McKamey Animal Center | Chattanooga Everything Photographer :)

I don't know if many of you have seen my Facebook page and have followed the saga of our rescue dog, Lucky...  If you have, you know of my love/hate relationship with him.  You probably also know that he's as much a member of our family as any of my children. 

I love me some fur babies.

So you should not be surprised to learn that I recently worked with our local rescue center for pets, McKamey Animal Center, to capture some adorable, heart-string-tugging, feel-good images of folks who are happy with their new lovies. 

Seriously these photos are adorable. 

Seriously I almost came home with like, 15 dogs and a few cats. 

Seriously, if you are looking for a pet, go to McKamey - there's a lotta love in that place just waiting for the right family to come along. 

Seriously, I said "seriously" 5 times.  Maybe 6.  Who's counting?  To the cuteness!

Easton | Chattanooga Newborn Photographer

I was fortunate enough to be around to photograph sweet Easton's entrance into the world, and even more fortunate to have him, at about a week old, come visit me for his newborn photos.  Seriously, when I say "fortunate" folks, I am not kidding - this baby is about the sweetest, cutest, squishiest little ball of joy I've ever seen. 

I see a LOT of babies. 

Easton is just amazing.  His parents are amazing.  His big sister is a complete doll.  I can't get enough of this sweet family - go on: you'll be hooked too! 

Look how much she loves him!  Oh my heart!

He was such a great sleeper and he was so peaceful and calm - I couldn't get over how easy-going he was.

And his smiles!  Oh my goodness!  I don't care what they say about "gas" and whatnot - Easton is a smiler.  Plain as day.

And his Grandma had about the most awesome collection of Georgia stuff I've ever seen - check out the signatures on the football and the helmet! Awesome!

Just precious.  I really love every second I'm around this bunch.  I love my job so, so much!

Welcome Levi | Chattanooga Birth Photographer

**This post might not be for some, though there is nothing graphic or offensive. **

Someone I consider a dear friend commissioned me to document the birth of her fourth baby, an opportunity I eagerly welcomed!  I've long dreamed of being able to photograph a birth and I yearn to establish myself as a birth photographer.  

I have four babies and I absolutely LOVED delivering them.  I don't think there's a substance in heaven or on Earth to replicate the emotional high of being part of such an incredible miracle.  Though the idea of birth photography might not be everyone's favorite, for those who do want to document the moment, I can assure you that the images will strike the deepest chord in your soul for years to come.

Here are the images from Levi's entrance into this world, and his beautiful momma's strength, grace, and love... I could type for days about how humbling this was, but I'll let the images tell the story.

What an amazing experience.  What an amazing family.  What an amazing God we serve.
