Beautiful people in beautiful light. Love it.

I’ll give you one guess what university they go to…

The sun came back out to light up the beautiful fall colors!

One of my favorites!

We then went to a train yard and played around on the tracks.

Love this one!

Really fun shot. I normally don’t post blurry pics but since Catherine is in focus you can forgive me.

I love clients who aren’t afraid to do the crazy things that pop in my head!

Absolutely love this shot! 

Asked Marcus if he knew how to dip a girl and he definitely showed me that he knew quite well.

I had a blast with both of you and I can’t wait till your wedding coming up next year!  But until then…

Enjoy your slideshow!

That’s the palette I had to work with on Saturday. The Wheatcroft family and I had an incredible time!  Brett, Beth and their kids met me at the Chickamauga Battlefields to take in the incredible scenery that is there right now.  Incredible!

I seriously had a hard time getting the images I edit for the blog to a reasonable level. I loved so many of them. So be sure to check out the slideshow on the bottom!

What a fun family!

After doing several family shots, we starting getting “used to each other” and everyone loosened up and starting having a lot of fun!  This is the point that I love my families to get to - and I start documenting who they really are as a family as they interact and enjoy each other!

Leaves and kids go so well together!

So cute!

Yeah, they definitely made some cute kids!

Here I was running with them. I have no idea how I got this shot. Ha! It’s perfect.

Had to grab a few of Beth and Brett alone. 

Absolutely love this shot!

Thank you again for allowing me to document your beautiful family!

Enjoy your slideshow!

Here are some of my favorites!

It’s always so fun seeing Scott interact with his little daughter!

She was absolutely fascinated with the balloons!

Fun at the neighborhood playground.

Love little man Levi in his sweater. He really wanted to do his thing instead of joining us.  It was hard to convince him that the party was with US!

I love this photo!  So cool.

Lily Kate doing what she does best… being cute.

Kristy’s sister made both cakes and they were amazingly well done!

The birthday girl surrounded by all of her loot.

Here is Lily Kate’s cake. Like I said before, it was a masterpiece… while it lasted. It started off like this…

Then it went to this….

This was the first time Lily Kate has had sugar. It was love at first bite.

Love turned into an obsession. Fingers weren’t feeding her fast enough!

End result:

She’s quite proud of herself. 

After we hosed her off, here’s mom and daughter having fun opening gifts!

Thanks guys for allowing me to be the only “non-family” there to document this momentous occasion!

We started off at her “Tennessee Mother’s” house for a wedding day brunch before going to get her hair and makeup done. So many of her friends came up from Ft. Lauderdale! It was great seeing all of the support.

Check out some of the pictures from the day:

Beautiful dress hanging in a beautiful room in the beautiful Stone Fort Inn.

Rachel got her makeup done at the always amazing Elea Blake. 

Love this photo.  Her really cool shoes before she put on…

these shoes.

We were going to be doing the guys portraits at a local park but since it was raining we had to get creative… so a parking garage it was!  I love how they turned out.

Todd’s brave groomsmen.

The beautiful Rachel in her dress.

Love this shot.  It was pointed out to me that Rachels dad is standing in the mirror.  Which made this photo about 10 times cooler. 

Rachel’s beautiful bridesmaids.  Fun!

One of the most beautiful cakes I’ve seen in a while. It was so perfect, it looked fake.  Incredible.

Here’s Todd right before the ceremony started. Nervously pacing back and forth as Rachel’s dad looks on.

During the ceremony.

The father/daughter dance.  One of the most incredible dads you’ll ever meet.

Officially Todd and Rachel Reeves!  

Enjoy your slideshow!

On Friday, I had the immense pleasure of documenting Todd and Rachel’s wedding! What a fun couple!

Then on Saturday morning, I was invited to photograph little Lily Kates 1st birthday party!

Then on Saturday afternoon, I got to hang around the Wheatcroft family at the battlefields!

On Sunday, Marcus and Catherine had their engagement shoot. So much fun!

Then on Monday, I got to hang out with the Rickard family. Jim, the 19 year old son who is in the Navy will be going over seas on Saturday.

Wow… I have my work cut out for me!  I’ll be getting each individual posts up as soon as I can!

Both Josh and Erin are such naturals in front of the camera. We got to a late start but they acclimated very quickly!

Beautiful couple!

I absolutely adore this shot. Love it!

Another favorite. This couple is so cool!  Check out the rim light around them.  Beautiful.

The photo that messes with your head. Look at it long enough and you’ll figure it out.

Beautiful Meredith and Maddie!

I absolutely loved seeing the interaction between Nick and Maddie. It’s always fun to see dads having fun with their daughters!

They go to ride the carousel EVERY Saturday. Maddie absolutely loves riding it multiple times.  Sometimes up to 8 times! 

What a beautiful family!

Jenna has the prettiest eyes.  Don’t you agree?

Father and daughter running to the next spot… back to grandma who was sitting patiently at the fountain.

Jenna’s grandmother was visiting from California. I loved seeing the interaction between these two!

Love this one!  I’m a softie when it comes to dads spending time with their daughters.

Doesn’t get much better than this.  Not staged at all.  Just capturing a genuine moment.

This is the start of the next session. I love the sun flare in this one!

Like most kids, Jenna absolutely loves swinging. I was glad to be able capture it!

The clouds completely make these next several photos.  Incredible light, incredible clouds and incredible family. Could I go wrong?

I’ve got to remember to dust my clients backs off after they’ve been laying in the grass.  Oh well.  I love this photo anyway!

My favorite photo of the day. What a sweet moment between mom and daughter.  Gorgeous.

Seriously one good looking couple!

Fun running down the street.  It was a way for me to burn more calories as well.  :)

By this time, I just told them to do their thing and they were coming up with stuff like this.  Hello!

Capturing a moment on the bridge.

Josh and Stephanie, I so enjoyed hanging out with you for a couple of hours. I seriously had a blast. You two make a great team and I’m so excited about photographing your wedding next year! But until then…

I loved watching them interact with each other.  One of my favorite parts of this job is to work with people who are totally in love with each other.  These two are crazy for each other!

This is probably one of my all time favorite photos. It’s absolutely perfect.  I want to see this one blown up huge!

They make a beautiful couple, don’t they!?!?

We then went downtown to explore for a little while. It’s starting to get a bit chilly at night and Kelly was a trooper!

Love this photo!

Kelly and Lucas!  I’m so glad you chose me to be your photographer.  I absolutely loved working with you and can’t wait to document your wedding day!  It can’t come soon enough!
