Connor | Chattanooga Newborn Photographer

I have a love-hate thing with newborns.  I LOVE the babies and their new parents and everything about them... I HATE the ache I feel in my heart when I realize how quickly they grow up and how it seems like yesterday that my kindergartener was as tiny as these brand new balls of potential.  I love their smell and their sweet facial expressions and dreamy smiles, but I hate that I leave thinking, "well....... just ONE more wouldn't be so bad..."

Little Connor is a perfect example of that!  Oh, how sweet this little man was!  He slept the entire time, melting into each position and pose and sighing that delicious little baby sigh, burrowing into the blankets and snuggling with his beautiful mama and his sweet daddy.  He gave me the baby fever bad.  Go on, I dare you to not feel the same!

I'll give you a minute to finish your "aaw"'s.  Now, check back soon for more squishiness!

Anna and David | Chattanooga Prom! Photographer

I met this fabulous couple when I worked with David to capture his senior portraits and his amazing girlfriend accompanied him.  I just couldn't get enough of their young love, so when Anna asked me to capture some special portraits before his senior prom this spring, I jumped at the opportunity. 

Not only are these two beyond adorable (um, how gorgeous is she?! And that dress?!) but they're kind, intelligent kids.  It was an absolute pleasure to work with them both and I think of them often, hoping that their deep, true love helps them get through the trials and tribulations of his first year of college. 

Swoon.  Young love.... Folks, he gave her a puppy.  Yes, they are THAT adorable.

Farmers | Chattanooga Family Photographer

Like all of the families that become a part of my "photography family", the Farmers are just wonderful folks. 

The oldest boy is the same age as mine, and I just loved seeing him interact with his mama.  It was touching and sweet because it reminded me of me with my Jack.  And big brother was so loving and tender with his little brother...  Oh my goodness, they really were just the sweetest family.  Besides all that, Mom and Dad were a blast to hang out with - fun-loving and witty.  It really makes what I do seem less like a "job" and more like a privilege!

See?  Precious.  What an awesome family!
