Rhodes College Mini Sessions: Part 2 | Memphis TN Photographer

Here are a few more peeks of the cuteness I saw last week in Memphis.

Rhodes College Mini Sessions | Memphis TN Photographer

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on, but I took the weekend off to enjoy some family time. We grilled, played at the pool, and spent some great quality time together. I even managed to get some pictures of the boys, one in which I'm insanely proud! I can't wait to share it, but until then, here is my first sneak of my Rhodes Mini Sessions that I held in Memphis last week.

The Yopp Family | Hendersonville TN Family Photographer

This little family will always be special to me. They were my first official newborn session, and now a year and a half later, I'm still lucky enough to photograph their beautiful family. You might notice that I decided to process their session a little differently. I try to stay consistent with all of my sessions, but this one had a totally different feel. Mom's adorable headband and quilt inspired me to step out of my comfort zone, and I went with it. I wanted every image to have a softer, dreamy feel, and I think it really shows how much they love each other. Emily, I hope you like these, but if you don't, I edited them my regular way too :) Enjoy!

The Brownlee Family | Nashville TN Family Photographer

Miss J was the last of my First Moments babies turning one for my Memphis visit. She is getting so big and has such a great personality. I loved seeing her relationship with her big brothers. She's going to have some great brothers to watch over her. For her birthday pictures, her mom brought along the decorations from her birthday party. It was such a great way to personalize her 1 year old pics. Happy Birthday, Miss J!

Hunter | Nashville TN Child Photographer

Hunter is another one of my First Moments babies who had her last session this weekend. I love watching all of my little ones grow, and I feel like I get to know them so well over the year. So it's a little bittersweet when their package comes to an end. Hunter played hard to get with me this session, but it made for some really fun expressions. I just love this girl!

Eliza: 12 Month Session | Nashville TN Baby Photographer

I can't believe she is 1 already! It feels like yesterday that I was photographing her newborn session. Happy Birthday, Eliza!

Beach Mini Sessions | Destin FL Beach Photographer

I am so excited to announce these! If you are in the area, will be in the area, or know someone who will be there, I'd love for you to share this info or get in touch with me. This is a wonderful way to remember your vacation and get awesome family pictures. I'd love to hear from you! Please email if you have any questions or to book your session.

Surprise! | Hendersonville TN Family Photographer

I loved being a teacher, especially at the end of the school year. I'd look at all of my "babies" and think back on how much they had grown throughout the year, how much they had learned, and how well I got to know them. Then, I'd pass them on to their next teacher. I was, and still am, passionate about teaching. It's a career where you get to help so many children, and I love it.

Now, I'm photographing families, and although I may not spend as much time with them or teach them anything, I still get to watch them grow. I've made so many friends and have gotten to watch so many families grow. I love seeing my pictures in frames, on birth announcements, on Facebook pages, and even blogs. Now, I feel like I get to help families capture memories, and I love it even more.

That leads to an awesome surprise that I got to help out with several months ago. One of my very first families is having baby #2, and this is how they announced it to their family!

I was so excited to be a part of the secret and the announcement! Congrats "S" Family! I can't wait to meet your new addition!

Abel Newborn Session | Hendersonville TN Newborn Photographer

May is turning into newborn month, and I'm loving it. This little guy is going to be one in charge man one day. We had all of his blankets, hats, baskets, etc. picked out for his session, but he wanted nothing to do with them. He liked being wrapped up and left alone. So we went with the flow, let him have his way, and it worked!

Jon and Lesly | Hendersonville TN Photographer

I was in such a rush to get my April Mini Session sneak peeks up, that I didn't have a chance to share these. Since I don't do weddings, I rarely get a chance to photograph couples. My dear friend Lesly and her husband needed some updated pictures together when I did their family session, so I had fun with their couples pictures. They are so cute and have such a gorgeous family, I just love photographing them. Lesly, I don't think you know how much I miss you, but it's TONS!

Abigail | Hendersonville TN Newborn Photographer

After a week in Mexico, alone with my hubby, yes, just the 2 of us!!! I am back to work. We were completely "unplugged" for the week, so I'm a little behind and playing catch up. Here are a few more sneaks from a session that I had just before we left.

This little beauty is the newest addition to our neighborhood. Not only do I get to photograph her, but I get to see her almost daily, and even rock her to sleep like I did today. Her big sister is one of my little man's best buds, and I just can't wait to watch her grow up. Welcome to the neighborhood Abigail!

Abigail | Hendersonville TN Newborn Photographer

This beautiful baby was my last session before I left for vacation. I'll have more sneaks from this pretty girl's newborn session soon. Also if you are waiting for me to respond to an email or contact you about a May session, I am working on that today! Feel free to email me again to remind me if you haven't heard from me soon. Thanks!

Happy 1st Birthday Ramsey! | Nashville TN Baby Photographer

I met Ramsey when he was just 3 months old. He was the first baby that I photographed when I moved to Nashville, and his family had just moved to the area too. I can't believe that he is 1 already. He is just as adorable as ever, and I'm so glad that I could help photograph as they celebrated. Happy Birthday cute boy!
