A Little Old Fashioned | Nashville Baby Photographer

in , ,

My sweet friend wanted me to capture her beautiful 7 month old little baby girl in photographs that looked a bit old fashioned.  I jumped at the opportunity to do something a little different than my normal approach to a shoot.  I loved how the pearls added to the effect of the vintage look.  And that hat - seriously? Here are  a few that I really love.... Enjoy!

Best of 2011 Photo Contest | Nashville Photographer

in , ,

The annual contest is going to look a little different this year.  So make sure you read the guidelines carefully to fully participate.  Since it is 2011, I have chosen 11 photographs to represent the "best of."  And believe me, it was very, very hard to narrow it down to 11.  And since this contest is also on Facebook, I only chose clients photographs who were my fans on Facebook.  So if you are not a fan, then become one because I give away lots of fun stuff on it!

This is always my favorite time of year because I love my clients and I really love giving back.  And, not going to lie- I like a little more comments on my blog than normal too.  I mean, anything would be more than normal.  Where is the love, people?!?!  :)

So here's the deal...

1) You can only vote twice.  One on the blog (under comments) and another on my Facebook page.

2) There are multiple ways to win:

-The photograph with the most votes will win a 16X20 Canvas valued at $275.   The second photo with the most votes will win a 16X20          Print valued at $99.  The third photo with the most votes will win a 11X14 Print valued at $60.

-Everyone who votes will be entered into a random drawing for a FREE mini session valued at $350.  Your name will be entered in    twice if  you vote on my blog and on Facebook.  And to make it even more fun, I am able to track how many times you shared the link via        Facebook and every time you share it on your wall - your name will be entered in again.  The more you share, the better chance you have at winning!  {if you share without the link from the original contest post, please tag me so i can keep up with those as well}

3) Emails will not count as votes!  I tried that the first year and my inbox was disastrous.  Only blog comments & Facebook votes will count.  When you vote, please include the name of the photo.  The names are before each of the photos on the blog.

4) Please like my page on Facebook so I can keep up with your information in order to notify you of the winners.  They will also be posted on the blog as well.

New Beginnings | Nashville Newborn Photographer

in ,

I love to know the stories of those I photograph.  It allows me  a small glimpse into who they are and where they come from.  This sweet family of three has a story of new beginnings.  Not only a new, beautiful baby but also of a home that has been renewed.  You see, they were affected by the Nashville flood last year.  Their entire house was flooded with water almost to the ceilings.  They had to replace everything & start over.  And in starting over, they are able to share it with their first, beautiful baby girl. And to top it off - look at the red hair!  I about died when I walked in and saw her beautiful red, curly hair.  I have to admit that I have been coveting red hair since I saw "Florence & the Machine" perform at the U2 Concert.  Her red hair about made me run straight to CVS & buy a box of Crimson red Nice n Easy.  So photographing beautiful, red hair makes me really happy, needless to say.  :)

Enjoy this little peek into a few of my favorites.... And enjoy your sweet beautiful baby girl!!

Baby Love | Nashville Newborn Photographer

in ,

Walking into homes of newborns makes me automatically long for the days of the newness of life.  There is something about a  home with a new little person that just outpours with hope and joy.  Yes, there are also tired eyes and weary minds yet underneath it all, there exists a sense of belonging that you just can't manufacture.  If I could manufacture that feeling, then I would be living in an old, yet remodeled mansion on Belmont Blvd.  (non-nashvillians that means a really big, expensive house)  :)   So I try to breathe it in and take a little bit of it home with me as my 5 year old whines and my 2 year old throws a tantrum.  I want to remember the hope that we breathed as the newness settled into our home for the first time. The newness is definitely settling into this charming home of now a family of three.  And their new sweet boy is brimming with beautiful, scrumptious baby love.  He stayed awake almost the entire shoot but was amazing throughout it all.  Thank you so much for inviting me in to your home and spending time with your beautiful baby boy.  It was a joy!

Enjoy a few of my favorites...
