Baby Piper

We were so excited to have the opportunity to photograph baby Piper. Her mother, Jill, is a childhood friend of Leah's. This was our first newborn baby girl, and we were so excited about the pink possibilities.

Isn't she precious?

Fun at Heritage Park

We recently had the pleasure of being contacted by Leah's high school friend Lauren. Her mother wanted portraits done of her five grandchildren since everyone would be in town. We took the group to Heritage Park in East Brainerd. They were a lively group to photograph and really kept us on our toes.

How beautiful are these kids?

Summer Photos with the Saunders Family

We had the opportunity to photograph the Saunders Family at Chester Frost Park this month.

We consider them to be good friends, and we were excited to be able to capture some great images, especially of the beautiful Emma.

She has the sweetest smile and is such an easy going little girl.

You can tell how close Emma and Julie are to one another. This photo says it all.

Happy Father's Day

Today is my third Father's Day. The challenges of parenting have changed a lot as Isaac has grown up, but the rewards just keep getting better. Isaac is an amazing child, and watching him grow as a person is the best thing I could wish for.

Last year, we spent Father's Day at Lucky Peak State Park in Idaho. The weather was warm and the water was cold. We had a great time.

We spent a lot of time playing outside in Idaho. Even when it was hot, it was easy to stay cool. As it gets hotter and more humid here in Tennessee, I miss the Idaho weather more and more.

It's been a big year for us. We moved back to Tennessee from Idaho, which resulting in a great road-trip adventure. We stopped in Grand Teton National Park to play in the lake with the mountains in the background.

Of course, Tennessee has it's share of places to play in the heat, like the fountains at Coolidge Park.

Not all of our time is spent in the water. We've gone on two train rides since we've been back. Isaac loves the trains.

Isaac was also a big part of our wedding day. He was so handsome in his tux.

This year, I got to help Isaac catch his first (and second, and third,...) fish.

It's been a great year, and I can't wait to see what the next one has in store. Best wishes to our friends, relatives and clients. I hope you have a great Father's Day, too!
