LINDSIE AND BO 6.21.08




















O MY GOODNESS. That is all I have to say about that!


okay I lied.... My point is that this wedding was just WOW. I followed Lindsie and her girls around all day and Lindsie loves pictures. A few months ago I did Lindise and Bo's e - session and I immediately knew that this girl cares about her pictures!

I highly recommend an e - session and they are INCLUDED in all of my packages as well!

We started out the day at High Styles Salon in Maryville on High St. They were so nice and accomodating to Lindsie. She and her girls took over the salon for the day and got ready there. If you have not checked out High Styles, I highly recommend it!

Once they were all dolled up, we headed down to downtown Maryville for a mini bridal session. They all rocked it out.


From there, we headed to the wedding at River Johns Island. What a neat place! Bo had worked hard for days setting up the decor and it showed. Bo, you did a wonderful job.

Following the ceremony and reception, I hopped in the getaway car with the newleyweds and headed to several locations in Maryville for a private shoot. WOW. I was stoked to say the least. Along the way, we came across a beautiful classic red car. OMG.

I am having trouble narrowing down my faves for the blog on this one, so here are some and you may just get another blog post too.

Do u heart pix? Lindsie does.


(BTW, Lindsie and Bo your wedding was beautiful and yes I did cry when I saw all your girls crying. You all are such sweeties!)

MEGGIE AND JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


























Meggie and Joe got hitched June 14th in Pigeon Forge, TN. June 14th happens to be a special day to me, because that is the day my husband and I celebrated as our 10 year anniversary of being together. (7 years married) ENOUGH about me though. This day was to celebrate Meggie and Joe who were/are high school sweethearts. They met in Chorus and Joe impressed Meggie by singing to her.

Awww how romantic is that??? They danced to that song on their wedding day.

Here are a few of my favorites from their day. I hope that you enjoy!



I started out the day by meeting the guys at the church many hours before the wedding began. You guys were such great sports.


After that, they had to eat of course. What else do guys eat on their wedding day?


MCDONALDS!!!



After a while with the guys, I met Meggie and her girls at Blades Salon in Pigeon Forge. That place is awesome. Love it.



After the hair was did : ) we headed to The Color Bar for makeup.

wow wee she is a hottie





Meggie made her girls a home-made box containing their gifts. How cute.




Meanwhile, Joe was a bit nervous and ate about 3 boxes of mints.



The ceremony was beautiful and Mom started crying as soon as she sat down, which of course made me cry




Meggie and Joe I had a blast at your wedding. I wish you all the best and hope you had fun on the cruise.

The broken arm





Almost 2 weeks ago, I received frantic messages and texts at work. Normally my husband does not text "asap". The timing could have not been worse. I was right smack dab in the middle of a presentation for about 75 people. As soon I could, I called my husband and found out that our little boy, Jayden, was hurt. I got to his daycare as soon as I could and he was just lying there on the couch and could not pull himself up. He was dragging his left arm behind him and whimpering when I got him up.


I rushed him to Children's and the dr. assistant lady comes in after about 1/2 an hour of waiting which I guess is not bad. She thought he had hyper-extended his elbow, so she grabbed it and thought she popped it back into place. Sounds painful huh? It looked painful.


Jayden started screaming. He already would not let us touch it before this. She explained how common it is and that he should be okay in a few minutes.


10 minutes goes by.....not okay...... 20 minutes......not okay......30 minutes.... still not okay



Soooooo, they bring in a lady that brought toys and bubbles to get him to use his left arm. Still would not. She left the room and he lifted it once for me, but then screamed.



So off we went to the xray room. NOT a good experience. No mother wants to see their kids in pain and Jayden is my baby and is a Momma's boy.


In the xray room, I had to hold his injured arm in an obviously painful position. He cried crocodile tears the entire time..... so did I.


After what seemed like an eternity in the xray room, we returned to the holding room where my husband met me. (Thankfully my sister picked up our daughter. Thanks Lorie. )


It ended up that he had broken his elbow. They splinted it and put him in a dinosaur sling.


The following Monday, we took him to the Orthapedic Clinic. What a flippin madhouse! They had about 10 receptionists, 20 doctors, and a gazillion patients. Not fun at all..... with both kids in tow. Nope, no fun. They were really nice, just very very busy.


As soon as Jayden realized that we were in another dr office, he started crying like crazy. They ended up putting a blue cast on him and said he broke his arm right at the elbow, so his cast goes all the way from his hand up to close to his shoulder. They also could not do a waterproof cast on him.


Although it sucks to see the baby with a broken arm, I am so thankful that for the most part my kids are healthy. I am blessed and confident he will get better soon.


Last night I had to dig rocks out of it. Geez.... We also went camping Memorial Day weekend and he decided to cover it in dirt. You can't wash a cast!!!!!


He goes back to the Dr on Friday the 13th for his next checkup!

Brittney's Dance







Brittney's dance recital is coming up. She is growing up so fast and will be in Kindergarten soon. A few weeks ago, she got all dolled up for her class photos. They use another local photographer for that, but I could not resist in getting a few of her while we waited.

Thank you to Premiere Dance Studio in Seymour, TN for a wonderful year. Ms. Kim you are such a wonderful teacher!

Brittney Bear - you are my angel and I love you with all my heart "sweetheart rabbit"
