Cheeky Boy | Nashville Tennessee Baby Photography

Ahhh, this little guy is seriously just so fun to photograph! I couldn’t believe how much he had grown since his 3 month session. How is it that just 3 more months can go by and a baby can totally change and grow so much! This little dude totally just shines in front of the camera. I absolutely adore all of his cute expresions, especially when he would make this super cute fishy face!

Until Next time…..

Colors, Colors Everywhere | Nashville Tennessee Commercial Photographer

This was actually the first shoot with my newest commercial client, whom is an amazing textile designer. She and I had brain stormed ideas on the best ways to photograph her debuting fabric and clothing lines for over 6 months. What we came up with, I think is brilliant! Everything from the location to the model to the ideas; just came together to create a beautiful children’s commercial photo shoot that showcases her fabrics fabulously!! This was shot at the beginning of March and looking at these images and remembering how mild the weather was that day, makes me wish that our current 100 degree temps would go away! I’m so glad we did this commercial shoot then, instead of the middle of the summer. I don’t think any of us would have survived it, had we been out in the summer heat!

Until Next time…..

Little man Ethan and his mommy and daddy were such a pleasure to photograph on a beautiful summer morning. Ethan is a total cutie pie. I just adore his red hair and his sweet little giggle! What I really loved the most about this session, though, was how mom and dad played and interacted with their sweet boy.
