hartley is {almost} three!

It was so good to see Hartley again a few weeks ago. I had so much fun with she and her mom. We couldn't quite keep our balloons under control, but thankfully we had a resource right around the corner with a back up. ; )

I love to watch my baby plan babies grow. Hartley will be three in July and I had the pleasure of photographing her from birth through one year, so I've known her from the start! (Her family photo shoot from last fall is even featured on the top of my blog).It's amazing how much they change in the first few years of life. 

Thanks Hartley and McKenzie for coming to see me again! I loved every minute!

Hartley @ One & Hartley @ Almost Three

lucy and her sisters

The Gambrell sisters came to see me a couple of weeks ago and we had SO much fun! I love working with siblings! It was good to meet their mom, too. She and her husband are in ministry and are serving at a church in Oakland. It was nice to talk with her about her ministry and what God is doing here with our community of believers. Here are a few of our favorites. ; )

 

may sale

We were planning on being beach bound this last part of May, but it didn't work out. Because of that, I have 4 openings left on my calendar. Maybe you need updated pictures of your kiddos or want to try out those pinterest photo ideas you've been pinning away for such a time as this. I'd love to work with you to make your session come to life.

I have a special deal to offer anyone who wants to fill my openings. We can't waste these final beautiful days of Spring with low humidity. Email me for more details.

Meet Jake.

I love when I get to meet new families through my business. Jake's family is from Collierville. When they came to visit me, I had no idea they were the family that started this wonderful business I'd heard about a few weeks ago at church. Check out their site, AgapeNorth.com and this great video. This is my kind of company and they deserve your business, too. : )

I loved meeting Jake's, Mom. : )

Meet Ivey. 

Tomorrow is her birthday!

She will be ONE and she is a blessed little girl. 

sisters

Andrea has been planning this session since Winter. When she booked it, I had no idea that it would be the peak week for my azaleas. Spring sprung early this year and these girls got to benefit from the beauty of blooms all around for their session. We had so much fun this day! I just love photographing sisters.

 

my 3:00

We beat the rain! I've been dreaming of this shot for a while. I saw a similar shot on pinterest. I knew I wanted to use balloons for Jonah's 3rd birthday shot because he is obsessed with flying, "jumping to the sky", etc. His imagination inspires me. It's been too cold and windy lately to get outdoors with balloons. It was 60 degrees here today so I finally had the chance to capture it.

$10 worth of balloons + a $20 basket + a $12 hat and a cute little boy under the hat = such a fun photo!

He's turning 3 next week! Can you believe it? I can't wait to see what The Lord has in store for this little guy. It's so much fun being his mom! 

want your order before Christmas?

Next Friday, December 9, is the last day to get your order and payment in for guarenteed delivery by Christmas. EPC photographs make great gifts under the tree. My niece, surprisingly, had pictures of my kids on her Christmas list. I am going to hook her up. LOL! 

My last day to work for 2011 is Dec. 19, unless one special little baby planner is born early, and in that case my last day will be the 16th. I want to have everything wrapped up, no pun intended, : ) including, uploads, orders, proofs, etc. by that day. I haven't decided what my return day will be in January. All I want for Christmas is some extra special time with my children in the chilly first month of 2012. 

Until then, happy shopping and a Merry Christmas season to you! : )

a trip to memory lane: full circle moment at ole miss

I walked through this arch going to class many a day, 8 years ago. Many times, that year, I had a camera in hand headed to and from photography and photojournalism class. This is the place where my creativity launched and I developed the skills to begin the business that I enjoy today. 

Three weeks ago, I got to go back and spend the day with the Sprenkles. We shot their session in the Grove and the Circle and after a stop for lunch at Bottletree Bakery headed to Taylor. It was a fun walk down memory lane. I only wished we could have stayed longer. 

You know that picture in "You've Got Mail," where the mom is twirling the daughter. That was the look I was going after in this one. : )
