Baby Merritt, Six Month Session

Little Merritt was the happiest baby for his six month session! Just look at all his sweet smiles. :) He did such a good job for these milestone pictures, showing us how he could sit up on his own and how he loved to play with his feet while on his back. Of course he loved cuddling with his mom and dad, but when they put him down he also loved laughing at their silly songs and gestures that were so helpful in bringing out his smiles and giggles. He is the center of their world, and they are the center of his as well!

Baby Shade, One Year Session

Shade was a few months over a year old for this session, but we’ll go ahead and call it his one year photo shoot anyways. :)
This family was such a joy to work with on this super windy, summer day! We took these pictures at Shade’s grandad’s house, where he was right at home drinking from the water hose and chasing down the horses. He is a country boy, through and through, already. :) I love that we got to take these at a place that is dear to their hearts, as that will make looking back at these photos even more special as he grows up.
Chasing Shade around the farm gave me a good workout, but it was definitely worth it! I’m glad we got to capture some of his sweet personality as well as some of the mischievousness that I think most little guys his age possess (and I don’t think they ever grow out of, haha). Such a fun session and such a wonderful family to work with!

Happy first year, Shade!

Baby Knox, One Year Session

I photographed Alison and Bobby’s engagement session and wedding a few years ago, and was so excited when she asked me to take pictures of them with their sweet baby boy last year for his first birthday! Knox was such a fun little guy to work with, he was on the move and ready to explore everything. We all got a good workout at this session but it was worth it to get these sweet photos! I love that we were able to capture his playful, mischievous spirit in his expressions. Of course we had to get some pictures with a TN Volunteers football theme before the session was over. :) With a name like Knox, what else would you expect? We ended the session with a cake smash, but he wasn’t too thrilled to have messy hands so their dog Yadi was happy to step in and help him with that. ;)

Happy first year little Knox!
