We first met Kay and Bobby at their maternity shoot back at the beginning of June. (Click here to revisit!) They were so laid-back and loving together, and everyone was on pins and needles waiting for little boy Bo to get here! When Kay called us to tell us he had FINALLY arrived, we were so excited! Mom and dad brough this little chunk-a-munk down to the studio a couple of weeks ago and we instantly LOVED how plump he was! He had tons of blonde hair and rolls galore! So CUTE (and perfect for newbie photos)! We had just gotten our new “special baby bean-bag” in and couldn’t wait to for Bo to be our first little model to try it out. He was so perfect and sleepy, just like we like ‘em! He snoozed away while Jennifer and I worked our baby magic. And we even had the chance to use an adorable teddy-bear hat Kay brought along – love it! Kay and Bobby, congratulations on your new bundle of joy! Thank you so much for letting us document this stage in his life and we can’t wait to see how much he grows in the next 6 months! Enjoy your sneak peek, and happy Friday…

When Aimee first contacted us about photographing her precious Pyper in March, she told us about the house they had just bought on a farm in Rural Retreat, VA. Christy and I are always up for new locations (and for travelling!), so we thought it would be the ideal place for the session! Since Pyper was only three months at the time, we waited a few more months so she could reach the “perfectly round, happy and sitting up” stage…6-7 months is SUCH a cute shoot-age! : ) Aimee also told us about the awesome barn doors that dad, Shannon, made for miss Pyper’s “farm themed” room, so of course we had to start there! They were awesome! (Can I get some in my house?!) Aimee is a huge horse lover, so we rounded them up and did our best to include them in a few shots…they were a lil camera shy, but Pyper thinks they’re too funny and that’s all the counts! Christy saw a beautiful barn in the back and we couldn’t wait to take the family out there, too. (Shannon even said that when they first looked at the house Aimee cried when she saw the barn, so they bought it! Ha!) Shannon and Aimee, you have a gorgeous home and an equally gorgeous little girl. We love your sweet, emotional images and hope you enjoy this little peek! (p.s. – Christy and I already know where your next session will be…the old train station! YAY!) See you soon!

Ahhhh it’s so bittersweet to see our Sweet Pea babies hit that one year mark! We first photographed the lovely Kendrick family over a year ago, when Preston was just a little guy (take a look) and then again last fall when he reached the sitting-up stage (awwww so cute!). This time, Jennifer and I met up with the gang in downtown Jonesborough, actually near where Maggie and Shannon were married. What a great place to celebrate Preston’s 1-year session! He looked like such a big boy when Maggie got him out of the car, with all those blonde locks and the cutest big-boy shoes! They even brought his favorite baby “man chair” along for a few shots – how fun is that?! Preston had just started walking, so it was totally adorable to watch him teeter-totter around the grounds! We got lots of good grins from this little guy (can you say ladies man?!) showing off those new teeth, and the images are so bright and colorful – love it! Maggie and Shannon thank you so much for allowing us Picsee chicks to document your sweet baby boy’s first year. We hope you enjoy your sneak peek and can’t wait for you to see your whole collection! Happy Monday!

Christy and I have been excited about meeting sweet Sarah Jane ever since her mom Ruth came to our open house last fall and booked her session! We thought about it over the winter, and since Sarah Jane loves being outside so much, we thought a summer shoot on the farm would be absolutely perfect! Ruth and dad Michael brought all kinds of goodies to keep Sarah Jane busy…the sidewalk chalk and handheld kite twirly things (forgot the name, but see the pic below – SO fun!) were especially big hits! This little girl is so full of fun energy and happiness – her love for mommy and daddy just shines so bright, and we had a blast running around and capturing all the smiles and sillyness! Michael & Ruth, we really enjoyed our time with you and your sweet girl. Love your images and can’t wait for you to see the your awesome collection! Enjoy and have a happy weeekend!

Lainie has grown so much since I saw her last! She still has a full head of hair and is so adorable! Even at this age you can tell she finds pure joy in everything! She just makes everyone else around her smile too.
Here's Ms. Lainie.



Look at all that hair!!!


So cute.


I love the little piece of grass in with her feet.

Hilarious!

We all thought she might take a little nap here.

Snuggling in with Mommy and Daddy.

Abigail and Wade, we love your new bundle of sweetness, Miss Piper! When Abigail called to tell us this little princess had arrived, she also told us how wide awake and alert she was! Rut-roh! We were a bit concerned because, as always, we love nice sleepy babies for our newbie shoots… But when Piper arrived with mommy and daddy she was ready to snack..and sleep…snack…and sleep! It was perfect! We achieved the perfect snack/sleep ratio for adorable pictures! Abigail had found an awesome pink baby hammock for Piper and we were really excited to use it – one of our fave shots of the day! I love her! And not ONLY were we able to photograph a sleeping baby, but we even took an outtake shot of mom and dad taking a wee siesta! (Parents, this is proof positive that it’s okay to sleep while we work our baby magic!) Abigail and Wade, your Piper darlin’ is beautiful and we love your images so much!! We can’t wait to watch this babe grow! Enjoy your peek…









And for the sleep-deprived parents…don’t worry, you’ll be able to catch a 2-3 hour nap at the studio! ; )

Christy and I were super excited about shooting the Frohlich family a few weeks ago! We photographed eldest daughter Blaine’s senior session a couple months ago (remember the amazingness?!) and had a blast, so we were pumped to meet her younger siblings Makenzee, Sophie and Jake! Mom Karen loved the “downtown” urban-inspired shots we did for Blaine’s session, so we put a family spin on it for her! Makenzee worked the camera just like her big sis and Sophie had no problem showing us her sass and her girlyness! I loved it! Poor Jake is outnumbered by his three sisters, but that didn’t stop him from showing us Mr. Cool and enjoying the limelight all the same! Karen and Ken, you have wonderful children and a beautiful family…we loved documenting your style and personalities! You rock! Hope you all enjoy your sneak peek! (And p.s. - Thanks, Karen, for having the courage to travel on the “closed” road! It was totally worth it! And -shhhhh- it’s our little secret!) ; )

This is the third time we’ve had the pleasure of photographing the sweet Pulitzer family (first was the whole fam at home, next was baby bro Vaughn’s newbie session) and the third time was definitely the charm! : ) Jenn and I met up with Cindy, Sam and the three boys at home yet again to document the whole family of five! Bryce and Avery had gotten SOOO big since the last time we’d seen them, and Vaughn is no longer a baby!! (They grow so fast…time flies!) Cindy had told us that all the boys love being read to, so how perfect to have family story-time with an awesome interactive Goldilocks and the Three Bears book! The whole fam cuddled up together and it was so awesome to capture something they do all the time – what a wonderful memory for the boys to have as they grow older! We ran around the yard, pulled the wagon, played by the stream…it was a great evening, and we did it all before the storms rolled in! Pulitzers, we love your laid-back family and always have so much fun with the boys! Hope you love your sneak peek and we can’t wait for you to chill at the studio for your collection premier!
