Freckles and Spikey Hair

Finally, more photos to share... These photos are from Thanksgiving Day. My beautiful cousin had a blast playing with my adorable nephew, so I have a few photos to share of them. And really, on this photo of Emily, I can't take all the credit.. Jax wanted to take a picture with my camera, so I held the camera as he looked through the viewfinder and I asked, "Can you see Emily through it?" The reply came, "Yes." To which I responded by putting his finger on the shutter button and told him to go for it.. and this was the result, a beautiful photo of my beautiful cousin!

Jaxon's spikey hair for Thanksgiving!

I love it! He really is too cute!

The color of his eyes is amazing.

Mr. & Mrs. Bates

I have finally completed the Hall-Bates Wedding photos. I know it took me quite a while, but there were a lot of photos to go through! I am so happy for them and I wish Amanda and Bryan and their family the absolute best!

I have uploaded more photos to their album on Myspace, so click HERE and click on "view my:pics" and look for the album labeled "Bryan & Amanda"

WCMS Cheerleaders

This is a sneek peak at some photos I was able to take of the Warren County Middle School Cheerleading Squad. This was a first for me. I had never taken any group photos, but I had a lot of fun with these girls, especially at the end when they were just hanging out with their friends and having fun and just being themselves, without the poses and the "ok, smile on 3...". I hope they are happy with the way they turned out, and I will admit that the group shots, I like a lot better than the individuals, but the collective smiles in these group shots just make them that much better. More smiles, more fun!

These girls were waiting on the rest of them to change out of their uniforms, and were just goofing off and having some fun! In thise one, they were about the fall right as I snapped it!

Go Pioneers!

Amanda & Bryan

Amanda and Bryan were married October 25 at the Fillauer Lake House in Cleveland, TN. I had not met neither the Bride nor Groom until the day of their wedding, but they were a lot of fun to be around, and were very welcoming of me, a stranger, there to photograph their wedding. The colors were absolutely beautiful and the weather was perfect for an outdoor fall ceremony. I wish them the absolute best, and thank them for letting me be a part of their special day!

Tennessee Beauty

I love photographing the beauty of nature. It is definitely one of my favorite things to do. I love to drive around and take photos of sunsets, or of country roads, but then there are FLOWERS. They can always bring a smile to my face, and I just cannot refuse their beauty!

Jaxon & Camdyn

Trying to get a two year old and a three year old to sit still and take photos is not the easiest thing to do... Instead, they want to show off for those watching or just cringe when the camera flashes, not wanting to smile for it. BUT... here are a few of the photos I managed to take of Jaxon and Camdyn. They were not very cooperative... I think deep down they knew that flu shots followed...

JAX

I have the most adorable nephew, and I am one proud Aunt. Turns out, that Jax is destined to be not only a star athlete, but a natural model! haha. I asked him if I could take some photos of him today, and he was a little hesitant, but finally said, "After lunch." So, "after lunch" we went outside and the fun began. And, I am getting a new phone soon so I told him he could have my old one to play with when I got it, but of course he didn't want to wait... He is going to break so many hearts one day!

The Knowles Family

I attended a Smith Family Reunion at the end of August, and I told my cousin, Jessie, that I would like to photograph her kids. It was a wet Sunday afternoon, but we braved it and went out and took some pictures. These kids really are adorable, and I had fun taking their pictures. Ethan Jase is the youngest and the most curious of the bunch. Then there is Mason with his "I don't want to smile". (but he did!) And then last, but most certainly not least, was little Miss Chyenne with all the attitude in the world!

The location was Cannonsburg Village in Murfreesboro, TN.
