Norris Family Photos in Smyrna
October 1, 2008 | Filed Under family, kids | Leave a Comment
It’s been too long since I got to photograph the Norris Family. I am so glad it worked out for us to hook up for a quick session while they were in town for the weekend! I love the images we were able to create - they braved wearing sweaters even though it was 85+ degrees, since these images might pop up on a Christmas card and they wanted to look Fall/Winter-y! I don’t blame them - I am so tired of my summer clothes. I’m ready for some sweater weather.
Will is almost 3 and he is such a sweet boy. I have been taking his picture since about 5 minutes after he was born.
He decided to allow his parents to be in a few with him.
And I love this one - affectionately, the dog pile! He’s three - you have to do what it takes.
Love you guys!
Chapman Family Photos in Murfreesboro

I’ve decided to share a few more photos than usual in this blog post. Comes with the territory when you’re sharing from a family photo with eight people in it I guess!
Isn’t this a great choice of clothing for a family portrait? It was no easy task for Yolanda I know, but she did a fabulous job helping everyone coordinate but not match exactly. I am so proud.
And, because I imagine in a big family it could be easy to feel lost in the shuffle at times, I am including an individual shot of everyone. You all look great!
Lydia
Izzy
Abby
Bethany
Canaan
Jordan
Yolanda
and Jim Chapman
Ha! You can imagine how easy it might have been to get a non-silly photo of Jim…but I managed.
Thank you guys! I had a blast.
Celebrating Adoption - Two Year Old
July 24, 2008 | Filed Under celebrating adoption, family, kids | Leave a Comment
When you’re two, you don’t care if it is hot outside. You just want to go to the playground.
This sweet little guy was joined by his Mom and Grandparents. You’d never know that Grandpa is over 80 years old by the way he ran around and climbed up and down with his grandson.
We went walking on the boardwalk for a few quiet moments with Mommy.
Thanks for letting me celebrate your adoption with you! We love you guys!

The last time I photographed little Owen was about two years ago when he was only 6 months old.
Fast forward to today - what a handsome guy!
Owen and his parents and grandparents came out to Turner Farms today for a lifestyle family photo session in the great outdoors. It was pretty miserable really hot, so I thank y’all for hanging in there with me. Did I mention it was hot?
Owen is two and a half…enough said. We had our work cut out for us but I think we accomplished the goal!
Racing with dad, one of Owen’s favorite things to do.

Sweet little family
Owen and I had a long discussion about the movie Cars in this photo
This child is so beautiful. Truly truly beautiful.
I would like to point out the clothing selections that this group (Emily) chose for today’s session. They are bright, cheery, summery and well coordinated but not identical. Great job! Thanks again for coming to see me today!

Addie & Jadyn love their tropical garden goldfish shirts from Gymboree. This was the perfect idea to capture them together!

June 14, 2008 | Filed Under celebrating adoption, kids | Leave a Comment It’s amazing to me to see all of these sweet babies growing up right before my eyes. Here’s Jadyn last September, when she had just been home with Pat and Amy for 3 months. And here she is now, after just turning two in April! Amy made this beautiful dress - and I LOVE it. Amy’s talents in sewing are soon to be available to the public, so hop on over to her blog to be on the list to own one of her beautiful creations!

She will have been a part of this family for a year this weekend. We spent some time laughing and playing today at her grandparents’ home in Belle Meade to create this sweet collection of images.

He had only been home a few months, and he was a little under the weather, but he still managed to turn on the charm for us and we got some great images.
Shelly contacted me for a Celebrating Adoption session and I couldn’t wait to see how much he had grown! Thanks so much for having me over. We had a blast. We read books. We played in Drew’s room. We played with Bear. We made a little mischief. We laughed. We played outside. We used irises for swords. It was grand.
Drew, I can’t wait to see you again soon buddy.

PS. Drew’s Mom just sent me this picture. I would rather cuddle with Drew in my lap than take his picture any day! Hope we can get our kids together to play really soon.
