The Russell Family

I have known the Mommy in the Russell family since we were in middle school. Katie and I attended Oliver Springs Middle together and then attended high school together. She was always such a sweet girl and her smile could light up any room she walked in. Well, I'm happy to say she hasn't changed a bit - she's still a sweetheart and her smile still lights up the place. Except for now she smiles a little bit bigger since marrying her Prince Charming and then recently adding Mommy to her resume.  

Addilyn Grace is on the Baby's First Year plan with Memories & Blessings Photography. I love this plan because it allows me to watch little ones grow up - right before our eyes! Addi is simply adorable and had changed so much since I last saw her in December. Addi had some awesome little facial expressions that kept us laughing throughout the session. She even giggled out loud for one of the first times! I had so much fun hanging out with the Russells and am looking forward to Addi's 6 month session in June! Here are a few of my favorites from Addi's three month session with her family.

She was not happy with me, lol.

Once she found her hands she wanted to play with them the rest of the session! Too cute!

Happy Half-Birthday, Kailyn!

I first met Miss Kailyn Nicole just six short months ago at Parkwest Medical Center. I was blessed to do her newborn photos just a day after she was born. I remember thinking how alert she was! She had these big blue eyes that watched every move I made. The Tapps are the first family to take advantage of the Memories & Blessing's "Baby's First Year" plan. I get to see these precious little girl every three months and each time I am completely amazed at how much she's grown. Watching babies grow up through my lens is one of my favorite parts of my job. Sometimes, you don't realize how much your own children change because you are with them every day. So, when I get to see other's kids after a long time I can definitely tell how much they've grown up. Take a look at how much Kailyn has changed in the past six months!

I was so excited that Carrie was willing to stop off on Pellissippi Parkway and get some shots of Kailyn in the daffodils. She was simply adorable in her overalls and bare feet. We got some great shots despite the fact that Kailyn was more interested in the passing cars and of course the taste of the daffodils :)

After we quit playing on the side of the street, we headed down to the UT Arboretum. Spring is evident at this location! The colors were beautiful and will only get prettier as the season comes into full swing. Happy half-birthday Kailyn Nicole! I look forward to seeing you in three months - by then, I'll have to chase you down to take your photos! Take a look at a few of my favorites from the Tapp's session.
