Sweet Fam | Nashville, TN Family Photographer

What a sweet lil family...

Chad, Lindsay, & Jake.

Precious.

We had a great afternoon capturing some precious moments for them together.

Ventured to a new location, which turned out to be a great hit!

Lindsay & I were friends in highschool

She was on the dance team.

I was one of the captains of our Cheerleading squad.

So we really interacted a lot and were in the same group of friends.

So it was really great to reconnect with her after several years.

Jake was a fun lil guy!

Josh took him over to the playground after some of the family shot to play w/him and snap some more of him while I got to play w/Chad & Lindsay.

It was so fun seeing the fire between these two & their love for Jake!

So here you go!

Thanks Chad & Lindsay for such a great family session!

Luann | Nashville, TN Childrens Photographer

Sweet Luann.

I love her name so much!

We used to be in Sunday School class with her parents, Derrick & Lisa before Luann 

was born.

In fact, last time we saw them, Lisa was about 6 months pregnant. 

We were so excited when we received a new client inquiry from our website from them!

We hadn't seen them in a while.

Lisa has a company that sells the EZ Bun.

They travel all over the US to shows, fairs, & just happened to be home for a few days so they contacted US 

to see if we could do a last minute session for lil Luann. 

We made it happen!

Luann is just a beautiful blue eyed 20 month old. 

She was shy at first, but Josh got her giggling and she opened right up!

We just pulled her favorite slide out in a nice shaded area in the backyard and played for a little bit. 

She was just precious!

We will have another session later this fall for them too once they come home again!

She was such a doll. 

Can't wait to see you guys again!

So we have been pretty stoked about this post for today!

This is Ben & Jessica Polston.

They contacted US as they were approaching their Two Year Wedding Anniversary.

They had a spectacular photographer, however, b/c they chose to have their photos together AFTER the wedding, they really didn't have enough time to get what they wanted.

So, they asked US to do it & we were so happy that we could!

When we started discussing the session, they sent us a video they did telling their story when they got engaged. 

Take a few minutes and hear their story.

So Happy Anniversary Ben & Jess!

These 2 shots were taking using the TTV Technique. We have an old Kodak Duaflex that we shot this with.

We'll do a post on this technique soon!

Thank you Ben & Jess for choosing US to share just a little bit of your love story.

Tuesday...| Nashville,TN Photographer

So we thought on Tuesdays we would start sharing...sharing thoughts, ideas, inspirations..etc...
So today we are going to do a little post on things that inspire us and the atmosphere we like to go to for photo-shoots and even for ourselves in our everyday life.

These are just a couple blogs that inspire us. Most of them inspire us based on the type of things the people are creating..the way they decorate their homes or their lofts...all of these things help to shape the way we approach photography and a photo-shoot & just everday life.

The first inspiration is our friend Elsie:

Until last spring we only knew Elsie through the online world of blog-visiting and through flickr...she not only is a rad painter, crafter, awesome scrapbooker, but is a rad photog and who we look to for inspiration in how she captures everyday life & those around her! When we met her in person last spring she inspired us even more with how she lives out her passions everday and has pushed the limits to make that work also as a way of living for herself & others too! Here style is eccletic, vintage, & whimsical...stroll around her blog to check out all that is crafty and her awesome design savy of her loft decor at a beautiful mess. Also check out her store RVA.

The next inspiration is Rachel Denbow.

Rachel is another that we have been blog visiting as well for sometime and hope to possibly meet in person in the next year or so when we go for another visit to see Elsie...just so happens they are great friends and Rachel now lives close to Elsie...so it should be a 2 for 1 bonus next trip! Rachel has an incredible vintage home design style that has had our mouths on the floor and constantly trying to find unique items at thriftshops & antinque stores..for any good finds that we might salavage and multi-purpose has she has. She also just happened to make our lil baby girl's baby quilt...so for that she will forever have a unique place in our life. Check her out on smile & wave. If you get the desire to buy some vintage things after drooling at her site then check out her etsy shop: Pony Party.

Up next: Freckled Nest

We had a chance to work with this lovely lady: Leigh-Ann
when she contacted us about a blog/site that she helped design and that featured an ad of us on the above mentioned Rachel Denbow's site.
Well Freckled Nest is an all around great resource when looking for unique design ideas or if you just can't seem to get that design out that's in your head contact Leigh-Ann as stated she designed the above mentioned site and has done others as well as designed wedding albums etc...you can also check out her work on flickr.

Lastly: Something's Hiding in Here

We just recently found out about this blog through Elsie. Well the biggest thing we have been drooling over and dreaming about from their site is home decor...yeah I guess these all have a home decor theme..except Freckled Nest we haven't yet peaked into her home..but if her blog speaks anything of her home style then I'm sure it'd have us drooling as well. But back to Something's Hiding in Here. They were recently featured on Apartment Therapy.com so check out the house tour. Not only do they have great home decor style...but they also are all around crafty people...Urban Outiftters had them do a DIY video on block printing..so check that out!

So these are just a few blogs that we visit alot..to get ideas & inspiration from when it comes to photo-shoots and even when we are stuck on how to implement certain home decor aspects into our home. Our home is still a work in progress....but maybe one day we'll share some photos of our house...

So now let us hear from you...what are some sites that you go to for inspiration....any sites that you might feel fit the nitch of sites that we go to...feel free to drop the links on us!
Have a great day! Hope you find some people to blog follow that you might not have known about!
