Meet this beautiful family with baby Charlie on the way. Tonya makes pregnancy look even more beautiful than it already is! She’s about to deliver any day now and look how good she looks! Abby and Graci, which are Tonya and Jacobs first 2 little girls were such sweet angels during the session. Took those precious faces a few minutes to warm up to us but once they did boy did their personalities come out to play! We believe Jacob is going to have his hands full because baby #3 is a little girl as well.

We can’t wait to meet baby Charlie! We are sending thoughts and prayers up for Tonya that she has a quick and safe delivery!

February 26, 2013 Avarie is 6 months old!

This precious little gal’s name is Avarie.  You may recognize her from her newborn photos.  You don’t?  Ok, well let’s refresh your memory then…

6months1 300x250 Avarie is 6 months old!

 

Since we are a little (OK, A LOT!) behind on blogging this slideshow is from when Avarie was 6 months old.  And this coming Saturday we will get to document her at her one year mark!  It is such a great job we have to be able to see little ones grow up before our eyes!  At her six month session it was all spring time flowers and pretty frilly outfits and she was a big girl pulling up on the chair and hanging out there all by herself!  And JUST LOOK at the photos of her in her basketball outfit!  PRECIOUS!  We could just squeeze those little legs of hers in those tube socks.  Her Mom Kari had quite a hard time finding such tiny little tube socks, but they were sure worth the hard work!

Happy Birthday Avarie!  You are sure growing up to be a precious little lady!

Precious. Simply precious. Brynleigh is precious, her parents Drew and Kayla are precious. Just such a precious family. So sweet and welcoming. Brynleigh Faith Akins was born on February 8, 2013 at 8:15 am weighing 6 pounds, 1 ounce and 18.5 inches long. Tiny little thing she was and still is! She was only a week early too. I guess Brynleigh was also an early Valentines day gift. I’ve gotta say that is probably THE BEST  Valentines day gift ever for Drew and Kayla.

Brynleigh was so itty bitty. Tiniest little toes and fingers, She gave a few smiles once she got nice and comfy during the shoot. She also wanted to see all the action. We guess she didn’t get the memo about going to sleep. We had a few “Awe” moments and we also had a few good belly laughs during the session. You see, when Drew was holding Brynleigh  she took a little pee pee on him. Drew was a trooper. He didn’t freak out as Kayla and I laughed hysterically. He changed shirts and we just kept shooting the session. Way to go Drew! And hey, WAY TO GO KAYLA! You look like you never had a baby! You go girl!

So anyhow this is the precious Akin’s family with their newest addition Brynleigh. Like we said earlier and time and time again. Precious.

February 26, 2013 Annabelle turned1!

Yup, We are still catching up on writing blogs!

We meet the Welch family in the Spring of 2012 and if we had only known then what we know now.  Dee and I  really cherish this family. We’re talking about when we see an e mail from them or get a phone call from them our hearts just glow! Jeremy and Bliss, Annabella’s momma and daddy have a special kind of love. The love that marriage vows were built around. Annabelle is such a lucky little girl to have them as parents and we know they feel blessed to have her as their baby girl. She is their little princess!

Miss Annabelle has a smile that is contagious and it will make you smile from ear to ear. She is the most calm, grown up 1 year old we have both ever met in our whole entire lives! Its like shes a grown up and knows everything that’s going on and hears everything we are saying and just shakes her head at the circus going on around her. We love this sweet girl!

Jeremy and Bliss threw her 1 year birthday party at their house. It was decked out in pink and princess everything. We took some group family shots outside in their amazing backyard. I still cant believe how green their grass was! You would have thought I(Skye) had never seen green grass before. Ha. Then we went inside where all the fun festivities began. Present opening, cake eating, playing with toys, and baths in the sink! Fun times. We always love a good 1 year birthday party. Happy Birthday Annabelle.

Happy Monday! Skye here, I want you to meet Eric, Stephanie and their baby bump. Eric and Stephanie are fun loving, sweet, adoring, and quirky in their own way. They are one of my most favorite couples i’ve had the chance to work with. For real though! I have known Stephanie since we worked together waaay back in the day at the good ole Olive Garden. Yup, That’s right folks. We used to sling bread sticks and toss salads! That was 8+ years ago though. Wow! How times have changed. I now have a baby, Clair and Stephanie isn’t far off from holding their wee little bundle of baby in her arms.

When Stephanie had contacted us about shooting baby bump photos I got all excited! I was seriously giddy inside. Stephanie and Eric are that couple that you feel like you’ve known for forever even if you haven’t. On my way to shoot their photos at Harrison Bay it looked like it was going to come a torrential down pour. Luckily it DIDN’T! Thank the lord. But I am super glad it was over cast because the sky looked awesome in the photos.

Once parked Stephanie and Eric jumped out and we got things started. I’ve actually never seen a pregnant girl move so fast! Not even myself back in the day. Stephanie was saying she was having a bad hair day because of this crazy January weather here in TN. It was about 70 degrees last Saturday. I’ll say this much though… I wish my hair looked like hers on a bad day. She looked like she just fell out of a hair magazine or off the red carpet! Simply Beautiful. In some of these I personally think she resembles Jennifer Aniston. You’ll see! Stephanie is so fun! I wish I could hang out with her on a daily basis. Shes also pretty artsy herself. Stephanie makes scarfs! Take a look here.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/Scarvesbystephy  She’s pretty darn cool if you ask me.

Eric, her other half warmed up to me after about 10 minutes or so. Guys usually don’t understand the importance of “Maternity” sessions. He was a bit quiet at first but I can be a lot to take in at first so i won’t give him to much grief about that. He was a good sport. Eric was the perfect model husband, cooperated and did great! Thanks Eric! icon surprised Eric + Stephanie Have A Baby Bump! )

Stephanie and Eric have such a fun relationships. There was always smiling, joking and laughing going on! Their sweet baby boy sure is coming into a wonderful home. Congrats Stephanie & Eric. I can’t wait to meet him! Oh and I’m not saying his name because I forgot if it is a secret or not.

Oh and there’s a photo we took of a fortune they opened a few days before the shoot from a fortune cookie and it couldnt have been more fitting!

Enjoy….

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!

September 5, 2012 Princess Ella turns 5!

 

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!
