Well, what can we say about bombshells that you guys don’t already know?  We love to shoot them, they are so much fun.  We laugh a lot, we have heart to heart talks, we listen to music and dance.  Usually the bombshell ladies start out nervous but in the end walk out knowing that they are some stunningly beautiful and sexy ladies.

The very best part the bombshell sessions is…sometimes the bombshells give their albums to their man, and then we get to hear about their reaction.

If you take a moment and watch this slideshow you will know that we had nothing but positive responses.

Rawr!

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!

Hey, it’s Dani here. I am so excited to show you a preview of my friend Melissa’s  maternity session.  Melissa and I have been friends a long time, we met when we were both in school and working at Macaroni Grill serving tables.  It was like 10 years ago (we are getting old!).  Since then lots of things have happened.  We both got through school, quit serving tables, went through break ups together, new boyfriends, new jobs, had more than a few girls night/wine nights over the years.  Melissa met Joe (who I approved of totally!) and got hitched, moved away to Atlanta, got 2 precious dogs, and now they are expecting their first baby.  When she said she wanted me to do some maternity photos, I was thrilled.  Then she said she was bringing her fur babies Blaze and Roscoe, who I had never met, I was super excited!   Those two pups are going to be great big brothers!

Here is a little sneak peek of what we captured of this lovely little family.  Congratulations guys, you all are going to be phenomenal parents…and I can’t wait to meet baby Asher!

We know this sweet family through Dani’s Mom, and we are so thankful we got to document this moment in their lives.  Kari and Mika are the most genuine couple and they are very deserving of their beautiful little girl.

Kari had us over to her adorable house for some one on one time with little Avarie.  She is such an alert little girl, she was awake for the whole session!  Mika works as a fireman for Bradley County and was working that day so we headed on down to the station to snap a few of the family together and of sweet little Avarie with her Daddy.

It’s that time of year again, folks!  The weather is warming up, the birds are chirping, and the sun is staying out later…it’s spring time!  So, it’s time for us to be doing some spring mini sessions!

Fortunately,  we had a tremendous turnout for our pre-sale (which was offered to our previous mini session clients first) so we had to open up another weekend!

We are now taking booking requests for March 31st and April 1st.  These sessions go super fast, so if you are interested in booking, please email us at:

bloomchattanooga@gmail.com

Please give us your preferred date and time of day.

As with all our mini sessions, this one will be styled as well!  We plan on having baby ducks and a few little areas that we will stage in some super cute spring decor.  We are thinking an old red wagon, a cool vintage chair, a picnic area, and wildflowers.

Our spring mini’s will be held at the Enterprise South Nature Park.  We are planning to have everything setup at picnic area 3.  There is a little bridge there and lots of lovely trees.

We are so excited about this years spring sessions!

We hope to see you all there!  

To book your spring mini session, please email us at bloomchattanooga@gmail.com!

Ok, now…we know in the past we have said that we won’t publish bombshell sessions…but…we just couldn’t help it with these!  (of course we have the clients permission!)  

Luckily this beautiful lady found us on facebook and booked her bombshell session for her husbands Valentines gift this year.  When she got to the studio, she seemed quiet and reserved (especially since we had never officially met her).  But once we got her in some hair and makeup, cranked up the tunes, and started posing her…she was a NATURAL!  We even asked her several times “Now, are you SURE you haven’t done this before…like for a living??”  Needless to say, we have heard from her that her husband was FLOORED by her album and she was so happy with her experience that she has already told us she wants to do it again!  We say, bring it on Miss A!  You are STUNNING!  

See what we mean??

The Bloom girls were so excited about our booth this year at the Chattanooga Pink Bridal show!  We made sure to take a few shots of our booth being set up (which went so smoothly thanks to Momma Lyndi Blair).  And thanks to Skye’s crafty boyfriend Kevin we had walls made, which was something we were wanting so badly for this year.  Here is the journey it took to set everything up:

This is what it looked like when we arrived, then after the wall had been set up.

Miss Lyndi and Ryli hard at work!

Skye supervising!

the finished product (almost!)

Our handouts and our buttons that we gave out to brides.  They were really a hit! Our flowers provided by Veo Weddings and Events (more about them later!)

Our friends from Sunrise Farms had a BEAUTIFUL booth!  We are so lucky to be able to work with such great people.
