All Grown Up

Next up was a photo shoot with my dear high school friend Katherine! It was so great to meet her husband and see how big her brother and her son have gotten! I remember when both of them were born and now they are in high school - hard to believe! Katherine's husband will be working remotely for the next few months and asked for some new family shots before leaving town and little brother needed a few senior photos.  The LSU Rural Life Museum again made the perfect setting.  What a special treat to catch up with this old friend and her beautiful family!

Braving the Rain

On Sunday, I braved the rain with my co-worker Melissa and her kids, Jack & Ragan, for their annual Christmas card photos. Hard to believe this is the 5th year in a row that I've gotten the chance to take their pics - they're both so grown up now! After striking out at a few locations, we wandered around Rhodes College, dodging the rain as best we could, and then ended up downtown around all of the beautiful churches.

Models in the Making

My friend and co-worker, Brittly, is marrying the sweetest man this April, who also happens to have three of the loveliest daughters, Caroline, Mary Frances & Mae. We hit up the trails of Overton Park for a photo shoot on Saturday. It took the girls a bit to warm up, but before you know it, they were striking poses and walking their own personal runways! 

Downtown with Jack & Ragan

One of my favorite things about Christmas card season is seeing how much some of these kiddos grow up over a year. I've had the privilege of photographing my friend Melissa's kids, Jack & Ragan, for the past 3 years (2010, 2011 & 2012) and it's amazing to see how much they have grown up! It was the perfect afternoon to hit up some of our favorite downtown spots and a few new places like the Metal Museum and Beale Street Landing!

 my favorite!

Down by the River

Back in Memphis and time for more Christmas card pics with the adorable Jeff & Katie. I've had the chance to take their pics for the past 2 years (2010 & 2011) and this year, we headed down to Mud Island just as the sun was setting. Good looking backdrop for some good looking kids!

Trolley Chasers

Let the holiday season begin!  Not only did I start listening to Christmas music this week, I also had my first official Christmas card shoot of the season... and I'm looking forward to several more over the coming weeks so stay tuned. First up was my friend Melissa's kids, Jack & Ragan. This was my third year to photograph them (2010 & 2011) and it's amazing to see how much they have grown. With these two, we always make sure to add in some Memphis flair so we chased down some trolleys and made a stop by the river at sunset!
