It was a busy weekend! I had the honor to photograph the Graves Family. Dad, Russ, has served our country in the Air Force for fifteen years. He is home from Korea on a 4 week leave. Mom has held down the fort here and there, sometimes with her partner, sometimes without. Thank you, Russ for all you and thank you, Milissa for all you do as the wife of a serviceman! They have three beautiful girls. The Graves make my job an easy one! It was a pleasure!

Ariel

I am so glad it is Spring. . .almost!:) This weekend was a beautiful one in Chattanooga. I had the fortunate task of taking Senior Pictures of Ariel. I've known her since she was a wee girl. I can't believe she has grown up so quickly! After high school, she plans on becoming an X-ray tech! Good luck, Ariel. You can see if looks take you places, she going!

The Newly Wed Nicholsons

I had the great pleasure of shooting the Nicholson's wedding on Wednesday evening. I typically don't *do* weddings, but was honored to do so for my friend, Bobby, the groom. I had a ton of fun, but am definitely not a wedding photographer!:) I wish Bobby and Cindy all the best!

The Asbills

The Asbills rock! We had such a great time hanging out at the lake, feeding the ducks, taking a hike, oh and we shot a few pictures. Riley is three. There was some concern because we did this shoot smack in the middle of her nap time! She was *the* best! I decided she would be talking during her nap saying, *CHEESE!* You can see for yourself how stinking adorable she is!;) Thank you, Robby, Heather and Riley for spending the afternoon with me!

Guthrie's Pumpkin Farm

So in every photographer's life, we are sometimes forced. . .okay, I'm never forced to take a picture, to do things other than portraits. My youngest son's class went to Guthrie's Pumpkin Patch in Riceville, TN. Here a few pictures I took while there! We had a great time by the way. If you live in the area, you should check it out!

Soul Gate 7

So, I am a terrible blogger. :)

I had the opportunity to take pictures of a local christian rock band, SG7. They are a great bunch of guys and one girl!;) I had a great time and got a few great pictures. Thanks guys! You can check them out on Facebook.

The Sluder Family

So, as promised, the Sluders allowed me to hang with them again on Saturday. My husband met Greg, the dad, at a music store about 5 years ago. Our families come very close to mirroring the other. We have a 18 year old, 13 year old and 5 year old. The Sluders have a 17 year old, 11 year old, a 5 year old and cute little Spencer was the kid that tipped the scale for the Sluders! They won and we will leave it that way! ;) Anyway, all of that to say, I have known Abby since she was just a tiny infant, not even sitting alone. I had no clue she was so very photogenic! Isn't she the most beautiful thing? We got some great shots of Ariel as well. John Garrett proved to be a more difficult creature. He wanted to go swim! I was intruding in his plans! Anyway, we ended up with a few good pictures of JG! The family lives on 32 acres. We went to one of their favorite spots to take some photos. It is called Potter's Hill. You can see the outline of the Smokey Mountains from up there! It is beautiful!
