Sneak Peeks
This page will show a handful of photos from the last 50 sessions I have photographed. A little info about each session and then clicking on the picture will show you a few of the session's photos. Please enjoy because I sure have!!
William's 1st Birthday
I was so glad when William's parents invited me to be the photographer at his 1st bday! I had just taken pictures of William when he turned 9 mos and he was the sweetest thing! My favorites are the cake pictures...he destroyed that thing, it was great! These are pictures that should never be missed on your baby's 1st!!!
Susan and her Poker Gals
Susan hired me to take some pictures of her and her friends on one of their poker nights. They ladies have been friends for years and years and they get together once a month for a Poker Night. It was great getting to be apart of it and take some really fun pictures!
Adorable Addie's 6 mo Session
This was one of my favorite sessions of all time!! I fell in love with Addie and her parents! She was the happiest baby and would not stop grinning! We took tons of photos but my favorites were the tutu pictures! It was a teeny tiny tutu and she wore it perfectly!
Morgan Stanley
I was so excited about getting the Morgan Stanley job! They needed some photos done for their office. They wanted individual and group shots, and shots that they could use for advertising for their business and for personal use. We did some inside and outside shots! This was my first time doing a session like this but it was great!
Brody's 9 mo Session
Brody's daddy works for the railroad so I thought it was a great idea when his mom wanted to go to the Collierville Square for his photos. There are some trains that sit up at the square and those pictures are my favorite!! I hope his daddy loves them!! Brody was so adorable and fun!!
Leena's Senior Pictures
Leena had gotten some senior pictures done somewhere and she was not very pleased with them. That makes me so sad because if there is one time in your young life you should be 100% happy with pictures you have gotten taken, it is your senior pictures! I was so glad when she called me, told me about her experience and we met! I was so glad that she was so excited and loved them when she saw her proofs!!
Land Birthday Bash
This was the most fun party! A friend of mine hired me to photograph a Birthday Fiesta she was throwing. Her father was turning 60, her sister 40 and her daughter 13!! They had a big bash for everyone together and there were margaritas, mexican food, and dancing! What else can you ask for?
McKenzie Neel
These are McKenzie's Senior Pictures. We went out to her home for these and I am so glad that we did! It was beautiful and so unique because no one else can have pictures there! She is such a beautiful girl and I think her pictures turned out Awesome!
Brady Hughes
This was my second time photographing little Brady! I love return clients so much!! I took pictures of him last year at Christmas time and he was the exact same as he was then! We ran around and played and I always get the best pictures of him then!! We got to see Monkey again too!
Jimmy's Battle on the Bluff
These pictures are of my Uncle Jimmy. He started body building about a year ago and my aunt asked me to photograph pictures from Battle of the Bluff at Tunica this year. He came in 3rd in his division! He did an awesome job and looks great!!
The Porter Family
This was the sweetest little boy! He had the very best expressions and was so cute! We met him and his parents at the Gardens for their session right after church. It was a perfect day...not too hot and we had fun!
The Grear Family
I am buddies with the daddy of this family, so going into this session I knew all about these adorable babies and could not wait to meet them! We had a fun time and the kids were sweet! Even though we are missing momma and little Nate in this picture, it is one of my very favorites!
The Yale Family
This was my second time photographing this family and I love that!! I photographed little Zoey when she was 6 months old. And this session was with her and her 2 cousins that are just as cute! I loved their overalls and loved even more how the mommas let the girls strip down for pictures in onesies and diapers only!!
The Mount Family
I actually have known and loved this family for a very long time! This is baby Britton...the newest addition!! She was the cutest thing and can I just say that I loved her polka dot dress. It was a hot one, but we had a lot of fun!
The Kasich Family
Last time I saw this mom and dad, little Veronica was in her tummy! I met this family at a wedding I photographed and loved them! I was so excited when I heard from them to take pictures of their little one! I couldn't wait! Loved her hat in the pictures at the end...CUTE!
