Sarah is due just two days before me so I know exactly how she felt getting up and down and all around for this session!  She was so great though and didn’t complain once – “no whining” might be her mantra as a mother. )  She and Jeremy are so cute and so obviously excited about the upcoming birth of their first son! 

Thanks for letting us document your love and excitement!  Hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

Isn’t she gorgeous?

The proud parents…

For those of you tiring of looking at baby things, please bear with!  This is the last of it!  –You know, until the little man comes along and we force you to look at pictures of our kid all the time! ;o)

This past Saturday was the day for our Franklin baby shower.  Little Man loaded up on the goods and I had a great time visiting with close friends and family.  Thank you so much for the wonderful shower ladies!!  We love you!

p.s. Thank you Bekah for taking pictures for me! )

Shannon’s diaper cake – she made it herself and she was so proud!  You may now ooo and ahhh

I managed to snag these before the camera was taken away from me. )

Sean’s grandmother made this for him before he was born and it has now been passed on to the next generation.

Rose, Sonny, and Andy (the kids I used to nanny for) all made special art for the baby’s room.  Rose painted canvasses for him and Sonny and Andy painted pirate ships.  Between that and the shark bath towel, I think the bathroom is officially pirate themed!  Now we have to get on digging out the “throw it in there room” and transforming it into a home for baby things!  We’ve still got time…right?

Long ago I was the nanny for Valerie and Julian’s family and we’ve remained very close through the years.  It’s hard to believe that the 5 month old baby girl I started with will be 10 in January!  Valerie called and asked if I would do the family Christmas card photo this year so I headed over on Friday evening for a quick shoot.  When I got out of the car, two real live cowboys greeted me, guns a blazing!

These guys make me so excited about having a boy of my own!  

Val is big on themed cards – can you tell? ;o)  Here are a couple of options – which one do you like best?

Dave, Carrie, and their little man just recently made the move from California to the Nashville area for Dave to play with the Tennessee Titans.  We had a great time shooting their family session the other day at Edwin Warner Park!  They have such a relaxed manner to them and their little family is just precious to watch.  Welcome to Nashville guys!  We hope you enjoy this little sneak peek! )

This past Saturday was our last wedding before Little Man gets here and we were so glad to have had Jen and John’s celebration as our annual send off from the wedding world. )  Dara’s Garden was picturesque and obviously, our couple was stunning! Jen and John, your love for each other is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for including us in your amazing day! Can’t wait for you to see everything!!
