Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by our booth Sunday at the Premier Bride Bridal Show in Knoxville. This was our first show and we had so much fun meeting everyone!
Of course we forgot to bring a camera to take a picture of our booth, but here is one from my phone :). Also a HUGE THANKS to Hallie, Claire, Potter and Adam who helped us get ready for the show and set up our booth on Saturday while we were shooting Becca & Billy's wedding!
Speaking of Mrs. Becca, I think I can finally post a bridal portrait since the big day has come and gone! This is my fave:

Good morning! First on mind today --- I just want to say thank you to all of our clients! We truly have the most wonderful jobs and I just want everyone to know how much each and everyone of you means to us. You all are awesome and you guys make our day, everyday.
Second, I just wanted to mention that our availability for portrait sessions in 2009 is filling up fast. If you would like to do something in 2009, we should probably get something on the calendar.
Now for the main event... This post is a conglomeration of family and child portrait sessions I've done recently and not so recently... none of which we've blogged :)
First up is the Ford family.
And, yall, I'm in love... with Twins!!! I told their mom and she said I could have one --- LOL. She also said they had been to the ER twice in the last 8 days! They are a handful but darn cute and really funny. They are 2.Here is one
And here is the other.... this little guy is fearless.
And here is their big brother Ethan. He is 4 1/2 and
really cute too.
I love this one
It seemed like any time they came anywhere near each other, they'd all end up falling down. Really funny.
That middle one is a ham.
The whole family
The ham is on the left here... I love that face.

And here is another one of our beautiful families..... This is little Brady :) He has such beautiful eyes!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We need some girls in here!! So, this is my friend Krista's little darling girl back in January... She was probably about 1 1/2 months old here.
Isn't she beautiful!?
She has really pretty doe shaped eyes.
Krista and I have been walking Lakeshore since we were in high school -- we say it's for physical and mental therapy because we run our mouths the whole time and cover lots of topics. Here we are at Lakeshore with MC for the first time. Doesn't Krista have the coolest hair? I've been jealous of it my whole life!!
______________________________________________________________
I made this for my girls (The NC ya-yas) but decided you all might like it too. So Sunday after Tyler & Slate's wedding we all checked out of our hotel rooms and headed over to Ashley's house to say goodbye to our dear, dear friend Erin, who recently moved to Boston. We ended up staying most of the day, just hanging out on a blanket in Ashley's yard. I had my little point and shoot but at some point we decided to get out a real camera because we were having a great time just being together.... even though we were all "sleep-deprived" from our fun-filled weekend with Tyler and Slate. Consider yourself forewarned - we all look horrible! but the babies are cute!
The little baby is Ella, for those who remember Erin's belly shots :). She was born April 17 and has had that much hair since she was born! And then the boys are Thomas, who just turned 5, and Jonah, Ashley and Jason's baby, who was born last September. Soooo cute.
Enjoy! The End! (finally)

If you've been following our blog for a while, you might remember Heidi and Mike from their engagement photos last Fall, but before I get to their wedding, I need to back up a little further. The first time I met Heidi, Dan was out of town. So, Heidi came over to the house to meet just me. We ended up chatting for a really long time about wedding plans, Italy, and basically you name it. I felt bad because our 12-year old dog, Blue, especially liked Heidi and was all over her the whole time. He could not help himself from standing near her, laying at her feet, nuzzling up against her... the whole time.... and she let him and even acted like she enjoyed petting him (which is saying a lot because he's kind of breathy, stinky and sheds all over the place).
So, fast-forward to the day before their wedding... When we got to Chattanooga Heidi handed us this little weclome bag and said with a wink, 'There's something for Mr. Blue in there." Now how sweet is that? I mean, it's not like she didn't have a lot on her mind and there she was thinking of Blue!!!! I just thought I'd tell that little story so you could get an idea of how KIND Heidi and Mike are. And for the record, Blue was very happy when we got home --- he didn't mind us being gone one bit when we came home with all of those yummy treats :)
Back to the wedding, Heidi and Mike were married on the patio of the Maclellan House, which is located in the Bluff View Arts District in Chattanooga, TN. It's a historic area that overlooks the Tennessee River -- there are restaurants, a coffee house, an art gallery, a sculpture garden, three old houses that make up an inn and the whole thing looks very Europeanish. It's really cool and a great spot for a small intimate wedding, which is exactly what Heidi and Mike accomplished.
To give you more of an idea about how intimate this wedding was, here is a picture of everyone who was there.... I love it!! Dan and I had a small wedding too!!
Let me just set the stage a little........ And, check out that fun Groom's cake at the bottom!!
Getting ready!
Mike was a very handsome groom ;)

Heidi and Mike decided to see each other before the ceremony.... I always love these little sequences.
On the way to the ceremony
This is one of my favorites! So sweet!!
Heidi's best-friend Dana did the ceremony and did a great job!! It was sooo sweet and I'm pretty sure she's the one who originally introduced Heidi and Mike too....
A great kiss!!
See what I mean about it looking European?! I especially like the one on the right.
And now the good light!
Heidi is so cute and was pretty much beaming the whole day!
My fav!!!
