Tarrants Family : Franklin Family Photography

I had the pleasure of spending last Saturday morning with the Tarrants family in Franklin. They were such troopers and let me drag them around to 4 different locations! :) Both of their girls are adorable, and we had a lot of fun enjoying a perfect autumn day.

Three year old Katherine did great, and was kind enough to educate me on the finer points of the Lion King (fyi: apparently Mufasa is the best character) and how to make a good scary face....

Baby Anna was so relaxed the entire day...and (once we got her to look at the camera) we got some great shots! :) 

Such a fun family! Happy Wednesday everyone! 

Business & Busyness: Last Open Weekend in October

Pumpkins, apple cider, cooler weather...this fall is already flying by and it has barely even started yet! :) So far I have purchased 7 pumpkins for our house (I know, I know...but some of them are little ones) and discovered that canned pumpkin was sold out at the grocery store...already! I am on a hunt for a few cans to make some pumpkin-related baked goods...but that is another post.

I just wanted to write a quick blog to deal with a little business item....our last open weekend this month! Every weekend in October is booked except for October 8th/9th (this weekend!), so if anyone would like it, its up for grabs! It is supposed to be gorgeous this weekend, so I would love to work in another outdoor shoot or two.

I am still available for weekday shoots (after school is a great time for Senior Portraits), but if you are looking for a Saturday or Sunday shoot, please email me asap.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful fall!

Franklin Childrens Photography: Everett

I promised that you would get to meet Nora Kate's big brother, so here he is! Everett is a spunky little 3 year old who was very excited to have his picture taken. (Note to self: If I can somehow bottle the energy of a toddler, I can out-sell Red Bull in a heartbeat.)  We decided to go on a walk through the neighborhood and shoot (and play) along the way. :)

To get some smiles and laughs, we discussed the finer points of what my puppy likes to eat. Toilet paper, rocks, dirt, paper towels, more dirt, the newspaper, etc.  The digestive abilities of a dog are apparently amazing (and hilarious) to a three year old.  :)

Typical boy: wants to wear his hat in every photo.
Typical Mom: does not want boy to wear hat in every photo.
So, we compromised. :)

Such a fun way to spend an afternoon!

Franklin Newborn Photography: Nora Kate

(*Disclaimer: This post may make you want a baby.)

It is a rainy, overcast Monday here in Nashville and I am bundled up in the house editing away. So what cures the Monday blues? Cute babies!!! :) Nora Kate was such a little sweetheart, and once her mom swaddled her up, she went right to sleep for us.

I had the pleasure of photographing this little lady and her big brother last week. I'll be doing a separate post on him in a few days, so stay tuned to meet big brother Everett!

Don't say I didn't warn you. :)

Lyla Kate - 1 month

Meet Lyla Kate! She is almost 1 month old, so we did a quick photo session to celebrate. :) Too cute in her little hot pink tutu! 

Lyla decided to take a nap on us, but we felt it may have been a blessing in disguise.  Can you tell her big sisters are excited about having a new girl in the family? :)

Precious. :)

Bolin Family

Early Saturday morning {we met at Starbucks if that tells you anything} I had the pleasure of photographing the adorable Bolin Family in downtown Franklin. Little Andrew kept us all laughing for the entire shoot - and if you ever need to be schooled on your Disney characters, he knows his stuff! :)

So much fun! Happy Tuesday!
