Jessica | Rockin’ It in Nashville, Tennessee!

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 Posted in Fashion

This weekend, Tyler and I traveled to Nashville, Tennessee, to see Paramore rock it out as well as celebrate the birthday of one of our dearest friends.

So let’s see…big city, beautiful best friend and the services of a fab makeup artist. What to do, what to do? Photo shoot!

You may remember Jessica from this photo shoot back in July. Well, she looks a little different this time. She decided to be brave and say goodbye to her signature curls for a rockin’ new style.

Look at that attitude! Work it, girl!

Tons of fun in good ol’ Nashvegas, but I’ve been traveling a lot lately. Too much. So glad to be home!

Check back soon for more sneak peeks. I’m doing my best to get caught up.

Sandra | Baby Bump!

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 Posted in Babies, Families, Maternity

I’ve been traveling a lot lately. And a few weeks ago, my travels took me to Indianapolis for the day job. So I took advantage of it and shot some maternity pictures for my friend Sandra. Although she was only 32 weeks along when we took these pictures, we were afraid she’d give birth any moment. She had her son Andy at just 33 weeks, so I was mentally preparing myself during the shoot for the possibility I might have to deliver a little baby. NOT in my job description! Luckily, little Elizabeth decided to stay in the oven a while longer.

We shot this image at an outdoor shopping mall. I loved the backdrop, and there were so many fantastic locations here. Who would’ve thunk? Shortly hereafter, we were kicked out. Apparently, there’s some rule against shooting at an outdoor shopping mall. I always say rules were meant to be broken.

Here’s little Andy. I’m sure he’ll make a great big brother.

Mom Sandy and Dad Andrew still have it after all these years. I was in their wedding back in my college days, and it’s so awesome to see them just as happy as the day they said I do. We had some beautiful light that morning. *sigh*

I love you guys and can’t wait to meet the newest addition to your family! Scratch that, yes I can…stay in there as long as you can, little Elizabeth! Here’s praying for a smooth delivery, Sandy…you know, in a few weeks.

Zac, Ashlie and Lillie | Sneak Peek!

Wednesday, August 11, 2010 Posted in Families

Your eyes do not deceive you. You’ve seen this family several times on this blog. It’s my sister’s family. I love them. A lot.

When the reason to use these locations fell through, I asked my sister if they’d be up to doing a quick session there. They were totally up for it, and the timing was perfect. Their fourth anniversary is this week, and what a great way to celebrate. I hope they can choose one of the images from the session to display as a big canvas print in their home.

Besides celebrating their anniversary, these sessions have been a great way to document the stages in Lillie’s life. She’s getting so big, talking like crazy and climbing on everything. As you can see here, she’s trying to climb the ladder I brought. We couldn’t keep her off of it. She’s our little monkey, that’s for sure.

This one might be my favorite. Lillie was moving so fast that it really was a lucky capture.

Picking the final images for this session (I chose 121!) made me so emotional. Such a beautiful family, and goodness that Lillie…it makes my heart so happy to see how far she’s come.

These three are it for now. More once I get more caught up on editing. To say I’ve been busy is an understatement, so thank you for all who have been patiently waiting. (P.S. This blog post comes to you from Washington DC where I’m attending a forum for the day job!)
