Last post about Mini Sessions and it is hands down my favorite. I love it when someone allows me total creative freedom, and that is just what Christy did when she brought her girls Audrey & Davey to me for photos.

Here’s a couple for the Freeman Family. I met Brea through the Bethany Christian Services adoption forums. The Freeman’s just brought home little Mary Elizabeth this month. She is just topping 5 pounds…and every bit as sweet as she looks.

Almost Five Months Old…

My baby girl will be five months old on Saturday! Can you believe it? She looked so cute in her little RED onesie this morning before school that I had to snap a few photos. More on our family blog.
Josh & Becca, Inn at Bee Rock Wedding
October 24, 2007 | Filed Under wedding | 2 Comments
Saturday was finally the taste of Fall weather we had been waiting for as we traveled up I-40 to Monterey, TN to spend the day with Josh & Becca. They chose the beautiful mountain bluff of Bee Rock as the location for their wedding ceremony and reception. The Garden Inn at Bee Rock was a gorgeous retreat for the entire family and wedding party to stay the night before the wedding, and for all of the preparation for the day.
Here’s Josh and Becca. Aren’t they so cute? We had a great time together.
I can’t say enough about Becca’s thoughtful attention to detail for this wedding. You’ll see in the slideshow below, that there were many many little things that made the event great. One thing she special for her Mom and Josh’s Mom was to have the flowers they carried for the ceremony be mini versions of their own wedding bouquets. Isn’t that sweet? The Moms were speechless when they were told about the surprise.
A great shot of Becca by Kyle - my second shooter for the day.
I still hold firm that rose petals make the most beautiful photos if you are exiting during daylight hours. Kyle took this one as well - we had identical shots from different angles but I am featuring his because of the wider angle. Check out the expressions of all the people throwing their petals.
When I first met Josh & Becca about a year ago, they told me about their plans to spend the night at the Hermitage Hotel in downtown Nashville for their wedding night. We decided then to meet downtown for a quick photo session at night before they headed in to begin their honeymoon. This is one of my favorite shots that we got on Legislative Plaza in front of the War Memorial Auditorium.

We had a great day. It was so laid back and really fun to be with this group of folks. Kyle and I had a fun time - here’s a quick snap of us overlooking Bee Rock at 9AM when we arrived - it was still chilly then!

Wheliss Kids, Family Portraits in Belle Meade
October 18, 2007 | Filed Under kids | Leave a Comment
Last Fall I donated a Portrait Session package to the Silent Auction at the Bethany Annual Dinner. I was so excited when my domestic adoption social worker Shelby was the winning bidder! Hard to believe with the events of the last year that it took us a full 11 months to actually complete the session! But 30 minutes at the entrance to Percy Warner Park in Belle Meade, and we created some awesome pictures of the Wheliss kids!
Here’s Ryland, the oldest at age 11, with his real smile
John Hill, with a knowing almost 8 year-old smirk
Beautiful Nora, almost 4, in her red bow and shiny shoes
These kids did every single thing I asked them to do without one single “ew gross” or having to be fussed at by Mom. It was perfect.
Our favorite
Nora couldn’t wait to get her hands on my Norah. After every group of photos, she would say “Now can I go and play with the baby?” and when we told her yes, she took off in a flash!
Here’s Shelby with Norah. Thank you so much Shelby for everything you did to support us on our journey towards Norah. We appreciate you.
Big thanks to my friend Amanda for coming along to play with Norah while we were shooting this session. It was fun chatting with you today!
