As you may know, my web site has been redesigned! Jennifer Noland took on the hefty project of helping me put together a cohesive web site with large images and easy navigation. She did such a great job! Please take a moment to visit the new web site.

I first met Faith in January when she came to a day long Pinned Up session. Eryk Datura did her makeup and Amber Wilburn styled her hair. Faith was so pleased with those photographs (and so was her husband!) that she decided to come back and do a second session with us in October. Eryk did her makeup again, and Shana from No Limits Salon styled her hair. Here are the glamorous results from both sessions!

When Lea came to La Photographie Studios for her boudoir consultation, I thought I recognized her. Sure enough, she is the childhood friend of my best friend Beth. Although Lea knew Beth had a photographer friend, she didn’t know it was me. Lea found me through Google.com, and proceeded to book a session as an anniversary gift for her husband. After hair at No Limits Salon and makeup by Eryk Datura, Lea looked just like a porcelain doll, albeit a sexy porcelain doll!

This is the third time I’ve photographed little Stella, if you include her “in utero” session when I did her mom Lauren’s maternity photographs back in the spring. Stella is one of the most photographic children I’ve ever met! Her temperament is naturally happy, so she loves to smile and giggle. She is very friendly and it shows in the pictures.

I first met Angel when she hired me to do her pre-wedding Pinned Up glamour portraits, and we became fast friends. Her wedding, which was this past June, went beautifully, but Angel didn’t feel that she looked her best in the photographs, so she decided to do another portrait session with her husband and mom. We picked the perfect fall day to go out to the Bicentennial Mall in Nashville to take their photographs. With hair by the amazing Shana at No Limits Salon and makeup by the flawless Eryk Datura, we produced the glam wedding session!

Amy is probably one of the most beautiful women I know, so I was honored when she asked me to do her maternity portraits. She had some great ideas for inspiration and we managed to get some amazing shots. I look forward to photographing her little girl sometime next spring.

About 6 months ago, a gift certificate was purchased from La Photographie for twin baby girls. I was so excited when Norah and Abby’s mom called me to schedule their session, which took place in October. Not only are these two little girls adorable and sweet, but they are redheads! I had a great time photographing them in their family home and here are some of the best shots.

One of my goals for 2009 was to photograph a Halloween wedding. Since Halloween was on a Saturday this year, I got my chance. Jamey and Susie were married on October 31 at The Rawlings in Joelton, TN. The bride wore a dress from Glitz Bridal in Bellevue, and the flowers and adorable decorations were by Loretta at Exceptional Weddings and Events. Jo from Jo’s Custom Cakes made the very cool wedding cake, which was made to look like a cemetery at night. Guests were encouraged to wear costumes, and they looked amazing! The “Wizard of Oz” group won the costume contest, and from the photo below, it’s easy to see why. With the romantic backdrop of The Rawlings in fall, Jamey and Susie pulled off their Halloween wedding with flair. Congratulations!

April and Will were married on October 17, 2009 at Brentwood United Methodist Church; the reception was held at the Embassy Suites in Franklin, TN. This wedding was very special to me, as I have known April since we were toddlers. We grew up together, and went to high school together as well. Although we lost touch for several years, I was so pleased to speak with April about her wedding photography. I couldn’t be happier with these photographs, and it makes me feel great to know that I was there to photograph such a special day in her and Will’s lives. Congratulations!

Cheryl & Chad were married on October 10, 2009 at Brookmeade Congregational Church in Nashville, TN. Cheryl and Chad are both photographers, so I was doubly honored when they asked me to shoot their wedding. With a distinct non-traditional style and a focus on fun foodstuff, this wedding and reception was a blast to photograph. Congratulations!
