I’ve photographed little David as a newborn and now I got the chance to photograph all three siblings together.  David wasn’t really sure he wanted to sit with big sisters but we pulled out some great images, nonetheless! Enjoy.

There is just something really really cool about watching a child grow.  As a photographer, its especially fun to see this same child come back, time and time again – at each big milestone.  I’ve been photographing sweet Bella (& her sweet parents) since she was 3 months old.  She really wasn’t overwhelming in love with the idea of our session but we got some beautiful images that I just love!  Enjoy.

Another fun family is on the blog.  These little boys are some of the BEST behaved little boys that I have EVER photographed.  Sweet, loving to each other and very mild mannered and followed direction perfectly.  It was easy and just so fun to photograph them.  They are precious AND have adorable parents too!  Enjoy.

You might remember that I had a giveaway recently for a free mini session and canvas.  Well Diane Baker entered the contest and won a free session for her family! I can’t wait to see which image she chooses for her canvas.  She has a beautiful family and we had a fun time in Murfreesboro.  Enjoy. 

I just love giggly, happy girls!  They remind me of my own.    Older sister LC loves the camera and is afraid to give me big smiles or sassy serious looks.  Little sister Lane is just a ball of energy with LOTS of sweet fun smiles and laughter.  Never a dull moment with these two and well I just love their parents too!  Sweet family.  Enjoy!

I’m a planner.  I like to plan things.  I like to plan for sessions, I like to plan birthdays, I like to plan vacations.  I like to make lists.  I REALLY REALLY like crossing things OFF my list.  I like the KNOWN.  I like having a plan and knowing what path our life will travel on.  So when I started this business, I had a 5 year plan for Whitehill Photography.  So far, things were going great along that plan and were moving even a bit faster than I planned.  I prided myself on what I had accomplished as a NEW photographer here in Murfreesboro.  I prided myself on every gorgeous smile, every ray of sunshine, and each and every home that had my portraits hanging in it.  I never would have imagined that in such a short time, I would have been voted Best of Parenting 2010, Favorite Children’s Photography.  I never would have BELIEVED that I would have been voted Rutherford County Ruthie’s, Best Photographer 2010.  I was in awe and amazed by the path that God was leading me on.

Then sometimes things change.

And then sometimes things change ALOT.

As of June 2011, Whitehill Photography will no longer be located in Murfreesboro, TN.

Its a simple matter really.  My husband’s job is moving.  And where he goes, I surely will follow.  As of right now, we don’t know the full details of WHERE we’ll be moving.  It could be as simple as a short move northwest – to Nashville.  It could be as far as moving states away.  But what I do know is, our time here in Murfreesboro has come to an end. In a few weeks we will know the full details and I’ll be sure to keep my fans and clients in the “know”.  If we are moving to Nashville, then I can certainly still have sessions with my clients here in Murfreesboro!

So what does this mean?  Well I have an email inbox full of requests for Spring, Summer and Fall sessions.  As it stands, I only have 2 months to try to fit everyone in and with full sessions and ordering prints, I just don’t see how I can manage (especially considering how much rain we usually get in the spring)  So for the first and probably only time, Whitehill Photography is offering mini all digital sessions, at a very very affordable price.  These sessions will be 30 minutes sessions (not themed for any season, etc) of your choice and with the price of the session, you will receive a disk with all of your digital proofs and rights to reprint those images!
The sessions are only mini sessions (30 minutes).  Therefore they will not be available for Senior sessions, infant (babies under 6 months) sessions or extended family sessions.  There is just simply NOT enough time to try to attempt any of those sessions for a mini.  IF you are really wanting a session with me before Whitehill Photography moves and you would like a regular full session then I do have a small handful of full session dates available.  Please contact me quickly, however, I do believe they will go quickly!  All full sessions will be allowed a discount of $50 off the session fee.  That only applies to full sessions booked.

Below is the flier with the full details.

The New Year is upon us and Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.  So its time to plan the Valentine’s Mini sessions again.  Very similar to last year, just a few changes and a week earlier to avoid the rush this year.  I’m offering a free 5×7 to the first 5 people who book a time slot and pay the session fee.  Just to hit the hightlights:  January 15th. 11am-3pm. 20 free mini cards with the purchase of a package (or meet the package minimum).  one child and one outfit.  15 minute mini sessions in studio.  3 different packages to choose from or create your own.  Can’t wait to see you all again!

Still catching up from November sessions!   I had the opportunity to photograph the sweet Bevins children in November.  SOOO well behaved, sooo sweet and it was an easy session full of fun smiles and giggles!  Enjoy.

So I’m sure you’ve probably noticed that the blog has been painfully ignored the past few weeks.  In an effort to make the fastest possible turn around for all my clients await proofing galleries for Christmas cards, etc – I put blogging (and Facebook posting) on hiatus.  So starting today, I’ll be posting a few images from some of the sessions I had the past few weeks.  I hope that everyone had a delightful Thanksgiving and that the beginning of their Christmas season is going smooth and wonderfully!

I’m starting off with one of the winners of my giveaway.  Unfortunately my first winners had things come up and they were not able to make it for their free sessions so we pulled more names out of the hat.  SOO, I was able to photograph this sweet little girl again.  If you’ve kept up with my blog, you’ll have seen her throughout her first year and here she is again at 18 months.  She is ADORABLE!  Enjoy!

I had  a chance to photography sweet little C in his home last week.  Mom and I had a good time invoking the best smiles, giggles, serious stares and mischievous little grins out of this cutie!  The little guy is the younger brother to 3 adorable big sisters and mom has had them each photographed in their baptismal gown, at around the same age.  We couldn’t let him go without the same portraits!  We then moved on to some sweet images of him just showing off his latest skills!  I can’t wait to see what he’s up to at our next session.  Enjoy!
