I love portrait sessions that aren’t necessarily about any particular life event but “just because we want it”. How fun! These two are so cute together!

Most of the leaves around Nashville are now on the ground. Fall is coming to an end and I can’t believe we are in December already! Don’t forget to check out our facebook fan group for news on the LAST sale for 2009!

We ended our 2009 wedding season photographing the amazing Melanie & Clayton! As we began planning all of the details for the coverage of their October wedding, they made it very clear how important it was that we have lots of time for portraits before the ceremony. In fact, they even rented a trolley bus to drive the entire bridal party (plus us) to the four different locations Melanie had picked out ahead of time. For 2 and a half hours, we had complete creative freedom to do what we wanted. Cade and I were in “portrait heaven” and everyone was having a blast! So fun!

Clayton & Melanie: We had a blast working with you and your friends/family! It was a fabulous day and we am so excited for you both! Thank you again for fully trusting us and our creative ideas. You are a photographer’s dream!

Canvas Gallery Wraps make me SO happy! The modern simplicity of their design allow the images to get all of the attention while brightening any room where they are hung. In our home, we have wraps resting on our mantle but they can also be arranged in groups and hung on the wall. Don’t you agree that these displays by Anna Mayer and Angela Weedon look absolutely gorgeous?

So next time you place an order, let’s create a stunning wall collection together. Each set can be completely customized based on the wall space available in your home.

And don’t forget our holiday deadline for ordering canvases is THIS Friday at 5 PM!

In just a few days we will announce the LAST sale for 2009 on our facebook group. Have you joined? Don’t miss it!

I can hardly believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means Christmas is coming soon and 2009 is almost over. We are preparing to wrap up our fall season with one more set of mini sessions. There’s the 411:

Who: great for families, kids, a couple, a pet… you name it! Up to 4 individuals
When: Saturday morning, December 5th
Where: The mini sessions will take place in an urban setting complete with great brick walls and fun buildings
Cost: $50

All of the mini sessions will run back to back and take place at the same location. Each session will begin at the time scheduled and end exactly 30 minutes later. It is extremely important that you are on time since your session will begin and end promptly. Once the mini-sessions are done, we will schedule a personal viewing and ordering session so that you can place your print/canvas gallery wrap/album orders. No products are included in the mini-session fee.

Call or email to reserve your mini session!

*Prints ordered from these mini sessions will be delivered before Christmas, but albums and canvas gallery wraps might not.

I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am about these images. Mommy and Daddy are so in love with their little girl and you can see it in their eyes. Just look at how tiny and perfect baby Eloise is!

Thank you so much for spending an afternoon with me and my camera!

A few weeks ago Michelle and Michael got married in the lovely Cheekwood Herb Garden. To our delight, they choose to see each other before the ceremony and we set up an intimate “first look”. Then we had a blast walking around the beautiful grounds finding wonderful places for portraits. They are one good looking couple!

Their reception began on the back patio of the Frist Learning Center. One of the many beverages they served was hot cider and it went perfect with the chilly, fall weather!

Then the guests were invited inside the tent where fun music and great food awaited them. It was a wonderful evening of celebration! Flowers by The East Garden
