Baby Micah is here!!

After a long day of induced labor and waiting, Baby Micah Graham was born last night at 10:52 PM. We had been marveling all afternoon and evening at the other babies in the nursery and their sizes, but when Micah came along, he took the prize for the biggest baby weighing in at 8 lbs 9 oz and he was 21 inches long! I think his daddy has been praying for a football player! UT had better start recruiting him soon or his daddy will send him to LSU!



I loved being there to see the anticipation all afternoon of Micah's pending arrival. Tim and Jill have such a kind and supportive family and I wish all of them the best. And let's not forget Big Sister Ella. She was such a trooper! A full day at the hospital waiting for her baby brother and her efforts finally paid off late last night. She is so proud of him and I'm sure she will be a great sister!

Senior 2007

Just like engagement session, High School Seniors are very fun to work with. We travel around to some of their favorite places, have a little fun and capture their personallity while were at it. Yesterday, I went around with Tim who will be a senior next year at Vero Beach High School in Vero Beach, FL. I was hoping to go to him so we could hang out on the beach, but instead he came to me! (His true love is the mountains, anyway.) Click here to see the fun we had.

My Family

I am always sharing pictures with you from lots of different events, so how about some pictures of me and my family. This is through the eyes of Christy Bonifacio, one of my associate photographers.



Thank you, Christy!

Rhonda & Bentley (and Charleah)

Last Saturday, I had the privilege of spending the afternoon with a great couple Rhonda & Bentley and their dog Charleah. We traveled around Maryville finding some unique locations to capture Rhonda & Bentley spending time together on a nice afternoon.
I really love shooting engagements because I get to hang out with couples and get to know them on a personal level. Getting to know Rhonda and Bentley has been great and I can tell that they will have a wonderful future together.

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

I recently decided to donate my time to an organization called "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep." This organization was founded a little over a year ago to provide bereavement photography services to parents who are experiencing the loss of a child. These services are offered completely free for the families. If you know of anyone who is in need of our services, please feel free to have the family contact us. If you work in any facility that deals with families where our services might be needed from time to time (i.e., OB/GYN office, L&D at a local hospital, funeral home, hospice, etc.), please let me know so I can provide you with brochures about the services that are offered.

The Wedding of Alyssa & Philip

Last Saturday, John & I headed out to the Museum of Appalachia for the wedding of Alyssa & Philip. I had never been to the museum before, but it was a neat replica of an Appalachian Village. Their ceremony was held out in the middle of the village and there were peacocks roaming around everywhere. They kept spreading their feathers to get everyone's attention. The ceremony was very nice and the rain held off, too! The funniest thing was when one of the ring bearers went to make his way down the aisle and got hung up in the runner and fell straight to the ground. The look on his face was priceless.

Jeremiah

Here's the little cutie I got to spend the morning with on my first day back this week. At just 3 months old and 17 lbs, I think he is destined to be a football player. (And, I bet his daddy isn't upset about that at all!) If you want to see more, just click on the title to view his slideshow!
