This family is one good looking family if we do say so! They remind us of a family from a Gap or Old Navy commercial.

This is the Schexnaildre family. You may have noticed that you’ve seen them before? Probably because we took their photos back around Christmas time of 2011 and 2012. They were part of our Spring Mini Sessions but when mother natures calls we have to call off  our sessions. So we rescheduled them. This session turned out pretty darn cute at a different park though. So enjoy taking some time to look through their family session and at their adorable little girls! AH! Too cute!

Spring Mini Sessions. Oh how we love thee. Yes we realize we are pretty much on the verge of  Spring again and are just now posting the Spring Minis but wedding season happened and Bloom had a baby! Then it was the Holidays and here we are again.

Spring Minis are one of our favorite times of the year. We get to see our past, present and new clients after the long winter season. We get to use live props such as bunnies and or ducks. Maybe this year 2013  it will be a baby goat or lamb! Fingers crossed!

So sit back and enjoy scrolling through these beautiful faces from the Spring Minis of 2012. Those ducks & Rabbits were so very brave!

Hello All. Let us start off by saying we have MISSED you all. We have also missed our blog. Let us explain our absence. Boy oh boy has 2012 been a year for the books! Our very own Skye(Me) had a wee little baby girl, Clair Browning Stone was born on July 4th, 2012 at 2:59 a.m.  I didn’t come back to work until the beginning of September, So Dee ran the show for a while. I guess you could say we kinda went on a hiatus. But now we are back in the saddle? …  Lets just say we are behind the lens! )

We couldn’t have better clients! We really couldn’t! Once we were back from our mini summer vacation e mails starting filling up our in boxes morning after morning and before we knew it, Fall Mini time had arrived! We held them at Red Clay State Park. I think we had a week break before it was time to start our Christmas sessions. They were fabulous as always. But wait, wait, wait! We need to back up a little bit and give yall and update on the sessions we had before we went on our mini summer vacation and before our Fall and Christmas sessions. I don’t really know if having a baby qualifies as a vacay though? Because I didn’t and haven’t really had any relaxation time since the beginning of July.

Anyhow,

The next posts we will be updating will be all of our sessions from April-December of this year(2012). We weren’t terribly busy do to me and my baby bump. We scheduled lightly in the Spring and early summer of this year. But buddy, once September hit it was back on! So enjoy the next posts we will be adding from all the past sessions and weddings from 2012.

Oh but wait, I guess first we will leave you with a few newborn photos and 2 month photos of baby Clair for everyone who hasn’t seen her. Dee and I can’t believe she is almost 6 months!

So here she is in all her Glory! Clair Browning Stone. Blooms newest addition! )

This is the sweetest bride you will ever meet AND her mate is pretty nice too.  These are two true love birds for sure. Their first look was one that will go down in the books! They were Married on April 14th 2012 at Patten Chapel in Chattanooga,TN. One of our favorite locations to shoot. That church just has such a warm feeling to it and has so much history.

From the girls running a bit behind before the ceremony to the guys eating sandwiches while we were about to shoot the formal photos it was an eventful wedding day to say the least!

Carrie was dressed to kill in her wedding dress. We think she just might be the 2013 poster Bride! You will see her photos and your breath will be taken away as well, We assure you! Oh AND Josh was looking pretty snazzy in his tux. So GQ!

So family, friends, And or future brides, Rest your hand on the mouse and enjoy scrolling through these.

We LOVE you Carrie & Josh! Happy ever after to yall!

Only in fairy tales did we think a little girls birthday party could be like this! Jessica and Tay, Ellas mom and dad went all out for their first and oldest baby girls birthday. She is still and probably always will be a baby in their eyes but she turned the big 5!!!

From the time you pulled into the drive way until the time you left it was Princess and fairy tale themed everywhere! The food was amazing and Jessica made ALL of the sweets! The gorgeous cake!  We personally think she should be a party/event planner for little kids birthdays. You will think so too after you see these photos.

At princess Ellas party there were fairy god mothers doing hair and make up to help transform these beautiful little girls into real life princesses! There were Cinderella’s, Snow whites, and many many more! After hair and make up it was time to chow down on some Beef O’Bradys food, have some fun time in the backyard and do a little dancing. Now that is how some princesses get down!

There was a small shower but that didn’t stop anyone from groovin on that dance floor. As the rain cleared out it was cake cutting time, Everyone sang the happy birthday tune to Ella and it really was a day fit for a princess!

Hey, it’s Dani here.  Well, we have a very important announcement to make!

