Congratulations Brittany & Andy! On Saturday, May 3, I had the incredible opportunity to assist and learn from two of Chattanooga's finest photographers, Liz and Terry Power. Brittany and Andy were married at Bayside Baptist Church and the reception was held at the Marriott downtown. The entire day was a fabulous experience for me and I want to thank both Liz & Terry and Brittany & Andy for allowing me to be a part of this very special day. 
Tuesday evening I met up with Dallas and her adorable grandchildren Cailyn and Colby. We found a great outdoor location to photograph Cailyn in her Christening Gown. The beautiful long gown was made by Dallas and it is gorgeous! Cailyn is walking now which made things a little interesting, but I think we captured some great images. Colby came along for the fun too and enjoyed discovering the outdoors. Thanks Dallas for the opportunity to photograph your family and to your daughter Lauren for her help! 
Tuesday I had the privilege of photographing one of my moms, Jaime, with her two little ones for another Mother's Day Session. We did this last year and check out how much they have grown! Jaime is a wonderful mom to Charlie and Will, they have such a great relationship. I loved hanging out and look forward to next time!
Happy Mother's Day Mom! Sunday was a memorable day for our family, we celebrated both my mom and my sister as mothers and remembered our Grandma. Last year on this day we went out to the same farm and photographed all the women in our family for the last time. Those pictures have provided some of the best memories for us and we thought what better way to remember our grandmother on Mother's Day than to take little Jack and do pictures again. Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mom and my sister as she celebrates her 1st Mother's Day.... and to my grandma I love you!
Today was Caleb's 1st Birthday Party and all the boys were there for the fun! I had to grab a group picture of all my nephews (L-R: Jack, Kelsey, Christian, Caleb). Thanks Sean & Leslie, Mark & Tara, Stacey & Laura for making me an AUNT! It is the most fun!
Today, my sister Leslie, Jack, and I headed out to a friend's farm to find some baby chicks and bunnies. Jack sported his Easter outfit (made by Grammy) and even through the rain we captured some pictures...those not posted included Jack about killing the chicks. We had an incredible visit with chickens, donkeys, horses, birds, dogs, bunnies, and goats! I look forward to visiting the farm again when Jack is a little bigger. Thanks to Steve for allowing us to come!
Yesterday, I spent some time with two of my nephews, Kelsey & Christian. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph them as they live in Woodberry, TN making sessions difficult to schedule at times. We had a great time at the park and even found some water to wet our feet in. Kelsey is 6, loves football, and is very energetic...great at math too (as evidenced by math problem solving in the car)! Mr. Christian is almost 3, sweet, shy, and maybe a little mischievous at heart. Mark & Tara, your boys are wonderful and I am so happy to be their aunt. Love you guys!
