{Franklin, TN - Photographer} Peoples Church Dedication

This past Sunday was Mother's Day and The People's Church in Franklin, TN made so many Moms happy when they held a Family Dedication that evening. I was so fortunate to be a part of 30 families dedicating their lives to bringing up their children knowing and loving Jesus Christ. I remember dedicating Jade when she was young and how important it is to have the support of your church and family and friends when committing your life to bringing up your children in the way of the Lord. I love The People's Church and what they do for the children.

{Franklin, TN - Child Photographer} Jade

Jaqueline from Baby2B Nashville made this awesome melon colored tutu that I could not wait to get on my little girl! Jade is very colorful and has a definite style of her own, so we chose to pair the melon up with hot pink, Jade's favorite color. Jade had a special request- she wanted to be photographed with her puppy Dakota. Dakota was very good for us and we got several great photos of the two of them together. We all had tons of fun and Jade modeled so well for the camera.

{Franklin, TN - Wedding Photographer} Nadia

Nadia was married last Thursday in Nashville. I learned so much about the Muslim wedding ceremonies through photographing her celebration to Omer at Durego's in Brentwood. It is so interesting to me. Females do not participate in the actual wedding ceremony, nor do they even attend. Nadia added some of the American tradition to her celebration. She wore a beautiful white bridal gown for photos with her husband and family. Then when guests arrived she wore her Somalian traditional wrap, green adorned with sparkly gold beads. Very ornate, in fact all of the ladies' gowns were so colorful. I will have more photos to show later, but here are a few. Decorations done by Southern Events, flowers by Jimm Wright Designs, Cake by Maples, and Lighting by Nashville Event Lighting CO. Great job everyone!

Baby Portrait - Nashville, TN - 9 months

Madison turned 9 months over Easter weekend so we had to throw in some Easter fun with her photo shoot. She was most interested in eating the flowers and watching passer-bys, but she laughed at me when I was silly, so that made my day. I am sure some of the spectators laughed at my silliness as well! What a happy and sweet girl!

Newborn Photography - Twins!

Penelope and Celia were such great subjects for my photoshoot last week. The girls are twins and when one was happy, the other one was upset. Thank goodness for those pink snuggly things! Why didn't I have one of those when Jade was little! They were like beautiful baby dolls!I really enjoyed photographing these girls and their family. I didn't want to leave, but the girls had enough and wanted Mommy. I cannot blame them. Also, the Grandmother makes these adorable crochet bear hats that I hope to have someday! Cannot wait to do some photographs with those!

Nashville Photographer - Downtown

Anniversary Photos- Last Friday I photographed Stacy and Marty who were celebrating their 11th wedding anniversary. They traveled from Alabama and chose downtown Nashville for their anniversary pictures. We had fun (while also getting our exercise!) strolling through the crowded streets. Here are just a few of my favorites!
