Smith and His Sweet Sisters

I was in DC this weekend and had the opportunity to take photos of the sweet Spivey kids again. You might remember them from their Christmas card session last October.  Well, this time it was for Smith's one-year portrait - he is such a happy little guy. And of course, we couldn't leave out his big sisters - Anne Miller and Eliza. I just love these little blondies. So cute!

Little Leprechaun

Made the trip to Baton Rouge to celebrate Brant's 1st birthday!  Can't believe this sweet little guy is already a year old - it has been so much fun watching him grow over the past year. He's a St. Patrick's Day baby so I foresee lots more shamrock birthdays for him over the coming years!  Happy birthday, Brant! And congrats to Mommy & Daddy on surviving the first year!

Worth the Wait

Today, I had the chance to take engagement photos for my sweet friend Melissa and her fiance Garrett.  Melissa has long been one of my "single girls" in Memphis, but I couldn't be happier to have her moving into the "married girls" bucket.  She and Garrett make such a great couple and I have loved getting to see them together over the past year.  Plus, Garrett was a total sport as we went all over Midtown and Downtown and patiently waited for the sunset with us!  Melissa & Garrett - I'm truly so happy for you two!

40 Sucks

My co-worker Angela asked me to take photos at her husband's surprise 40th birthday party this weekend.  A raucous crowd waited at Earnestine & Hazel's for the guest of honor to arrived... and he was totally surprised! Great job, Angela!

Sweet Charlie

I'm excited to have several photo sessions lined up for the coming weeks and was so happy to start with my co-worker Jessica's sweet new baby boy, Charlie.  He wasn't loving the camera at first, but once he started snuggling with his mommy and daddy, he was so at ease. Love those big cheeks!

Fun with Doodle

I made the trip to Fayetteville this weekend to visit Angie, Sid and Elizabeth.  E has grown up so much since Thanksgiving. It was Angie's birthday so E and I spent Saturday morning making cupcakes and spent Sunday morning in the costume box.  Still hyped on sugar from the cupcakes, she started showing off her "poses" at lunch so we figured we had to do a photo shoot in the back yard. And since her hair is getting so long, we opted for a side pony instead of regular pig tails. So, so cute!

Beaming Bride

Wow! I can't believe it's been over a month since I've posted any pics on here. After a busy end of 2011, I think I just needed January to rest up.  And I must say I'm not totally back in the groove yet... I attended my friend Jeri's wedding yesterday and I barely took any pics.  That's so not like me!  Anyway, she was absolutely stunning and beaming the whole time so I was glad that I was able to catch at least one shot of that during her First Dance with Michael.  Congrats to the Shipmans! So happy for you!

And I promise to start posting again more often. I have lots of fun travel and several sessions booked over the coming months! Yay!
