Simpson Family 2012 - sneak peek {Kingsport TN Family Photographer}

Fun would be an understatement to describe this family...  I said at least five times throughout the session, "I wish someone was taking a video of this..."  I don't even know where to start!  I met Mom and Amanda when we did Amanda's senior portraits last August.  You can see her sneak peek by clicking {HERE}.  We finally were able to nail down and date and get this family some pictures - it's been FIVE years since their last one!!  Thanks for an awesome time and lots of laughs!  Enjoy your sneak peek!!

Brian + Liz = love - sneak peek {Tri-Cities, TN Photographer}

We had such a great time last night at Maple Lane Farm shooting Brian and Liz's engagement session.  Every time I do an engagement session I remember why I love them so much...  Brian and Liz hardly even knew I was there - they couldn't take their eyes off each other.  They were relaxed and natural and oh - so in love!!  Capturing that connection between two people is so rewarding... I love it!!!!  I'm looking forward to shooting their wedding at the beginning of June - and from the time I spent with the two of them (ahem, one in particular) I have a feeling that the wedding is going to be lots of fun!!  Congratulations to the both of you - it's obvious that you have a wonderful future ahead of you!!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Baby Brayden - sneak peek {Tri-Cities TN Newborn Photographer}

Oh boy did Mr. Brayden give us a run for our MONEY!!!!  He made me work hard for these pictures - but of course it's all worth it!  The first go-round he just wasn't in the mood for pictures, and we caught him at the wrong time of day... so the second time around, we were all much more prepared!  He's one of the most alert newborns I have ever worked with... and also one of the cutest.  I shot Brayden's aunt's wedding and was so excited to hear that he was coming!  Thanks for sticking it out guys, and enjoy your sneak peek of your sweet baby boy!

Debbie + Richie = Married! sneak peek {Tri-Cities, TN Photographer}

It was truly fate that I happened upon photographing this sweet couple's big day last weekend...  I was doing some promoting for my Spring Mini Sessions when I walked into Bear N Friends Toy Shoppe in Johnson City.  I had been in there before with my kids and Debbie's face was a familiar one.  As I was telling her about the mini sessions, she asked, "Do you photograph weddings?"  I told her that I didn't anymore.  "Do you know anyone who does?"  "Do you know someone getting married?" I asked.  "Yes." she said, "Me!"  That's how it all began!!

I don't know if I've ever photographed a couple who was so in love!!  When we were taking the group pictures, I could hardly get them to stop kissing and look at the camera!!  There are so many more awesome images, but I had to narrow it down for the sneak peek.  Here's a little glimpse into Debbie and Richie's ceremony!!  Congrats you two!

Behind the Scenes at Revolution Dance & Gymnastics Pictures 2012

I had a blast working with Dan Westover from Milestone Pictures while shooting the cuties at Revolution Dance & Gymnastics!  He put together this awesome video at a preview to the video he'll be doing for their recital.  I love it!!!!  I'm working on talking Dan into doing an event together sometime in the future... I'm thinking fall mini sessions or something along those lines??  Stay tuned!!  Enjoy!

It's recital season at Revolution Dance and Gymnastics! This past weekend the dancers came to the studio in their costumes for a fun photo shoot with Brandilyn Davidson Photography. It's always awesome to work with Brandy, and I thought it would be fun to capture the shoot on video as a lead-up to the actual recital on May 18th. I was joking with Kate and Stephanie that they must have a rule that only adorable girls can dance at their studio because wow, what a bunch of cuties! Hopefully this video will get everyone excited for the recital DVD. You can pre-order DVDs at Revolution for a reduced price from now up until the night of the recital. After the 18th they will be available at the regular price. See you at the recital!

Revolution Dance & Gymnastics Pictures 2012 - sneak peek

I had such a blast with all of the sweet and adorable girls at Revolution Dance & Gymnastics this weekend.  The costumes were amazing, the girls were perfect and we managed to have fun too!!  I think I scared some of the girls when I asked them if I could eat their fingers or toes, haha!  But even with me being the crazy, silly lady that I am, they were all super cooperative and well-behaved and like I mentioned before, so sweet!!  

I had the pleasure of working with videographer Dan Westover of Milestone Pictures, who is working on a preview video for the upcoming recital and is going to incorporate some footage from picture time...  I can't wait to see it!

Thanks again to everyone who helped and was involved in making this year's dance pictures a huge success!!  I'm looking forward to next year's already!  Enjoy these images - DISCLAIMER: total cuteness below.  =)

These cutie pies are not only STINKIN' adorable - but they are talented too!!  Their recital is May 19th - so stay tuned for images from that too!  If you'd like to join in the Revolution Dance & Gymnastics fun - check out their website {CLICK HERE} or Facebook fan page {CLICK HERE}

We had SO. MUCH. FUN. yesterday at the Serendipity Spring Mini Sessions!!  The weather was gorgeous, in fact it got hot later in the afternoon!!  All the craziness of rescheduling paid off.  It was awesome to see some of my favorites families and how their sweet kiddos have grown and to meet some amazing new families too!!  I love, love, love my clients!!  Of course you know I'm going to overpost... narrowing things down is has never been one of my strong suits.  Here are a few of my favorites - enjoy these and feel free to share with your friends and family!!

Baby Addison - sneak peek {Kingsport TN Newborn Photographer}

I have had so many sweet babies in the studio lately!!  And they keep coming!  It's so much fun thinking of new ideas and ways to show off these precious new souls to the world.  Addison was a sweetheart and did awesome.  Once I finally got her into a deep sleep, there was no waking her!!  Mom and Dad were troopers - withstanding hours in the heat!!!  There are so many great images it was hard to hold back and not post them all!!!!  Welcome to the world sweet Addison - you're lucky to have such great parents (and family) who care about you so much!  Enjoy the sneak peek and remember...
