i kind of love dogs way too much, so when my friend, celia, approached me about shooting nashville humane association’s annual fundraiser, “Unleashed!” i couldn’t resist! check out this dog below. her name is semper fi and this is her best smile….

what a face!!!!

if you are a pet owner, do yourself a favor and check out baxter & bailey — luxury living for the discriminating mutt. great tag line, great pet products and fashion. baxter and bailey are the two beagles pictured here with their owners. such sweet pups!

kelley pickler was the host of the evening and emcee’d the doggie fashion show. the photo on the left here shows kelley with a iraq war veteran and his dog that served along side him.

so many celebrities turned up to support the humane association and to help adoptable dogs strut their stuff on the runway. it was just about the cutest thing i’ve ever seen, everyone had a blast, several dogs got adopted and lots of money was raised through donations, silent and live auctions, and ticket sales. i’ve never been in a room with over 100 dogs before and, i have to say….i kind of loved it!

if you’re thinking about adopting a pet, check out the human association. and, as always, have your pets spayed or neutered!

i’ve gotten a lot of quintel loving over the years — from their wedding, to ella’s baby photos, and now family shots with their newest adorable daughter, frankie. as always, we had a blast together and even got to enjoy some sweet cici’s!

i love these people! thanks, y’all, for letting me shoot you once again. enjoy your preview — can’t wait to show you the rest!

(and thanks for the sweet cici’s!!!)

if this isn’t the most precious face you’ve ever seen then i don’t know what is. this pure adorableness of this first photo could win me awards. those eyes!! lyla is growing so fast. this is our 3rd shoot together and she gets more beautiful every time i see her. i’ll let the photos speak for themselves….

even grandma came out for the shoot (and was unbelievably skilled at getting lyla to laugh and smile…i’m considering hiring her as a full time get-the-kids-to-have-fun expert).

love this sweet family! enjoy your preview — there were so many good ones to choose from, can’t wait to show you the rest.

this month i have the honor of having one of my fall wedding’s featured in this month’s issue of Her — nashville’s women’s magazine.  (link to the online article). i’ve always loved this publication. the design is lovely and the articles are typically very interesting and insightful. i’m absolutely thrilled to have some of my work featured in this great nashville magazine.

the article is on the gorgeous wedding of celia + yancey with interviews with the couple, great wedding tricks and tips, and several of my photos.

check out the link above for the article or, better yet, pick up the magazine while you’re out and about and peep it in real life. and someone save a copy for me!

winter finally decided to make an appearance this year right when i made plans for an engagement shoot with my good friend andy and his beautiful and newly acquired fiance, selah. we thought about braving the cold temperatures anyway and venturing out doors for a quick session but instead opted to make a trip to the ever-lovely opryland hotel. and what a wonderful choice it was! even though it was nearly below freezing outside the sun was shining in on us through that gorgeous glass ceiling and keeping us toasty warm. here are some of the shots we got….

this last shot makes me feel like i’m outside in some warm, exotic location…maybe the florida keys or costa rica. i’m so thankful for a beautiful and versatile place like opryland hotel to go and shoot when winter rears it’s ugly head.

congrats andy and selah!

i’m so thankful for this very mild winter because it allowed me to have a wonderful outdoor family shoot with the rodriguez family this past week. i shot nicole’s bridal photos 4 years ago (crazy!) so it was so good to catch up again and meet her husband, javier, and little girl, clara, for the first time. check out these beautiful people — they should be j. crew models.

sweetest maternity sweater i’ve ever seen.

thankful for the sunlight and for the bearable january days. and thankful for this sweet family for giving me the opportunity to shoot! can’t wait to meet your new baby boy when he arrives :)

january weddings are few and far between so needless to say i was excited to meet ellie and josh when they asked me to shoot theirs. it was definitely a cool and crisp january saturday but everyone’s spirits were high and there was plenty of dancing to keep us all warm :)

loved ellie’s vintage-style dress in a golden-ish hue. take a look…

so, so thrilled to have met y’all and to have shared this day with you and your sweet families and friends! enjoy your photos and hopefully we’ll run into each other soon on the east side.

special thanks to miss ashley matthews for shooting with me :)
