The cutest little Bee...

I saw many adorable kids at our Trunk Or Treat event at our church. Thanks to everyone that came out to see us! However, isn't this the cutest Bee EVER! I am sure you know who she is by now.

Trunk or Treat

Are you looking for a safe alternative to Trick Or Treating this year?

We are having a Trunk-or-treat event at my church where you trick-or-treat from trunk to truck each one decorated with a different theme. There will be lots of other stuff (see below) and we are decorating and handing out candy from our trunk too.

Also as a last minute decision I will have a set-up there for the kids to have their pictures taken in their Halloween costumes!

Gorgeous Families

My fall mini sessions were a success! I am happy to announce that I have earned enough money to pay for at least one smile for a child for the Operation Smile charity event. I will have a total soon! There is still time to order a Smile collage, but only a few more days! The offer expires on October 31st.

So here are some pictures of the Gorgeous Families that came to get their fall family portraits done. Although we did not have very much fall color, we did have some great locations to work with regardless.

Enjoy!

Christmas Set

Here are a few photos of my Christmas set. It will give you a good idea of what the set will look like during my Christmas minis, however please excuse my model on these photos. I had a very uncoorperative 2 year old on my hands tonight, what can I say except she is a photographer's kid! We haven't purchased her Christmas dress yet and her hair was in pigtails today. It does show that it will go with just about any outfit. If you just want dress the kids something simple like Kyndal is wearing here or bring them all dolled up in their Christmas outfits.

And just for kicks, I got a whole lot of pictures like this tonight.... or the back of her head.... or an empty chair.

Look at this little sweetie - Smyrna TN Baby Plan session

This is Meredith, she is one of my Baby Planners. She is such a sweetie at 8 months old. I had a hard time narrowing down for the blog.

This is such a timeless image. I have seen pictures of my sister and I in dresses very similar to this, I thought the antique bench was appropriate.

Oops, the one of her toes in her mouth didn't make it to the blog, but it is so cute.
Awww....

Christmas Sessions

Yes it is time to prepare for the holiday season, it will be here before you know it. I am going to have a special holiday set again this season. Just about any holiday outfit will go with this set, from whites and creams, to reds and greens. It will be for the Kiddo's only though. I will also be putting a date on the calendar for the families to get another chance to get that Christmas Card photo done so watch for details soon. Right now I am announcing the dates of November 6th and November 8th for the kids Christmas photos. Details to follow on special packages, sample photos, and details on last family portrait event for the year. Let me know if you are interested in either one of these specials and I will reserve a spot for you.

In the meantime, here are all of the Christmas cards I am offering this year. For those who did Christmas cards with me last year, you will notice that these designs have a front and a back. I am now offering two sided press printed cards in addition to the standard photo cards. All of these are 5x7 with the exception of one square card, a 5x5.

Smile Collage

My charity event is in full swing ( Operation Smile). I have my entire week next week booked for fall portraits with the entire mini portrait session fee going to Operation Smile. I can't wait to write that check and pay for a little boy or girl's smile. I would love to pay for two if possible, so I came up with this adorable collage that will be available for a special price and all of the proceeds will go to operation smile. You can purchase one from a past session, or even if you would like to pre-pay and save it for an upcoming session. Remember, I archive all purchased images for 1 year, so you have not missed your chance. The scroll design is available in any color or with-out; and the photos in the collage are available in color, B&W or a mix of both as seen here.

10x10 Smile Collage - $30

Remember this is for a limited time only, offer expires at the end of October.

Of course my sample features Kyndal (my beautiful 2 year old). So this special is also available to any of Kyndal's grandparents, for the same special price. So if any of the grandparents are reading this blog, let me know if you would like to help out with my charity event and get some recent pictures of Kyndal!

3 Beautiful Generations -Mufreesboro Portrait Session

I was happy photograph this family again while Ruth (Grandma) was in TN from France. I got to meet Ruth when I did little Maddie's newborn photos, since then I have just been shipping pictures over to France. She called to let me know when she would be in town again and wanted 3 generation photos done.

They are simply gorgeous! We got so many great photos, I am only sharing a few here.

This one is my favorite:



Maddie's eyes are just sparkling here.

Another gorgeous Maternity

Oh, and her hubby too! Just sharing one....

Savannah becomes a big sister - Brentwood Newborn Session

I have photographed this little gal since she was 6 weeks old and here she is a big sister! I can't tell you what a treat it was to actually do some of these newborn photos outside. So here are the adorable brother and sister, and let me tell you baby G looks just like his big sister did at that age. I had trouble narrowing down this sneak peek, so there are more than my standard blog post.
