Fun Times

We had a fun-filled afternoon with the Lown Family, including their dog, Ella. She was a hit in the photos! She loved looking at the camera for us and she was super well-behaved. It was a gorgeous afternoon. The kids were great sports. We asked a lot of them to stand and smile for us while all the other kinds were swinging, sliding and playing in the sand box. :) They were troopers. In the end, we got some great shots of the family together, the kids together, and Ella. What a blast. Then they loaded up the van and headed to everyone's favorite for dinner: Chick Fil A!

Baby Annie in Full Bloom

Chad and Carrie are expecting their first baby - it's a girl! We were invited to capture her blooming belly this past weekend. Since it looked like it was going to rain, we went inside to Cherokee Mills, a beautifully renovated professional complex with glistening stairways and natural lighting. It was great watching the two new parents beam and glow as we shot away. They will make wonderful partners in this adventure they're about to embark on! And Baby Annie will be so blessed.

This is just a preview of what is to come.

Check back soon for more images of this blooming family.

Sweet Baby James

This weekend, we had the opportunity to capture some images of Leah and her 4 month old baby, James. Leah hardly ever gets to be in photos with James because she's always behind the camera. So this was really sweet. Her husband, John, is serving a tour of duty with the Marine Corps in Iraq. We were honored to be asked to capture some moments of her and James so she can send them on to her husband.

We were accompanied by yet another gorgeous fall afternoon. Leah dressed James up in his Christmas reigndeer outfit. (She wanted to get some pictures of him in it because he is going to out grow it before Christmas!) James was a good sport and let us stick cameras in his face for nearly an hour! He gurgled and blew spit bubbles all over his precious outfit. It was a constant marathon of running to wipe his mouth while he laughed at us and still trying to capture the smile. He was such a trooper! We were able to get some sweet images that the Swaggerty Family will be able to treasure for a lifetime! Thanks to Leah and James for a fun photo session and thanks to John for serving our country! We are praying for you and for your safe return.

We will have more images of this shoot soon! So check out our website http://www.allthingsnewphoto.com/ for more images to come.

Farmer Family Frenzy!

Ben, Jenny and 15-month old Abby met us at World's Fair Park today for their family portraits. It was a beautiful sunny day with near perfect weather. I love Tennessee fall days! Abby brought along her elephant, baby and sippy cup. It was long, though, before she was hungry. So we stopped at a vending machine and got her a snack - Cheetos!! A child's favorite treat...and a photographer's challenge. :) We laughed as she fed Cheetos to her baby and wiped her orange fingers on mommy and daddy's clean outfit. She was such a trooper as we trotted her around the park, along the railroad tracks, and the swingset. What a blessing she is! You can tell by watching her parents faces as she plays that she is the light of their lives. We enjoyed having the chance to capture some of these moments. Thanks to the Farmer family for the fun time!

Fabulous Fall Shoot!

Today we had some beautiful East Tennessee fall weather for a photo shoot of the Green Family. They were extremely fun to work with and we had a blast trying to keep up with their son Joshua! We also take our hat off to J.J. who was a trooper hiking around in the park for an hour and a half carrying Joshua while she is only two weeks away from her due date with their second son, Henry Wade.

We loved the location that the Green's chose. It was our first time to do a shoot at Campbell Station Park, and I'm sure we will probably make our way back there again sometime. The park had a great mix of outdoor settings with streams, bridges, beautiful trees, lots of open space and plenty of walking trails.

We definitely got some great images for the Green family to remember their Fall of 2009. As we get more images edited we will be posting some of them on our facebook page and our website, so definitely check them out! Thanks again to Ben, J.J. and Joshua (and soon to be Henry Wade) for allowing us to capture some of their family moments!
