Ian & Averie: Back to School Photo Shoot {High School and Kindergarten}

This originally was just going to be a kindergarten shoot for Averie since I fully expected Ian to not want anything to do with it (you know, being a cool high schooler and all). He told me he was willing to jump in a few.  I love how much he watches over his baby sister (even when she annoys the crap out of him). I love how she looks up to him and thinks he is the greatest big brother ever.

(She starts next week. I will be worthless.)

(He started a couple days ago. I cried. I'm a loser)

Oh, my heart can't stand this.

So many emotions. 

I want time to slow down just a little.

James, Amy, & Ava Otto: Nashville Photographer

I have been photographing Miss Ava since she was just days old and I've been lucky enough to see her several times a year. However, this latest session made my heart burst just a bit because she is starting to look so grown up. That baby face has been replaced by this gorgeous girl and I got a little glimpse into what I think her teenage years will look like. I just love seeing her so much and we had so much fun playing outside. She is such a gem!

Loved seeing you all--as always Amy, James, & Jane!

This bonnet was her beautiful Mommy's as a little girl.

Harrison Thames, 18 months: Murfreesboro Baby Photographer {Chronicles of Narnia Photoshoot}

 Harrison is going to have a baby brother in a few months, so he recently got a new room. The theme? The Chronicles of Narnia

We were really hoping to get snow last week to be able to do these and we even contemplated a trip to Chattanooga when we saw the snow there. However, it wasn't in the cards. We made our own make- shift Narnia instead (and his Momma made a crown just for him)...

After we left Narnia, it was time to just capture HT. The only problem is that he just wanted his Momma to hold him. So, I had to make her leave.  ;)

In these shots, we were looking for a bunny. We never found one, but he was pretty excited about it.

The shots below are some of my favorites. Except for the fact that he looks like he's 3. Ugh! HT just loves my daughter and she was helping us out here. She was throwing leaves at him and had him giggling up a storm. I loved watching them play (that's a rarity since he usually gets on that 5 year-old girl's nerves). Love this boy so much!!

 Stop growing up so fast, sweet boy. <3 p="">
