A Date with Addie Kate | Columbia, TN Newborn Session
April 29, 2008 | Filed Under Newborn, Toddler | 4 Comments
This precious baby girl was amazing for me this morning. I captured her at 23 days old, and she pretty much put all of my “younger” newborns to shame. =) She slept right from the start of the session and made hardly a peep throughout the duration. She put up with much adjusting, touching and moving from me… and a little from proud big brother, Knox! A special thanks to her mom for wanting me to capture her newborn portraits… it was wonderful meeting your sweet family. Here are a couple of quick favorites from today…
Curly Q | Mount Juliet, TN Toddler Session

I’ve photographed this little man 3 times during the course of his first year… and he gets cuter each and every time! The curls, the dimples… I could just eat him up! We captured him outside in his grandmother’s landscape - and it was nothing short of A-MA-ZING. Truly one of the most beautifully landscaped homes I’ve ever seen. Just wanted to share a little sneak peek for his mama… hope this makes your Monday morning a little brighter! =)

Does this face look familiar? Meet Eliza - the winner of my Little Spooks Halloween Contest. I met up with her and her mommy for a couple of hours this morning at Cheekwood. Isn’t she beautiful? She kept herself very busy at the beginning of the session “dead-heading” the flowers. Cheekwood sends their thanks for your help, Eliza! We found a little shed at the very end of our time together, where I captured these images… I think little Miss might have saved the best for last.
I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, Ashley…
Completely Custom

One of my favorite things to do for my clients is to create something that is unique… a one-of-a-kind piece that they will enjoy looking at on their walls each day. I wanted to share a couple of my favorite custom pieces from the past couple of months.
First is a custom art canvas that I created, with help from the baby’s father. He is a talented musician, and when I found out that he had written a song just for his baby girl, I knew I wanted to incorporate that somehow. So dad wrote the lyrics out and sent me a scan of his handwriting. I was able to combine his lyrics with my image and some artistic embellishments to create this beautiful piece. I printed it as a 20×24 gallery wrapped canvas, and the finished product looked AMAZING! I asked mom to send me a picture of it when they hang it on the wall… but in the meantime, this is the design that was printed:
This next one was originally shown to the client as a birth announcement design. The mom had already sent out announcements, but loved what I had worked up. So she had the great idea to print the “announcement” as an 11×14 wall portrait to display in the baby’s nursery. I think she’s a genius… I love this idea:
