"B" Stunning

The lovely "B" family contacted me about a shoot that would give them great pictures for their Christmas cards and also to have portraits done with Daddy B in his dress uniform. Daddy B serves in the US Navy (as you'll see). This very patriotic family of four were a delight to shoot, Brother B and Sister B were just adorable and Momma B's red hair caught the light just perfectly! Such a fun family!

A "Sweet" Family Shoot

So, as always, I am scouring the web and doing random excursions around town to find the best and most unique places to shoot. My thoughts for family "W" was to get them into something bright and fun and that's when I came across Sweet Pete's Candy Shop (find them on facebook also!) and knew that this would be the perfect spot to shoot the sweet family! Dad is in the Navy for a few more months and Mom just got out and they will be moving soon, Baby W is just 9 months old! Check out his wicked vampire teeth in the first picture!

No need to check your monitor, his eyes are JUST THAT BLUE! 

I'll never get enough of this awesome settee...so if you get sick of it, I apologize! 

Probably my favorite of the entire family for the whole session

They look so natural and happy!

The Anderson's First Christmas Card! PART 2

Well, I had a wonderful post typed up about my christmas cards that I created on Shutterfly but it didn't post with the last blog post...so here it is!

I took about an hour and followed my dogs around the house and back yard to get three shots worthy of our Christmas cards! Let me tell you...it was NOT easy! I took over 150 pictures and there were only 5 that worked...doglets are fast! Anywho...here's our Christmas card...our dogs are our life. We adore them! From left--> Tipsy, Ace & Mojo. the only place I could get Ace (our Great Dane) to lay calmly was in his cage, Mojo thankfully was a little more chill and I had to steal Tipsy's bone and bribe her with it! Of course they are ALL curled up on various sofas NOW but just an hour ago they were running away from their crazy momma and her weird snapping apparatus!

A+B {Engaged}

A photographer couldn't ask for a more beautiful couple...together they rocked their E-pics, making them quit epic! They were such a delight to work with and such good sports when we found out one of our shoot locations had been shut down for some sort of construction! Thankfully there was another more urban setting and we were off. They didn't question when I veered off the road at random and made them get out of their car and pose by a wall of an abandoned building in a part of downtown Jacksonville, FL! I can't wait for their wedding in April!

Did I mention he is Sailor in the United States Navy?! 

He serves on the same ship my husband serves on. 

They are naturals

Check out that amazing engagement ring! 

Vintage couch+Cobblestone road+Awesome couple=EPIC!

Train tracks and a train in the background, couldn't ask for anything more! 

Natural goofiness! Love it! 

Mini Shoot with Lucas

While I was back in East Tennessee earlier this month I was able to shoot this adorable (and camera shy) little boy! Everyone, meet Lucas Sebastian! I've had the honor of knowing Luke since he was a week old; he had the most amazing purple eyes...I'm not joking, they were purple. They've since mellowed to a stunning blue. Check out his adorable facial expressions, not bad for being just shy of 2 years! 

GQ anyone? 

He'd rather play with the dogs than pose

Mischievous! 

 

That's enough! 

CG 66 Homecoming on the Pier

K and S are reunited after months of separation during S's deployment! Reunited and it feels so good!

I see him! 

First smooch

He is so happy to see his wife

A good friend of K's, R, was proposed to in front of everyone at the homecoming celebration, here are a few shots from that as well

You can see the ring box in is right hand!

She most definitely said YES!

M's Not So Engagement Shoot

I was supposed to have a fantastic retro engagement session to show you teasers from, but alas, it was cancelled due to rain. Which was very short lived might I add. So I was very bummed when I found it out, I had such great plans for this shoot...they will have to wait until our rescheduled time. Instead I have pictures of a friend who just so happened to be bored and wanted to help me out since I was all geared up to shoot. She came over and we shot in the backyard which is covered by a huge tree!

Enjoy a not so engagement photo shoot and be on the look out for diners and laundromats!

I just love the colors in Ozzy's fur and the greenery!

Boudoir/Calendar Shoot *adult content/not safe for work*

 For their men.

I am sure their men will appreciate all of these.

Knoxville Loves T

There is no place this girl would not be cute, but Knoxville, TN really loves her! Check out this adorable gal, T.

And the best for last (or my favorite for last)

First Photo

I cannot launch a photography blog without posting at least one picture. So, from the latest shoot, which I will post more of tomorrow (consider this a teaser).

I shot photographed my best friend, T, this past weekend. She has got to be the cutest woman I have ever met. Stylish, sassy and sweet to boot. We really enjoyed ourselves and took our time (the shoot last just about 4 hours, not a norm for me) but what do you expect to happen when you get best friends together? So here is a sneak peak of what is to come tomorrow.

Welcome

I should welcome you to the start of what I hope will be a long and joyful readership. I will say that I am nervous. I have posted pictures before, but on personal blogs, personal profiles. Of course people look at them, I want them to. But people just saw it as a hobby, it's more than that to me now. I've been building my portfolio and will be posting here, and only here (except for a teaser or two on popular networking sites) to condense everything and to optimize viewing.  Visit and visit often! I will try, try, try to upload after each session and I hope to have many. I may have to beg people to let me take their photos! I do have a few projects coming up including some boudoir shots, infant portraiture and engagement shots; so keep your eyes peeled and follow the blog!

Snappily (kind of like happily),
