baby blue eyes

Meet this sweet family, and one of the cutest little ones with beautiful blue eyes! What a joy it was to be with them and to capture such sweet moments of them being them. We met on a beautiful fall day with a big blue sky and glowing light.  It was just perfect! They are an absolutely beautiful family, which made my job super easy! I could go on and on, but I won't, and I will just let you enjoy the images of joy, life, love, laughter, and family.

We are going to start with one of my absolute favorites... I don't know what it is about this shot, but i love it!

                        

Together as Family

I met this family at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens to capture some moments of them together.  They were together to celebrate one of my dear friends birthday, and I was so excited when she asked me if I would get some pictures of them all together.   They were a beautiful family and so fun and easy to work with! We had a great time.  I wanted to share a few.......

Maid of Honor/Photographer

 This past weekend one of my DEAR friends got married! You may remember her from this engagement shoot. I was so excited when she asked me to be her maid of honor and I knew that I could not be with her all day on her wedding day and not play "photographer" as well!  As you know it is my passion to capture special moments, such as a wedding day! Even though I was not the photographer, here are a couple of pictures that I managed to snap!

 

Sassafras Flowers  did an incredible job!!

 Have you ever seen a more beautiful bride?!?!

 Peeking on guests

 Love these next three and how you can see their excitement!!

Joy in love

What a joy it was to capture these sweet moments of Anna and Wesley on their wedding day!  When I think of Anna and Wesley I think of joy.  Joy in how they are together, joy in how they serve one another and joy in how they love one another. I have known the two of them for quite sometime now, so I was thrilled when Anna asked me to be their photographer for such a special time!  I can not tell you how much I love being behind the lens of my camera and capturing the range of emotions on a Wedding Day.  I can never stop smiling once I load the pictures to my computer and go through the images from the day.  I love creating something that allows special moments to be remembered and cherished.  Anna and Wesley, I am so excited for you!!! Congratulations!!!

I love this picture of maid of honor/big sis adoring and helping the bride/little sister

 

  

Love the emotion of the next two shots.
