The M Family - sneak peek {tri cities tn portrait photographer}

SO.  MUCH.  FUN.  That's what I have to say about this session tonight with the M Family!  Seriously, I love them!!!  The lighting this evening was perfection and as always, I love shooting at Tipton Haynes Historical Site.  Even more than that, I love when clients come relaxed, happy and up for anything.  It makes for not only a super smooth and enjoyable session, but awesome pictures!!   And to top it all off, they brought along "Aunt B" who was my sidekick and knew all the secrets to get Mr. Hudson to smile.  The pressure was on though because each time she'd get Hudson to give us a smile she'd say, "Did you get that??" haha!!  So many other funny moments I could tell you about {like me telling Houston {Dad} to smile in baby talk instead of Hudson {baby}!!  But I'm trying to get this up before midnight so that I can text Mom who's probably checking the site at this very moment!!  =)  And I have to catch a 6am flight in the morning!! The thought of it makes me tired... 

Anyways, here's the goods - enjoy and again, thanks for an amazing session M Family - love you guys!!  Much more to come!

 

The L Family - sneak peek {johnson city tn family photographer}

I could seriously take pictures of this family every day.  No joke.  I first met them when I took Miss Aubrey's pictures back in November.  She was so happy, sweet and SO EASY to take pictures of!!  And to top it off, she stinkin' adorable!!!  This time I had the pleasure taking the whole family's pictures - along with Dad's parents who were in town for the weekend.  I think it had warmed up a TAD {key word: tad} from this morning, but it was still super cold.  However, it was perfectly overcast which makes for gorgeous lighting.  Miss Aubrey was also celebrating her 1st birthday, so we ended our session back at the studio to get some {warmer} shots of her in her birthday girl outfit.  The poor thing was worn out and her little teeth hurt, so you'll be seeing more of her birthday pics in the next few weeks when she's feeling better.  Thanks again you guys - and enjoy your sneak peek!!

Mr. Jayden & Miss Alayna - sneak peek {kingsport tn childrens photographer}

So I get a call this morning from Mom who's on her way to Johnson City for the day (they live about an hour and a half away).  She says, "This is probably crazy to even ask you this, but could you take pictures of my two kids today?"  Sure!!  It just so happened that I had my morning free, so we squeezed in an impromptu session for Jayden and Alayna - who both have birthdays this week!  The weather may look nice in the pics, but it was fffrrrrreeeeezzzzinnnngg!!!!  The poor kiddos were shivering and shaking, but we somehow managed to snag some adorable shots of them.  Big brother was AWESOME and such a good sport.  We ended the session with a drive back to my studio for a few {much warmer} shots!!  Enjoy your sneak peek guys - so glad I was able to spend time with you all today!!  Happy Birthday to Jayden and Alayna!!!  =)

The Awesome W Family - sneak peek {Elizabethton TN Family Photographer}

I just love this family!!  Why??  Because they are so relaxed, friendly, fun and real.  AND because they remind me of MY awesome family who are WAY too far away.  You might remember Zak and Rebecca - I shot their super cute red, white and blue wedding this summer and it was so great to see them and their whole family again!  You might not be able to tell from these pictures, but it was FREEZING.  Like - FFFFFREEZING!!  Everyone was such great sports though and we had a good time despite the cold =)  Thanks again guys - you rock!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Little Miss Ava and fam - sneak peek {johnson city tn family photographer}

Oh boy did miss Ava give me a run for my money!!!!  This little cutie pie does NOT sit still - in fact, I don't think she knows what that word means! haha  But she was such a crack up and so sweet.  You may remember her and her gorgeous mommy from Jessi & David's Wedding.  Mom and Dad were so relaxed and chill - they just kept cracking up at Ava, who was just eating up all the attention!!  Thanks for a fun time guys and enjoy your sneak peek! =)

M Family - Sneak Peek {Johnson City TN Family Photographer}

This was another special session because this is my OTHER best bud and her beautiful family.  The kiddos gave me a run for my money tonight, but we managed to get lots of cute shots despite their silliness.  I finally threw out the "Don't you DARE smile at me!!!" gig and they totally fell for it =) muah ha ha ha {evil laugh}  I just love them and are so grateful to have them as friends.  Hope you enjoy your sneak peek guys =)

J Family - sneak peek {Kingsport TN Family Photographer}

I will take pictures for this family any day!!  It is so fun to see my return clients - and how much they've grown since the last time I saw them!  Miss B was only a couple weeks old when I saw her last, so she's changed a LOT.  I still can't get over how CUTE she is!! She was all smiles - I don't think I heard even one whine out of her!!  It was fun to check out a new location as well - these were taking at The Netherland Inn in Kingsport.  There are tons more adorable ones, but here are a couple of my favorites!  Enjoy your sneak peek and thanks for a great evening guys - hope you got some rest!! {They drove in from a 10+ hour road trip THIS MORNING!}

 

O Family - sneak peek!! {johnson city tn family photographer}

Ohhhh my gosh this was the cutest bunch of kids EVER.  You would think a session with four kids under the age of 6 would be pure insanity, but it was such a fun and relaxing session!!  I had a blast playing and singing with the kids and talking with mom.  The kids were so sweet, well-behaved and fun.  The two oldest reminded me of my kiddos.  And the babies... how cute are they??  Gives me baby fever.  (not for twins though!)  PS: Props to Mom for getting all FOUR kids ready and happy before I even got there by herself!!  She's super mom!!  Thanks again for a great time guys - enjoy your sneak peek! =)  Lots more to come...

The Zito Family - Sneak Peek {Johnson City TN Family Photographer}

Well this session was going great until about 20 minutes in... dark clouds starting rolling in, it got instantly FREEZING and within minutes started pouring rain on us!!  We did the best we could with the conditions we were given and somehow managed to get lots of really cute shots still!

This was a very special session for two reasons: 1.  I love this family - Mom is one of my best friends, and seriously - how stinkin cute are they??  and 2:  I had a fabulous photographer's assistant with me.  She has six years of experience under her belt considering that she's "been taking pictures ever since she was born" haha  My daughter tagged along and did an amazing job at getting her little buddies to smile and laugh for the camera - and probably mom and dad too!!  It was fun to have her there, she was so excited to be able to come!!

Wish we could have had more time... guess we'll just have to do another session again soon!! Enjoy your sneak peek guys =)

N Family {Sneak Peek} - Johnson City TN Family Photographer

The only thing that went wrong with this session is that we ran out of light too soon!!!! I could have kept taking pictures for at least another hour!  I'm sure the kids might have went on strike against that idea - but there were so many more pics I wanted to get!  Even still - we got tons of good ones.  There are lots more, but I wanted to put up a quick sneak peek in case Mom and Dad are up as late as I am waiting for something to look at =)  What a beautiful and happy (and wild - in a good way!) family this is!  Enjoy!
