Brett's Senior Portraits - Idependence High 2010

Check out Brett's Senior Portrait Slideshow Sneak Peek! Brett is graduating from Independence High School in Spring Hill, TN this Spring 2010. While doing a photo shoot for A Moment's Peace in Cool Springs, I met Brett's mom, Jennifer. I have been shooting some really cute girl seniors lately, but had been hoping for a cool senior guy to come along so we could capture some great sports shots. Jennifer raved about her son, as good mama's do, and she was absolutely right...Brett totally rocked it!! Enjoy your senior year Brett :)

Keith & Bethany Engagement SNEAK PEEK - Nashville, TN

Here is a slideshow Sneak Peek of Keith & Bethany's Engagement Photo Session we recently shot in Downtown Nashville, TN. They both work at Vanderbilt Hospital and Keith pulled a few strings with his team - the flight crew - to gain us access to the helipad for a few shots. You have to see these pics!
It was so special to shoot at a place that is such a huge part of their life... and I have to admit it was kinda cool seeing the view of Nashville from up there too! ;) Keith & Bethany are very cool, laid back and easy to get along with and I know their Wedding will be a blast!

Wow what a CAKE! - Nashville, TN: Event "Just Desserts"



My friend, Brooke O'Dell, of Ice This, recently created a cake for and event honoring Lt. Gov Ron Ramsey, who will be running for the Governor of Tennessee this year. The event was called "Just Deserts". Brooke was asked to create a cake and had me photograph it before it was displayed at the Nashville event. I was in awe of her talent once again and was ecstatic when she told me it sold for $3500! If you are in need of a spectacular cake creation, you need "Ice This". Not only do I loooove her company name... her cakes are incredibly fun to take pictures of and taste good too :)

Baby Olivia Newborn Photos - Huntsville, AL

One of the most alert and well behaved newborns I have ever photographed! Here is Olivia's newborn portraits at 3 weeks old!


This one cracks me up!!


My Samford University college roomate and one of my best friends, Rachel, and her husband Paul just celebrated the birth of Baby Olivia! They now live in Huntsville, AL and I couldn't wait to get down there to see Olivia and have the honor of doing her newborn portrait session. Olivia is now one month old and I can already tell she will be a heart breaker by the way she has her daddy wrapped around her finger :) Congratulations Rachel & Paul!

WPPI Convention


The WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International) Convention is taking place in 23 days and counting! Each year I have contemplated going but it is usually only a passing thought since in the past I have either been shooting a wedding, on a family trip, or pregnant. :) This year none of those is taking place but for some reason I hadn't given it a thought until a few weeks ago.
Over the last few weeks, I've had multiple conversations with several photographer friends that are either going...or wish they were. WPPI keeps being brought up, to the point I even found a photographer that offered a FREE pass if I blogged about it! At this point I feel so lead to go to WPPI I don't think I can escape it!
Guilt has still set in about having to leave the hubby with our 15 month-old for several days...poor guy just let me go on a girls weekend, where I got snowed in having to stay an extra day, and now I'm going to leave them again! But Luke has been (as he always is) SUPER supportive and encourages me toward anything I want to do that will help me in what I love....photography & business.
So, I am praying for that FREE pass and if the Lord wants me to go so bad I know he'll make it happen and there will be a reason.
Sooo I guess it's 23 days and counting... :)

Lawrence if your reading this, I would love that Free Pass! :)
