finley brand new

I love love. Let me introduce you to a whole LOT of it.

Meet brand new baby boy who was born at a whopping 10 lbs, 14 oz almost two weeks ago!! Sweet baby boy Finley. I loved this couple as a duo. Couldn’t even come close to being prepared for the love that was SO AMAZING when they became a party of 3. I could go on and on about the Day’s, but I may lose it a little and begin to ramble. Which is so easy for me to do. So, I will leave you with this…. when your first baby is born take it all in. The emotional roller coaster if you will. I have been there…..TWICE. It’s the most amazing gift in the world. So very thankful that Emily and Chris let me capture ALL of that emotion during my time with them. We cried together, we laughed together during the few hours I was there. It was wonderful.

Finley….you, my sweet new buddy are LOVED BIG. Looking forward to watching you grow over your first year!

cameron is 9 months

February 20, 2012 By sara 2 Comments

This little dude is one of my favorites. I have a very special place in my heart for little boys since I have two of my own. I get them. I understand their want to stay busy and be entertained constantly. When momma told me he wasn’t acting like himself that morning I wasn’t surprised that it took Cameron only about 10 minutes to show me that big beautiful smile. He can be a little under the weather but still be one of the happiest babies to be around. And, sweet Sarah’s parents came to join us for a few shots. I just loved that. It’s important to get those awesome grandparents in images!! SO very important.

This year with Cameron has absolutely FLOWN by. Next time I see him and his awesome parents he will be ONE. And, we are meeting on his actual birthday. Sure to be lots of fun!!

See you soon buddy!

lily c 6 months

February 20, 2012 By sara Leave a Comment

I love this stage in the first year! Especially when the babies are sitting up really well. They are just so darn proud of themselves annnnnnd they aren’t running away from me YET. By 9 months the sessions get fast and furious for both me AND the parents. But, 6 months is pretty darn easy.

Last time I saw this sweet girl was right before the holidays and dad wasn’t able to join us. I was happy to hear that they would all be there for this one. I think it is SO very important for the entire family to be present for most of these sessions. Any time I get an inquiry from a new potential client and they say “I don’t want to be in any of the pictures….just our child… because…I haven’t lost the weight, my hair isn’t done, I don’t like the way I look, etc”…I just laugh. Are we ever REALLY happy with the way we look? And, guess who really doesn’t care about any of that stuff? Your child. They love you just the way you are and I promise you they would much rather have a handful of images with you guys in them instead of pictures of them by themselves. Just saying. My rant is over. And, for the record Lily’s daddy was working the last session it just sparked up something that bugs me a tad

I adore this family. I absolutely love this happy baby girl!! Can’t even imagine what this happy bug will be like at 9 months!!!

presley is 3 months

February 20, 2012 By sara Leave a Comment

Precious P!!! I have been calling this sweet beautiful girl Precious P since the first time I met her. Isn’t she, though? Momma wanted to meet somewhere else other than their home for Presley’s 3 month session. And, the only place to meet indoors during these colder months is the Factory. Such a cool place with such great colors AND light!

3 months is unpredictable as I have said time and time again. Happy to report that this little girl was happy happy and loved sticking her cute little tongue out at me OFTEN!! I just love her. And, her parents!

Can’t wait to see you in 3 short months!!

linley is 6 months

February 20, 2012 By sara Leave a Comment

Sweet Linley is now 6 months!! Still as beautiful as ever, but smiling more and more. She isn’t quite sitting up yet, so we decided to keep the session at their home to make it a little easier. 9 months we are going to bring all the sisters together and I am so excited about that. BUT, I was happy to devote 100% of my time to Linley. She is one precious bug.

She spent a lot of time on her tummy, but I do believe she loved her back most. Loved all of her sweet sweet faces!

Sweet baby girl…I’ll see you soon!!

happy valentine’s day 2012 {personal post}

February 13, 2012 By sara 1 Comment

YES, I am so one of those moms that makes a card for every single holiday. I know, but seriously…who would expect anything less from me? And, it just wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t share our cute boys and this cute card with everyone.

I took the photo of the boys back in early January when it was too cold to do anything. I pulled out my backdrop — that NEVER gets pulled out for anything because I am not a “studio” type gal, but I had a vision and it required THE backdrop! Dressed the boys in light blue and jeans…no shoes and pulled out the R that I covered in red plaid back when Tyler was a baby {sigh…he’s FIVE now} and this is what it produced. 5 minute fun session with momma and I was as happy as could be. I know what I wanted the front of the card to look like {right side of image below} and I knew what I wanted the back to say {left side of image below}. My grandma ALWAYS said to us growing up that she loved us a “bushel and peck and a hug around the neck”. I just love that saying. And, I have really been digging the popular subway signs so that is where that inspiration came from on how the words were placed! Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy. Can you tell I have had WAY too much of my boys Valentine’s Candy? LOL

May this day of Love be filled with more Love than you can handle!!

silas is 3 months

February 12, 2012 By sara Leave a Comment

I am REALLY starting to love my 3 month sessions with all the sweet babies. They have all just been so very happy and silly. I love it when only takes 3 months for personalities to come out because that just means the rest of the first year is a hoot!

Precious Silas. This little guy belongs to one of my very favorite families. A family that let me enter their hearts a few years ago. They let me shoot at their farm AND, they feed me dinner after shooting all day…I could go on and on. I just love them. They are the best.

Momma told me I would be lucky to get a smile from him. Doesn’t she know by now who she’s working with?? LOL

Love you little dude…and your momma, daddy and big sis too! Oh, and your grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles TOO.

addison is 6 months

February 12, 2012 By sara Leave a Comment

Is she not the cutest baby girl? Sweet Addison is now 6 months and just as cute as ever.

I got to meet up with this adorable family at the Factory in Franklin early Monday morning. It’s been so very frigid lately that is the only place to meet clients {other than their home}. Anyone else ready for the 60 degree weather to stay? Don’t get me wrong. I have been so very thankful for the warm days we have had in January, but I do believe old man winter is confused. Oh well, at least we do have the option of the Factory here in the great state of Tennessee!!

Addison is a doll. But, you wouldn’t expect anything less with parents like hers. I sure can’t wait until 9 months!!

henry brand new

February 12, 2012 By sara Leave a Comment

This precious boy came a little early, but he is healthy, happy and perfect!! And, I was so happy to meet him and his family for the very first time last Sunday.

Meet Henry. Super cute, eh? I just loved him and his tiny self. Mom and I had the best time getting to know each other while I attempted to get this little dude naked…he wasn’t having it. So, I changed up my “photographing newborns” formula and followed his lead. I sure do believe it worked in my favor. I got to laugh with mom…a lot! What better way to get to know someone you are going to spend lots of time with during your baby’s first year?!!

Really looking forward to watching Henry grow over this next year. Getting to know his mom and dad and big brother are just an added bonus!!

See you soon sweet baby boy!

February 12, 2012 By sara Leave a Comment

Babies, babies everywhere!! Yes, over the next few weeks you are going to see lots of cute babies on here. Sure to make the February Clients Favorite blog very very difficult for peeps to vote!! Sweet Layne was my first newborn for February then came this beauty. Precious Phoebe.

I have been photographing her big brother for almost 2 years now so I was really excited when momma told me they were expecting! Big brother was a little under the weather and still adjusting to life as family of four so he won’t be in this blog, but I assure you will see lots of sibling love over this next year with Logan and his baby sister.

I see lots of pink and lots of bows is this baby girls future. But, would you expect anything less?

I photograph lots of boys, so I LOVE when I get a pretty baby girl in front of me. Precious peanut this girl is and I am looking forward to watching her grow over the next year!
