Paige is here! (Southeast Missouri Newborn Photography)
February 21, 2012
I’m so happy to introduce you today to my newest cousin, little Paige! I visited her for the first time a few weeks ago (making her about 2 weeks old here) on a trip back to my home town in Missouri and just could not help myself – I mean really, could you? She got a little mad at me since we had to change her clothes, but got much happier when her momma stepped in to comfort her. She is a doll and I can’t wait for my next visit!
Enjoy!

Kat's Nashville headshots!
February 13, 2012
Kat is currently a student at Vanderbilt (which is where her photos were taken) and just wrote a book! Yes, a book. Something I’m not so sure I could ever do. Her book is called What’s Left of Me. It’s a Young Adult book and will be published by HarperCollins on September 18, 2012. I’m so excited for her! If you’d like to know more you can find out all the details on Kat’s blog.
Enjoy,

The Gavilo Family – Nashville Family Photography
February 8, 2012
I’m finding that recently the number of photo sessions I do with extended family are increasing, and I am loving it! I think it’s such a great idea to include grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins (the list could go on and on) in your photo session, so you have professional photos with your whole family. It was easy to see that this family loves spending lots of time together, and it came through in the photos. And grandpa knew all kinds of tricks to help make the kids laugh, which made my job so easy! I really recommend doing this with your family!
Thanks for looking,

An update on Don Draper!
January 30, 2012
Today’s blog post is such a fun one for me, since I get to share what’s happened with our last foster puppy Don Draper. We got the little guy in early December when he was just 8 pounds. It’s amazing how much things change in just a few months. He is tall and those little ears are completely standing up making him look like a cross between a whippet and a german sheperd (at least to me).
He is now Bronx and is in a great forever home with Christopher & Michelle! He’s got it made! They live so close to The Ellington Ag Center we headed over there for his new family session. He took a few minutes for him to warm back up to me, but before long we were playing fetch and he was running (and running fast!) all over the place. And, as you can see, he still loves sticks.
Thanks again Christopher and Michelle for giving him such a good home!

The Stayman Family (Nashville Family Photography)
January 20, 2012
I feel so fortunate to have been able to do this session over the Christmas holidays with the Stayman family. And, to be honest, it has made me want to do a similar type of session with my family in Missouri! (yes, photographers are often the last to get their photos done). Getting to photograph multiple generations at once is always alot of fun and doing it in a longer session allows for more time to get tons of cute candids along with the more posed shots.
Sarah’s family rented a loft in downtown Nashville for the holidays that had amazing light and was such a fun spot to do this session in. This post is going to be a long one, but there were just too many images I wanted to include, so making it smaller was really impossible
Thanks for looking!

Colin is 4 months! (nashville child photography)
January 18, 2012
It seems like yesterday when I was doing Colin’s newborn photos in his beautiful nursery. He’s changed so much in four months and is such a cute little guy – I just love his hair! You will too, trust me. He was great during his session and full of big smiles!
Thanks for looking!

Henley & Charley (Nashville children’s photography)
January 16, 2012
Okay, first a confession – I let myself get behind on my blogging in the rush of the holiday season. Fortunately, that means today we all get to be reminded of the beautiful colors of late fall and forget all about these gray winter days, even if just for a few minutes.
These two beautiful sisters were absolutely great to work with. We did their session at one of my favorite locations, the Ellington Ag Center, which I love for it’s versatility and general awesomeness. This was the second time I got to work with Henley and the first for little Charley. I’d say the girls favorite part of the day was looking at the horses – which is always a favorite with little ones.
And seriously, have you seen cuter Halloween costumes?
Thanks for looking!

The Koerber family! (Southeast Missouri Family Photography)
January 10, 2012
I have known Ashley all her life, our families used to vacation together growing up, and I was so excited to get to photograph her sweet family while I was in Missouri over the holidays. We had some great weather for outdoor shots in December and little Ashtin warmed up to it quickly, and wanted to take photos all over the location! Thanks Ashley, Justin and Ashtin
Here’s a preview!

Little Miss Mia (Southeast Missouri Child Photography)
January 9, 2012
So, as you may remember Mia and I are pretty tight. I’ve been photographing her for her whole life & my blog has many, many posts on her. Mia’s mom and I have known each other for our whole lives (seriously, since Kindergarten) and so it is always fun for me to get to work with Mia.
Because of all this Mia and I can usually do her sessions as mini-sessions, which is something I don’t usually do with kids because if they don’t know me it can take them a little while to warm up and show their personalities. But not Mia, she is ready to go & posing from the start of the session and always does a great job! Almost every time we do this Kristal, (her mom), says that it would NEVER be that easy if she were trying to take the photos….Mia knows I’m her photographer
This session was photographed in a tiny (and I mean tiny) little town called Friedheim, and a few of them were shot by my great-grandparents old house, which I think is pretty cool.
Enjoy!
