Jeff & Holly.....Married!

My last wedding of 2008 was absolutely beautiful! The weather was great and all of the details just completed the sleek fall look. The bride and groom were surrounded by such wonderful friends and family that wished them well as they started their new life as husband and wife! Here are some of my faves from their big day! (There are quite a few images...I hated to leave any out) Congrats Jeff and Holly! Much Love....

Winter Wonderland....well for TN anyways...

OK,OK......I know. I am way behind on my blogs, but I must admit this has been our busiest season in a while. And I can only hope that it continues to be busy for us. Because that means I am getting closer to my goal of doing photography FULL TIME! We are currently not taking appointments during the month of December, just to prepare for our 2009 season! We are looking to add more products, new albums and a few price changes. But not to worry...for those 2009 brides that have already booked, you are locked in at the 2008 rate! But anyways, I do apologize about being so behind on the blog these days. I have had several friends here lately tell me how they check my blog daily and noticed I haven't been posting anything, so thanks for lighting that fire under my rear and now hopefully I can get back in the swing of things!! So my post is Winter Wonderland and it truly was a sight to see this morning! And I know to all of our friends up North, they are probably laughing at what "little" we had, but to all of us here in good 'ole Tennessee, SNOW of any kind is a big deal. So I had to get out and snap a few photos. Just to document the fact that we did have some snow this year! I love snow and all that makes it feel more like the Holidays! So, here are a few shots from my neck of the woods.....and maybe this won't be the last snow we'll see this year! Much Love to all of my clients, friends and family.....yes, I am still on the planet(for those of you wondering) It's good to be back! Enjoy!

Ty & Zoe

I have been so lucky lately to have some of the coolest kids to work with. Meet Ty and Zoe. They are brother and sister and they totally know how to ROCK the camera! And it's all made possible by their super cool mom Carol, who put all the trendy outfits together. We had a blast hanging out and we got some awesome shots from the session! Here are a few of my faves from the day.....Enjoy! Much Love!

Will you Marry me......?

Ok,so now let me tell you just how sly Josh is. I was working a wedding when I got a voicemail from Brandi's boyfriend Josh. He really didn't go into any detail over the phone about what he needed, so when we were finally able to talk that next Monday, he filled me in on the wonderful surprise he had for his future bride to be! He was going to propose! I was speechless for a moment, because I was so honored that he wanted me to be in on their forever! I had never been with a couple for a proposal and let me just tell ya, it isn't easy. My eyes were getting misty and starting to run, and for a photographer, you need your sight, and at that moment, mine was giving in to the tears. But anyways, back to the story. So, he sends his lovely lady 11 roses to work that Friday before the portrait session. He is sure to make a big deal about one of the roses missing, just to keep her off the diamond trail. And he works it out with a friend that works at the floral shop next to the Carter House, to leave the 12th rose waiting for Brandi. And so he did. When we got to the Carter House I was nervous, and just hoping I wouldn't mess something up and I know Josh had to be feeling the pressure as well. So getting the nod from Josh, a little ways into the session, I take Brandi off by herself for some pretend shots, just to buy Josh some time. And from the corner of my eye, I could see him walking back with the rose. I had Brandi step out into the sunlight to see her soon to be fiance' holding her ring and her rose. And this is the part where my eyes were filling up, and the group touring the Carter House were holding their breath nearby. Josh had filled them in on what was about to take place, when he had gone to get the rose. After it was all said and done, there were tears, clapping, shouts of Congratulations and well wishes, but the most important thing was that SHE SAID YES! It was simple and sweet and tells the story of how Brandi won her Josh....forever! Much Love.......

Puttin' out the vibe in Franklin....Brandi and Josh style!

How do you begin to describe a couple that it already so awesome! It'll be difficult, but I'll do the best I can. It all started with an email when Brandi contacted me about setting up an appointment for portraits. The minute we began to talk the words just flowed and I knew she was cool from the start. And when she spoke so fondly and candidly about the guy that stole her heart, I knew she was smitten. From that moment on, I couldn't wait to meet them and introduce them to my camera! So on the chilly morning of October 18th, we finally met and as soon as my camera saw them, sparks flew! Instant chemistry! They were naturals! Ryan and I truly enjoyed their company and had a wonderful time. And little did Brandi know when she woke up that morning, that she would be getting engaged later that day.....Here are a few of my faves from the session....the blog above will give you a peek at Josh's super sweet proposal! And for you loyal blog readers, you are sure to notice something different about the way some of these photos look. And that is because we are phasing in outdoor lighting for some of our sessions, and we are very happy with the results so far. So I must take a moment to thank my outdoor lighting instructors Zach Gray and Evan Baines for sharing their knowledge that is allowing me to branch out and try new things! Thanks again so much! Enjoy!

Alice & Faith

Over the weekend, I headed up to Beechgrove and got a chance to hang out with the super HOT mother/daughter duo Alice and Faith and their horses Dancer and William. It was a beautiful drive and the weather was perfect! I would love to have a chance to do more portraits out that way again! The scenery was breath taking! I had a blast with these ladies and it shows! They knew all the moves like they had been modeling all their life! So, needless to say....they ROCKED it! Here are a few teasers from the session that just happen to be my faves..... Enjoy! Much Love....
