A Boy and His Mama

These aren't from a photo shoot, but just a few pictures I snapped of my little sister and her baby boy the other day. I love these so much because I feel that they portray the love and bond between these two! It also reminds me of all the prayers that we prayed for God's protection to bring this little one safely into the world.  SO thankful that God saw fit to answer those prayers!

Sneak Peek of Saturday's Photo Shoot

It's been a busy week/weekend, with working and the major paint job we've got going on at the house we just moved into, and then today I decided to be sick! 😒  I was able to do another photo shoot yesterday with yet another one of my sisters.  It turned out to be a very cloudy afternoon, but we did manage to get some good ones!  It was SO cold, though!  We were thankful to warm up with some hot apple cider and coffee at her house afterwards!

Sneak Peek of Afternoon Photo Shoot

I enjoyed taking photos of my nieces and nephew today.  Unfortunately, my nephew didn't enjoy it quite as much! 😂 He clung to Uncle Nick for dear life, while giving him awful looks, which made us all laugh more! Poor little guy!!

A Little Bluegrass Music for Your Evening

Years ago, my sisters and I had a bluegrass band.  We traveled and sang and played music for eleven years, and it was a fun time in our life.  We don't get to play music together as much as I'd like to these days, but I do enjoy when it happens!  Here is a clip of a song that three of my sisters sang at our local nursing home this week.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Sarah's Photo Shoot, Part 2

And here is the second half of the photos from Sarah's recent photo shoot.  Darkness crept up on us a little too fast, but we were still able to get some neat shots!

Sarah's Photo Shoot, Part 1

Here is the first part of Sarah's photo shoot! These pictures were taken behind another sister's house, in the rural area of Nunnelly, TN.  Honestly, the beautiful, rolling hills and farmland looked like a scene out of a calendar! We were thankful to have access to this area for a photo shoot!

Sarah's Sneak Peek

Hi! Hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Sunday! Just had to share a sneak peek of Sarah's recent photo shoot! I'll be posting more photos of this shoot soon!

First Attempt at Live Instagram Video

We took advantage of a beautiful fall day here in Tennessee and headed out for a photo shoot.  I guess I'm not as young as I used to be, because it took me a little while to figure out how to take a live video on Instagram! 😜 But here is our first attempt!

I am still struggling to see a good reason to use hashtags, though! 😝

We shot at a lovely location outside of Centerville, TN.  By the time we remembered to get a picture together, the light was fading quickly, so we ended up with pretty grainy pictures...but you get the idea!

We had fun and got some great pictures of Sarah, which I'll have up very soon!

First post!!

Hello everyone! Thanks for visiting my blog! I hope you enjoy following along on my photography journey!  I live in the town of Dickson in Middle Tennessee with my husband, Nick, and his two dogs, June and Sadie, and cat, Johnny Cash (named because he's the cat in black. 😁)

I enjoy spending time with my large family (I have 7 younger siblings, 2 nieces, 4 nephews, and a little niece on the way), and my favorite thing to do is take helicopter lessons! I have always enjoyed taking pictures since I was young, and I can remember being SO excited to discover digital cameras!  It was amazing to see a picture as soon as it was taken, instead of waiting a week or more to send off film to be developed!

Over two years ago, I married my husband, Nick.  It was the best day of my life, and I am so thankful for his support and encouragement!  He enjoys coming along as my assistant for photo shoots, and I definitely appreciate his help and eye for detail!

Well folks, that's all for now. Thanks for visiting and be sure to check back often!
