Lately I’ve really been spending time on honing my window light shooting. In some ways it is a whole new and different way to take portraits, and it has really been a fun challenge. But I just love the clean, soft look it provides. Here are a few window light shots of little Riley. She was easy to get posed, and she decided to touch off the first portrait with just a hint of a smile.
Perfect, huh?

Last week we had Jack in for his 1 year session. We love doing our 1-year sessions, getting to watch the kiddos grow up at each stage of life in that first year. They really are always changing. As proof of that, Laura and I noticed how much Jack is starting to look like his daddy. He seemed to take after his mom, at least up until now, but dad is really starting to shine through!
Hmmmm… maybe the same thing will happen with our son, Will? Who knows… but Jack is giving me some hope for it!

I just finished editing this session and I wanted to share it with you guys! Here is little Caleb, Justin and Shelley’s newest kiddo. We had a good time, and got some really great portraits! I’ve been working with natural window light alot more lately for newborn shoots, and I was really excited with how this first one came out. See what you guys think.
Also, don’t forget that Spring is really around the corner! The flowers in front of our house are just itching to bloom! They’ve already grown up quite a bit — so Spring is almost here! If you’d like to book a Spring session w/ us for some great portraits in bloom, we’d love to do it! Just remember that we fill up quickly during this time, so book early!

We’ve got a great treat for you today, and she comes right from Paris, TN!
Little Channing was in a wonderful mood for the whole session and she was a blast to work with. It sure helped that her big sisters did such a good job of helping Channing smile and laugh. I thought I’d post a sneak peak for you all!

Family portrait season is here! Can you believe it? This is the time of year where weddings are starting to come to a close, and senior sessions are on nearly complete (but we have LOTS of room for any of you seniors still wanting to book!) Which means — its nearly my favorite time of year! The weather is cooling down to a perfect 60-70 degrees, the leaves will be changing, and the harvest time has come. I love the fall. It is fun, beautiful, and a perfect transition between the hot summer and frigid winter. Perfect, indeed! This is the time of year I can drink coffee all day long and get away with it, and pumpkin pie and smoked turkey are all the rage.
But it also means something else, too! With the fall season already here, its family portrait season! It sure snuck up on us all! Everyone get ready, okay? Our plan is to have a couple of Super Saturday Fall Portrait days. If you sign up ahead of time, there will be no commission fee for your 30 minute session. Plus, we’re going to have some really neat incentives and promotionals for your portraits.
With all that in mind… its time for a family portrait sneak peek, wouldn’t you say? I sure would. Here is a terrific family session we had a few days ago. We did an on location outdoor session and truly had a blast. A big thanks to the Adams. Enjoy!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Labor Day! Hopefully most of you haven’t labored too much, right? I guess I can’t say the same for myself… we’ve been really busy of late and we’re working hard on getting caught back up. But oh well… I find its hard to call it labor when you enjoy what you do. At least that’s my perspective.
I just finished editing a fantastic senior portrait session. Bethany is alot of fun and has been great to work with! She has some really great photos and I just wanted to upload a few of them for you to see. Enjoy!

I’ve got a great treat for everyone today! Jamie is one of our Senior Firelight Spokesmodels, and we’re really proud to have her on our team. We had a lot of fun with her doing her senior portraits. We decided for this session to do a bit of nice elegance in a garden and then also move over to some of our favorite locations for an urban session, which is one of our specialties. I absolutely love the photos, and have been wanting to get you all a sneak peek of these up as soon as I could. I’ve been so busy creating alot of stuff lately, mainly alot of wedding albums, which are fun, but I usually can’t show those on the blog until they are done… so here’s something I can show! Thanks, Jamie! We had so much fun with you and we’re looking forward to your second session!
