For anyone who knows me, you know how much my family means to me.  You know that two of the things I love the most are photography and my own family.  So when I get a chance to spend an evening photographing my own sweet, smart, beautiful, funny, AMAZING little girls – I am ONE HAPPY lady.  And at age 3 and 6, both of my girls are really starting to understand how having beautiful images of them makes my heart sing.  They know that when Mommy does the “happy laugh” that she is overjoyed.  Let’s just say there is PLENTY of happy laughing from these images.  Furthermore, those that are really close to me know that I have spent SIX (yes 6) months planning this shoot.  I knew what I wanted and have searched and looked and shopped until I found exactly what I had in mind to go with these images.  So here is a SMALL snippet of what my girls gave me last night!  If you can’t tell, I had a very specific theme in mind here: Vintage back to school.  Enjoy.

And I love these sweet silly expressions from them too!  They make me laugh!

I have to say that I’m very excited to post this sneak peek. I love this family, I love this little boy, I love the light we had tonight, I love what they all wore to the session, AND I love how connected they truly are to each other.   We originally thought we would spend the session focused on sweet baby L but after mom and I talked, we realized we would make sure we got PLENTY of family shots in too.  I really really wanted to get some sweet shots of this family doing what they do best, loving on each other. I think we scored! Along with some SUPER cute shots of little L, as well! Enjoy.

And one of my favorites from the night!!

Meet Caroline, one of my last seniors for the season!  She’s a gorgeous girl and I think we got some images that really represent HER.  Good luck with your senior year Caroline!  I know you’ll do wonderfully.  Enjoy.

Th Sutherland family is a cute, sweet family filled with gorgeous brunette daughters that were just a joy to work with!   The weather was perfect, Cannonsburgh Village in the fall is just BEAUTIFUL and even though a Saturday there means LOTS of other people, we had a great time finding nooks that would be just perfect for their family.  Their oldest daughter Marissa, is a senior at Lavergne High School this year so we took a few extra of just her to highlight that!    Enjoy.

I was thrilled when Emma’s mom Monica contacted me, all the way from Franklin, for a session for her GORGEOUS daughter Emma.  I love hearing how others find me and decide they must have my work for their children.  Its such a neat thing to hear about who is connected to who and how. Anyways, we had an awesome session this weekend.  It was UNUSUALLY warm evening for the beginning of October.    Shooting in 90 degrees, with some  beautiful fall foliage peaking through made me WISH for the 70s from earlier in the week.  But we “trudged” through and have some really beautiful images to show for our hard work! Enjoy.

Another beautiful senior girl from Siegel High. I’m beginning to think that I might be the luckiest photographer in the area.  Its quite possible that I am getting ALL of the beautiful girls from Rutherford County as MY clients.  Kelly was a ton of fun to work with, the weather and light was just perfect and despite a “busy” day at one of our locations, we were able to really find some beautiful spots for Kelly that, I think, really highlighted this awesome young lady.  Enjoy.

Ah, its here, its finally here! A beautiful night with a light breeze.  No dripping in sweat, no matted hair, no red flushed faces as we combat temperatures around or near 100 degrees! It was lovely and I’m so glad that I got to shoot this family on this night!  We have been trying to have a session since April but with a multitude of things, it just didn’t happen.  So I am happy to present the ADORABLE  Honeybone family.  We squished faces, made silly noises, ate some silly M&Ms and finished the night up as superheroes, I’m not sure it gets any better than that.  Enjoy!

Its that time again; time for family pictures, Christmas cards, and playing in the fall leaves.  After a session last night in some beautiful high 70s degree weather, I’m excited!!  I think we are FINALLY past the horrid 95+ days and will be moving into cool breezes and great weather.  For your photographer, this is pretty close to heaven!

With that, however, means that sessions are booking fast and there aren’t many spots left for those family pictures or Christmas card sessions.  I am completely and fully booked in October.  Unless someone bows out there is not an opening left.  ALL weekends until after Christmas are spoken for.  There will unfortunately NOT be another mini sessions release.   With all the weekends gone, there is just not enough time in a weekday to cram in several mini sessions before it gets dark.  If enough people express solid interest, I might be able to squeeze in mini Christmas STUDIO sessions for a weekday evening in November.

There are a few dates left in November.  Email me ASAP to reserve one.  The fall cut off date for Christmas cards, etc is November 15th.  I can not ensure that you’ll get your cards back in time if we have a session after November 15th.   I will not be taking any new sessions in December except for baby planners and/or newborns.

For those clients (friends!!) who have already had a great family session this year.  If you’d like to use a few images from your session in some AWESOME Whitehill Photography Christmas cards, please let me know!  I have an incredible selection of Christmas cards this year.   I promise they are totally rockin’!

And lastly,  Whitehill Photography is MOVING. Well my family and I are moving and where we go… Whitehill goes. So the new address for Whitehill Photography will be 3010 Lancelot Drive, Murfreesboro TN 37127.   For my current clients, I am going to try really really really hard not to let this move disrupt your schedule with me.  However, I will be out of pocket for 1-2 days while we move my office.  So please be patient with me as I get things running again.  I promise to work day (and night!!) to keep things moving as smoothly as possible.

I’m going to leave you with a few Christmas card samples from this year!

Okay so you might remember that we started Eva’s session about six weeks ago.  We had a great session with lots of fun things planned and then about half way through it, thick heavy rain clouds rolled in and nixed the rest of the session.  So we rescheduled and it rained AGAIN.  So here we are again, finishing up her session with some AWESOME images.  Enjoy.
