November in Nashville

Last fall I got to meet this sweet family, and I was so happy to see them again this year. This little guy is growing bigger, smarter, and more fun! He was a trooper to brave the chilly, early morning November weather, and we found some great fall colors!



Sweet, sweet, sweet...





We had such a fun time hanging out and telling jokes. 5 year old boys are pretty great!

Fall Colors Are Finally Here!

Finally! I've been looking for it for over a month, and I thought we just weren't going to get it this year in Nashville. But here it is! Fall color! This morning I got to hang out with some new friends, and we found lots of bright fall colors. It was a chilly morning, but we had so much fun telling knock-knock jokes and singing silly songs. I even learned some new knock-knock jokes, and trust me, they are GOOD ones!
 











A big thanks to the beautiful P Family for putting up with my crazy songs and not-so-funny jokes (the 4 year old thought they were funny, though...). And happy fall...Finally!

T Family Mini-Session

A quick peek for this beautiful family of 5 (soon to be 6!!!) who came out for a mini-session this fall...
   

Three sweet girls...waiting for Baby #4 (maybe another sister? maybe a brother this time??) to join them soon!





Gracious. If I were half as photogenic as they are, I would have my picture taken every day!

Home, Sweet Home

Earlier this year this beautiful family moved in to their new home. I love this family, and I am so happy to see them settling in to their amazing, historic, full-of-character home. They wanted some pictures taken of the whole crew on their beautiful property (which is huge!), so here they are. I don't normally post so many pictures on a blog preview, but this sweet friend, who is the very personification of patience, has been waiting a long time to see these pictures, so she deserves a big old giant preview:

October Mini-Sessions

It's been a busy October! I've put many more pictures on Facebook lately, but here's one of my non-Facebook families, who also happen to be some of my very favorite people in the whole world....






These are some seriously pretty girls. I mean pretty, pretty, pretty girls. And so full of 3 very different personalities!

Summer Days

We've been trying to do this photo shoot for probably 2 months now. When there are 5 kids involved (2 of hers, 3 of mine), hot and humid summer weather, and lots of schedules to coordinate, sometimes it just takes a while to pull it off. Today I had a sick baby and it rained, so we almost had to reschedule again. I'm so glad it all came together, though. We ended up with perfect weather (wet grass, but perfect weather...) and 2 perfectly well behaved little boys!

Look how perfectly still those boys are sitting!
 







Nothing says summer like little boys and muddy feet...








Way to stick with it, Amber! I knew we could do it....eventually!

5 days old

Sweet Miss Baby M, at only 5 days old and full of newborn sweetness...
 

There's nothing in the world like it...



She was wide awake, and I have to say, probably the LEAST cross-eyed newborn I've ever seen. Look at those perfect eyes! It's probably because she's going to be brilliant. I'm sure of it.



Love the baby toes sticking out!






Gotta love the WubbaNub! Why didn't they have these super cute pacifiers when my first baby was born??



I do love tiny, wrinkly baby feet!

Welcome to the world, sweet Baby Girl!
