Fall Mini Sessions, and more... {East Tennessee Portrait Photographer}

First and foremost, I want to give you the scoop on my 2012 Fall Mini Sessions!!  I'm excited to be doing them at Storybrook Farms in Jonesborough this year - an absolutely GORGEOUS venue!!  If you have never been before, you're in for a great treat!  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 the kiddos occupied while Mom and Dad are filling out paperwork and waiting their turn.  There will also be lots of gorgeous product samples to check out, including Christmas cards and gift ideas.  This is an awesome opportunity to get a great family shot, your Christmas cards ordered and save some time!  Perfect for the family on the go.  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!

Kathleen Class of 2012 - sneak peek {Senior Portrait Photographer}

Every time I get the opportunity to do a senior session I'm reminded how much I LOVE them!!!  Kathleen was no exception.  She was super laid back and comfortable in front of the camera.  I think I told her at least 5 times that she should look into modeling.  Am I right??  We shot her session in Downtown Jonesborough - one of my favorite places for a session.  Only problem was that the mosquitos were OUT. OF. CONTROL!!  I had to edit out several bites in these pictures - that's how bad!!  My legs were covered when I got in my car... Yuck!!  Other than that,  it was a perfect evening.  Thanks Kathleen and enjoy your sneak peek!!

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!

Courtney + Brian = Married - sneak peek {Tennessee Photographer}

Courtney is in one way or another related to me... my sister-in-law's husband is her uncle, which makes her my... ?  niece-in-law?  Either way, it was truly a pleasure working with her and Brian.  They are THE most laid back, sweet, relaxed, go with the flow, happy and in love couple I've worked with.  We headed to Washington D.C. for their ceremony and pictures - I had never been before, so my family and I came up a couple days early to tour around the city before the wedding.  What a fun city with so much to do!  

You can't tell in these pictures, but it was INSANELY HOT!!!!!!  Thank GOODNESS I wasn't in any of these because I looked like a sweaty tomato.  Jeans and a black shirt was a bad choice.  Somehow Courtney never once looked flushed in her fluffy dress!!  They are a gorgeous couple with a wonderful future ahead of them.  Best of luck to the two of you and thank you for allowing me to capture your special day!  Enjoy the sneak peek!

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!!}

Lucas - 6 months {Kingsport, TN Children's Photographer}

This adorably squishy piece of perfection is my baby boy!!  I still can't believe six months (well almost 7 now really - hey better late than never right??) have past by since he arrived!  Looking back at his newborn pictures is so bittersweet.  Why does it have to go by so quickly??  I just love him to PIECES!!  He is such a laid back and happy baby, thank goodness.  He loves to eat - anything but green beans, is getting pretty good at sitting up - but his big brother just loves when he goes "TIMBER!!" and is making super adorable "mama" and "googoo" sounds.  But more than anything else, this little guy loves his big sister and brother.  He loves being near them and watching them.  We are so grateful to have him in our family!!  

These aren't amazing - I took them on a whim, all within about 4 minutes and didn't have anyone else to help me, so it was hard to get the smiles to last when I stuck my face behind the camera.  I love them anyway!!  Enjoy!

 

 

Baby Arie - sneak peek {Kingsport TN Newborn Photographer}

This little guy is one of my best friend's son - her fourth!!  He's the tiniest little boy and was so great for his pictures!  I love when it's warm enough to do part of a newborn session outside!  This sweet little baby is one lucky kid!  He is protected and loved by two brothers, one sister and a set of awesome parents.  If that's not lucky, I don't know what is!  Congrats on the new addition guys - enjoy the sneak peek!!

Monica + Tyler - sneak peek {San Diego, CA Photographer}

This gorgeous and adorable gal happens to be my little sister...  I still can't believe she's MARRIED, but she couldn't have chosen a more perfect and wonderful guy.  I'm so grateful for how happy they both make each other!!  I wish them the best of luck as they begin their adventure together!!

We all went to San Diego where they both live and where the wedding was.  Tyler and Monica chose to do a First Look, which in my opinion, is the smartest thing a couple can do to make their wedding day more enjoyable and less stressful!  The night before the big day, we went out to Balboa Park (and a couple other locations) for a fun and relaxing evening of picture taking.  It was so special to be able to watch Tyler see Monica in her dress for the first time!  They're so adorable... did I already mention that?

Everything was beautiful and the weather was perfect!  I loved meeting and getting to know Tyler's family - they fit right in with our wild and crazy bunch!  It was a little crazy being the photographer and a bridesmaid (yes I'm actually IN some of these pictures, thanks to my amazing Aunt Cynthia!)  The reception was tons of fun - everyone had a great time.  Nothing is better than family!!  Tyler and Monica rode off into the night on their bikes at the end of the party and are doing great!  Enjoy this walk through their big day...

One of my sisters is on a church mission, so she was unable to attend the wedding (although, she did in spirit - she wore her own bridesmaid outfit that day too!!)  We took this picture for her - all the girls, oldest to youngest (minus our "little" brother)...  We missed her so much!!  {FYI: It's rare to see a picture of me on here, so for those of you who don't know what I look like, I'm the oldest, the one on the far left.}
