Sophia, 6 Month Photos in Smyrna
November 6, 2007 | Filed Under babies | 6 Comments
Have you ever seen such a sweet face?
Meet Miss Sophia, a bright-eyed and happy 6 month old baby girl who has style like you wouldn’t believe.
Sophia’s family owns the Poshtachio Patch, a children’s boutique here in Smyrna. If you’re ever looking for something adorable for your child to wear…this is the place to go!
This bench that Sophia is sitting on is a family heirloom. It dates back to the 1800’s.
Nothing like drooling on an antique to start your day!
I think this might be my favorite shot from the day. Sophia’s nursery is a designer’s dream. Doesn’t she look so fancy in her bed with her jewelry and Baby Bling headband?
Sophia wanted me to remind everyone that there are only 48 shopping days left until Christmas. Santa needs your help.
Krystal, I truly enjoyed spending time with you and Sophia today. Thank you for inviting me into your home for our session. Hope you enjoy this little sneak peek!
Beckey Twins, 9 Month Photos

The Beckey’s are such a sweet family. This is a collage of photos I took of them when they were just a few weeks old.
Look how much they have grown! They are 9 months old and such fun babies.
Tiny twin toes
Mr. Asher
Miss Lilly
You’d never know that Asher was sitting in this chair and just decided to fall forward onto the ground and crawl away…he is pretty brave.
Lilly was more cautious, holding on and enjoying things more carefully.
I love this photo of Amy and Lilly. 
Another family shot with the warm sun flare. It was a beautiful Fall day.
Brad and Amy, thanks for coming out to play today!
Hadley Jane, 18 Month Portraits in Smyrna
November 4, 2007 | Filed Under babies, kids | Leave a Comment
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I took this photo of beautiful Hadley Jane.
We met out at the Sam Davis Home for Hadley’s 18 Month session this past week. It was great weather and we actually found some Fall leaves there!
Love this
Hadley is a happy girl, but it usually takes her a little while to warm up to me since we don’t see each other often. We played a little peek-a-boo and she was all smiles.
Love these in this sweater too.
How cute is this shirt?
Jodi & Josh - you are so sweet to have allowed me to spend this year with you guys and Hadley! Congratulations on the addition of baby Gus and on your new job! Hope to see you again soon!

Remember these guys from a few posts back? Well Norah and I spent the day with the girls on Friday and had a few minutes to photograph little Mary Elizabeth.
Does ths dress look familiar? We were happy to share!
This outfit was made for M.E. by her interim care mother. It is so pure and simple and I love these images.
Brea & Jonathan, thanks for sharing your family with me!

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.
A day in the life of Sydney Laine, 4 months old
September 17, 2007 | Filed Under babies, family, kids | Leave a Comment
It’s happening.
My wedding clients have started having babies. I feel like a proud Auntie as I watch these wonderful families grow.
Everyone knows Jeremy & Nickie from their first dance below, since it has been one of my signature images since it was shot last July.
Saturday morning, I got the honor of joining these two at their home in Memphis as they woke up their sweet 4 month old baby girl Sydney and got her day started.
We got in a little pajama time 
Changing into her play clothes for the day. Sydney was born on my fifth wedding anniversary, which was 3 weeks before Norah was born. It will be so fun to see them grow together.
Hanging out as a family in the den
Sydney is a champ in her exersaucer
Rolling around on the floor with Daddy. This is one of my favorite shots. Sydney can almost roll from her back to her tummy but that arm gets in the way!
A snack break was in order. Jeremy & Nickie were telling me that Sydney always puts her hands up like this when she is taking her bottle.
Another favorite
A little more tummy time.
Since the weather is finally bearable once again, we had to run outside for a minute to play.
This is such a typical dad thing to do…I love it.
Jeremy & Nickie, what a pleasure it was to see you in your home with your daughter this weekend. And thank you so much for the embroidered burp cloths with Norah’s name on them - that is too sweet of you to think of her! To register to see this complete gallery when it is available, click here.
Adie’s 9 Month Portraits
September 14, 2007 | Filed Under babies, kids | 3 Comments
I traveled to little Miss Adie’s (said like “lady”) house in Morrison yesterday for some 9 month portraits. I knew we were going to be a great fit for each other when her Mom Marian stepped outside to greet me, and we were both wearing our Chuck Taylor’s and the same pair of jeans! Anyway, Jason and Adie were hanging out inside, so I headed in to see what they were doing.
Adie was playing around in the family room. She is such a beautiful girl. You can’t even tell that she wasn’t feeling that great.
Aren’t they a sweet family?
We stepped outside for a few shots. The sky was so blue, the grass so green and the air was fresh and comfortable. It was almost surreal after the scorching summer we’ve had.
We went back inside to calm things down a bit. Adie loves to be read to.
My favorite photo from the whole session! Adie looks like she is telling us a secret!
OK another favorite
Adie’s room is straight out of Pottery Barn Kids catalog, with several personal touches. The tree on the wall is beautiful, but from what I understand a labor of love to get it up there.
Steph got to work with Adie a few months back, so to see how much she has grown, click here.
Marian & Jason - thank you for welcoming me into your home for this session. It was so much fun! Hope to see y’all again soon.
Hank’s Newborn Photos
September 13, 2007 | Filed Under babies, family, kids | 3 Comments
I got to take some pictures of my nephew Hank at one week old on Wednesday. He is already wearing size one diapers, so he was hardly small, but he is still a new baby. He didn’t much curl left in him though. Some of these pics look like a 2 month old laying there!
As soon as I saw these stars I instantly wanted to take this picture.
Sweet baby boy. He loves doing this with his lips.
My sister-in-law Shai is one of the most beautiful girls I know. She would never admit it or act like it, but she lights up a room with her smile and sparkly eyes, and her genuine care for others. I could cry now…but Shai I am so thankful that we are “sisters” and that we get to raise these little babies together. I love you! Done crying now.
love this
Jason couldn’t wait to read to Hank from the Dangerous Book for Boys
a favorite. Jason loves to nibble Hank’s ear…

This is a sweet little monogrammed outfit

Corwin’s 3 Month Portraits
August 20, 2007 | Filed Under babies | 5 Comments
Tis the season for babies. I went to Corwin’s house in Smyrna for his 3 month portrait session last week. He is such a sweet boy who loves his Mama. Here’s a picture of Corwin and Tracie snuggling together.
Corwin’s nursery is very cool in brown and green. 
Corwin was a good sport and stayed awake for our traditional shots that will be used in his baby panel (3, 6, 9 and 12 month shots all framed together), but once he fell asleep, I kept on shooting. This is very common for newborn and 3 month sessions - awake and asleep photos.
Sweet little tiny feet.
You’ll be seeing a lot more of Corwin and his family over the next couple of years. I also love that Corwin is the first in a long line of 3 month olds that I will be photographing in the next several weeks, including Norah. It’s cool to know that these will be the kids that will grow up and become great friends with my baby girl.
