did not rain us out again.

This is just a little sneak peek to tide you over, we got some sweet sweet shots of your precious boy and I can't wait to be able to share your gallery with you as soon as it's ready.

Thanks again for all the fun!

~yum~ What’s not to love about these sweet perfect little baby cheeks?
Little Miss A is 6 months now and growing quickly. I just loved her sweetness, her family is just so blessed with this little girl.
