Nashville Maternity Session – Abby, Nathaniel & ?

Something is in the water!   We had so much fun with Abby & Nathaniel for their maternity session.   We went to Abby’s grandfather’s farm for some great outdoor shots.   I LOVE the rusty shed we found.  What you don’t see in the image is the huge cow that was watching us the entire time.  Anyways, we can’t wait to meet their little boy, who has no name yet, but I know they have some great options ready.   They are waiting to meet him themselves before he gets his name:)

Abby Tylor - We LOVE these pictures! Thanks for such a fantastic job – per usual! :)

Nashville Bridal Session – Robin

We are excited to finally be able to share some of our bridal session with Robin.  She and Stephen were married last Saturday at Cheekwood.  Robin is such a trooper, not only was it raining at her bridal session but it was also raining last Saturday.   Both times she was totally calm and everything went off without a hitch.  We will be sharing images from their wedding very soon, but until then enjoy a couple of images from our session…how pretty is she?!?

Laura - really gorgeous!

Nashville Maternity Session – Ben, Alicia & Henry

We were so excited when Ben & Alicia asked us to photograph a maternity session with them.  Alicia is one of my best friends and it’s so fun seeing her go through her pregnancy:)  They are expecting their little boy, Henry, in July.  We have a running joke that Henry will play with our unborn little boy, Harry, and they will speak with British accents.   That wouldn’t be weird in Tennessee, would it?  Anyways, we can’t wait to meet Henry in a couple of months, but until then here are a couple of images from our session last week.  Enjoy!

Nashville Engagement Session – Paul & Jennifer

Paul lives in Canada. Jennifer lives waaay up North, right below Canada. Jennifer’s family lives in Kentucky.  No one is from Nashville, but we’re so glad they are deciding to bring all of their friends & family down here for a wedding/vacation and we get to be apart of it! Even though they live far away, we have already had a couple of chances to hang out and get to know them before their big day. They’re a super sweet couple and we are really looking forward to their wedding in July with the fantastic Mary Alice of A Delightful Day! Last month they made a trip down to take care of many wedding details, one being their engagement session. We had lots of fun, and even though they “said” they weren’t comfortable in front of the camera, I think they pretty much nailed it:)

Nashville Wildhorse Saloon Private Party – Olhausen Billiards

Last weekend Phil and I photographed a private birthday party for the owner of Olhausen Billiards, Donny Olhausen.   Olhausen makes beautiful pool tables, some of which fill the entire 3rd floor of the Wildhorse Saloon where the party was held.  Here are a couple fun images from the night…enjoy!
