Beautiful and Fun Maternity | Clarksville TN, Nashville TN Maternity Photographer

 I just love maternity sessions. The joy and expectancy of that new little life growing inside is just contagious! There is just a special beauty about a pregnant woman. I had such a fun time with this couple. This maternity session was a special one. Just days before our appointment they had discovered their dog has cancer and would not last much longer. Of course we just had to turn the maternity session into a maternity/family session. As many of you know, our pets are family to us and we love them just the same. It hurts to lose a family member, whether it is a human member or a animal member. I am glad we were able to capture some memories with the whole family and the baby and doggie were able to be together in the photos, even if baby was still growing inside. I can't wait to meet the little guy when he arrives!

What to Wear July 2013! /Clarksville, TN Photographer

Color Trends for Your Summer Session!

    Are you wondering what you should wear for your summer photo session? Well, no need to worry anymore! There are lots of color trends that look great during the summer! Here is a sneak peek of some nice patterns that would work well for photos! 

       Lets start off with an outfit that has a nice, simple, and eye grabbing pattern; like a lovely dress. The pattern or print can have multiple colors like a blue, yellow, red, pink, brown, or even maroon! All of these colors would look great! Note: not every person in the photo needs to wear a pattern/print. Having too many patterns and prints going on at the same time will clash and make the photo too "busy"!

     Nice solid colors that are within the pattern will look very nice. These solid colors will help balance out the different colors within the photo! Someone can wear a nice blue polo with some brown shorts, while you wear your favorite solid yellow shirt along with your favorite shorts or capris that will make your photo look magnificent!

        Although bright colors are nice, you can also mix in a little of the darker neutrals as well! A neutral grey shirt paired with some maroon shorts is also a nice color trend to help blend all the different colors within the photo! Don't be nervous or unsure about your choices of color! There is always a way to blend these different colors into a harmonious and beautiful photo! Just remember, not every person in the photo should wear a pattern! Having multiple different patterns within a small area takes the eye off of the photo as a whole and will make all the colors clash within the photo!

What to Wear! June 2013 Clarksville, Tn Family Photographer

Don't Forget the Little Things... Clarksville TN Child Photographer

Bath-time! I may have my mommy goggles on right now, but that's OK. I think we all need to wear our mommy goggles sometimes. We need to stop and appreciate the little fleeting moments in life that will fly by all too fast. Of course as a photographer I stress the importance of getting professional portraits to preserve memories and to hang as beautiful art on your walls, but in this post, I want to stress the importance of snap shots. Of capturing those everyday moments. The little things we often take for granted.

Before you know it our children will be grown and starting their own lives. I feel it is important to preserve these everyday memories too. So please mommas make sure no matter how much your kids may whine or complain, get out that camera and capture those special little things in life that only you have the chance to catch. They are only little once and the time in life that a child finds joy in a bath, or a piece of candy, or a trip to the store with mommy or daddy will be gone.

 Professional portraits are important yes, but the everyday moments are just as important. Today my little guy woke up with a very very wet diaper and so I put him straight in the bath. The light coming in the window was just so soft and yummy I just had to grab the camera and get some shots. I am glad I did. I can now cherish these images of the joy of bath-time from my son's perspective and when he is older and doesn't have time for me in his teenage world,  I can look back on this moment and smile and remember how he will always be my baby and I can be glad for these little moments in life.
