Olivia + Justin || Engaged

I was so excited when I got the email from Olivia asking if I could fly up to TN to shoot her wedding!  What made me even more excited was that even though her schedule was 100% completely full prepping for the wedding, she actually *wanted* to make the extra time for the engagement shoot.  Olivia and Justin had only taken one photo together, and according to Olivia it was just a selfie.

We decided to shoot the engagement session the day before the wedding since I had already moved back to TX and would only be in TN for 3 days.  We almost ran out of both time and light, but we were able to find a beautiful field to take some amazing shots.  I'm not sure how it happened, but we finished the shoot in less than 40 minutes and on our own terms - not just when it got too dark to shoot.  They were soooo photogenic and I could have kept shooting the whole evening.  All they had to do was look at each other a certain way and they would burst out laughing!

Olivia and Justin, I had such an amazing time getting to know you better and shooting your engagement session and wedding!!

Elizabeth || Franklin, TN Portrait Photographer

Even though she started out pretty quiet, by the end of the shoot Elizabeth and I were really having fun.  :)  

I just <3 her smile!!

My sister "Lizzy" was my assistant today, and it was so amusing trying to talk to both "Elizabeth's"!  I don't think we ever actually got it straightened out.  Oh well, it made for a few laughs!

As soon as we were done shooting, it actually started to rain on us.  We finished just in time!

Happy Thursday

Willa || Centerville, TN Portrait Photographer

She loves to write.  She loves to play the harp and piano.   She a.l.w.a.y.s. has a smile on her face.  She's also an awesome sister to 5 amazing siblings.  

Thank you Willa for spending the morning with me!

Her sister drove her to the shoot, and they brought along this little man... isn't he adorable!!

While Willa and I were off shooting, I looked behind me and saw big sis Olivia grabbing some shots of her own.  **awe** 

When you get the chance, head over to Willa's online store!  She makes the most adorable jewelry.  I snatched a couple photos from her site below :)

Happy Wednesday

Rhoda || Franklin TN Portrait Photographer

I really loved this shoot.  Yes, the weather was perfect.  Yes, the lighting was delicious.  Yes, it felt like I couldn't get any *off* shots that day, but most of all, Rhoda was a joy.  She is so photogenic, and made the shoot so easy and enjoyable!  It's people like this that make me love my job even more.

She saw me at the Nashville Whole Foods a little while ago, and came right up to talk.  It was so great catching up!  

Can't wait to see you again Rhoda!  

Happy Wednesday!

Tallent Family || Franklin TN Portrait Photographer

It was such an amazing day shooting the Tallent family's portraits!

They were so wonderful to work with and little Caleb kept us

all in stitches....isn't he adorable?!?  Big sis Noelle was so loving

towards her new baby brother... it was so sweet to watch.  He loved the

flowers that she picked, and didn't take his eyes off of them if they

were close by :)  

simply precious ...

Caleb has the cutest little feet ever....

Isn't Noelle just gorgeous?  While her mom was putting caleb

to bed, Noelle and I went outside to grab a few shots.

nap time...

Thank you so much Tallent family for the wonderful afternoon!

The Tallent family runs an amazing Healthy Living business 

called Beeyoutiful.  Go on and check it out!

Happy Wednesday
