Madilyn & Tim

When my brilliant former student Madilyn asked if I would do her engagement session at my alma mater, of course my answer was emphatically, "Yes!"  Much like her answer to Tim's proposal!  Visiting TC was like returning home for me.  I'm pretty sure it's been at least six or so years since I've set foot on campus, so I was experiencing the wonder of Tennessee's oldest college as if it were my first time all over again.  Things have changed, but much has stayed exactly as I remembered.  I had forgotten, however, how magical the library was.  During my years at TC, the library underwent a huge addition, and the upgraded model is simply beautiful and truly the heart of the small campus.  I spent many days, especially in the last couple of years, locked away in this home-away-from-home of mine, and as I stated to Madilyn, I suppose this is where my love of libraries really began.

Coincidentally, this same library was exactly where Madilyn and Tim's relationship began.  Their story is sweet and totally romantic, and they casually re-lived meeting for the first time in one of the library's classrooms, which is exactly where Tim proposed.  Tim is thoughtful with a great sense of humor; he kept both Madilyn and me laughing the entire session.  And Madilyn, well, she is still that reserved, naturally beautiful young lady who is obviously armed with an incredible intellect.  Both are quick-witted, driven, and focused on the next phase of their lives together.  Such a great match!

Thanks to Madilyn and Tim for allowing me the opportunity to experience Tusculum again and for trusting me to document this special time in their lives.  I truly wish them all the happiness that life has to offer them, and I trust that everyone will join me in congratulating them on their engagement!

Here's Madilyn and Tim...

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!
