Aidan's Bday Party

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Aidan's 2nd Birthday Party.  It was at an awesome bookstore in East Nashville:  Fairytales.  If you live in the Nashville area and haven't checked out this kid's bookstore, you really need to do it!!

Aidan was adorable and all the kids had fun - painting, playing, eating cake!!  It was everything that a 2nd Bday party should be!

Diggs'

I met Josh, Lindsey and Steven the first time when we met for our family portrait session.  They were so fun, nice and genuine!!  Josh works at a church here in the Nashville area - as we got talking, we realized we know some of the same people.  It's always fun to realize what a small world it is!

Steven has GOT to be one of the cutest 6-month-olds I've seen in a LONG time!!  He had amazing red hair, gorgeous blue eyes, and the most charming little smile!!  Josh and Lindsey-you've got yourself a heart-breaker there!!  ;-)

I'm already looking forward to the next time!!

Dallas, Jenii, & Carter - not to mention the rest of the fam!!

Since Paul and I moved to Tennessee, we have been blessed with some amazing neighbors!!  Dallas & Jenii live a few doors up from us with their adorable son, Carter.  I love having them for neighbors - not to mention the friends they have become.  They are fun, hilarious, kind, thoughtful - just GOOD people!!

For the last 2 years, I've been saying we need to do a family portrait session - well, we finally got around to it! ;-)  Jenii's whole family came, and we had a blast at Percy Warner Park.  I can't wait until next time!!

The Wood's

I love best friends!!  To me, they are the kind of friends that it doesn't matter how far apart you live or the amount of time in between seeing each other - whenever you get together, it's as if you were never apart.  I have several friends that I put in this category - and they are all from different epochs of my life.

Heather is my best friend from highschool.  We went through the big hair faze together, watched Dirty Dancing and Goonies for the first time together, and went to Homecomings and Proms together.

She still lives in our hometown and has married an amazing man, Steve Wood, and has four extraordinary children - Hannah, Halee, Hayden, and Hattie.  I love her, and I love the woman, wife and mother she has become!!!!

I also love that every year or so we get to do a family portrait session!!!!  ;-)

The Rose's

It's amazing how much a baby grows in 2 years!!  I first took pics of baby Ryan in 2009 - you can see his first blog post here.

Ryan has grown up to me just an adorable little boy.  He was so much fun - we were on some land just outside of Keokuk and he had a blast running around, throwing sticks, finding nuts - all things that little boys love to do.  :-)  He's also one of the cutest little Hawkeyes fans I've ever seen!!

It was also awesome seeing Heather and Josh again.  They are great with Ryan and I already can't wait until next time!
