Baby K is two months old!

When I went to take pictures for Baby K, I had prepared myself for the worst.  Her mom contacted me to take her pictures when she was right around 2 months.  Prior to that, her mom said it would not have been possible.  It is like that with some babies.  Some are peaceful and sleep the whole times, some scream the whole time, and some pee on you...hazards of the job, I guess.  So I had prepared myself for a scream fest followed by Aleve. 

What I got instead was possibly the best behaved baby I have ever been honored to photograph.  She was a doll...so happy I couldn't believe it!  She was a joy to behold!   We did this photo shoot in Baby K's own nursery because mom wanted her photographed with her room and things around her...and let me tell you...this was one SWOON-worthy nursery!  It looked like something straight out of the pages of a baby magazine (or Pinterest)!  Can you say LOVE???  Lovely baby, lovely nursery...sigh :)


Check out her happy little crib...love it! 




The sheep wall art was made for the nursery...I just loved it!  What a precious room for a precious baby girl!



Such a sweet face on a sleepy baby girl! 



I love her sweet little smile here!




Ahhh...I love babies and Baby K was a joy to photograph!  I can't wait to see her change as she grows!

A Spring Family Photo Session Centennial Park Nashville

As days get longer and warmer and all thoughts turn to spring, thought I would share this family photo session I did a couple years back at Centennial Park in Nashville.  If you live in the Nashville area, the gardens at Centennial Park make a beautiful backdrop for pictures of children and families.  You can see how stunning the tulips were!  Just be aware that if you go on a weekend, you need to pack your patience.  I have done family photo sessions there on the weekends and had to wait out other families, couples headed to prom, and couples getting married all in the same day!  It is worth it, though!

Real Wedding: Andrea and Aaron's Yacht Wedding Part 4 of 4

Today we are wrapping up coverage of Andrea and Aaron's Knoxville, TN Wedding and Reception on the Volunteer Princess Yacht in Knoxville.  I caught this cute candid of them while they were settling in for good food and drink at the reception...so sweet!

A little while later we snuck down the back steps of the yacht so the two lovebirds could have a little privacy for some post-ceremony couple portraits on the back deck of the yacht.  You may remember for my first blog on this wedding that Andrea and Aaron opted to see each other before the ceremony.  That was great because they were able to get some nice photos with downtown Knoxville and the Crowne Plaza Downtown Knoxville as the backdrops.  However, we wanted to be sure to get some portraits of them on the yacht.

A cruise down the river sure made a beautiful background for this wedding!

When we docked back in Knoxville, Andrea did a change of clothes before heading out to the limo that was waiting for them...

Aren't they a cute couple?  Have a great life together, Andrea and Aaron!  You both deserve it!

Real Wedding: Andrea and Aaron's Yacht Wedding in Knoxville Part 2 of 4

Today I have a continuation of some of the portaits we did of Andrea and Aaron prior to their ceremony and reception on the Volunteer Princess Yacht in Downtown Knoxville.  We started out at the Crowne Plaza Downtown Knoxville which is where the bride got ready and all the guests stayed. 

This was in the lobby of the Crowne Plaza Downtown Knoxville.  They have a beautiful lobby and grand staircase and the staff was very cooperative about letting us utilize this space.

After a few pictures inside, we went on a walk outside and utilized the urban setting and gorgeous weather!
