I had so much fun with these girls, they are so full of life!  The sun was amazing as it was setting behind the mountain.  We got some pictures in their Halloween costumes.  I hope that you guys enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. 

My husband and I went to school with these 3 GORGEOUS kids mom and dad so when she contacted me about the casting call I was so excited!  I can’t wait to see baby #4 when she gets here.  These kids were so fun to be with they just did their thing and it never bothered them that this strange woman was sticking a large camera in their face!  I wanted to thank this family for letting me be a part of their day and I would also like to thank them for waiting for their sneak peek because my little guy had a double ear infection.  Thanks again guys I hope you love the sneak peek!

I got to meet this couple because of my casting call and I have to say I am so glad that I did, they are amazing!  I almost had to cancel this session because of the rain and as I was driving to the session I was torn because it started to rain but the sun decided to come out and I am so glad it did.  I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

I love, love, love this one!

So this is how I spent last weekend…you may be thinking WOW she got to go watch the UT vs UCLA game and yes I was there in body but I can honestly tell you that I remember very little of this game except what I saw on TV when we got home.  Daddy decided to take the oldest to her first UT game.  On Friday, we go to town and get her a new shirt because her shirt from last year was too small.  We take baby brother to the grandparent’s house because mommy really could not deal with a 1-year-old at the game and I admire those parents that brave a 4-hour game with a baby!  So daddy tells us that we will be leaving the house at 8 AM (for those of you who do not know the game started at 4 PM).  After I pout a little because Saturday is the only day I get to sleep past 7 AM we get ready for bed.  We wake up bright and EARLY and head to Greeneville to meet up with some friends.  We stop at a Food City on the way to Knoxville to get food for Tailgating.  We are giving her the FULL game experience, daddy’s idea not mine.  We finally get to Knoxville at 10:30ish and start setting up.  She is so excited to be here.  Well about an hour later she has already started to complain that it is hot, so I go to the car and get a hair bow to pull her hair back and she does not want this “okay then I do not want to hear you say you are hot” but she does want her sunglasses.  Why do children’s sunglasses look like Elton John designed them?  So we finally eat but not after some of the burgers went into the grass!  Daddy wanted her to see the Vol Walk at two so we start the 15-mile walk, well not really but in all the people it felt like 15 miles, we get there all it is a sea of orange and white, not a single spot that is close, and we got there 30 minutes early.  We watch the Vol Walk and then decide to head on in and get to our seats.  So we go to our seats and the game starts and literally 5 minutes into the game she was DONE I heard her little voice over the crowd “mommy is it almost over” great this is going to be a long game!  So during the game she fell asleep on me and complained the whole time!  Note to self: Five -year-old daughter NOT READY TO GO TO A FOOTBALL GAME.  In her defense, I think that she would have been fine if we just made it for the game but she had already had a full day before that!  Also, row 18 seats mean NOTHING to a 5-year-old, but to daddy it means a lot!  So after the game was over we went back to the car and sit for about an hour before we even tried to leave so by the time we got home it was 11 PM.  I had such a headache by the time we got home!  This is pretty much how we spent last weekend.  Hope yours went better!

Here is an update of what I have been into…

I just finished a photography workshop by the AMAZING Marta Locklear.  She is an amazing artist, photographer and really just an amazing person!  I am so excited to share my growth as a photographer with you guys.  I feel that I have grown a lot over the past 3 weeks and have found “myself” as a photographer.  Here are a few pictures from our final assignment.    

Notice he is picking the one green grape!

He found out that he could eat the grapes and not just squish them in his hand and he wanted to share.

I just love this one!
