Welcome Emerson!

When Sam married Krissy last June, he gained two great kids, Brennan and Drew, as part of his family. It was perfectly easy to see how much they immediately loved each other, and none of them knew the boys would soon have a sister, sweet Emerson!

They are so adorable together!

There's nothing like a newborn baby, and Emerson has already brought a lot of joy to her family and their friends. Ron and I are so glad to have you as friends Sam and Krissy! Congratulations to you and the boys on your beautiful new addition! We love her already!

Wes and Stacey's Engagement

Wes and Stacey asked us to go to Volunteer Landing, where they were engaged a year ago.

They were very affectionate and loving toward each other.

A trip to Market Square gave the couple (of UT seniors) a chance to show that they bleed orange.

Of course, we had to show off the ring!

I love this after-the-kiss moment. It was so sweet!

Wes and Stacey -- thanks for hiring us to shoot your engagement session! We hope your wedding is beautiful, and we wish you luck in your new careers following graduation!

The first look

If you recognize the bride and groom, these photos are from Jason and Jodi's wedding, which we photographed last summer. We have had several couples ask us the reason they should do a first look session prior to the wedding ceremony. Of course, it's not something all couples would want to do.

But, we feel like it offers the opportunity to capture some priceless expressions on both the bride and groom's faces ... something that is more difficult as they walk down the aisle, especially when there are movement constraints. When, you are walking down the aisle or standing in front of the congregation, so many things are going through your mind, least of all, the pictures.
First look sessions also allow us to shoot photos of the bride and groom together prior to the wedding. Now, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Whatever you decide ... to look or not ... have fun!

Maevis' First Year Session

Maevis' parents hired us to commemorate her first birthday, which was so much fun! We created some girlie settings to fit her adorable personality.

Needless to say, she loves balloons! How cute!

What a smile! We enjoyed hanging out with your family, and we loved seeing how Maevis has grown. She is a beautiful, little girl.

Christmas Mini Sessions

Ron and I were surrounded by some very cute kids during our Christmas Mini Sessions. We started out with a Santa-Claus-outfit-clad Hannah Kate, who seems to be saying, "I hope you've been good this year!"

Hannah Kate was full of adorable, little smiles.

Then, our little friend, Eli came to visit. He really loved playing with the giant candy cane!

You have to love Eli's full, rosy cheeks.

Madison was our third photo subject of the day, and she did a great job! Her dark purple dress was gorgeous.

She is turning into a lovely young lady.

Madeline was our last photo subject of the day. Her energy and laughter were inspiring.

We had so much fun with Madeline, we even made it snow a little.

Thanks to all of our friends who participated in our Christmas Mini Sessions. We had a blast. Merry Christmas to everyone!
