Cookeville

We had a fun time in Cookeville. I did some pics for Bella's birthday invitation and since her mom bought the ENTIRE line to matilda jane (lol) we will do some more when the weather gets warmer and it not quite so hectic. I LOVE BELLA and all her spunkiness, she is the best niece an aunt can have!

I also did Cole's 9 month pics. I did his 3 month, 6 month, and then some Christmas pics with his grandad and all the grand kids. His growing so fast and is SO laid back and happy (Shann...try to hold off cutting that hair, its too cute)! I REALLY need this fire truck and thanks Beth for letting us use it!!

Catching up

Life throws curve balls sometimes. My mom fell and broke her hip. Who would have thought that? Maddox's fevers were only 20 days apart this time, and now I am getting sick. Needless to say I have neglected the blog. I have still been doing pics but just not sharing them. I have done 2 engagement sessions lately and I will try to blog those by the week-end.

Now on to Whitney. A beautiful senior at MJHS who is very talented. She is a cheerleader, in the choir, drama, and plays the guitar. She also turned 18 today. These pics were meant to be done downtown but I wanted to stay in Lebanon in case my mom needed me closer. I LOVE the way they turned out....LOVE, LOVE! Here are just a FEW of my favorite....I have too many to share, they all turned out great!

This picture is my light workshop assignment 2. Full sun/noon. Now this assignment freaked me out! Full sun casts terrible shadows and makes the skin look so harsh. The ending result thought, turned out great! My teacher loved it and I am DARN proud of it too...

Finally....guess who has been taking pics for his bday invitation? Here is a hint....be still my heart, my baby is almost 4.

Love and Pictures

These 2 little guys are the reason I picked up a camera. I wanted to capture every moment I could because I know that time goes by too fast....from that has become a passion I get undeniable joy from. They are my soul reason for love and pictures! Happy Valentines Day boys. YO' momma loves you!

Remember him

Remember me....my name is Silas...I am 6 months old now. I can sit, laugh, and flirt. I am so cute and fun to photograph too.

1st light assignment

My class has started. We are starting with using natural light by a window/door.

My first job was to blow out the background (white it out) and make a dramatic textured sillhouette of my subject...

My 2nd assignment was to use side to catch sparkles in the eyes (which gives a picture life). This doesn't mean the little white dot that a flash adds (which I HATE HATE HATE)...When I zoomed in on this picture I could see the sliding doors perectly...it made me giddy.

I am pretty sure I have the best little models ever, what do you think?!
