The Assistant & The Intern | Meaningful Monday 7.5

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 Posted in Meaningful Monday, News, Personal

At this point, I’m not sure why I continue to call it Meaningful Monday… my blog entry is never up until Tuesday! Regardless of the day, I’m excited to introduce my assistant, Selena, which many of you already know and an unfamiliar face, Meghan the intern! Meghan just joined our team and we are happy to have her aboard.  She is eager to learn, has a deep passion for photography and enjoys photographing nature. You’ll be seeing more of her and Selena in the future as one or both of them will be assisting with photo sessions.  Meghan may even be second shooting with me on occasion. In case one camera wasn’t enough… now there may be two! We had such a great time last night on location and the lighting was simply stunning! Check back soon as I plan to post photos and a brief bio of Meghan and Selena to my main blog page. I’m blessed to have such great help!

Lil Ansley | 6 months | Knoxville Baby Photographer

Saturday, August 28, 2010 Posted in Babies

As a child photographer, I have the privledge of photographing babies as they reach important milestones. By photographing them multiple times throughout the year, I build relationships with my clients and often think of them as friends and not necessarily clients. After our first session, I placed Ansley’s mom in the “friends” category! Every time I’ve photographed Ansley, her mom is just as excited, if not more excited during the session than I am! I know she and her husband are proud parents and they have every right to be. Look at how adorable their little girl is at 6 months old! Playful, full of smiles, occasional yawning and lots of personality. Enjoy your six month sneak peeks!

Day 3: Revolutionary City

Friday, August 27, 2010 Posted in Personal

On our third and final day of tours, we headed back to Colonial Williamsburg and watched the reenactments of Revolutionary City. I love a good production, but I’m not a fan of large groups of sweaty bodies:) I tried to break away from the crowd to capture a few good shots from each scene and was pleasantly surprised when the actors played up to the camera! To end the evening, I snapped a few photos of my parents and Micah. I suppose I could call it a “mini”  mini session; it only lasted 5 minutes. All you moms with cameras, don’t feel like you are alone in your quest for a good pic of your child/children. It takes everything out of me to capture one good shot of Micah. We are mommies to our children, not photographers:)

Day 2: Great Hopes Plantation

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 Posted in Personal

Today was day two of our vacation and we spent most of our time at Great Hopes Plantation. There were historic farmers working the land, live demonstrations and lots of animals on the grounds. Micah loves all animals so he didn’t mind spending hours at the same location. You will notice he is wearing his three cornered hat in all of the photos. When my mom purchased it, I didn’t think he would wear it more than two minutes. To my surprise, he grabbed it as we were heading out the door this morning and wore it all day. He even tried to sneak it under the covers during nap time but mommy caught him and took it away!

Childhood Vacations | Meaningful Monday 7.4

Monday, August 23, 2010 Posted in Meaningful Monday, Personal

If you are a facebook follower, you probably know that I am away on holiday with my family. Although I haven’t been on vacation with both of my parents in over 15 years, I have vivid childhood memories of our family vacations together. There was a predominate theme that I recall clearly: History, which translated to boredom in my little mind! My mom and dad loved to visit historic sites and often took me to reenactments of the Civil War. At the time, I didn’t value a good ole fashion history lesson, nor did I jump at the chance to invite friends along on our family vacations. After all, what teen wants to spend two weeks of their summer learning about history?! I only wish I had appreciated the places and lessons I could have learned as a young child/teenager. I suppose it is only appropriate that our travels have brought us to a rich city of History, Williamsburg, VA. Now that I am an adult and thoroughly enjoy History, this vacation has very special meaning to me! Not to mention, it is our first vacation with Micah tagging along! He is too young to understand the importance of History now, but I hope he treasures our family “history outings” because I’d say there are lots more to come! Below are a few snapshots from Colonial Williamsburg. I hope to blog each day of our adventures, so check back soon!
