Out on the Farm

I met this lovely family in Lascassas at their family farm on Sunday. I loved loved loved this location! For those of you who know me personally, know I grew up in Lascassas. It is a place I hold dear to my heart and I can remember going back on this very farm to swim in the river as a child. Being out there again brought back so many fun memories! The weather tried very hard to blow us away, but we stuck through and got some great shots. Check them out!

Annie Louise

I could say a lot about this precious baby I photographed this morning, but to sum it up in one word... ADORABLE! See for yourself....

This tutu was made by Annie's mother and grandmother. They are so crafty! I fell in love with the mobile in Annie's room. Her grandmother made it for her and I really wish I had snapped a photo of it so you could have seen the cuteness and talent for yourself. I was amazed! To see more of their work go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Murfreesboro-TN/Mattie-Mae-Designs/142453774048?ref=ts

Stay tuned for more of Annie! Her 3 month shoot will be in December! :)

Dr. Benjamin K. Jamison, DDS and Staff

 I had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours with Dr. Benjamin Jamison, DDS and his staff in the park last week. Which was odd, because normally my time with them is spent in the dentist chair.  Our goal at the shoot was to get head shots for their up and coming website. I hope they agree with me because I feel we were extremely successful. I had so much fun working with them on this shoot. They are all full of personality and spunk! They really make a great team and Dr. Jamison is the sweetest most attentive dentist you can find. Not only is he good at his profession, but I can attest that he cares for more than just his patients teeth. If you are in need of a dentist I highly recommend you call (615) 893-6123 to schedule an appointment. His courteous staff will be more than willing to get you all the information you need. Their office location is 1211 Leaf Ave Murfreesboro, TN.

Now, check out Dr. Jamison and his fantastic staff!

Meet Remi...

 

If you stop by Gateway Mechanical on Lascasasas Pike you are likely to be greeted by this adorable pup. He spends most of his day there with his owner and President of the company, Jeff. I had the pleasure of taking Remi for the morning to capture him in his youth. My labrador, Kiya, is turning twelve this December and I had honestly forgotten what it was like to have a puppy around. Remi and I had a blast! It was one of those shoots that took patience, however, during it I thought several times how lucky I am to have such an awesome job. I feel very fortunate to be doing what I love and throwing another love into the mix (dogs) made it an even better work day! Check out how cute this little guy is and keep your eyes peeled for him in the future. He may become to Gateway what the Gecko is to Geico! ;)

 

  Most of my clients don't eat the backdrop when they are tired of shooting. Remi, however, got his point across!

Jen and Dan Wedding *10-10-10*

This DIY wedding took place at Dan's family home in Eagelville, TN. From the fantastic date to the down home country feel, this wedding couldn't have been any more perfect. 

 My favorite ceremony shot! Look how happy in love she is! 

 Jen made her cake, bridesmaid dresses, hair pieces, and much much more. She is one talented lady and those DIY touches made their wedding so unique and special!

My favorite part of the whole day was Dan and Jen's first dance.  They danced to Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. I am a huge fan of that song and it was a fantastic way to get the party started! 

You can hear the song here.. 
 


 I loved that they asked everyone to join in at the end of the song. It was unbelievably heartwarming to see their closest friends and family dance around them screaming at the top of their lungs that, "Home is wherever I'm with you!".  It was incredibly beautiful and another great touch added to a spectacular day.

Congratulations again Jen and Dan! I am so very honored I got to be a part of your special day and I hope you enjoy the sneak peek! :)

What to wear: 
Please plan on one outfit for your photos. You all can wear something dressy, holiday inspired or casual, whichever suits your taste!

A little advice...
Avoid dressing the family in matching “uniforms”. Coordinated looks for families create a much more pleasing photograph. Try choosing a unifying color mixed with neutrals in various ways to mix things up, but still give your family continuity.
Use patterns, textures and layers to add visual interest. Textured fabrics, such as denim, cable knits, linen, and corduroy, photograph beautifully. Layers can be added and removed to create different looks in minimal time.

Only 4 slots available so BOOK NOW!
