Spring Mini Sessions 2013 {Tri-Cities TN Portrait Photographer}

Spring Mini Sessions are back!!  We had a blast last year {you can check out the sneak peek HERE} and can't wait to do them again!!  I'm excited to be doing Spring Mini Sessions at the beautiful Milligan College campus this year!  They will be tons of fun, of course - what else would you expect from BDP?  If you've never attended one of my mini sessions, here's a few things to expect:  I always have a few little activities to keep kiddos occupied while Mom or Dad are filling out paperwork and waiting their turn.  There will also be lots of gorgeous product samples to check out.  This is an awesome opportunity to get a quick updated portrait for the wall while everything is finally green again and the weather is nice.  It's also a perfect chance to try out the Brandilyn Davidson Photography experience if you haven't yet.  Or maybe you've never even had any custom photography experience before, or maybe you're looking for a new photog to call your own... whatever your story - I hope to see you there!!

Cameron & Joey - sneak peek {Tri-Cities TN Maternity Photographer}

This was the impossible session!!  We had literally four different scheduled session dates and everything that could possibly have prevented us from doing this session happened!!!  But last night, all the stars aligned and it was magical!  Cam and Joey are SO easy to work with and is Cam not disgustingly beautiful and tiny??  I say disgusting because it makes me sick how gorgeous she is!!! haha!  I mean really, a pregnant woman just shouldn't look that good.  I kept telling her, "Stick out that belly - I can hardly see it!!"  Joey is so sweet with his wife and his love for both her and their new baby girl so obvious.  What an awesome couple!!  Enjoy this sneak peek (if you can call it that... I couldn't hold back!!)...

Spring Mini's - sneak peek {East Tennessee Photographer}

We had SO. MUCH. FUN. yesterday at the Serendipity Spring Mini Sessions!!  The weather was gorgeous, in fact it got hot later in the afternoon!!  All the craziness of rescheduling paid off.  It was awesome to see some of my favorites families and how their sweet kiddos have grown and to meet some amazing new families too!!  I love, love, love my clients!!  Of course you know I'm going to overpost... narrowing things down is has never been one of my strong suits.  Here are a few of my favorites - enjoy these and feel free to share with your friends and family!!

Also, if you're not a fan of Brandilyn Davidson Photography on Facebook - do it NOW!!  I love to post even sneakier peeks (a sneak peek before the sneak peek) on my page, and I love being able to tag my clients in their images.  Click {HERE} and simply click 'Like' at the top of the page.  

Thanks to her Mama, I snapped a quick shot of these two cuties who made friends while digging into their goodie bags...  Adorable!

Rue is ONE - sneak peek {East Tennessee Children's Photographer}

First of all... can I just say how SAD I am that this awesome and amazing family is moving away???  I had the privilege of taking Rue's newborn pictures {which you can see by clicking HERE} and have seen her several times over the past year.  I'm so glad it worked out to meet up before they left town to take Rue's 1st Birthday pictures!  She is such a doll...  I'm looking forward to seeing them when they come back to visit.  Enjoy the sneak peek and I'll miss you guys!!  

On a personal note:  My house has been hit with sickness!!!  My poor baby ended up in the hospital and long story short - over a week has gone by and I feel like I'm just now emerging from my cave!!  Hence the lack of posts the last week and a half!  Thanks for your patience everyone!  I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel... {or cave - either way, there's light!!!}

Spring Mini Session Preview... {Tri Cities TN Portrait Photographer}

I need to do this more often... take pictures just for fun.  Get my daughter all dressed up and go out into a field and just. have. fun.  It felt so good!!!!!  It's rare that she'll agree to let me take pictures of her {if you're a frequent to this site you already know that!} so when I have the opportunity I always take it!  I wanted to get some shots for a preview to my Serendipity Mini Sessions coming up next month.  I am sooooo excited for them!  There are still slots open, so contact me {HERE} with your top three preferred time slots to book yours!!

Remember how I told you I'm a Matilda Jane addict?  Well I'm nothing compared to my girl Lori!!  Her sweet little Ella is THE most stylish little 4-year-old you'll ever see (she's the smaller of these two beautiful brunettes)!  If only I had a never ending supply of money and a husband that wouldn't kill me... I'd buy EVERYTHING they sell.  LOVE it.  It was so much fun getting these two cutie pies all dressed up.  They had a blast chasing butterflies, having a tea party and running wild through the fields - so much that they almost didn't notice they were having their pictures taken!  Imagine that...   

I know you're swooning over these clothes...  And this is just a taste!  Check out the full line {HERE} and make a wish list.  You can send it to Lori and she'll take care of you!  And before you do - remember that each person who books a Serendipity Mini Session will recieve a $25 Matilda Jane gift card to get something special for your pictures!!  For more info on the Mini Sessions, click {HERE}.  Enjoy these... I am seriously in love with them.

Allie is Eight - sneak peek {Tri-Cities TN Portrait Photographer}

I absolutely love taking pictures of Miss Allie.  She should really be a model... I mean, can you say gorgeous??  And she's so comfortable and sweet in front of the camera.  I'd take pictures of her every day if I could!  We just did a quick mini session (especially quick when we heard thunder in the distance!!) of her in her baptism dress.  I love that you can tell she felt beautiful in it - as she should!!  You might recognize her from her just as beautiful family session this past fall, which you can see by clicking {HERE} or from her Mama's session for Revolution Dance and Gymnastics which you san see {HERE}.  Did I mention I love taking pictures of this family???  Enjoy!!

I just got some of the props I'll be using in the mail {think vintage banners, tea party setup, old suitcases, etc.}.  I will be posting them to my website in the next couple weeks! - ABOUT MATILDA JANE - I've teamed up with Lori Gammon, a trunk keeper for Matilda Jane clothing company to bring you some sweet Spring style.  Ever since I bought my first knot dress for my daughter a couple years ago, I was addicted.  There's nothing quite like Matilda Jane out there and the quality is amazing.  Lori will actually be at the mini sessions along with her trunk {a mini store on wheels!} showing off this season's styles.  Order asap in time for Easter {the spring colors are to die for}.  Make sure to get your order in by April 2nd to have it in time to show off at your mini session!!  Contact Lori with any questions and/or to place an order - and make sure to tell her BDP sent you!  After you book your mini, use your gift card to get something special for your session.   Lori Gammon, trunk keeper Phone: (646)761-2188 Email: lorig@matildajaneclothing.com ID #: 319

The Z Family 2011 - sneak peek {East Tennessee Photographer}

You might recognize the beautiful family from last year - right around this time...  It was almost like deja vu... it was freezing, everyone's eyes were watering, downtown Johnson City location, hints of red... {Click HERE to see their sneak peek from last year}  This year was better though because it rained BEFORE the session and not DURING!  Mama is one of my good friends who no longer lives here and this was a very special session.  Her hubby is leaving for Pakistan for a year - so these pictures with Daddy will be very cherished.  I love this family and am so happy I had the chance to capture them today!  Enjoy your sneak peek =)
