Spring Fever Special

Goodbye, Winter.

Hello, Spring!

I love Spring. Being a spring chicken gets me a little extra attention in April. My husband and I celebrate 12 years of marriage this spring. I am thankful for the extra hour of daylight (as are my serotonin levels.) And Easter is my favorite holiday- and it's not just because of those Cadbury mini-eggs. I love to celebrate the resurrection of the Savior as the world renews itself with fresh rain and the budding of all things green.



This is a photo I took of our first snow this year. At the time, I thought we might not get much more than a few flakes. I was very wrong. Nevertheless, I am happy to say goodbye to winter's snow and hello to the April rain and May flowers.



So while I'm delirious with this spring fever, I have a really special offer for you. Before the end of this month (March,) schedule a Spring Session (must take place during April or May,) and I will add a complimentary 11x14 print to your purchased collection! I have just a handful of dates available during April and May, so call or email me soon to reserve your spot on the calendar. Remember, you must book the appointment before the end of March to be eligible for the Spring Fever Special.

Brand New {Clarksville, TN Newborn Photographer}

I was excited to meet the new edition to this family. I kept finding myself holding my breath in hopes that I wouldn't disturb this sleeping beauty who was 11 days new. Her big brother wasn't very happy with me as I clearly invaded his space- a bedroom with a nice big window and great light. But I think he forgave me, because he did eventually show me the worms in his prized tacklebox. Here's the pretty baby and her sweet family.








This is a sample of the baby announcements that I am now offering. I love how the black and white photos look on this pretty pink card. (All names have been changed to protect the innocent- well, I didn't change my own name, but then perhaps I'm not the innocent.) I will have more announcments in both pink and blue to show you soon.

LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE

One really fun little corner of the online photography world is the blog i heart faces. Readers are invited to share a photo that fits a weekly theme. I haven't played before, but who can resist "Hilarious Outtakes" week? What mom doesn't have a thousand outtakes? Those pre-holiday shoots never disappoint...at least not when it comes to off the wall expressions and incredibly akward poses. Oh the photos that don't make it onto the Christmas card!

Here are a few of my little darlings from this past holiday shoot.



And my littlest gave me a favorite photo during our session the previous year. It's a stretch to say it is "hilarious." Everytime I look at it I teeter back and forth between giggling and crying. I believe "pitifully adorable" describes it well.



Head on over to i heart faces' "Hilarious Outtakes" for some good laughs this week.
