Smash Cake | Memphis, TN Child Photograper

I have had many "firsts" with Mr. Aiden.  His mom's maternity session when she was pregnant with him was my first photo shoot ever.  When he was born I did my first newborn shoot.  Now he's turning one and he's my first smash cake session.  Happy Birthday Aiden!!  I've had a great year with you!!

Here are some pictures from our recent shoot...

Week 32: i♥faces Surprise! Photo Challenge

This is a picture of my youngest son as he stepped into the spray of the sprinkler. I love the look on his face. He loves the sprinkler but has this same shocked look every time. I'm entering it into iheartfaces Surprise! photo challenge.

Ethan & Ava

I had a great photoshoot the other evening.  A friend of mine from highschool asked me to photograph her two adorable kids.  I shot at a new location.  It's a great little neighborhood with a huge lake.  The lake has a nature trail around it that's just fabulous!  Here are some photos from the shoot...

Blossoms Workshop

Thanks to Facebook and Link Love, I stumbled across the website Love That Shot.  They have great information on their website, wonderful tutorials and a fantastic, supportive community forum.

I am currently enrolled in the Blossoms Workshop.  I am loving it.  Just this week I've learned so much about my camera and photoshop.  Michelle is awesome.  Her lessons are very informative and very easy to follow.  Now if I can just get the weather to cooperate, I can finish my first assignments and blog about them. ;)

On a Winter's Day

My husband watches our 3 boys on Saturdays for a few hours so I can get out of the house. Last week we had an ice storm and that Saturday I ventured out to take some pictures. I've only had my camera for a year and I didn't realize how hard it is to capture an icy wonderland. It looks so pretty to the eye but I haven't figured out how to photograph it.
Well not wanting to waste my free time and really craving some creative expression, I went and bought some roses. It was about 30 degrees outside so I sat in the parking lot in my car and took pictures of the flowers. The pictures turned out okay. Here's one...

As I was driving home, I passed a field with some ice-covered trees. I pulled over to try to get some good shots but just wasn't happy with any of them. Then I eyed it...a beautiful, old, slightly rusted tractor sitting in the middle of the field. I grabbed the roses and made my way to the tractor. Here's a few of the shots I got..

 

I had such a great day and I've been enjoying the gorgeous roses all week.
