Malone

The bad part about this photo session is the reminder of how old I'm getting.  I've known this young man since the days of Maloney Baloney and even before then, which doesn't say much to some, but to me, it screams of the MANY years that have gone by.  To be able to watch a child grow into an adult is remarkable, and I've had the unique opportunity to watch this guy turn into a charismatic, witty young man.  I know his mother and father are very proud of the man he is becoming.  :)

I've witnessed Malone being a sneaky instigator, a prankster, a protective big brother, a supportive teammate, a resourceful student, and a leader among his peers.  Also, I didn't realize just how funny he is until I had him in my class.  Ultimately, I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to see Malone's transformation over the years, to learn who he really is and what he is capable of.  And while most other seniors are excited about getting the next phase of their lives started as soon as possible, Malone is not ready to move forward just yet.  So, hopefully, since he isn't in too big of a hurry, his senior year will be the best and most memorable yet.  

Malone is a member of the golf and basketball teams.  He has had the privilege of being a part of our successful, state basketball team this past year, and I know fans like me are expecting more of the same this season.  No pressure, Malone!  With that said, good luck to him this year.  I hope he is as successful in the classroom as he will be on the gym floor.  

Just another clue as to how I feel about Malone…I wouldn't let just anybody point a gun straight at me, loaded or not.

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, ...

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...

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...
