It's my party | Murfreesboro Baby Photography { frogs and faeries }

And I'll cry if I want to.

Christa's mom wanted to bring her in for a cake smash mini session to create some cute birthday party invitations, but Christa had other plans. Any time we would sit her down on the paper, she would immediately start crying. We tried everything! So, then we decided to change scenery and go outside. There was a breeze blowing and a few raindrops falling that interested Christa for just long enough to get some beautiful images.

Double the fun - Twins! | Murfreesboro Newborn Photography { frogs and faeries }

I can't begin to describe how excited I was when Addison and Anslee's mom called me to set up their newborn session. TWINS!! How fun! These little girls were so good. Once we got them to sleep, they were out and let me position them any way I liked.

I only have time to post a few, but I'll be back on after my session tonight with more from these two sweeties.

Incredibly Sweet Sisters | Murfreesboro Children's Photography { frogs and faeries }

Tuesday, I had a wonderful session with two beautiful sisters. We started out in the creek at OFP, then headed to their amazing wheat fields with my favorite pink chair.

Oh, yeah, they're gonna make pretty babies! | Murfreesboro Engagement Photography { frogs and faeries }

Well, in a few years! And I'm already calling dibs on the newborn photography. Ok, guys? :)

Barbara and Brian are one smokin' hot couple. I like to think of them as my own life-sized Barbie and Ken. (I'm sure you've not heard that one before . . .) They are the cutest couple, and so, so in love. I can't wait for their wedding in just under two months.

So, we started out at OFP for some romantic shots, then we headed to Nash-vegas for some hot, sexy shots.

Barbara and Brian ended up with some spider bites from their session. Ugh! Umm, sorry about that! But, don't you think it was all worth it???? :)

Soon to Be | Murfreesboro Engagement Photography { frogs and faeries }

Mr. and Mrs. - that is! Jenn and Brad will be getting married in less than two weeks, and I have the honor of photographing their wedding! It's going to be such a special day, and I can't wait.

We had an awesome e-session (that's short for engagement session in photography lingo!) before I left for vacation. We started out at the Parthenon and then over to Centennial Park in front of the pond.

Smith Family | Murfreesboro Family Photography { frogs and faeries }

I'm gonna keep the chit chat to a minimum seeing as it's so late that I can't even think straight anymore! This is a family that is very near and dear to my heart.

Love you guys!

We started out on the Square for some urban images.

Finally | Murfreesboro/Centennial Park Family Photographer { frogs and faeries }

Whew . . . I'm finally getting caught up enough to post some long over-due sneak peaks. I'm really not sure if vacations are worth it - especially when you are running a one-man show! I have so much work waiting on me still, and I've been back from Florida for over a week!

Thank you to this great family who has been patiently awaiting the preview of their session at Centennial Park in Nashville - which by the way is a great spot for a session! You may recognize this family as the winners of the Home Display contest.

What a gorgeous family!