Our beloved Skye has a baby bump.  We (I say “we” as if we are all pregnant!) are expecting baby girl sometime in early July!  Right now we will just call her CBS, those are her initials…the name is top secret.  We are so excited, we can hardly contain ourselves!  We already know that baby CBS is going to be photographed SO so much, but if she is anything like her momma…she won’t mind too much.  

Skye had her first baby shower thrown for her by Kevin’s sweet Mom, Sherri.  The day of the shower was a beautiful warm spring morning…the weather was PERFECT.  Sherri hosted such a laid back quaint little baby shower, it was almost like girls friends just getting together and having lunch…except for all the amazing gifts that were given.  Skye got a little assistance in opening her presents by pup dog Box 2 (photos below).  Let’s just say that Skye, Kevin, and baby girl CBS are blessed.  We can’t wait to meet her!

Get used to this beautiful couple’s face, because you will see them again when they get hitched this coming fall.  We have been trying for months to get a session with these two lovelies, but it seems old man winter and mother nature had other plans for us!  We were all kind of glad the session got delayed because if it were not for the delay…we would not have been able to have this warm and fabulous magic hour lighting that only the spring and summer months can provide.

We met Matt and Rachel at the park and they brought their 3 BEAUTIFUL pups…at first we were like “3 dogs…let’s hope this goes well!”  but these dogs were so well behaved.  They posed like old pros.  The session from beginning to end was filled with laughter, and you can tell in these photos that we all had fun.  We are honored that they have chose us to capture their wedding day too!  We absolutely can’t wait for your wedding Matt and Rachel, it’s going to be SO MUCH FUN!

Just a warning, this post contains high levels of awesomeness.  

Hey, Dani here.  We simply cannot wait to share these photos with you.  If you don’t already know, Chattanooga is sort of a mecca of extremely talented local musicians.  On any given night, it seems, you can go listen to some amazing music.  We are some lucky little duckies down in the valley.  

Ryli first mentioned for us to head down to Rhythm and Brews to see our friends Strung Like a Horse and Glowing Bordis play….on St. Patty’s Day.  Our answer was an overwhelming YES. 

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE….

Not only would the bands play their original sets, but Strung Like a Horse covered a whole set of Violent Femmes, and Glowing Bordis wrapped up the night with a set of Rage Against the Machine.  Yeah, that sounds awesome right?  Right.

We all decided that we should all go out and take some photos of the glimmering green shenanigans.  So Ryli, Skye, friends, and I met up at the Boathouse for some pre-game dinner and drinks (sorry no photos of that).  After we fed our bellies we headed on down to Rhythm and Brews.  

AND WE WERE BLOWN AWAY.  I mean, holy macaroni…

In case you were wondering the answer is YES.  Heads banged, faces melted, everyone danced, the crown sang along, and we all partied the night away.  These bands are incredible talents and we feel downright giddy about the images we captured of said talent.  If you ever have a chance to catch either band (or if you are super lucky, you can see both of them in the same night!) we wholly recommend you go.  They will not disappoint.

Meet baby Heath. He’s such a pretty baby! So flawless, So soft. Now we know where the expression “Soft as a baby’s bottom” comes from. Baby’s like Heath! We showed up at their house on a Friday morning for Heaths session and boy was he content being at home. He didn’t make a peep, Just let us turn him and pose him at whatever way we needed.

Then he got a little hungry so we decided to take a small break before doing his photos with mom and dad. We took some of his room. It was so peaceful in there. Just like a baby’s room should be! We also let Brooke and Richard, Heaths momma and daddy lay and roll around on the bed with him for some cute family shots. We are so happy for the Henderson family and their newest member of the family. Congradulations Brooke and Richard!

Is he seriously not the most adorable baby you’ve seen!?

Yeah, We thought so too! From his head FULL of hair to his little itty bitty toes! When looking in the dictionary at the word perfection baby Coopers photo would be beside it staring at back you.

 Cooper was actually about 3 weeks old when these photos were taken. Why you may ask? Well you see, The Dr’s thought Cooper had twisted intestines so he had to go stay in the NICU for about a week. But he showed everyone what he was made of and come to find out everything was going to be ok! Kate & Johnny, Coopers momma and daddy needed a week to clam down and take it all in at home with him and just have Cooper all to themselves before getting back in the swing of things. Which do you blame them? We would have stayed at home for weeks with baby Cooper if he was ours! But then again he is too cute to keep at home so showing him off and getting newborn photos was a must!

We are so glad Kate & Johnny chose us to capture Cooper and his perfect newbornnesss. Congrats Carr family on your newest member of your family!
