Ellington Agricultural Center Family Photos

Meet the Sandoz Family! Leona and Griffin are the cutest kids, and they were full of energy. By the end of this session at the Ellington Agricultural Center in Nashville, I was panting! The whole family was a lot of fun and they were up for anything, which makes it even better. They decided to add a little variety to their shoot, and brought the kid's pillow pets, blankets, and books! It was magic. Enjoy!
 I created these collage pages exactly like I would if I were creating one of the amazing KISS albums!
 This just shows how fun this family was! Aren't the trees gorgeous?!
So precious! I wish every session involved props! Just think, you could do balloons and a cake for birthdays, bubbles for babies, pumpkins for fall, picnics for couples complete with wine and cheese... there are so many options! 

PS- I'll be doing mini sessions in November this year for families, seniors, couples, etc who want Christmas pictures or just updates to their wall! They will be 25 minutes long and will include all your files on CD to print for only $75. It's a killer deal, considering all those items are normally priced at $250 for an hour session. Email me if you're interested at writesarahmarie@hotmail.com so I can start planning!

Centennial Park Maternity Shoot

Yana and David are days away from having a baby, and they've kept the name a secret! Usually I do maternity sessions inside, but because this location (the amazing Centennial Park Parthenon) was so special to them, it made sense to do it here! It was 6pm, and the sun was beautiful!
 They did a great job climbing up the steps, especially Yana!
 So big, and yet so small
 Now there's perspective!
 One of my favorites!
 This is the classic pose with a twist
This is probably my favorite. David specifically asked for kissing pictures! What a guy!

Photo session in a treehouse!

A treehouse better than Swiss Family Robinson's!
This is the amazing couple that created it! Still a work in progress.
Swiss Family Robinson? Nope, but close! This was by far one of the coolest, unique, and...dangerous shoots I've ever done! I didn't know Nashville had it in for me, but oh my, I thought I was going to die 60 feet off the ground in a four story treehouse! Whew! Sure was fun, though, and really had a lot of fun with this couple. We ended up staying longer than normal, laughing, talking, and sharing a glass of wine that originated as a prop! What a great way to spend a Monday night! See for yourself!

Vanderbilt University Engagement Shoot

As music majors, the School of Music was the perfect spot!
Ally and Andrew met at Vanderbilt University when they attended there a few years ago. Since it meant so much to them (and the campus is amazing!), it was perfect for their engagement session! We expected rain, and were pretty excited about it, but as soon as we got there the sun burst thru! It ended up being beautiful and this Ally and Andrew were terrific!

On the steps of Kirkland Hall

Ally will make a gorgeous bride!

They have a blast together

There's proof!

Ah! So pretty!

Radnor Lake Photoshoot

Connor and Blake are such cutie pies! This family session was mostly for just recently turned one-year-old Blake, but the whole family came, including aunts and uncles! We had a great time, and came up with some great shots! Enjoy this Radnor Lake Photoshoot family session for the big smiles and huge gorgeous eyes!
 
 Big brother Connor was so well behaved, and his little brother loves him!

 Blakes' eyes are amazing!! They just glittered with life.

 Look at his face when he looks at his family. Aww

 His aunt was very clever and brought bubbles, they were a hit!

 In his brother's arms, his smile is infectious. 

So little next to mom and dad, but such a big boy!

Two Radnor Lake shoots in one day!

I love good weather! These two shoots were back to back this morning, and we had a fantastic time! Both families were very photogenic with great kids so it was a quick two hours!
 This session was mostly for this cutie pie!
 Standing is such a huge milestone we made sure to get it!
 We added a few of the two girls for good measure
 In between outfit changes, I couldn't resist!
 The entire beautiful family
 This little tyke was so serious, but super cute and cooperative
 Although he didn't much like kisses!
 Angel face
 He looks just like them!
I love the feeling of togetherness in this one! It was such a great day!
