Catching Up | Middle Tennessee Photography {frogs and faeries}

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

I have been so, so, soooooooooo busy! From Wednesday to Friday last week, I had 6 sessions! Yes, 6! And three of those were newborns. Not to mention that Saturday was Brooklyn's 4th birthday party, and Sunday was mine and hubby's 6th wedding anniversary. And on top of all that? I caught some kind of flu bug Saturday night that I'm just now getting over.

I think I've finally got my head above water again. I hope to finish up a couple of sessions tonight for those of you that are waiting.

In the honor of saving time, this is going to be a combo sneak peak - all of the sessions I had over the past 5 days.

First off, I met up with Roland who was all of 12 days old. Typically, the older the newborn, the less likely they are to be really sleepy and curly, but Roland proved me wrong. He was so sweet.

I love it when they poot - oh, I mean smile! ;)

This one makes me giggle. Future body builder or pro-wrestler?

See how curly he still was? Look at those little toes playing peek-a-boo!

The next session really brings to life the phrase "3rd times the charm." We had to reschedule twice because of the crazy rain storms we've been having lately. But the third date we picked was gorgeously sunny.

Austin is three. What a fun age.

And baby sis, Addison, is 3 months.

This one is so sweet to me:

Ok, so Austin and I really bonded. He even gave me flowers. Hmm, I need him to talk to the hubby . . .

Finally, it was into the creek.

Now, a baby with some serious hair! Baby Eva probably has the longest hair of any baby I've ever photographed. She was such a dainty little 3 weeker. She definitely had plans of her own (which didn't include falling into a deep sleep!) but in the few minutes she did nap, we got some great stuff.

Then it was back to downtown Nashville for some shots of my good friend, Denise, for her upcoming country music album! Denise is an awesome singer. Stay tuned b/c I can't wait to showcase some of her music on here.

I think this one is my fav!

One Friday morning, I met up with Baby Vanessa who is 8 weeks old. I was pretty nervous about this session b/c babies this age don't typically sleep very much, and they aren't strong enough to hold up their heads. But don't worry - once again, I was proven wrong! Baby Vanessa slept for a few minutes after some milk and a nice rocking in the bean bag. She also totally made me eat my words about babies this young not being able to hold their heads up for an extended period of time.

Aren't those chubby cheeks gorgeous???

Ahh, and she's out . . .

Most 3 monthers can't do it this good!

Ha! This one makes me laugh.

Later that night, I met up with Miss Brooks and her family for her one year session.
