Getting albums in the mail is like Christmas – I’m so happy with my recent orders from Vision Art! Below are a few spreads from Molly & Brandon’s Granville wedding at the lovely Skipping Rock Farms last October. The leather cover is French Cafe; 10×10 square fine art album. 
Dear little Piper all dressed up in polka dots. Could this family be more adorable? We ventured to Innis Woods for some family portraits and to document sweet piper’s 6th month. I can’t begin to tell you how much her mommy and daddy adore her, or how hard they worked to get these smiles to come out. Happy 6 months, Piper!
little theo turned one this weekend and I can’t believe it. it’s been a wonderful, joy-filled year that Ben and I have been so blessed to be a part of and can’t wait for more ahead.

Ben’s spring break happened to coincide perfectly with the end of my first trimester sleepiness and aversion to all things scented… So we booked a last hoorah (aisle seats, of course, for easy airplane bathroom access), to visit his parents in St. John. Three bottles of SPF 50, endless snorkeling, some good books and lots of [virgin] pain killers enjoyed all the while beside my honey made for one happy pregnant woman. One more wonderful adventure added to our list – so many more ahead.
Baby’s first beach trip was documented with fujifilm’s underwater camera and my old canon 35mm : fuji and kodak films.
Spring has sprung, the days are longer, the grass is greener and that means it’s time for another round of Mini-Sessions!

Session Times:
4:00pm, 4:45pm, 5:30pm, 6:15pm, 7:00pm
I woke up last night with an ache in my lower back and grumblings in my tummy. The clock said 3:30; I glanced toward Ben over the body pillow that now separates us in bed, he was fast asleep. The usual stretching, repositioning, rolling over that used to cure my mid-night ailments are harder to accomplish now with a basketball-sized protrusion coming from my midsection. I gave in, got up, poured myself a bowl of cereal and settled into a chair with my newest book : Operating Instructions by Anne Lamott. Her opening line speaks of being wide awake at 4am, she is 6 months pregnant and can’t get comfortable. I welcomed the empathy and baby and I enjoyed our cereal.
There are moments that I find myself rubbing my growing belly like this is the way it has always been; other times I walk by a reflective surface and almost surprise myself “How did that happen?!” Our excitement is growing along with little Baby Glass – its squirms and pokes and movements make me giggle and I am grateful for this time of bonding even before baby’s arrival. Our future is unfolding perhaps a little faster than we anticipated, but we’re loving every adventurous minute of it.
Heather & Daniel’s love runs so deep. Their excitement leading up to and on their wedding day was contagious and their adoration for one another so evident. Heather is dancer and thus so graceful and lovely – Daniel so obviously enamored with his bride – the two were just stunning to photograph. They opted for a first look before the ceremony, giving Daniel plenty of extra time to take in his gorgeous bride, and me lots of good juicy photos. Their reception was held at the beautiful Heritage House in Chattanooga, filled with family and friends and good dancing. Thank you for inviting me to celebrate with you, Mr. & Mrs. K!
This kid is too much, I don’t even know where to start – with the crazy cute striped-onesies, his big blue eyes, his super-squeezable self or those ridiculously hilarious facial expressions? Mike & Katy – the super proud parents of one super adorable baby Elliott – were so generous in letting me take over their beautiful home and peak into their everyday lives with their new little bundle. I feel so blessed to have an inside look at the overwhelming love and wonder that new parents feel; thank you for sharing that with me. xo
