Whitehill Photography - Murfreesboro Photographer, Murfreesboro, TN Photography

It was a hot evening and little August just wasn’t so sure he wanted to smile tonight.  Actually, he was PRETTY sure he just wanted to jump into the creek and cool off!   No matter the conditions, August is a total cutie and I think we got some definite keepers!  Enjoy.

The final session for Miss A’s first year!  She really wasn’t so sure about our location choice this year but with the help of “photographer’s assistant”
dad we got some great big smiles out of her! Enjoy

This first image is the Whitehill Photography’s take on an image that mom had with HER mom, in the same sweet dress (that grandma made!!)

And if you remember her previous sessions then you will notice the other dress in all the other shots.  Its been so fun to watch her grow and  fill out the pretty dress.

Okay so you know what I love?  I love fun kids, who love each other and are willing to have a little fun with ME!  And you know what I got??  JUST THAT on Thursday evening.  The B kids were hilarious, silly, sweet, GOOD LOOKING and well, we just had fun!!  I really have to brag on these kids.  It was so nice to see a brother and sister, their age, not mind holding hands or hugging each other.  They were really sweet with each other and I have to think its because mom and dad have done such a good job with them!  So I have sooo many great shots from this session.  I’m going to include my normal big images for the sneak peek and then a collage of some of the other really great images that we got, as well.  Enjoy!

The weather finally warmed up, dried up and everything is a bloom.  So I finally got to take some shots of my girls in their Easter dresses.  And let me tell you… not only was the weather beautiful, not only were the flowers beautiful but MAN, oh MAN… this mommy is proud to say THE GIRLS  are so insanely beautiful, it takes my breath away!   I have sooo many of these to share and (so many I’m going to want for the walls!!!) but here are three to start us off.
My oldest… quiet, shy, a total bookworm.  And gorgeous.

And another…

And my youngest – bubbly, charismatic and also very very cuddly!

I am SOO excited to be out and shooting outside again, I can barely stand it!

I’ve had the chance to photograph big sister and now I’ve had the chance to photograph tiny, new baby sister EG.  She’s sweet, beautiful and so easy to photograph.  She slept and slept for me, we had very few “accidents” and well she’s just pretty! Enjoy.

I know, I know… there are a million people out there asking you to donate your hard earned money for a cause.  Telethons, walkathons, raffles, school fundraisers, church fundraisers, sports team fundraisers… the list goes on and on.  Its not often that I talk about my personal life here on the blog.  However, the annual Walk for MS is approaching and we’ve begun assembling our team.

“MS, you say?”  Yes, Multiple Sclerosis.  “But that’s treatable right?!” For many there are treatments that really work and really help.  Unfortunately, not all forms of MS have and FDA approved medications or treatments for them.  The way we fight this is for more money and more research.

A few years ago, my husband – my amazing wonderful gift from God husband, started having some strange things going on.  He was having intense fatigue and deep leg pain that no medication was even touching.  Things progressed and after alot of drs appointment we found an answer.  My husband has Primary Progressive MS.  PPMS is one of the more rare forms of MS that really have no helpful treatments for.   So my husband is left in pain pretty much every hour of every day of his life.  You would never know it unless you noticed him limping or watched my vibrant, young, seemingly healthy husband use a cane on long walks.  He’s determined not to let this thing stop him and we are all determined that they (meaning the wonderful doctors and researchers out there working hard) WILL give him some hope and some relief one day.  So I’m asking YOU to help us!

The event happens on April 10th, 2010.  Registration begins at 9:00 am and the walk begins at 10:30 am.  Its a 1 mile walk (nothing too strenuous, I promise!!) at the Barfield Crescent Park here in Murfreesboro, you can find registration at Shelter #7.

If you can, join our team or sponsor us.  If not, please include us in your prayers as we walk!

After the hustle and bustle of fall portrait and Christmas card season, this photographer is taking a much needed vacation.  Starting Monday, December 21st- January 4th, I will be out of the office.  I want to spend the rest of this week concentrating on my family and what this coming holiday means to me and our family.  After Christmas we are going on a highly anticipation family vacation and will be away from the computer.  I do have access to my email if something is incredible urgent but won’t be available at all times, even through email.
I want to take this time to again thank all of my amazing clients this year.  It has been an incredible year;  full of learning experiences, tons of laughs, millions of silly noises (by me, to get those sweet children to smile!!) and I thank you for following me on my journey.  I pray that you and your family have a blessed Christmas; delighting in what it means to be a family, the miracle of His birth and the beauty of it all.   Happy New Year, I’m excited for what 2010 brings and the changes it brings in your children as I get to capture them growing!
And fittingly… a little bit of love shown by my own sweet children:

So this session was just MEANT to be.  Mom and I both wanted an outdoor session for little Mr H for his one year session.  His first birthday, however, is in the middle of December.  We all know that we have mild winters here in TN (no matter how  many times we pray for a White Christmas!!) but today was an EXCEPTION.  Today was crazy warm and even the thick clouds gave away to beautiful sun!  Just wow!  So we had a great session walking around the square of Franklin, TN.  We had some GREAT store owners who very gracious in allowing us to use their benches (Thank you Ivey and Prim and Paper)!  Put it all together and we had a super fun session.  To top it ALL off, this is my last session of 2009.  What a great way to end an AMAZING year.  Thank you to all my clients from the past year! To celebrate that, Mr H’s mommy gets a larger than usual sneak peek… enjoy!

To start it off… some amazing connections here.  This momma and daddy LOVE their son and you can just FEEL it, being around them!

Oh man, oh man, oh man!  I had a newborn session tonight and this little guy was just sooo sooo sweet.  We had some GOOD laughs (hope mom is all cleaned up now!).   After a bottle and some swaddling, though, we were good to go and got some super sweet images of this precious little boy.  Enjoy!

This has been a long awaited session.  Both of these beautiful “kids” are growing up on their parents and moving out in the world.  We were hard pressed to find a date that would work for all of us but luckily, we managed.  I met this family at the Oaklands Mansion and we had a fun time capturing family portraits and more!  Enjoy.
