Photo Shoots

I had the opportunity this weekend to do two family photo shoots, so I thought I'd share a couple of my favorites with you…
First was a full shoot with the Pearson Family at a very cool barn in Knoxville. 
We had several elements working against us… sun, high winds, occasional vehicles passing by, Charlie roaming around…
But I think we were able to capture a few keepers during the process!
Jack and Davis did a great job!
Though I do recall hearing them ask me several times "Why are you taking so many pictures of us?"
But then they'd keep smiling!
It got a little intense when I insisted on capturing a shot of them on their bellies in front of this barn…
This is when the wind decided to stir up some grass and dirt, blowing straight into their faces. The sun made its presence known a few times. They were pretty much over it. I was hoping to get that million dollar shot…
As luck would have it, this one was my favorite! Captures the moment perfectly.
They were a little more receptive to this shot from a different angle… but only after I let them play with my camera for a little bit.
This little moment was all them… I didn't direct it. I think it's sweet ~
And my personal favorite, captured by Mr. Jack Pearson (age 5) of my dear friend, Kristen, and I. You get a sense for the wind situation here. This is not a new look I'm going for (in case you were wondering)!

Next I headed over to the lovely UT Gardens to capture a quick family photo of the Harper Family.
I was up for doing more, but they insisted just a quick picture!
Little Max and Cate are gorgeous kids to photograph
They're eyes just kill me ~
It was a fun day of photo practice for me with some sweet sweet friends!

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 ...
