I will no longer be updating this page, so if you'd like to see my most recent sessions like this one, then go check it out!

Porter 8 Month Session | Gallatin TN Baby Photographer

Porter is a rockstar baby. Really. This is my second time photographing him, and he has been awesome both times. I hope I'm not jinxing myself for his 1 year session, but I had to brag on him. Between him, his parents, and his adorable brother, I don't feel like I'm working at all.

Audrey's 1 Year Old Session | Hendersonville TN Baby and Child Photographer

It's here! It's here! It may not feel like it everyday, but spring is here! As soon as I start seeing flowers blooming, I'm a happy girl. Add in a sweet birthday girl, and I'm over the moon. Miss Audrey was such a good girl for our session. As soon as the sun started to set, it got windy and chilly and she called an end to the session, but no before I got these precious images.

The Neill Family 6 Month Session | Nashville TN Baby Photographer

Meet Miss M, my newest First Moments baby. We're getting started a little late with her package, because fall was so busy. But I am so excited to watch her grow! We've been rescheduling for about a month because of the cold, and I am so glad we waited. The day of her session was absolutely perfect, and she was an angel!

The Murdock Family - 1 Year Session | Hendersonville TN Baby and Family Photographer

The Murdocks and I have really bad luck with sessions and rain. We've had to reschedule 2 sessions because of rain, and this session even had rain in the forecast. Luckily, it held off and was rather warm for February. I'm so glad we had to wait a few weeks, because it gave Miss K time to learn how to do this...

Oh my goodness, she is too cute! She was in such a good mood.

Channing 3 Month Session | Hendersonville TN Baby Photographer

These baby girls lately are giving me a major case of baby fever. Oh and, this sweet girl has 2 older brothers. Another family with proof that you CAN have a girl after 2 boys! Channing was an angel for our session. I had a great morning playing with her and chatting with her momma. Who wouldn't love her, just look at this face!

Celia 3 Month Session | Hendersonville TN Baby Photographer

Sweet Celia was about as cooperative as a 3.5 month old could be. She just smiled and cooed at us all morning. Not to mention those big bright eyes, gorgeous eyelashes, and full head of hair. Oh, and she's a girl, so you know I was in heaven! Her mommy and I had a room full of goodies to choose from for her session. Here's a peek at just some of my favorites. Mommy goes back to work this week, and I'm hoping these will put a smile on her face in the morning :)

Turner 6 Month Session | Nashville TN Baby Photographer

I've been so excited to meet back up with baby Turner, and I was even more excited when I discovered it would be 65 degrees the day of our session. The thing that I forget is that a 6 month old baby outside for the first time is way more mesmerized by dirt, leaves, and grass than by me. So he was in a very serious mood for much of our session, but that made those few little smiles even more special.

Some of my favorite images where from Mom making him smile in between locations.

Big sister, C, was a HUGE help as always, but it was all over when we went into the grass and leaves. No amount of singing, dancing, tickling, or toy would get that boy to look at us. I think Mom has a summer of playing outside in the dirt ahead of her!

The Bynum Family 6 Month Session | Hendersonville TN Baby Photographer

This sweet boy is as giggly and happy as can be. He had me cracking up at our session with his precious squeals. I LOVE photographing 6 month olds. It's the best age ever. We caught some really sweet family moments this time that I love. I can't wait to meet back up with you in the spring B Family!

My favorite

T's 1 Year Session | Hendersonville TN Baby Photographer

I look forward to my sessions with this family so much. I'm sure I've said it before, but they really are the sweetest family ever. I didn't share this story last time, because our last session was at my mini sessions. But... Dad said the funniest thing when he saw me photographing the other kiddos. He said, "She talks to everyone like that? I thought she only talked to us like that." Yep, I admit, I may squeal and get a little high pitched during a photo session :) That's just me having fun though! Anyway, back to Little Man T. He has grown so much in his first year. He was walking for us this time. I love those little cautious steps, when his hands stay in the air just in case. And those eyelashes, oh, I love them!

Mashburn 1 Year Session | Hendersonville TN Baby and Child Photographer

I am so glad that my dates worked out to photograph Miss M's 1 year session. We ended up staying inside because it was so cold out, and I'm really glad we did. Her little outfits matched her home perfectly. And... I got to see my photographs on their walls! I don't get to go to my clients' homes too often, but when I do I sure do love seeing their pictures hanging!

Enjoy! She was all smiles and giggles. I LOVE those big eyes!
