Samantha’s Baby Shower | Hendersonville, TN Photographer

When Steve and I got married back in 2011, almost none of our friends were married and/or had kids. It’s been so fun to watch relationships grow from dating to engaged, then married. And now, we have the pleasure of watching our friends have kids of their own! It’s about time, you guys! Haha! Last weekend I attended a baby shower for my friend Samantha, and was asked by the host and my dear friend, Jenni, to take some photos while I was there. I normally don’t photograph parties and events, but since it was for a friend, I made an exception.

The shower was early in the day, so we were provided with an amazing brunch spread! Even though I’m in the middle of a 21 Day Fix program, I still splurged a little and had one of the delicious chocolate frosted donuts. Shh, don’t tell anyone!

We also played a baby shower game where everyone wears a clothespin and is instructed not to say the word “baby.” If you catch someone saying it, you get to take their pin. As you can see from the bottom of this post, I won the game by taking 8 pins! Haha! I’m so competitive when it comes to baby shower games.

My friend, Jenni, did such an amazing job hosting the shower at her beautiful home. All the decorations were so adorable, and the food was delicious! Her co-host, Darilynn, unfortunately had to stay home sick , so we made sure to Facetime her so she could see how everything turned out. It certainly was a great time with an amazing group of ladies! Congratulations on your little baby boy, Samantha!

Happy Family of 4 {Nashville Family Photographer}

Hendersonville, TN Family Photographer | I love my church. We have an amazing kids program, as well as special events and programs for men and women. One of these programs I’m involved in is called iMom. Once a week during the school year, I meet with a couple hundred other moms like me, and we are fed spiritually, emotionally, and sometimes physically! It’s an amazing time to connect with other women who are in the same stage of life as me, and to make and develop many new friendships.

At the end of last semester, we held a drawing, and a few lucky women won various gift cards. At the last minute, I decided to give away a mini photography session in the drawing. So, I ran up to the front with my little piece of paper scribbled with the details of the session, and sweet, beautiful Laura was chosen as the winner! I hadn’t met her previously, but I’m so glad that I finally had the opportunity to spend time with her and her adorable family, and provide them with a beautiful family photo session. I think I’ll make the photo session giveaway an annual thing from now on! Especially if it means I get to hang out with such amazing families as this!

Reagan’s Newborn Session {Hendersonville, TN Newborn Photographer}

Hendersonville, TN Newborn Photographer | Last week, I posted Reagan’s Fresh 48 session and her mommy’s Maternity session. Today I’m happy to share her newborn session with you! Reagan was so excited about her newborn session, that she didn’t want to miss a thing! The only time I could get her to stay asleep was when she was wrapped up, so that’s how I had her for most of the shots. I wasn’t able to pose her as much as I normally would, since she would wake up as soon as I would unwrap her, but I’m still thrilled with the shots we did get. And of course her mama looked as gorgeous as ever!
