Ashley & Jessie: 5 Years Later

Here's to five years!  

When Ashley asked me to do this session, I accepted immediately, of course; however, I soon started having a small panic attack.  Her idea was to do the exact same poses that were captured at their wedding five years ago, wedding dress and all, with their little girl Lexie.  The problem was that Anglen Photography took those original wedding photos.  They aren't local anymore, but I used their services for my wedding as well, so I know just how amazing AP's work is and I would never consider myself anywhere near their talent or expertise.  Thus, the small panic attack.  I knew I couldn't replicate the exact images that Ashley loves so much, but once all the images were uploaded, I embraced this challenge as a way of finding my own style.  So, instead of having the exact same images, I hope that Ashley and Jessie see this collection as a sort of updated representation inspired by the originals. 

I'm honored that Ashley chose me to document this special time for her.  I hope I have done some sort of justice to those original images taken by Anglen Photography.  Regardless, this family is beautiful, Ashley and Jessie still fit in the same clothes they wore five years ago, and I was there, once again, to witness the love these two people have for one another.  This time, however, I was able to show how their relationship and family have grown.

 Happy five year (plus a couple of months!) anniversary, friends!  I hope you enjoy...

Ice Pops, Splash Pads, and Creeks

I've not posted in a few days, but that doesn't mean I haven't been shooting.  I'm trying to make a habit of photographing some moment every day, no matter how seemingly insignificant.  Sometimes I don't get much, but sometimes I do.   Izzy has a neighbor friend that she plays with often, and it seems like every time they play, they eat.  This particular day brought them ice pops and confetti cake.  These two love to play together and the boy has never met a stranger.  He cracks me up with his "Hey!" whenever we see him.  He makes himself at home well, too.  Such a fun kid.   Next, we had another play date with Lexie!  At another splash pad!  We have a few more to visit before we can say we've conquered them all in our area.  This one was at Steele Creek Park in Bristol.  While I like Bristol, and I like Steele Creek Park, I prefer Rotary Park in Johnson City.  Plus, there is a drainage problem here, so o

Splash Pad!

Play date number 2 is in the books!  Two play dates within one week!  Ashley, we're killing it!  :)   We met up at Rotary Park in Johnson City to have fun at the new splash pad.  When we drove up, I was a little worried about the crowd because the parking lot was -FULL- but it wasn't that bad.  We just plopped our bags and towels down in the pretty astroturf and got to playing.  It was a beautiful, hot day, so the water was a great idea.  Except I had to remind myself that I had a camera in my hands!  I found myself fascinated with the motion of the water, so I tried to get in as close as I could to capture the movement.  I was also happy to see how blissfully happy the girls were while playing.  Izzy completely let loose as soon as we arrived.  I love that this girl can have so much fun no matter what we do.  Cousin Hazen joined us, but I don't know that she had as much fun as Izzy and Lexie.  She did, however, introduce the girls to different types of fidget spinners

Muddy Puddles

Izzy loves Peppa Pig, and if you've seen the show, you know about muddy puddles.  Today was our day to play like Peppa, George, and all her friends.  Thanks to my good friend Jessie, I had a little nudge of inspiration with a pin from Pinterest, and I figured we might as well have a little fun in the rain today instead of staying cooped up inside.  I was going to hold off on posting these, but I just can't wait.    I love my girl, her smile, her personality, her fearlessness, her strong will, and her playfulness.  I hope she always stays the same!
