Sweet Caroline is growing up so fast and speaking of fast, I literally had run to keep up with her during our session the other day. =) I agree with her mother. She is probably the most active one year old I’ve ever photographed. It was a challenge but I am so happy with the images!

As we were ending our session, Caroline found a puddle of water. Because it was so hot and humid outside, her mama let her play. What an adorable face!

Thank you again for allowing me to make art for you!

As a photographer I am constantly on the lookout for good products and tools to use in my business. Design Aglow has become one of my favorite resources when it comes to fresh ideas and great advice for photographers.

Recently, I submitted one of my “dirty little secrets” to DA for an article they were putting together. My secret was included in Issue No. 8, The Essential Issue, and can be found on page 59! How fun!

You won’t want to miss the interviews with Julia Woods or Jasmine Star or Huy Nguyen.

Last week many Nashvillians came out to Rocketown to support our dear friend Ruthie by attending the Benefit Concert and Silent Auction. Ruthie asked Cade and I to document the evening with photos. We were thrilled to take our gear and do what we love as a gift for her!

Fox 17 News interviewed Ruthie and also captured some footage of the concert.

There were many amazing musicians that played during the 4 hour event. You really should check out Brooke Waggoner.

Erin McCarley sang one of the most catchy tunes all evening, a special request from Ruthie herself.

For the first time, even though I’ve been a fan since I was a little girl, I saw Sixpence None the Richer live. So fun!

Leigh Nash still has the most amazing voice!

Will, Ruthie’s husband, plays drums for Sixpence and he did a fantastic job as always!

Towards the end of the evening, Ruthie expressed her gratitude to everyone for supporting her. She dedicated the evening to her father, who passed away a few weeks ago.

After the event, we found out that over $20,000 was raised. Awesome!!! We are so honored to be a part of such a close and giving community! We are also really excited to work with the family that won our portrait session through the silent auction!

Please keep Ruthie in your prayers as she and Will continue to look for a doctor who will perform her surgery!!

There are some serious dog lovers here in East Nashville. Beaudalaire and Ernie, our neighbor’s babies, are some of the cutest and most friendly pugs I’ve ever seen.
