Magdelyn Grace | Nashville, TN Newborn Photographer

We had the pleasure of photographing sweet Maggie a few weeks ago.
She was an angel.
She was about the same size as our Josephine when she was born.
It was so sweet playing with her for a lil bit!
She slept the entire session.
It was so precious.
So here she is.






The Sweet Teddy Bear Hat is by Joco6 on Etsy!
I adore her work!



With Sweet Mama, Laura.





And the sweet lil ring shot...

Please help bring Tifi home | Nashville TN Photographer

Hey everyone out there who stops by to read our blog..thank you so much! We have a different kind of post to present today. We have friends who are adopting a little girl from Haiti. The grant money that was supposed to help out with the cost of the adoption has fallen through...so we (Amber & Josh) decided that we wanted to help out our lovely friends the Wilson's. After all, that is what a big part of being a community is all about, we help our friends who are in need and this friends is their current need. What we are doing is donating a portion of every session fee to helping bring Tifi home. We will continue to support the Wilson's until Tifi has made it here to be a part of the Wilson family. Here is a little bit about their story and adopting from Haiti and a picture of the Wilson family.

 I(Mike Wilson) first went to Haiti in 2003 and immediately fell in love.  

I
didn't know what to expect.  I knew it was going to be warm and humid,
but nothing could have prepared me for he things I saw, the people I
would meet, and the way God would use it all to change my LIFE.

I
never knew that a country like Haiti could exist so close to America.
 I thought poverty like that only existed on the other side of the
world; I had no clue the poorest country in the Western hemisphere was
only 700 miles away from Miami!

Missy joined
me in Haiti for the first time in 2007.  I had tried for years to
explain to her how amazing the country was.  When she finally joined
me, she was overwhelmed.  The emotions were beyond words.  Haiti is a
land of contrasts; one minute you can be laughing until your side hurts
and the next you can be crying because a child is dying from lack of
nutrition.

In the airport on our way back to
the states, Missy looked at me and said, "One day, we will adopt a
child from here.  We might not be able to help everyone, but we WILL
help one child have a better LIFE."  Needless to say I wasn't that
enthused or as convinced as she was.  I was happy helping others in
Haiti and doing what we could while we were there.  The thought of
adding to our family never occurred to me.  We already have 3
biological kids...why would we want to add another one?  Little did I
know, that was EXACTLY what we were supposed to do!

In
late 2008, Missy and I realized the time had come to add to our family.
 We knew adoption was right for us and we never even considered another
place...Haiti has become our second home.  We started filling out the
paperwork January 1, 2009 and today are well on the way towards
bringing Tia Simon Wilson home to live with us.  With 3 boys at the
house, it only made sense to bring a TIFI (Haitian Creole for little
girl) into our house.  It has been a long journey, but we know it is
what we're supposed to do.  We couldn't be more comfortable with our
decision to adopt and we know when she gets here, LIFE will change once
again for the better.

Thanks for helping us on our journey to "Bring TIFI Home."

what are YOU saying?

What we are asking of you all is if you can help out in anyway possible that would be great...especially in the next 8 days they have a deadline of roughly half the money...and they are still short. You can help by either booking a date with us and a portion of that money for the session fee will go to help the Wilson's or by all means go straight to their site and click the donate button...any amount would be greatly appreciated! We leave you with a photo of Tifi's feet(their on restrictions until the adoption is done about being able to have photos of her face)..Once she is home we are doing a huge family session for the Wilson's and you will be able to see Tifi's beautiful face as well! You can be assured of that! We greatly appreciate your helping the Wilson's in any way...even if it is just prayers, as they really need it in the midst of all that is encompassed in an adoption!

Baby Charley | Nashville, TN Newborn Photographer

Sweet baby Charley.
9 days new!
I absolutely ADORE newbie sessions...
and this one was SO sweet & fun.
Jill & Kevin are first time parents like Josh & I were
and
it was so amazing spending the morning with them and sharing stories
and
passing on some insightful tidbits to them that we learned
and
it was really fun seeing them so surprised as we lulled Charley to sleep with a
sound machine
and some simple baby calming methods
to get our sleepy shots.
So here is sweet Charley David.

The story behind the wooden cradle...
Kevin (daddy) slept in it as a babe...
I think it's SO great when parents have special things we can incorporate into their session.
It makes it so very special!



The sweet family...

Charley started to wake up toward to end so we did some great wide eyed shots!

Fun Family | Nashville Family Photographer

This family was absolutely awesome.
Especially Max.
He had us laughing so hard as we followed him around as he ventured around our location.
He was such a rad little kid.
By the end of session, he had asked us to come to a party with him... come to his house... and even have a sleep over!
Love it when kids really get into the session with us.
It makes it so much more fun.
And the results are obviously so much better too!








Thanks Again Traci, Les, & crazy Max for the great time!!
