Strawberry Festival at Fern Valley Farm, May 24th

Did I mention that Izzy and I had a great time at Fern Valley Farm? We visited again over the weekend to enjoy Farmer Larry and Ms. Linda's Strawberry Festival. We got an up-close visit to all of the animals. Izzy even got a kiss from the alpaca! Later we enjoyed tasting homemade strawberry preserves, strawberry shortcake, and homemade strawberry ice cream. Yum! The event ended with a farmer's market where we were able to purchase and handpick our very own carrots. Izzy loved it! Great place!

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, the...

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, ...

Lincoln

One thing I love about this hobby of mine is that I am starting to meet new people. Coming into a stranger's house, asking to rearrange furniture, and taking over control of their brand-spanking new baby just doesn't seem to be polite at all, but for some reason, it works! I really appreciate the trust that Amy and Derek gave to me while I was able to capture some super cute shots of their sweet Lincoln. Even though Lincoln is only two weeks new, Momma and Daddy were already perfectly comfortable with their new addition. They are pros already, which is much more than I can say for myself and my husband when our Izzy was only two weeks old. Lincoln was so sweet, and he was prepared for his session. I left saying that this was probably the easiest newborn session I've ever had; I even got it done in record time! I might be going out on a limb here, but I think that has to be a good sign for the parents. It was truly my privilege to get to capt...