The Harrell Kids
Boy was it a hot day out...but these kids were so good! You could tell this little boy LOVED his sister so much! I had so much fun just chasing her around everywhere! I love the pictures of them in the little alley! The were both so cute! And sweet!
The Clements Family
More adorable little boys!! This poor momma and I had the hardest time making this session happen! Either she would have something come up, one of the boys would be sick, or it would RAIN! We finally got to do her session today and we were so excited! This was one of my favorites...the boys were so sweet and we got to try some new stuff! Love the picture with the FAMILY sign!
Suzanna Little
Suzanna hired me to take some intimate shots for her. She is doing this as a surprise for her husband for Father's Day. He keeps asking for hints but she will tell him nothing! I can't wait for him to see his bragbook she got him as a gift!
Brody Williams
I am in love with this little boy! I met his momma when I did Maternity pictures for her when Brody was in her tummy! I just got to meet him the other day at my Open House and I couldn't wait for this session! When I got there, his momma said that she wanted some naked shots of him face down in the clover!! What a super cool mom! These are some of my favorite shots ever!!
The Seay Family
Can I just say that these are the most adorable little boys!! I met April Seay when she came by my Open House a few weeks ago for my Photography Business. She brought her youngest with her and I knew that I could not wait to take pictures of him! With those blue eyes and sweet smile I was hooked! And his big brother Will was JUST AS CUTE!!
Foster Woodwork
These are actually pictures of my office where I do my "real" job in accounting at D Canale. I love my job there!! We just moved to a new office and Randy who did the woodwork needed some pictures taken for his portfolio so he hired me. He did an incredible job!
Gabriella Cervantes
Today was Gabriella's first communion. And when I tell you how much she is loved you better believe it! One minute it was just her and the next, I bet she had 25 family members there!! It was so sweet! They were so proud of her and she looked almost angelic!
Drew Fuller
I took these pictures for Drew to have for school. He needed a picture to post of him and his violin, so we went out to a little park by the house with a lot of shade and did just that! He played the violin a few times to get some "real" shots and he played beautifully! I could have sat out there listening to him for hours and hours!!
Gracie's Tutu Session
I know you guys know pretty little Gracie! This is my dear friend's daughter and her mommy wanted some pictures of her in her new tutu. I told her that I would let her know when I have got a gap in sessions at the Gardens and we could take some there! It was hot out and we did not stay out for long but I loved the ones I got of her precious self!
The McGath Family
What a fun session! This momma had so many great ideas and I love that! She brought rose petals for the kids to play with and they turned out perfect in the pictures! Notice the swan in these! It could have not been in a more perfect spot for our photo shoot! And the kids loved watching him and the ducks!
Morgan & John's I do's
You have seen Morgan & John in the Engagement Pictures that I took of them at The Botanic Gardens. These are the pictures of them on their wedding day. We started out the day a little scared of rain...but it held off until the very end! They had such a great time and were surrounded by so many loving friends and family. I felt honored to be apart of their special day!
Katie & Brad's Couple's Shower
Here are a few of the photos that I took for Katie and Brad at their Couple's Shower. I loved hosting it for them with the other Bridesmaids but I still had to do my job as the photographer too!
Becca's Tutu Shoot
I just bought a couple tutus recently, and so of course I needed to try them out! I got my niece Becca to come to The Grotto after another one of my other sessions and we did! She had such a blast twirling around in these...and she was a Wild Woman!!
Victoria's Modeling Session
This was such a fun session!! I met Victoria and her mom a couple week's ago at The Grotto for a quick modeling photo shoot. She was going to be in a pageant in a couple weeks and needed some photos for a portfolio and a couple head shots. This was one of my favorite sessions!!
Anita's Intimate Session
This was my first type of session like this. Anita had been wanting to take photos like this for some time so when she asked me to do them I said "Sure!" We had fun! I have posted a few photos on here but if you are interested in this type session I have a portfolio you can view.
