The Leggett Family

Lucky for me, I have a really big family ~ so I've had many opportunities over the past month to practice my photography skills
 This weekend, I got to spend some time with my Uncle Steve and Aunt Connie and their sweet family
 Also, lucky for me, everyone was having lots of fun, which made me and my camera very happy 
Steven led the day with the craziest poses… somethin' about those cowboy boots had him in rare form :)
 A sweet moment with Alesia, Emily, and Eric… love her blue eyes!
 This is one of my favorites of Connie and Steve ~ I got one of the kiss too, but love this look in between
 It's kind of funny ~ I had them do this pose several times throughout the shoot ~ and each time, they all assumed the exact same position and order… Great smiles!
Little sweet pea and her daddy
 Love this one of Steven and Mary Elizabeth 
 And Alesia and Eric with their beautiful blues
 Sweet look
 I'm a sucker for gorgeous little kid faces
 By this time, things were starting to get really silly… Steven had a term for this (I don't recall), but all I can think is "jazz hands" ~ Regardless, it makes for a fun picture
 Playing peek-a-boo
  Love love this one of Connie and Steve
 They all three kind of resemble each other, right?!
To finish off the day, Mary steals the show! 
Fun, fun pictures… love the silliness and all the smiles. Thanks for letting me practice on you!

    What a beautiful family! And, another Mary Elizabeth? I think your relatives are the lucky ones - having such a talented photographer around to capture such fun memories :)

In That Space

Image
Wow! It's been a while.  Coming to this seat to reflect and write is always in the back of my mind, but sometimes it's just more complicated than others to actually get here. I have several significant events to share with you. I have pictures!! You must see! We've celebrated Charlie turning 5 (Oh my Lord! His world has changed!) We had our family Christmas time. We've had SNOW! We went skiing. Life keeps happening. I photograph it when I can. And I come here when it's time. It occurred to me today why I haven't been posting much.  This blog is primarily a place where I capture memories, store my photos, share a few laughs, and watch my kids grow. I tend to organize it around the photos I take. While I have a few pictures that I want to (and will!) share with you, for some reason my thoughts haven't been very focused on those photos or those events. I've kind of been in a weird space since the beginning of the year. It's not a bad space…...

… And My Most Silly Sweetheart ~ My Baby

Image
Finally, I get to introduce to you my baby ~ Charlie Aaron Hatcher. Chuckles. The most perfect nick-name there ever was ~ It's so profound as a mother to bring a new life into the world, and only a few short weeks after the little miracle arrives, you feel like you already know his personality and who he will be. I am describing Charlie to you today using nearly the same words I would have used when he was 3-months old. Funny, whimsical, stubborn - yet easy going, independent, and extremely loving (when he wants to be!) This child has enriched my life in so many ways. He is a little ball of energy, with a sassy attitude that cracks you up. And it's all topped off with a sugar coated sweetness that can melt your heart. I thought I had nearly mastered parenting, disciplining, and molding a child by having practiced with Sam ~ but come to find out I essentially had to throw out everything I learned with Sam, because this one has been a whole new ballgame. Amazing how that wo...

We Heart the Tomato Head

Image
It has become quite a tradition for the Hatcher family to visit our beloved Tomato Head anytime we have the opportunity. Because we tend to go out to eat a LOT… and because a good dining experience is quite high on our (or at list my) list of priorities, the opportunity to go to the Tomato Head presents itself quite frequently. Always once, many times twice per week. I do believe Sam and Charlie have even decided it to be their favorite place to eat (or maybe they just know it makes mama happy!) On Monday, while on our (home) vacation, we decided to take advantage of our glorious East Tennessee treasures up in the Smoky Mountains. Lucky us… there is a Tomato Head in downtown Maryville ~ so we had to visit as we were passing through. At both locations (Market Square and downtown Maryville), we prefer to sit outside. They have their trademark colorful lights hanging at both locations. Our meal always begins with blue chips and hummus. Always. Sam and Charlie gobble up their ...
