The Alex Family | One Step Closer

I have loved watching this family grow over the years. I’m so thankful that of all the jobs in the world Brett and Brian ended up at the same company, in the same department and only a cubical apart:) And thanks to that “coincidence” I not only get to call the Alex’s friends, but family. The last time I photographed this family was about 2 years ago, so it was definitely time for some photo updates! We headed into Downtown Franklin and ventured around the square on a lovely Tuesday afternoon. We laughed, we cried, we cried from laughing and I honked;)I love this family and time spent with them is always full of fun. As excited, as I am that they are getting closer and closer to their goal of Italy, I am also a wee bit sentimental at the thoughts of having to say goodbye to these guys. It’s a bittersweet send off, as I know they will be serving the Lord in Italy, but selfishly I wish they could stay along side us here in Nashville. Italy is definitely gaining a beautiful family. If you would like to learn more about the Alex’s and their mission to share the Gospel in Italy you can read their latest newsletter HERE or visit their blog HERE! Hope you enjoy these fun photos of this wonderful family!!!

Taylor’s Portrait Session | Radiance

Meeting young, confident, beaming women makes my heart do a dance. I can tell you that the afternoon I spent with Taylor my heart was doing backflips! I enjoy documenting milestones in peoples lives and this milestone in Taylor’s life marks the year she turned 16:)So many exciting things happen the year you turn 16, I feel like it’s a defining year in young girls lives and definitely worth celebrating through images. After Taylor had her make-up done by the fabulous Andrea Moore with Winks&Kisses she met up with me downtown for a whirlwind photo shoot! We ventured all over downtown Nashville from the Pedestrian Bridge to Broadway, making wardrobe changes along the way. She started out sporting her Alabama gear  and went super cute and glam with everything from a sparkly top to coral high heels. Taylor, I’m so excited to see what lies ahead in your future, from what I have witnessed I think it’s going to be very bright:)Hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them!

Love is in Bloom | Cliff & Paige’s Engagement Session

I’m honored to share another lovely couples engagement session today:)I have known Cliff for several years now through Brett  and I must say that Paige absolutely completes him. I met up with Paige & Cliff over ice cream at none other than the delicious Jenis:)where I heard about how they met, how Cliff proposed and what their plans for the future look like. As I sat and listend I realized how genuine these two are with each other, there are no games, it’s just real and I love to see that in couples. We spent their session afternoon around Centennial Park in a few special locations and then made our way over to Satco, a favorite Nashville spot of theirs. A little rain decided to follow us around but shortly turned into sunshine & a beautiful afternoon. I’m looking so forward to September when I capture a new chapter in their lives as they become husband and wife:)Paige & Cliff, thank you so much for allowing me to document such an important time in your lives, hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them!

A Beautiful Balance | Emily & Britt’s Engagement Session

I am so thankful to a dear colleague and friend of mine for introducing me to Emily and coincidentally allowing me the opportunity to capture she and Britt’s story.  I sat down with these two at Fido over coffee and listened to stories about how they met, wedding plans, future plans and how they have pushed each other to the place where they are now. With every word they thoughtfully looked back at the other one, smiling as they reminisced about the past and looked forward to the future. There is a beautiful balance between the two of them, they are the other ones biggest cheerleader while simultaneously coaching each other through life, not allowing each other to give up or move backwards. These two made for a vibrant afternoon around Germantown and East Nashville. Emily’s beautiful confidence and Britt’s effervescent personality created an ease in front of the camera, they aren’t apologetic of their affection for each other and I could hardly keep from snapping my shutter every second. The adoring gaze you see on Britt’s face or the smile of complete assurance as Emily leans into him was not merely a pose for the camera, but a consistent demeanor throughout our afternoon together. These two make me smile and I am looking so forward to August when I can capture the beginning of a whole new chapter for them. Enjoy!
