sweet ella b

hard to believe baby ella is now almost 11 months old. that means my own sweet baby is just a few months behind her. ella is the daughter of our sweet friends and her and jori are only about 9 weeks apart.
we got together the other evening and the weather was amazing. i had to snap a few pics even though ella was getting a little sleepy.

so big!
and this last one is my favorite. she was playing peek a boo with her momma. love it :)

you can see more photos of baby ella here, here and here.

thanks for looking

jody and emily

our good friends jody and emily decided to go on active duty with the military last march. they moved to beautiful Hawaii for a three year term. dave and i are already saving up frequent flyer miles to get over there to visit. jody is a military nurse and recently got word that he would be deployed to Iraq. since jodys family lives here in TN, they decided to make a quick trip back before he heads over seas. emily and i had gotten really close, so i am enjoying our time together very much.
i asked them if they would be interested in me taking some photos of jody in his dress uniform. they are always such great sports, i love photographing them. click here and here you can see our other photo shoots.





above: my favorite

and one last one of my beautiful friend. we are praying for you guys as you start on this new journey. we are praying for safety for jody and peace and strength for emily while he is gone. they have two great kiddos that i am sure will miss there daddy too, so we are praying that the kids can adjust as well. jodys return date is in September.

Gibson Family

all i can say is wow! i had SO much fun taking pictures for the Gibson family. I met teresa through MOPS and over the last few years we have become great friends. she is now on the planning team with us at MOPS and is a great help there. when she asked me to take photos of her and her boys i was happy too, and then when she said they were bringing their old car with them i was SUPER happy. i love when families bring things that are important to them with them for a photo session, whether it is a favorite book or a fancy old car.
teresa and LT's boys are just the sweetest most handsome boys. they were so well behaved and did everything i asked them. they were troopers. it helped that they had a prize waiting for them if they did a good job :)

above: i just love this picture of teresa. she has the most beautiful smile, it lights up a room.
above: the boys love their daddy. the gibsons are such a great family.


when we were done taking photos of the family, LT asked me to take a few of just the car. the car was beautiful and i enjoyed taking photos of something i had never done before.

leave the gibsons some love! if they get 10 or more comments, they receive a free 8x10 of their choice!!

Ada is One!

Do you remember sweet Ada Joy and her great family? You can see pictures from when she was just a few weeks old here. It is hard to believe she is now a big one year old. She is so full of personality and energy. I love her big open mouthed smiles and the awesome blue eyes. Happy Birthday sweet girl!

above... this is one of my all time favorite photos!

Caleb is One

remember this little guy and his great family?? well he is a big boy now and just turned one! the evenings are so nice here in east Tn right now so we took advantage of the beautiful sky and took some pictures for the Greers.

i found this awesome location where they were getting ready to auction off a ton of old farm equipment. perfect for pictures. the old famers might have thought we were a little crazy though.