Kelley's 80th Birthday Party
This party was for my grandfather who was turning 80. My mom and aunts threw this party and my only responsibility was to be "the photographer". It was a lot of fun seeing people I had not seen in years! I completely adore my Pappaw and he loves pictures, so it meant a lot to me to be the one to take all of these for him. As you can tell from these pictures, no one had as much fun as he did!
Musicians - Kenny & Patience
This was my first session like this. Kenny is a jazz singer and he is the manager for this young girl Patience. Patience is a new singer that is hoping to make it big. Her manager Kenny is turning her demo into an upcoming show on Oprah and these were her pictures for her CD. I can't wait to tune in and I'm praying that she makes it! We hung out downtown for her pictures and most of them were taken at Sun Studios.
Christmas Sessions at The Collierville
Town Square
This was my first year taking Christmas Pictures. I set-up 30 minute sessions at the Collierville Town Square and did pictures all weekend. These kids were wonderful because in case you can't tell, it was freezing; I picked out 6 of my favorite Mini Christmas Sessions and added a few pictures of each of them: Brady - who was adorable and so spunky, he had tons of energy and I just ran around with him! I love these pictures with his stuffed animal; The Harris Family - this family was so sweet and it is obvious how much those boys adore their little sister, I loved the cuddled up and kissin pictures; The Grasser Family - I know this precious family from their wedding a couple months back. I think they just look like the perfect little family...the boys love their new step-mom, it is so apparent; Carter - who was so precious...he loved the train and just wanted to be able to be close to it...he had so much fun during the pictures on the caboose! Carter's momma was so, so sweet; Clark - was the cutest thing and such a happy baby! He would just laugh out loud and grin so big! He had his mom and two "aunts" with him...boy was this child loved; and lastly The Stotts Family - such a sweet family...their momma was so excited about getting these pictures made and she truly has some beautiful children. I loved their mittens that matched their outfits! These sessions were so much fun!
The Harvard Girls
This session was another one of my all-time favorites! These are twin girls and believe me when I say they were just as sweet as they look! We met at their grandma's house and took pictures outside to start on her beautiful back patio, and then moved inside. I love the pictures in front of the double doors, but my favorites ended up being on the end of the bed because they were just so special and unique! The girls were so much fun and they loved each other so much!
The Wyatt & Brock Families
Christmas Session 2008
I adore the boys of the Wyatt & Brock Families!! This is my second session with them and they are so sweet and so good about putting up with me! It is hard when you get this many boys together...but these boys are always great! The boy's moms wanted some Christmas Pictures but had so many combinations that they wanted, they wanted a real session instead of a Mini Christmas Session. We took pictures of everybody! It was great!
The Johnson Family
Turns out the Johnson Family and I are neighbors! We were having a simple session at their home and when I mapquested it, I realized I only had to walk around the corner and there they were! I have taken pictures of Tanna at her school before and she is precious! We took some pictures inside to start but my favorites were at their lake and bridge by their home. We had not even planned on going there, but decided to last minute!
Abigail Delloso
This session was one of my favorites ever! I met Abigail at her home in Lakeland and we went to the gazebo and bridge in her neighborhood. She is a beautiful girl and the way her hair color and outfit went with the colors of fall...it could not have been any better! I love all the candids on the bridge! It just so happened her "Papa" was raking leaves into piles so we finished up the session playing in a pile of leaves...I don't think he minded doing that pile again!!
Katie, Brad & Becca
Engagements - Part 2
Hundley Bunch Engagements Take 2...and it is daylight!! Yay! This session was so fun! Leaves were on the ground everywhere and my favorite shots of the whole day are the ones down this road. I got a bunch of pictures of them playing in leaves; and in this one they are playing "ring around the rosie" (the little girl, Becca's favorite). It is like they don't know I am there and they are just having family time! It turned out perfectly!
The Cobb Family
The Cobb Family with JC this time! We met at The Botanic Gardens and took some pictures once JC was back with us. He had so much fun with his parents, but I really think he just wanted to hang out instead of me stopping him for pictures all the time! I loved the pictures of them laying in the grass...I think it shows their playful, fun sides! Their matching color schemes were perfect!
