Happy Valentine's Day - Hendersonville TN Children Photographer
Somehow, I never got around to photographing my own little loves for Valentine's Day. So instead, here's a sweet gift that will be given tomorrow. I love knowing that my pictures will make someone's day a little happier :) Happy Valentine's Day!

Something Else I'm Loving Right Now - Hendersonville TN Photographer
If you can't tell, I miss blogging sneak peaks right now. This snowy winter has left me with no sessions this week, so I get to clean my house, play with my little monsters, work on orders, and hang this fabulous new frame that my hubs BUILT! We were so in need of a picture of the two of us, and I thought this one was perfect. It just came in this week, and I couldn't wait to share it.

Something I am Loving Right Now - Hendersonville TN Photographer
My office! When we first moved, I was so excited to have an office. Between photos, orders, packaging, and paperwork, I felt like my photography business was taking over our old house. Now I have my own space, and it is soooo nice.
I thought I'd share a little story about the picture above my desk. It is from my 4 year old's newborn session. The story behind the picture is what brought me to the philosophy of my photography business.
When he was born, we received a free session to a local photographer. We had his pictures taken, and 2 weeks later I went back to view them. They sent me into a room, turned off the lights, played music, and handed me a box of tissues. I fell in love with all of the pictures. After the slideshow, they handed me a pricelist. The cheapest print was a 5x5 that cost $99. My jaw dropped and my heart started pounding, I knew there was no way that my husband would pay $99 for one picture the size of his hand.
I left the studio crying, not because of the beautiful pictures, but because I knew I would never have them. By then, my son was 4 weeks old, and it was too late to get more pictures taken.
Well, 10 months later, my fabulous husband surprised me on Mother's Day with this gallery wrap. He had the photographer put 4 pictures on it, so that I'd have 4 pictures instead of 1 big one. These are the only newborn pictures I have of my little guy, and I will cherish them forever. It took us another year to pick out the perfect frame, so it actually wasn't hung on the wall until he was 2!
When I started my business, I said that if or when I got good, no matter how good or busy I became, I would never charge so much for that to happen to a new mommy. I never want a momma to look at her pictures that I've taken of her child and cry because she can't afford the ones she wants. I do this because I love what I do, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

What's in a Name? Storyboard Preview
A few months ago, I posted my first "What's in a Name? Storyboard". Last week, Jackson's gallery wrap came in the mail. I was so excited to see it and love it so much, that I can't wait to make one for my boys. I can't wait to see what it looks like in little Jackson's room!

Noah: 3 Months - Nashville TN Baby Photographer
Meet Noah. He has the most fabulous hair, beautiful blue eyes, and what I like to call "squishy, puffy cheeks". He wasn't feeling his best the day of our session, but you sure wouldn't know it from these pics. I think it was a good thing though, otherwise I may have stayed and photographed him all day. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Mini Sessions 2011 - Hendersonville TN Child Photographer
I've just gotten started on some of my favorites from my Valentine's Mini Sessions in Nashville. We had a rare, yet GORGEOUS January day for our sessions. It was so much nicer that the 20 degree, snowy weather that I had for my 2010 sessions. I had some beautiful little girls as well. Here's a little sneak!
