Julia: 8 Months - Hendersonville TN Baby Photographer

I know this cutie's mommy has been dying to see some sneaks. She wasn't up for giving us too many smiles, but I think she's a beauty either way!

Kate: Newborn Session - Hendersonville TN Newborn Photographer

Sessions like this one are what makes me so happy to be a photographer. I've known Kate's parents for a long time now. Her dad and I went to middle school and high school together, and we all went to the same college. So I was really excited to see them become parents. Kate was a perfect baby for our session and was by far the happiest newborn I've photographed. I caught tons of smiles from her, and those beautiful, pouty lips definitely gave me some baby fever :)

I love this one - our last picture of our session. Miss Kate was letting us know that she was finished.

Julia: 10 Months - Hendersonville TN Baby Photographer

When I realized that I had 4 sessions in a row with baby girls, I went a little crazy getting new fabrics along with making headbands and even a blanket. I think this momma of boys was letting her girl side out :) I buy tons of stuff off of www.etsy.com, which I highly recommend checking out if you have a newborn session scheduled. But I didn't have enough time to order and have them shipped, so I thought I'd get crafty. I love what I made and couldn't wait to try everything out.

Last time I met up with Miss Julia, we could barely get her to crack a smile. This time, she was so animated. I loved all of her expressions. I can't wait to include her brothers in our next session.

Eliza - Hendersonville TN Baby Photographer

Sweet Eliza has been such an easy baby to photograph, and she didn't let us down for our 3rd session either. This girl was literally all smiles and giggles. I can't believe she'll be one next time I see her!

The Jordan Family - Nashville TN Photographer

I think it was meant to snow for my session with this family. We had to cancel our first session because of snow, and there was still snow on the ground when we finally got to meet up. I love how girly everything turned out. Miss "L" was such a sweet baby and gave us lots of smiles. Her pictures with her parents are too sweet. You can really see how much they love her.

The Lowry Family: 12 Month Session - Memphis, TN Photographer

It seems like I always fall in love with my clients, and each session is always my new favorite. Which is definitely a good thing! But it is especially true for this little guy. I can't believe that this is my last session in his First Moments package. He has been such a joy to photograph. I was a little nervous about this session. It was FREEZING outside. Really... it was the morning before it snowed in Memphis, and I knew we would be working indoors. Indoors, with a 12 month old, and a walking/running 12 month old at that??? I wasn't so sure, but like usual, he exceeded our expectations and was all smiles! Thank you, Lowry family, for allowing me to photograph his first year. It has been great!

Ethan: 6 Month Session - Hendersonville TN Baby Photographer

The last time I saw Ethan, he was a sleepy, snuggly newborn. Now he's sitting and playing. A few months ago, I decided to limit my January sessions to inside locations. It was a difficult decision, since I normally shoot outdoors in natural light. I am so glad I did, though. The day of Ethan's session was windy and freezing. It was fun doing something a little different and just watching him play in his element. We did decide to brave the cold for a few outdoor pictures, and Ethan loved it.
