Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Campbell!

Today was the amazing Baby Campbell's first birthday! I have come to love Campbell and Courtney and Bryan so much! Their amazing spirits never fail to make me smile.

When I arrived Campbell was sporting her new sunglasses... she definitely has that superstar quality in them, don't you think?





Her guests started to trickle in... The party was LadyBug themed... I love this image of Campbell and her little buddy in their matching Ladybug gear!



A sweet shot of Campbell playing with one of her many new toys...



There were all of these amazing little girls floating around... (there were super cute boys too, some of them in the slideshow :) but I really loved these little girls!)







Twins :)





A little bit of cake... she even got it on her feet!





Funtimes with Bryan... as always!



I think Campbell is just a perfect baby! I can't wait to see her again!



I hope you guys really enjoy your birthday slideshow! Happy Birthday Baby!


Hugs!!!

Emily and Jaye- an Amazing Day.

Saturday we had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Emily and Jaye. We had so much fun hanging out with this group!

The day started off at In the Buff for hours of hair and makeup! We spent a lot of time there, but it was a blast, because Emily and her family, and all of her bridesmaids were so amazing to spend time with!

I love this image of Emily from the salon...



Everyone was very emotional... Emily's sister Betsey struggled to keep her composure as she zipped Emily into her dress.



Emily's dad walked her down to see Jaye for the first time. I love how seriously he took his job of train carrier. This image of Nathan's is one of my favorite "first glance" images ever!



After Jaye and Emily spent a little time together, we went outside and spent a little time on a few "formals". Emily and her family really wanted relaxed portraits, and Nathan and I were thrilled to oblige! I love these family portraits!





Betsey and her fiance' Stephen are getting married later this year! We're so excited about spending even more time with this amazing family!



Finally, a few images of the beautiful new couple! Cumberland Presbyterian is such an amazing location. It's definitely one of my favorite churches in the city!









Emily and Jaye, we are so excited to have been a part of your day! Everything about it was beautiful! Hope you made it to the Chattanooga airport in time :) We'll see you soon!

Click here for your slideshow! I hope you enjoy it!

I love Asheville!

While I was in town meeting my new nephew, I had the opportunity to spend some time with my wonderful family, and a few incredible photographer friends!

I had the opportunity to assist my dear friend Corey McNabb on a bridal session at the Biltmore Estate. It was fun to step into a different role, and instead of functioning as a shooter, I was a camera holder! I did manage to sneak some shots of the great Corey in action. He's a brilliant photographer, and I enjoyed seeing his interaction with his client! I will be shooting a wedding with him at the Biltmore in June, and I am very excited about it!

Rockstar Corey in action...











Then, later that night, I went back over to Corey's studio and hung out with him and the infamous Parker. Corey's studio is super cool. I could've hung out there all night! The guys were pretty good company, too!





The next day, while hanging out at my house with my mom and the kids...



Addison fell down and got her first scraped knee. This was a sad sad moment in time, and of course, I felt it necessary to document the entire process.









On our way out of Asheville, we stopped at the mall for some Starbucks, and we met up with Corey one more time! And this time, we had the opportunity to meet his wife Jill!





Corey grabbed these fun images of Addison and I goofing off at the food court!







A quick self portrait in the parking garage...



Another self portrait on the road, driving home...



And a final shot of Addison!



I love Asheville. So many people that I love are there. It's wonderful to go home.

Baby Mason! Welcome to the Family!

My brother Brian and his wife Laura had a baby last week! I was so excited for them when I got the call! I checked my calendar the day I found out, and I realized that I could either go and see them immediately... OR I could go in 6 weeks! I decided 6 weeks was much too long to wait, so we rented a car, and the kids and I drove to Asheville!

I'll have more images to post from the Asheville trip, but here's a few quickies of the newest member of my family!





Mom and baby...



Jadyn was SO proud of her new brother!
