the sweet carter family......

i had sooo much fun during the shoot for the carter's! they had some beautiful flowers in bloom around their gorgeous home, so we just shot in their yard! these pics had GREAT color, but i think i liked them better in black and white.....as i know black and white is what fills the walls of the carter home.

jasie and my youngest daughter are almost the same age....she is adorable....smart....funny...GORGEOUS....and on the run CONSTANTLY!! =) she could melt anyones heart!!

3 month old grant.....

adorable little grant!!! every time i look at these pics, i smile!!! he is absolutely precious!!!

he was an excellent little guy during the shoot!! sooo sweet and well mannered.....he just looked around everywhere so alert during the whole shoot...

heather...thank you so much grant's session!! i look forward to watching him grow in upcoming shoots!

Miss Northeast Tennessee USA......

a couple weeks back i received a call from a young lady in the tri-cities...to both of our excitement, she had recently been named Miss Northeast Tennessee USA !!

deanna and i are friends thru facebook...and that's how she heard of my services.

it was sooo very nice to get to know her and know that she is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out!

she will compete the first weekend in Oct. for the title of Miss Tn. USA!

amazing ashley.....

a senior at a local high school, ashley is such an AWESOME girl!! -- i has sooo much fun FINALLY shooting ashley's senior pics!! -- i say finally because it took three sessions to get it completely finished. we had a spat of rain for awhile and every time we went to do pics, it would rain. i told ashley it happened for a reason because her final shoot would be amazing...like her...and it was!! as you will see in the pics, she is also a cheerleader!! ashley is such an AWESOME, well rounded girl.....i wish her the best of times in her senior year!!!

i have known ashley since she was in middle school, as her sweet mother brought her to me when i was a makeup artist to show her the ways in the makeup world.... =)

it was soooo sweet to get to know her again and see what a fabulous young lady she has become!

i hope you enjoy your pics as much as i have.... =)

thank you so much for the shoot!! i hope you enjoy your portraits as much as i have ! =)
