Chris & Lindsey's Engagement Session

This was definitely one of my favorite engagement sessions ever.  Lindsey and Chris are so hilarious and such a sweet couple.  You can just tell how much they think of each other in these photos.  I had the hardest time ever just picking this many to put up!  


We went all around Scarritt Bennett and Vanderbilt's campus and finished up at the Starbucks where Lindsey and Chris went a lot when they were getting to know each other.
Their wedding is this December and I'm so excited I get to photograph it!  Lindsey and Chris- you two are awesome and inspiring and I loved spending the afternoon with you!

This little stool is one of Lindsey's favorite things- so we had to incorporate it in the session!

Holmes Family

You probably recognize Bonnie and her son Lucas from a session I did for them in their home, but this time Bonnie's husband Brad was able to join us!  We met up at a park and were able to get some great shots!  I found out that Lucas LOVES grass..  it took us a lot of tricks/distractions/patience to get him to look at me instead of the grass- too funny. vBonnie and Lucas seem like awesome parents.  In the very last shot where Lucas is really smiling, Brad found out that if he tickled Lucas while holding him, that was the outcome :)

 It was great to hang out with you three-  Enjoy!

Boone & Loren Daughdrill

This was such a beautiful fall wedding at Cedarwood here in Nashville.  The scent of hot apple cider lingered in the air during this mid-morning wedding.  Loren was so excited the whole morning and so was Boone!  It was a tad chilly outside but that did not stop Loren and her bridesmaids from coming out for some photos before the ceremony.  Cassie, my 2nd shooter for this wedding, was a great help and you'll see some of her awesome shots below!

So, what's their story?  Boone is drummer for a Christian Rock band called December Radio.  At a show he asked Loren to come on stage because he was giving out a drum stick to someone in the crowd.  She looked at the drumstick and it said "Will you marry me?" and had her wedding ring on the stick.  She said yes :)  A few of Boone's bandmates played a song during the ceremony, it was a nice touch!

Enjoy the photos!

How cute are the green dresses?!









How appropriate is the Groom's cake? Perfect.

And here are the actual sticks!



This was without a doubt the sweetest Mother-Son dance I've EVER seen. Boone LOVES his mother with all his heart. It was such a tender moment!
