{ Daddy’s girl }

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

“Come on in boy sit on down

And tell me about yourself

So you like my daughter do you now?

Yeah we think she’s something else

She’s her daddy’s girl

Her momma’s world

She deserves respect

That’s what she’ll get

Ain’t it son?

Hey y’all run along and have some fun

I’ll see you when you get back

Bet I’ll be up all night

Still cleanin’ this gun”

Cleaning This Gun lyrics by Rodney Atkins

(sentiment shared by Jerry, father of Amber- the beauty on my blog today;)

I know that I am further proving my friend, Nikki, right. She thinks that I ONLY know beautiful children. What can I say??? I LOVE my job;)

{ Meet Tucker- future explorer }

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Tucker today. What a cutie! He has the creamiest complexion with some of the brightest blue eyes that I have ever seen. He is a mover, though, and will keep you on your toes. I had to think and move fast to keep up with him. He wanted to explore the yard, leaves, sticks, and a kitty that came into my yard. Don’t worry, Grandma, I have plenty of pictures of Tucker’s sweet face. I just couldn’t resist sharing his adventures, too!

Such a sweet smile!

This little horse is an antique in their family.

This was as close as he could get to the kitty.

See the kitty to the left at the bottom of the tree?

This is my frontyard right now. the white camellias are blooming and dropping their petals beautifully. Contact me if you want to schedule a holiday session. They won’t be around very much longer.

{ Jada’s Creations }

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

I am way overdue for this vendor spotlight! Michelle at Jada’s Creations (here) and (here) made me this super cute and ultra comfortable personalized camera strap. After using it for a few weeks, I can tell you that I love, love, LOVE it! It is so much more cooler than the generic Nikon strap that was supplied with my oh-so-cool camera;) (Love my Nikon, not it’s strap.)

I have known Michelle and her hubby, Joey, since high school. They make an awesome couple and team. But, I digress. Yes, I tend to get off subject quite often. I blame my ADD. haha! There I go again:P Anyway, over at Jada’s Creations, Michelle offers so much more than just these pretty camera straps. She has to-die-for purses, blankets, crib bumpers, pillows, crayon holders, key chains, and so much more. If you don’t see what you want, be sure to put in a special request. Michelle gives you the choice of material, thread, and font. Everything she makes is custom just for you! You just can’t beat that;) Go now, take a look!

“To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.” ~Barbara Bush

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Today is the beginning of a very busy couple of weeks for me. This morning was a precious baby and this afternoon was a sweet family. You won’t find me complaining! This is what I LOVE to do;) I will have plenty of sessions for your blogging pleasure.

Back to the current task… a new sneak peek. I haven’t seen Mom in a long time (another high school buddy,) but it didn’t take long to catch up. We had more family fun on the farm and tell Hunter that he IS “the man!”

lol! Hope you had fun because I know that I did. Lots more to come!

Here comes Santa Clause, here come Santa Clause…

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

This morning, I had a play date with the super sweet AND handsome Cullen (which you will remember from here and here.) Omgosh has he grown! He has Daddy’s eyes, but Mommy’s beautiful mouth. He also has the cutest little dimple in his chin. Although he was playing hard to get with his smiles, I think he was adorable all the same;)

“I see Santa! I see Santa! There he is!”

{ Glass Pendant }

Friday, November 20th, 2009

This is another new product that I will be offering… glass pendants. So cute! I had a little trouble with the product image, but they are actually very clear and distinct:) I will be offering a variety of “necklaces.” The ball chain you see pictured is just one choice. I will also having sterling chains and ribbon chokers. I am contemplating making Swarovski crystal necklaces to go along with them. The first two pics are from recent sessions. The last pic is a surprise for my daughters. I am taking them to see New Moon today and I thought they would LOVE the Team Jacob and Team Edward images!

* NEW & oh-so-cute! *

Friday, November 13th, 2009

>I am in the process of packing and getting ready to head out the door. I am so excited to shoot a wedding for a friend from high school at the BEAUTIFUL Opryland Hotel. What I didn’t pay attention to was… this puts me getting on a plane on Friday the 13th! Ugh! Lots of prayers!
Anyway, the first of my new product lines came in today and I wanted to share them with you before I left. I will be offering a full line of photographic purses and totes. Omgosh! they are even cuter than I thought they would be:) The colors are oh-so-vivid. The quality is excellent and the price is reasonable;) These would be just perfect for Christmas gifts. Moms will LOVE a shot of their babies or a whole family picture to proudly display. Get with me if you are interested. Take care and have a great weekend!

>"Rocky Top you’ll always be home sweet home to me."

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

This past weekend, I was able to go “home” for a long weekend. Have I ever told you how much I LOVE Tennessee??? I do! If I had my choice, that’s where we would be:) I only managed to snag a few pics because my camera was the last thing on my mind. We had our 5 plus my sister’s 3 running through Nana’s house all weekend. Can you say Excedrin? haha. Just kidding. It was a blast. I have always said “the more the merrier.” If any of you have any kids out there you don’t want anymore, just drop’em on my doorstep;)

Here is Taylin trying to escape the madness and acting like a recluse teenager. lol

This is one of my twins, Jesse, before he ran off. I couldn’t get Jake to sit still. Don’t you just love their plaid with the adorable overalls?!?

My beautiful niece, Sommer, at Opryland Hotel. I am shooting a wedding there this weekend for a friend from high school. Yep, I get to go back home again:)

My beautiful sister, Shelia, not really wanting to pose for me. She is my baby sister, but she isn’t a teenager even though she still looks like one:P That is her daughter, Sommer, pictured above.

Another one of Shelia. Yep, she got all the style in the family;)
