Little Jacob

Recently I headed to Crossville for some one-year photos of a cute little man, Jacob, and his mom Traci. Although it was during a cold snap, they were troopers and Jacob did a great job. Just look at all those smiles!

Tracis family owns the Rowell Apple House – an orchard that used to have a motel on it. It’s a super cool location and we had a lot of fun with this mother-son duo.

I must also say thanks to my awesome assistant of the day, Sara. She’s a master at getting kiddos to smile.

All boy, I tell you! 

Beth & Justin ~ Engaged

Beth and Justin met us in the beautiful city of Chattanooga for their engagement session. The weather was splendid and we had so much fun with this couple. We rode the carousel for some different pics, and we walked all around Coolidge Park, finding fun and pretty spots as we went. Their wedding will be so special, because this couple is obviously super sweet and in love with each other. We can’t wait!

Here are a few from our outing with them.

{The Best of 2011 ~ Portraits}

So, I realize it’s halfway through February and that I’m a tad late on my “best of” posts. But better late than never, right? Well, here goes!

 

I didn’t think it was possible to have even more fun than we did in 2010, but 2011 proved me wrong. Brandon and I met even more amazing families, babies and seniors in ’11 and we were seriously so blessed to create such fun and memorable photos for our new friends.

 

We had more sessions than any prior year, and worked our cameras hard to keep up with everyone. But man, it was outstanding.  Brandon and I are SO thankful for each one of you who we were able to photograph. For those of you who were clients, friends, or just happen to enjoy following our work on the blog – we truly do thank you for every kind word and every ounce of encouragement. Now…let’s see if 2012 can knock it out of the park!

 

Here are some of our favorite photos from portrait sessions last year. Some you’ve seen, some you haven’t. Either way, enjoy!

{Baby Silas}

Baby Silas is one cutie little guy! I had a great time during his session, and he performed (slept) beautifully for me. There are several more awesome shots of this kiddo but here are just a few. Mom and Dad, enjoy your sneak peek!

Silas’s middle name is Fox. Hence, the cutest little fox outfit I’ve ever seen.

{Cindy & Randy ~ Engaged}

Cindy and Randy got engaged a couple of months ago. They have a super sweet relationship and when you’re with them, you just feel good. It’s love. It’s real. And it’s beautiful. They have a way of accepting each other and putting each other first, which is something that a good marriage certainly needs.

During our engagement session, Randy proved over and over again that he would do anything for his bride-to-be by wading in freezing water, driving over rocky roads, and even helping me find great spots for photos. We did the session at Clifty River in Crossville, since it is a special spot for these two. It was a beautiful day for photos, and we had a blast.

Here are a few of my favorites, but man it was hard to choose!

 As these two were walking back to the other side, a group of hunters came by on four-wheelers. They must have thought we were crazy!
These boots were part of the proposal, so I couldn’t resist using them for a ring shot.

Cindy - Lindsay, it’s hard to come up with the right words to describe how I feel about our pictures. Thank you for your willingness to venture into an unfamiliar territory to give us the pictures we wanted, where we wanted. You didn’t hesitate for a moment. Off came the shoes and socks as you literally jumped into this. You made the day extra special with your extraordinary talent and love for what you do. The day did not feel like a photo session. It was fun and care-free. It was a day that will live in our hearts forever, and the best part is that we have our beautiful photos of a place that means so much to us to remind us of that day any time we want to take a look. We don’t just have pictures…….we have a story……another very special reason to love Clifty River. Thank you does not feel like enough to say so I hope you do know how much you are appreciated.

Randy - I wanted to thank you again. You are amazingly great at what you do. You made it fun and very easy. I never thought love could be caught in a picture. You have done so much more than take our pictures. You have a wonderful talent! The love I have for Cindy is not easy to put into words and tell people so they can understand. You caught it in your camera and now I can show the pictures to people so they can understand how great she is and how I love her more than any words. If a picture is worth a thousand words…imagine what your beautiful pictures say about our love? Nobody could have EVER done better for us. You are so much more than a photographer…you are a artist!! Thank you for the memories we can share and pass on for years to come. We will never forget what you’ve done for us.

Lindsay - Cindy and Randy, both of your comments mean so much more to me than you know! I was honored to be the one you chose for your photos and had such a good time freezing in the water taking photos! I’ve never liked the ice-water feet-soak better!
You guys were so easy and fun to work with, and Randy, you pulling up a colorful tree just to use in a photo is something I’ll never forget. You truly showed me what a great man you are just by your positive and helpful attitude. And Cindy, you looked gorgeous and full of joy, and I am so so happy for you that you’ve found such a good man to share the rest of your life with.
You both were so wonderful to photograph, and I am thankful to have had the opportunity!
