SPP is Moving! | Hendersonville TN Portrait Photographer

Blogs that is ;) Yep, that's right! It's finally time to share my new look, and with a new look comes a new blog. So update your bookmarks and links. Here's the new address: www.shannonpaynephotography.com/blog

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!

The Lee Family | Nashville TN Family Photographer

I met up with Gabby, her husband, and her parent last year. This year it was his parents' turn. They were in town for the weekend, so we couldn't reschedule, and there was a chance of rain that afternoon. So of course it rained! Luckily, we dodged it long enough for our session!

What to Wear Spring Edition | Nashville TN Portrait Photographer

I can't believe how quickly spring has appeared. The flowers are blooming, the trees are budding, and the weather is already warm. I'm hoping it's here to stay. If you have a session coming up, you are probably digging through your closets or better yet... planning a shopping trip. While you are brainstorming, you can take a look at these spring What to Wear guides. I love the pops of color, and the understated way that they all coordinate. A huge thank you to Corina Nielsen for sharing your fabulous guides.

My favorite of all the looks. I love these colors!

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.

Before & After | Hendersonville TN Custom Portrait Photographer

I know I've been missing for the past week or so. We just returned home from a family vacation to Disney World! Now I've come home to another week of spring break, so there isn't much work getting done around here. While I'm trying to catch up, I thought I'd share a few before and afters from Sidney's session from a few weeks ago. At one time, I was petrified to share a straight out of camera (SOOC) shot, but now I love it. My goal is to get a well exposed shot initially, so that I can spend my editing time making an image pop rather than "fixing" it.

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.

Walker's 3 Year Old Session | Hendersonville TN Child Photographer

So... Mr. Walker had way more things in mind to do at the park other than taking pictures. He wanted to check out the trains, run and play, and basically avoid anything having to do with the camera. He had soooo much to say and made me laugh a gazillion times. I have to admit though, I questioned how successful this session would be (for a teeny, tiny second, I promise!) Then, I don't know how I did it, but I snuck off with that little guy and worked some kind of magic! After that, he was all smiles and giggles. I am loving this session from the colors to the perfectly coordinated outfits, everything turned out great. It didn't quite feel like spring that day, but it sure looks like it!

Mom brought along pinwheels from W's 3rd birthday party. They were so cute, and I'm so glad that she thought to include them in our session!

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!

Anna's Maternity Session | Nashville TN Maternity Photographer

I met Anna and her husband downtown on a beautiful February afternoon. She was glowing and looking gorgeous. Can you believe that she is only 2 weeks away from her due date? She has the most perfect baby bump! These two were so sweet and so excited to meet their new baby girl. I can't wait to meet her either!

Sidney's 4 Year Old Session | Nashville TN Child Photographer

I know it isn't a secret, and I'm sure I say it all the time... but I LOVE sessions with little girls! It is my only chance to let out my girly side in a house with all boys. I've been working on the sneaks from Sydney's 4 year old session during nap time today, and I'm hoping my little guy sleeps all afternoon! I don't think I'm going to be able to tear myself away from this session. Sydney was in the cutest outfit and was a joy to photograph. After several times rescheduling due to cold temps, we lucked out with a gorgeous morning. Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Now Booking - Beach Sessions 2012 | Destin FL Beach Session Photographer

It's my favorite time of the year, SPP is going to the beach! I am now booking beach sessions for June 2012. Please email me for dates and more details. I am taking a limited number of sessions, and a 50% deposit is due to hold your date.

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!
