Thought I would post a few pictures before heading to “Messy Monday” at the Cookeville Children’s Museum”. More on that later! Mary is going to be graduating from high school this July and I thought I would give you a sneak peak. The rest will be ready soon Mary!

JASON,SHEILA AND THE KIDS

I loved this session! Meet C.C., Bailey, Max and Zeus. When I arrived, I was greeted by some VERY large and VERY friendly puppies. We did some shots in the house then went out back where these crazy pups worked themselves into a frenzy! Jason eventually channeled Caesar Milan, became the pack leader, and all was good.

He was winking at me!!!!! What a flirt.

The kitty was not amused.

As you have probably already guessed, Sheila is very involved with the Friends of the Shelter.  Big heart=lots o’ animals! 

Spending a bit of time in Jason’s recording studio.

Doggie bliss!

BOBBY AND MARTHA

These two are going to be sooooo much fun to work with!! I can’t wait! I met them in Smithville and followed them to Rock Island State Park where Bobby had proposed to her. Here are a few funny favorites from their session…

You will probably find this picture strange, but I find it hilarious. A little old fashioned trick of the eye perspective shot. Reminds me of a little leprechaun on her hand.

Bobby was standing back there on one of the big boulders.

Here are a few test shots from the day before-note the polka dot backdrop was retired after the first night. Dads don’t dig pink polka dots, but girls do!

me and Josie

Jen and Cara (the head women in charge)

THURSDAY NIGHT

BTW The numbers are their mugshot before the actual pictures are taken.

FRIDAY NIGHT

I have to throw my family in the mix!

Other way Brad.

Jonathan Casey where are you?!

These girls were waiting on pins and needles for prize certificates to be called out.

Miley Cyrus is still ringing in my brain today. Someone please make her stop.

From the looks on their faces you would think Metallica was playing right in front of them! Nope, the Jobros.

SATURDAY NIGHT

Much love for the folks below! Becca’s wedding will be coming up soon on the blog!

Cara Sheets and Jen Webb you guys rock!!!

I am going to start posting more weddings so check back in a couple of days!

SARAH LYNN WINNINGHAM

AND 

JOSEPH LEE KEITH

SATURDAY, THE TWENTY-SIXTH OF SEPTEMBER

TWO THOUSAND AND NINE

HALF PAST FIVE IN THE AFTERNOON

FOUNTAIN CITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

KNOXVILLE,TENNESSEE

I love the Winningham family! They go way back for me. I first met them when I did Sarah’s sister Allison’s wedding in i believe, 2003 or 2004. I have been blessed to get to know all of them through my business. They are a great family! Sarah was great to work with (as was Joey). Joey is in the military (obviously) and Sarah is an attorney in Knoxville. Though it was a RAINY day,the ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a blast! They chose The Foundry for the reception. Good choice!

The first look at his bride.

Sweet little Dylan,Sarah’s nephew.

Two of Sarah’s 4 sisters.

After the ceremony there was an old Rolls Royce ready to pick them up. Wiiiiith  a cocktail first.

On to the reception!

This time the fuzz didn’t show up to be a party pooper-he was actually a friend. 

Dylan,Drew and mommy.

The sky looked so wicked that night. The lights from Neyland stadium were giving this effect to the clouds.

Thank you Winningham and Keith families for letting me be part of your day!!!

I was just working on these pictures I took a couple of days ago. I wanted a retro feel for these. Wow it was cold Monday but it didn’t phase this family to much. They were in from Vienna,Austria so this was just a cool day for them. Kristy this is just a sneek peek-I will let you know when the rest are done!

I finally got back to work today. I had finished my shoot and was sitting down to read my Time magazine when I heard this little voice say, “Mommy! How does me look?!”  

All I need is a good crack-up for forgiveness. Let’s see if this still works when she is 13.

We had a great time shooting this wedding! I always love to be able to see lots of people I know, and let me tell you this was the one for that! It was held at the bride’s home on a very sunny Saturday. This is what I was greeted with the minute I walked in the door.

A VERY large, VERY concerned looking dog. AKA Tahoe.

Her sweet dad, Bobby.

The brides brother and sister-in-law, who are now the proud parents of a baby girl.

He went from concerned to depressed. I think he was feeling a bit left out.

This cake was scrumptious!

Groom and mom.

She looked stunning.

You might have seen a few of these in the January issue of TULLE magazine.

The brothers of SAE serenading the bride.

They snuck away for a while to grab a bite to eat in the kitchen.

Zee band.

The grooms mom, having a great time!

What a party! It was such a party that a couple of Cookeville’s finest had to help it wind down at about 11:30. 

PARTY POOPER!!!!

I love her reflection in the window.

Well I felt truly honored to be chosen to be their photographer for the big day. They were a great couple to work with and I love both of their families!