Everett & Jillian
These are the sweetest two kids and I absolutely adore their mother! I had taken pictures of Everett at his school so he and I were already buddies, but I got to meet his older sister Jillian at this session. Jillian was such a model, I told her mom that I couldn't wait til Senior Picture time, that we were gonna have so much fun! I got a lot of candids of these two (especially Everett) which are my favorite kind of pictures!
Katie, Brad & Becca
Engagements - Part 1
The Hundley bunch was running about an hour late for this session, so we didn't get to take pictures long. You can tell as you go thru them that it was really bright in the beginning and the colors are beautiful, but by the end of the session it had gotten pretty dark. We still got some in though and I think it gave them something a little different. I will be at this location again next week...so we can fit it a few more I'm sure!
Sam & Daniel
We did Sam & Daniel's Engagments at The Botanic Gardens. They are not getting married until 2010 but Sam was so excited about Daniel popping the question that she wanted to go ahead and do them NOW! My favorite shots were under this tree, evidently this tree looses all its leaves in one day (Sam could tell you more specifics!) and we must have hit it just right because the tree was bare! The leaves were so bright and they were like a blanket all over the ground...it made for some great pictures!
Becca & Katie
Halloween Shoot
I did this Halloween session for Katie & Becca while we were at our Family Reunion. They were throwing a Halloween Party and wanted to have a picture to send as the invitation. We had so much fun!! The colors were beautiful and the leaves had just started falling so we had to gather up a pile to use for this picture! This is the picture that Katie choose for the invite...it was my favorite as well!
The Hoover Family
I met the sweet Hoover Family at the Collierville Town Square. At the Square there is a train called the Winston Hoover. The daddy of this family is "The" Winston Hoover. It was his grandfather's actual train so they wanted to have photos done with it. It was really neat being able to photograph them at a location that was so special to them.
The Canale Bunch
The session was taken at a Neighborhood park and it turned out to be one of my favorite spots. It was really, really early and the way that the light was shining behind little Webb turned out wonderfully! I met with Webb early and then his cousins came in at the end for some shots of them too. This was a long session where we really took our time; and we had a couple bumps in the road, kinda a crazy day, but I was really pleased with the turnout of these pictures!
Dalton's 1st Birthday
After Dalton's session I went back to his house to take photos at his birthday party. He had lots of friends there, and all of the family was so, so nice. He had a great time opening his gifts but I think everyone's favorite time was during the cake eating!! He was serious about that cake and I got some great close ups of him that I hope his momma loved!
The Rutledge Family
This was my second session with little Dalton. Today was his 1st birthday and I met him at the park by his house to do some 1 year photos and some photos with his cousins. Their outfits were all homemade and matching blue and brown...they looked adorable! It was cold out that day so we didn't stay out for long. Plus we couldn't be late for the birthday party afterwards!
Collierville Christian Academy
This was my first session of school pictures and it was a blast but very, very challanging!! I am used to being able to relax and take my time, and this was anything but!! I started out a little shaky and too slow; but by the end I was a pro...joking with the kids and giving out stickers! These kids were all so precious and I think they had fun playing with the hay and pumpkins! I must thank my wonderful assistants Katie and Jules...I could not have done it without them! I was very pleased with the outcome of the pictures and hoped the parents liked that they were getting something a little different than the average school picture. I appreciate Katie and Kathy for the faith they had in me and I hope they have me back in the spring!
Carrie & Phil
I had a great time with Carrie & Phil on their session, but this was not for Engagments like it might seem. They have been married for over a year even though they look like young love birds in these photos! This was supposed to be a family session but it turned out that their son was with his dad that weekend. But don't worry...in a couple weeks we are having a redo! But why not go ahead and take some "couple" pictures now!
The Laurie Family
I had a lot of fun with the Laurie Family. These pictures were taken mostly because Angela wanted some pictures of her and her brother, which she so obviously adored. It was sweet seeing them together...you could tell that they were very close. I also got to meet and take pictures of each of them with their individual families. The best part to me was seeing how each family member meant so much to each other!
