Julie and Nick are expecting their first baby any day now. I am one of those people that think baby-bellies are the cutest thing ever and therefore I *heart* maternity sessions!

Together we headed out early one morning to get some pre-baby shots. There is no doubt in my mind that Julie and Nick are going to be amazing parents. Evan, you are one lucky baby! =)

Just a few of my favorites:

I am so excited to meet the little guy. Keep me posted…

Beth - Thanks for the referral! I am honored.

BTW - all lens flare and sun rays were shot in camera. This does not get added in photoshop. =)

Libby was a very entertaining and sweet little girl to photograph. As we moved from location to location, she would talk about any and everything. I think she would make a fabulous story teller.

I bet life is never dull when she is around. =)

Libby and her mom.

Daddy.

These are just a few of my favorites but I’ve got more. =)

George has a brilliant and creative mother! When she contacted me for a portrait session, I could tell that she put a lot of thought into photos of her family. She told me that in her dining room there was a framed collection of 3 black and white photos of each of her older sons, taken when they were about 2 years old, inside a black frame with a white mat board. Needless to say, I think the idea is fabulous! So stylish (did someone say Pottery Barn?) but so personal. I love it and I am so proud of this mom for coming up with this idea at least seven years ago!

Now it is George’s turn to be featured in one of these collections.

Isn’t he a cutey?

George and his brothers. So fun!

I haven’t had the chance to photograph many high school seniors but if all of them are like Orion, then sign me up!!

Last week we headed to one of my favorite locations to shoot: downtown Nashville. What a fun. Orion was up for anything I wanted to try… which, to be totally honest, makes my day!! (Yes, it’s true. The more you trust me and the more freedom I have during a shoot, the better.)

Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

Orion: Thanks for being so much fun and for trusting me. You rock!!
