Ally

I really should be packing, but I have so many great sessions to post that I couldn't resist. Ally is 2 years old, and probably the most beautiful little girl that I have ever met. She was so sweet with such a fun little personality and thanks to her love for a Tinkerbell Pez dispenser, we got some great shots!

Did I mention that she is beautiful???

Carter

Carter is about the cutest 2 year old that I can imagine. I love this age. He has such a great personality and is so much fun to photograph. He was a little unsure of me at first, but within minutes, we had him totally forget about the camera. I can't believe this is my third time photographing him. He was one of my very first sessions last fall, and I am so glad that I've been able to watch him grow. He's about to be a big brother, and I can't wait for little sister's newborn session in just a few months!

Banks: 1 Year Session

Banks is my very first First Moments graduate. I first photographed him when he was 3 months old, and I was just starting out my photography business. I am so thankful for his mommy and daddy trusting me with his first year, and I had so much fun photographing him. We were really hoping that he would be standing for his 1 year session, but he wasn't quite ready yet. Although he wasn't standing, he was so much more interactive. I love all of the playing that we caught this time from peek-a-boo to patty cake. With those big blue eyes and huge grin, he's a doll!

Colton

I met Colton and his mommy at Shelby Farms for his 1 year old session. It took him a little bit to warm up to me, but once he did, we got some adorable expressions!

Fall Mini Sessions: Details!

I am so excited to announce the location of my Fall Mini Sessions in Memphis! They will be at Peterson Lake Nature Center, which is in the Collierville Greenbelt. There is a fabulous bridge, creek, wooden walkway, and trees. It's the perfect location to catch the first glimpse of the fall foliage. Unfortunately with the big move in less than a week, I won't be able to post some sample sessions, but I promise they will be great!

My Memphis sessions for Sept. and Oct. are already filled with my First Moments clients, so if you are interested in a fall session in Memphis this is the best way to do it. I will begin booking sessions on Sept. 6th. I can't wait to hear from you!

Hudson

Last time I met Hudson was at my Easter mini sessions. Now he's just celebrated his first birthday and was as happy as could be! I could have eaten him up!

Enjoy! This is my last sneak for the weekend. I'm closing my computer for the next 3 days!!!

Ok, I thought we'd go a little vintage on some of these. It started with the wheelbarrow ones, and I ended up liking the way they look with the barn also. What do you guys think? It's not my typical look, but I'm really liking it.

I love that wheelbarrow! It was a new discovery :)

Here's one with my regular coloring. I like the vivid colors, which is more my trademark style. But I may have to start switching things up :) Leave a comment and tell me what you think!

My first ever cake lover! He totally ignored the frosting and went for the cake!

The Cloud Brothers

What do you do when you have a session with 2 boys? You run, jump, play, bite, tickle, and whatever else you need to do to get good smiles. I've been so excited to meet these guys! Their mom supplies me with all of my bag tags, labels, gift enclosures, and birthday invitations from her business, My Little Monkeys Stationary. We've talked over email a million times but haven't met. So it was great finally getting together, and I had a little fun with her boys at the same time!
