Watermelon Minis

I haven't blogged in a (long) while, so I'm way overdue.  I hope the cute overload you're about to experience will make it worth it! :)

A photographer friend up in Illinois did sessions like these over the summer, and I couldn't resist asking her if I could try my hand at them with some kiddos in my area. Just to see how well it would work, and to toy with the idea of offering these at some point. And it did work...to sum it up in a few words...

Total. Cuteness.

Check out the adorable kids that came in to model for these! If you're interested in having me offer these mini sessions to the general public before the end of the summer, leave me a comment!

Austin family

The cute little family came back to see me recently for their very first family portraits.  I had the pleasure of shooting the little princess as a newborn....she's already changed so much!! Looking forward to watching this family as they grow!

Hinton family

This little guy brought his mom along for some cute family shots, and grandma tagged along to watch the shoot.  He was absolutely adorable, and pretty smart too! I told his mom she's gonna have watch out for him in a few years....with those big blue eyes, he's going to be a hit with the ladies! LOL

Corbett - HCHS Class of 2013

I had a great time photographing Corbett's senior portraits! We went to his family's property for his outdoor shoot, and I had serious envy over some of the spots (and props!) that we had to work with.  LOL  Thanks for choosing us for your senior portraits, and best of luck in your future endeavors!

Dunn family

This family was our last outdoor session of the year! We took these shots on the property of a friend of the family....it was very pretty and quiet! I'm glad I was able to shoot these for this cute family!

Alford family

Customers of ours since near the very beginning, the Alford's got together with us at John James Audubon Park in Henderson for a family session. These guys are a ton of fun to work with, and totally sweet people to  boot.  Thanks for the great day guys!! 

New! Custom sports banners & shirts!

I cannot tell you how EXCITED I am to be able to offer these to the amazing athletes in our area!! What better way to show your support for your favorite play than by display a banner or wearing their shirt??

Banners and shirts are completely custom to the player's school and/or colors.  Stop by our Facebook page to get all the information about booking one of our quick mini-sessions for these items! 

Russell Family

We did a sunset family session at Madisonville park with this little family.....I love the colors the sunset provided for us! Thanks for letting us capture your family session for you! 

Mr C - children's session

Talk about ADORABLE!! This little guy came to visit me for the first time not too long ago.  He wasn't feeling great (his Grammy and I think the card ride may have upset his belly a bit), but you'd never really know it from looking at these! Totally sweet boy....not only did he play peek-a-boo with me, he ran up to me to hug me around the neck, then cuddled in my lap to "help" me take a picture of his Grammy!  Melted my heart! 

Ashcraft/Hibbs family

I had so much fun with this group! They were easy going and up for anything (which made for some good laughs and some great images).  And the little guy is not only cute but all quite the ham, which could explain why I had such a difficult time narrowing down this session's final images! 

Thanks, guys, for choosing me to photograph your family!!

Ms K. - newborn session

Such a sweet and tiny thing this baby girl was!!! We, of course, did all the little girly flowers and bows, but we also did a few for Dad, who is a Braves fan!  She was a dream to work with, and absolutely rocked the teddy bear hat! :)

Thanks to her mom and dad for bringing her to me! I look forward to watching her grow! 

Ms A - children's session

I had the honor shooting this little cutie's newborn session four years ago....my how time has flown!! Now she's in school and learning all sorts of new things (including dance, which she was only to happy to demonstrate). Such a sweet girl! Thanks to her mom for bringing her back for a visit!!

Johnston family

The Johnston's came back to see me recently! I've known them for years, and I still can't get over how much the littlest guy has grown!! We had fun shooting in a new location (for me!) and I think we've got some wonderful images for Mom to choose from.  :)

Stone maternity

This mommy-to-be came in recently so we could play with some new ideas and have some fun. I know it sounds cliche' but she has such a glow about her! Tried something a little arty & different with the last one....didn't come out quite as I planned, but she's still pretty! :)  

Green family

A trip to the family farm, sunshine, horses and baby deer? Makes for some pretty sweet family images! 

S, R, & D - Lil' Ones

These cuties came in and played with me for a while....I even managed to get a sweet smile from the Little Miss! :)  They were a bundle of energy and fun, and I'm glad that I got to spend the time with them!

Mr G - newborns

This little guy spoiled me BIG time with his session!! Once he was fed and changed, he was out for the count.  We made it through most of the entire session without a peep.  :) He finally did let us know that he had had enough! He is such a cutie....can you tell that he is absolutely adored by his older brothers and sisters??

L & L - newborns

My, oh my we had cuteness in the studio the day these little guys came in! Our first ever set of twins, and they did great.  Big sister was absolutely adorable, and Mom (not to mention Mom's friend that came along) were a great help! 

Herran - maternity

These soon-to-be parents were a lot of fun to work with, easy and affectionate.  Not to mention that she is totally rocking the belly look! :)  Thanks to both of them for coming over and letting me play....I think I've got some gorgeous images to work with!
