Baby Evy, Newborn Session

Introducing baby Evy Jaymes!
This sweet little niece of ours was born this summer, and we are so in love with her chubby little cheeks and her adorable smiles. She looks so much like her big brother did when he was a baby, with her tucked lower lip and her serious brow when she is trying to concentrate on something. :) But her eyes are more girly to me, those are all Evy.

Baby Evy was named after two very special people— her great-grandmother Evy, who loves her dearly, and holds and rocks her after Sunday dinner as often as she can, and her grandad Jim, who passed away earlier this year. Though he didn’t get to meet her, he is surely looking down at his second grand baby with that proud smile of his! She was already very loved before she was even born.

Welcome to the world, baby Evy! We are so glad you are here. <3

(I just had to get this picture of Esau, who looked so peaceful taking a nap on the couch when I was about to leave. So sweet!)

Baby Hayes, One Year Session

Baby Hayes is a one-year-old!
Though this family usually comes back to our area for his pictures, I did a weekend of sessions in Nashville this Summer and was able to get them in then so they didn’t have to make the trip. We decided to go to the Percy Warner Park Stairs, and it was a lovely background for their pictures!
We had a hot, humid day, but that didn't seem to bother Hayes, who was showing off his walking skills like a pro. :) He didn’t want to stay still for long, exploring the park and taking it all in as fast as he could. And he was just the happiest little guy! I love his adventurous, cheerful spirit, and that we were able to capture just a bit of that at this session. Though we didn’t stick it out as long as normal because of the heat, we still got some sweet, sweet pictures of this little family.

Happy first birthday, baby Hayes! It has been a joy being your first photographer!

Baby Mary Carr, Four Month Session

I had a weekend of Nashville sessions this Summer, and was so happy to get this little family in while I was in town! I photographed Catherine and Alex’s wedding several years ago, and like all of our wedding clients, they hold a special place in our hearts. Since their wedding, they have moved more towards the Nashville area, and this year they welcomed Mary Carr into their world! The timing of this visit was just right for me to capture her four month milestone for them. Mary Carr loved cuddling with her mom and dad, did a great job pushing up on her belly, and her big blue eyes gazed at the flowers and trees around her with sparkling wonder. She is absolutely adorable! I’m so happy for Catherine and Alex, these three make a precious little family.

Special thanks to Sinking Creek Farms in Murfreesboro for letting us take these pictures on their grounds.
