Focus on the details

Today was the last field trip my daughter will take as an elementary school student. My baby is growing up. In the fall she will enter the middle school and more of her innocence will be lost. I'm so glad I was able to go with her today and witness the pure joy her and her classmates had at Honeysuckle Hill Farm. It really is the little things that make you smile. We all need to take a step back once and awhile, and focus on the details.

Practice makes perfect!

If you knew my daughter at all, you would know that she's not the most photogenic person. So when I asked her to be my "guinea pig" a couple months ago so I could try out my new prime lens (50mm f/1.8) I didn't really expect anything great to come out of it. But, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm still figuring what how to use this lens to its fullest potential. And I keep telling myself...Practice makes perfect! Take a look at what we came up with. She posed herself, by the way. Classic Summer.

Jessica & Jared

I don't know how you spent your St. Patty's day, but Chad and I had the pleasure of spending it with a great couple in downtown Nashville. Chad knows Jessica's mom from work, and she asked us to take some pics of her daughter and soon to be son-in-law. We had the best time with them!! And when the weather didn't hold out, we stepped inside for a drink. The best way to kill time on a rainy St. Patty's day if you ask me :)

We want to thank Jessica and Jared for allowing us to spend this time with them. They had limited time together that weekend, and we were honored that they choose to spend a few of their precious hours together, with us. Thank you. I hope you love these as much as we do!!!

Grandma's boys

Earlier this month we had the pleasure of doing some pictures for my friend Crystal and her family. We've been taking pictures of Crystal's son since he was six month old... and it's always a fun time!! This time, she brought along her mom and her brother's family so we could get some pictures of Grandma with her boys. I just adore this family and was honored to be able to capture these moments for them! Here's a look.

Last month my best friend and her family finally got the chance to come and visit us here in Tennessee. We had SOO much fun!! I've definitely missed her company and loved having them around. There are only a few people in our lives who "get us" and she's one of those people for me.

During their visit we took some time to get a couple photos of her beautiful daughter. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do :)
