Finally, it’s getting closer to that time of year again friends.  This Tennessee heat and humidity will go away, all of the trees will begin to change colors…the whole skyline will be yellow, red, orange.  We can’t wait for fall!!  Since we are so excited about it this year, our Fall Mini Sessions are gonna be extra special.

As you know usually a “Mini Session” means, shorter time…but this year, there will be nothing mini about our sessions but the price.

We are offering our full hour session time which allows ample time for an outfit change, allows time for crying babies to calm down, and time for more locations to visit.  Sometimes (most times) we left our past mini sessions thinking…I wish we had more time with them.  It wasn’t fair to our clients, and we are sort of perfectionists and expect the best from ourselves, so we are changing it.

Along with a longer time, you will get a disc of the best images (at least 25) from the session, an 8×10 print of your favorite image, and a printable holiday greeting card template featuring the same favorite image.  We are offering this at the deeply discounted price of $100.00 (plus tax).

Perhaps the most exciting thing about this session is that the locations will be styled.  We are going for an overall organic, warm and cozy, rich autumn look.  We have been working on lots of fun ideas and different ‘location/stations’ so that you get a variety of looks.  We are so excited!!

Email us ASAP to book your time because we have a waiting list already of clients who are ready to book, so these slots will go like hotcakes!

We are going to be doing lots of DIY projects for this session, and we will blog our progress.  And also, be on the lookout for fall “What to Wear” session inspiration posts!

Please email us with your preferred appointment time, and we will let you know if it is open and options if it is not open.  Once we figure out the best time for you, we will pencil you in.  We do however, require a $50 (non refundable) deposit to be paid to officially hold your appointment time.  The deposit goes towards the total cost of the session.

At the time of booking please remit payment to:

First of all we want to say Congratulations to Kalyn and Ryan on their engagement and THANK YOU SO MUCH for involving us in your celebration.  It was so much fun.

Meet Kalyn & Ryan…they got engaged and had quite the shindig.  Thankfully the Bloom gals were there to document this amazing celebration.  When we spoke with Kalyn to confirm everything we were told to meet them at the penthouse (a.k.a party room) on the roof of a swanky North Shore apartment complex.  We were to bring photobooth props & lighting, and to be prepared for fun (200 bottles of wine type fun).  Um…yes, please and thank you!  The minute we pulled up we knew we were in for a blast of a night… and once we navigated our way through the complex (which turns out was quite a chore with all the stuff we had)  and made it to the room we were amazed.  It was beautiful, the decorations, the view, everything….

Kalyn decorated it all herself which is amazing.  She really could and should be an event planner…well…with her sparkling personality, she could do just about anything.  She is quite the hostess, immediately making us feel like we belong there.  She was dressed to the 9′s in a snazzy blue dress and matching heels.  And her soon-to-be-hubby Ryan?  He’s perfect for her and he just may be the sweetest guy ever.  Sweet as in if you were to hug him a big teddy bear hug will only do kind of sweet (I didn’t hug him, but I imagine this to be true).  It is my belief that together, they could totally have their own (successful) reality show.  The show would be about being a young, engaged, fun, loving couple…happily living in the Northshore penthouse with the best view of Chattanooga.  Ahh…Can’t you just see it?

Ok…wait…back to the party…

Once we got in and settled the celebration began…and it looked a little something like this….CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!!  We can’t wait for the wedding!

We met Ashley at the Bridal Show in February, and she is a little bundle of joy.  Luckily she and her mother decided to choose us for their wedding festivities.  We first did their engagement session in June, and quickly realized that this couple’s wedding day would be so much fun.  We were right…Blake and Ashely are perfect for each other.  They got married on August 20th, 2011 at the Car Barn.  It was such a fun celebration, we didn’t want to leave!

Congratulations Blake and Ashley!  It was a blast!

Here are some of our favorite pics from the day.

the beautiful bride getting ready.

these girls were so much fun!

While we were doing bridal portraits, it started to rain.  The pic on the right is Ashley’s reaction to the rain.  NOTHING was gonna rain on her parade.

gah!  SO PRETTY!

Blake’s Grandmother held it together until they passed by.  Such a sweet moment…

Have you seen the poster for ‘Bridesmaids’?  Here’s our adaptation.  Work it ladies!

We have known the Dickson family for 1 solid year now.  The first time i photographed them was when Priscila was pregnant with baby Ben. It was one of my favorite photo sessions i have been to yet. Priscila and Bob were so sweet and little Lucas was and is still such a little gentlemen and good big brother.

Once baby Ben was born I was asked to do his new born photos. He was only about a week old and was a chunky little man already weighing in at 9 pounds with a head full of dark brown hair! I atually think he might have had more hair on his head then I did on mine at the time!

Through this past year we have not only done the maternity session and the new born session, But also the Dickson families 3rd birthday for Lucas, Fall, Christmas and Easter sessions.

I am so excited to now announce i got to photograph baby Bens 1st Birthday!  We almost feel like  he is a part of our family here at Bloom. Which in a way he is. Doesn’t his birthday party look like so much fun!? So glad we got to catpure these memories for the Dickson family! We can’t wait for so many more.

If you have ever planned a wedding, or are in the middle of planning one…meet your new best friend!  We have the pleasure of photographing Veronica of Veo Weddings and Events for her portfolio and her new website (in the works)!  She is such a sweet, caring person with an amazingly keen eye for all things weddings and events.  You can’t go wrong with this beautiful lady on your team.  Please visit our ‘Vendors We Love Page’ for more information on how to get in touch with her!  Tell her we sent you!
