The Bowler family {Sesser, IL & Evansville, IN Photographer}

I am constantly amazed by my clients. This session was no exception! The Bowler family came to see me from the Evansville, IN area, and made the drive all the way over here, and their beautiful little girl was still in a great mood to have her pictures taken! I cannot imagine my children doing that well! :)
Lila was in a happy mood and has such a cute little personality. It took her a little while to warm up, but once she did, it was nothing but smiles! This session was also one day before Lila's first birthday...Happy Birthday Lila! :)





















Thanks to David, Julie, & Lila for coming all this way to spend an hour with me. Lila is just beautiful, and I am thankful to have met you! :)

The Riggs kids

I had so much fun taking these little cutie's pictures! Their mom stopped by on the way from her parents home in northern IL to her home in Tennessee for this session. I was worried that the 4 hours they had just spent in the car would affect the way they acted for their session...but they did SO great! I am so pleased, and hopefully mommy will be too! Interesting sidenote: these kiddo's parents wedding was one of the first ones that I ever shot...9 or 10 years ago in Nashville, TN!

Here are Samuel, Emma, and Chloe:



















Another round of close-ups...I can't help it, they are too cute! :)

Blog Contest WINNER!

Back in May when my blog hit 40,000 hits I announced a blog contest for a free session giveaway. I let it go on because every now and then I was still getting emails from people wanting to enter the contest. Well I decided to end it, and I drew from the names of those who have entered, because there was NO WAY I could choose someone from the entries myself.
The winner is

KIRA LOPEZ!

Kira, contact me and we will set a date for your free session!

Thank you to all of you who entered the contest!

Banx's Newborn Session

Oh my, what can I say. This baby has the GREATEST hair, and I just think hair on tiny babies is SO adorable. My kids barely had any hair when they were born, that's probably why I think it's so amazing. I also tried something new with this session, it was entirely done with natural light, and the first time I got to use one of my "new" chairs! This is more pictures than I usually post for a session but really could not narrow it down. This is probably only half of what I wanted to show! :)







Here he is with his pretty mommy...






















Banx's Daddy is a golfer, and so Banx is holding his Dad's special hole-in-one ball...


Dana, thank you for letting me have fun with Banx! He was the perfect subject! :)
