Engagement - Russell & Courtney

Courtney and Russell are getting married next year in 2012. We went ahead and did their engagement session and had so many beautiful moments as the sun was setting, gorgeous brown fields and a butterfly who made a special visit. Congratulations guys! 

Courtney & Russell had the funnest moment together on this part of the shoot. Russell spotted a butterfly whose wing was on the mend and it crawled all over them! It was so cool. : )

Engagement - Rodger & Karen

Rodger & Karen are getting married in a few short weeks and boy, was it fun doing their engagement shoot! Rodger had me laughing half the time. He was so sweet with Karen and knew exactly what to do and when. Precious couple!!

Baby Beckham 3 Months

I'm proud to announce my younger sister, Briana, is a mother of their first child, Beckham. (nice name huh?) : ) John Beckham Pitt to be exact.  Our dad passed away 1.5 years ago and it was neat to also have the family name for this little cutie pie.  So here are a few of my sister and her little one. Her husband, John, is finishing up medical school so he wasn't in town for this visit, otherwise he'd be in these shots too. (And this is *not* me, some have asked).  We look a lot a like but nope, not me. 

scrunchy face - love it! 

Nashville Wedding - Kelsey & Chadd

Kelsey & Chadd had their photos done at Travellers Rest before the ceremony at their home church, Donelson Fellowship.  When they first saw each other in the private side garden, it was really precious. Everyone watched from a distance as they spoke and saw each other for the first time.  The group photos and family photos were done there as well then we all traveled to Donelson Fellowship where beautiful strung lights and lit candles filled the room.  Several people commented that as they entered the room before anyone even arrived there was such a peace there. I felt it too! It was as if Heaven was waiting and poised to unite these two. I don't think a dry eye was present as the ceremony began (including myself)...now you know when the photographer cries behind the lens, something special was definitely taking place b/w this lovely couple. : )
