Bethany and Billy

Adam and I had so much fun catching up with a friend from high school ~ Bethany ~ and meeting her awesome dog Billy!





Let's be honest, Adam totally wanted to bring Billy to live at our house but Bethany wasn't quite ready to let him go!

Billy:


Love this moment!


It was so great to see you guys! Thanks for hanging out!

Siblings!

It's so great when we can get all of the siblings from one family together with their new families! We got to hang out with Kathleen, Eleanor, and Benton and all of their families!

Kathleen, Will, and precious little Maggie:


Eleanor and Jon:


Benton and Ashley with Presley and Lola!


All together!



Maggie is the first grandchild and you can tell she has everyone just a little bit smitten!!






She just turned 3 months so it was a great chance for some photos of her!




Thanks for a fun afternoon together! Your families are all wonderful!

Emily & Bauer

Adam and I were both really looking forward to this shoot - Emily is a longtime friend of both of ours, so we were excited to get to hang out for a while and meet her dog Bauer (as in Jack, not Eddie) for the first time! Bauer is a Puggle - Pug/Beagle mix and what a beautiful dog!
It was a little bit cold, but we still had a fun day playing with Bauer and running around in the park.
Thanks for a fun afternoon!

The Self Family

Our first shoot of our Nashville trip was Matt, Jennifer, and Mary Carter. I've been trying to connect with them for a while, so I was so glad to be able to fit them in! We met up at their house and got some precious shots of MC and all three of them together both in and around their home. I love this shot of MC loving on her Pooh. What is it about Pooh and Elmo that entrances all kids? They must have magical powers!


MC and Jennifer hanging out in the nursery:


MC is super lucky to have a mom who plays the piano and is teaching her from an early age. I think piano lessons are one of those things that were torture at the time, but looking back, we all wish we had stuck it out. I specifically remember being so mad in jr.high that I missed out on going to O'Charley's with the jr.high boys basketball team to go to a dumb piano lesson. Hindsight is 20/20!




Lastly, I totally love this casual family portrait with the dog!

It was so great to meet all four of these guys and get to hang out for a while! Thanks for having me over!
