McConnell Family 2012 - sneak peek {Kingsport, TN Photographer}

I have such a special place in my heart for this family...  For one, they were one of my very first family sessions when I moved out to TN - Miss Anna was just a baby!!  And second, they're awesome!!  I've had the pleasure of capturing them each year - this being the fourth time.  I can't tell you how much I love watching my sweet families grow and change.  This year someone new is in their pictures - Baby Haley was born only a few weeks ago.  She must be a very lucky girl to be born into such a sweet family with the coolest big brother and sister!!  We had a great time trekking around Warrior's Path State Park for this session - with lots of laughs and adventures (and dirty feet too! =)  Enjoy this sneak peek!  Thanks again guys!

Aubrey is Two - sneak peek {Tri Cities TN Family Photographer}

I absolutely LOVE photographing this sweet little girl and her family...  I remember when I first met her, almost 2 years ago!!  She just smiled and smiled... you can see her first session {HERE}.  I've then had the pleasure of taking her and her family's pictures a couple other times, both can be seen {HERE} and {HERE}.  I thought that maybe I wouldn't be so lucky, now that Miss Aubrey is two... but she was still sweet as ever!  I love watching my clients grow... it's like having a bunch of my own little babies running around!!  Love, love, love this girl and her mama!  Thanks for a great (and hot!!) evening - enjoy your sneak peek!

Simmons Family - sneak peek {East Tennessee Photographer}

It was the hugest compliment ever when Melissa contacted me about doing her family pictures.  Melissa happens to be the amazing photographer behind Meltilly Photography & Design... someone whom I admire and respect.  No pressure right??  We drove up to "The Beauty Spot" in Erwin, TN for their session.  I had never been before and wasn't sure what to expect.  It's name fits perfectly - it was gorgeous up there!!  The weather was amazing and we had tons of fun.  It was a bit on the bright side, but we made it work.  Her boys are the SWEETEST things ever!! I wanted to take them both home with me!   I had to laugh a couple times when she said, "Now I understand why my clients are so stressed - this is hard!!"  I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing in a month or two when I have my family's pictures done with her - hopefully my kiddos will behave as well as hers did!!  Thanks for a super fun time guys - enjoy your sneak peek!!  {if you can even call this a peek... I went a bit overboard, sorry!!}

Cousins - sneak peek {Bristol, VA Family Photographer}

When Mom called me up on Friday evening and asked if I could come take pictures of her niece and nephew who were only in town for a week, I wasn't sure what to do.  Normally I'd work it in, but I was getting ready to leave on Monday for 2 weeks with all three of my kiddos... and so say the least, was a bit on the stressed side.  If it were anyone else, I might have to turn them down, but I just love this Mama!!!  So Monday morning I headed up to Bristol to take pictures of these cute cousins and had a blast doing it.  They were a breeze to photograph and I always love chatting with Mom.  You'll be seeing more of their family in about a month when they add a new member to their family!  Enjoy this sneak peek!!  Hope everyone is enjoying the sun!!

Leedy Family 2012 - sneak peek {Johnson City, TN Photographer}

I had to laugh when one of the emails from Mom said, "If you thought it was hard to get pictures of Kyla last year... well, this year it's going to be impossible."  Ha!!  At least she gave me fair warning, right?!!  You can see how much Kyla has grown since her one year session by clicking {HERE}.  In all honesty though, she did great!!  Don't get me wrong - she's still a two-year old little girl who knows what she wants, and gave me a good (and much needed) workout, but she was awesome!  Mom and Dad though... that's another story.  =)  

I think one of my most favorite parts of being a photographer is watching these adorable babies grow up - and being able to capture them just as they are at this moment...  It's very special!!  Kyla is so sweet and sassy - the perfect mixture for a little girl!!  I had tons of fun with this awesome family, as well as "NeNe" (aunt Whitney) who will be gracing the blog in not too long for her bridal session - and was such a great helper in keeping Kyla happy.  Thank you for a great evening (minus all the bug bites all over me!!) and enjoy your sneak peek!!!

Simpson Family 2012 - sneak peek {Kingsport TN Family Photographer}

Fun would be an understatement to describe this family...  I said at least five times throughout the session, "I wish someone was taking a video of this..."  I don't even know where to start!  I met Mom and Amanda when we did Amanda's senior portraits last August.  You can see her sneak peek by clicking {HERE}.  We finally were able to nail down and date and get this family some pictures - it's been FIVE years since their last one!!  Thanks for an awesome time and lots of laughs!  Enjoy your sneak peek!!

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!!!}
