My Little Man

The Russell Family

Jodi and I know each other from years ago during the high school years, and we recently reconnected over facebook. When she asked me to photograph her family, I was thrilled! We spent a VERY hot afternoon at Shelby Farms, but I love the fun, natural feel that we got.

Aren't they so cute???

I love this photo with Aunt Jodi!

Happy First Birthday Maybree!

Lawson's BFF/future girlfriend, Maybree just celebrated her first birthday! This may possibly be the cutest party ever, I think the pictures say enough...

The clean up crew:

My 2 favorite 1 year olds!

Ephraim: Newborn Session

Ephraim was another one of my sweet, very well behaved May newborns. I fell in love with those pouty lips!

Love, love, love the hat that mom brought along!

I am absolutely in love with some of the shots from my newest newborn prop, but I must admit I am awful at getting babies positioned in it! I just haven't practiced enough, and I don't want to practice on a happy, sleepy baby and spoil the mood! So until I figure out the trick, I've got to make mom and dad a little nervous! I think this picture is worth it, though :)

One more of the hat, just because I loved it so much! If you have a newborn session coming up, you've got to check out www.etsy.com for an adorable knit hat. They make the perfect newborn photos!

Congrats Matt and Kaylani

Ok, wedding overload, so I wanted to include one last picture. Thanks again Matt and Kaylani! I wish you years of happiness!

Matt & Kaylani: Pre-Party

Matt & Kaylani: The Details

I just love this couple. They are completely, totally in love, and it just radiates off of them. Matt and Kaylani were married out of town and asked me to photograph their reception when they returned to Memphis. Kaylani, I am honored that you trusted me enough knowing that it was my first wedding, and I hope you are happy!!! By the way, I am not scheduling weddings now or probably any time soon. I felt a little more comfortable/prepared knowing that this was only a reception. Maybe one day down the road...

Since this is my very first wedding, I can not narrow down my choices. So I've decided to do these sneaks in parts as I edit. So my first sneak is of the details, which I must admit was one of my very favorite parts of this reception. I just loved the pink and black and all of the twinkling lights!

Also, a big thank you to Lindsey Bramlett for working as my second shooter! Thanks for your help and input!

At night...




The rings!
