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.

Okay so some newborns sleep.  And some eat.  And some fuss.  And some pee on us and some poop on us.  And you NEVER know what you are going to get.   So every session is interesting and different, just watching to see what kind of baby you’ll get.

So meet Mr Luke.  Precious little guy, 2nd born son to a sweet, fun family.  His mom and I had a great time chatting while we worked.  And let’s just say that after Luke… well I have a LOT of laundry to do!!    Enjoy.

That’s right, I had the opportunity to photograph newborn twins and they were sooo sooo sweet! I was able to do some shots of them, on their own and then some of them together. I have to say, they were soo much more peaceful and content with all my positioning and moving, when they were together! The BEST part was when their hands intertwined on one of the shots, with NONE of my doing! I can’t wait to see these two grow up and how much they’ll love on each other then! Enjoy.

This little guy sure wasn’t so sure about my posing!  He was a tiny little thing and sure liked to be cuddled.  He’s precious and sweet and I know his family is just in love with him!!

For those who are asking, I’m quickly booking into May and June.  May is just about booked up!  If you are thinking about a newborn session like this little guy’s… be sure to contact me while you are still pregnant.  Its very very important that newborn sessions, if at all possible, happen in the first 10 days of life.  After that, they start to lose their new, tininess and they stop wanting to sleep so much for us, as well

Stayed tuned this month, Whitehill Photography has a nice line-up of Senior reps to start the Senior Portrait season out right!

Enjoy!

Man oh man, this little one is a cutie.  Having two girls, I often am found drawn to baby girls (because they are what I’ve experienced) but this little one, with his head full of hair and his little newborn “smiles” won me over instantly.  He’s precious and I had fun photographing him.  Enjoy!

And check out THIS adorable smile!  How could I NOT show this one?!?!

I had the honor of photographing a tiny, sweet little newborn on Monday.  She is absolutely gorgeous and has a gorgeous, sweet family, too!  I really enjoyed photographing her and chatting with her mommy and daddy, even if she gave us a big run for our money in the first half of the session.  This mommy booked with me in advance of having her little one and was able to let me photograph her when she was 6 days old.  For any future, potential newborn clients this is really perfect timing to capture your baby while they are still so tiny and fresh.  Way to go mom! Enjoy the sneak peek.

I couldn’t not post this one of gorgeous big sister!

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.

This sweet little guy was such an adorable squeaker!  Even fully asleep, he’d make the most precious squeaks while I positioned him.  I tell you, it just made him EVEN cuter!  He really wasn’t quite sure of who kept interrupting his sleep and then once he was done, he was sooo done with me.  Luckily I captured some precious images, nonetheless!  Enjoy.

So I always warn my clients, before a newborn session… don’t sweat it if they pee or poop on us.  Good thing I warned momma TODAY because this sweet baby girl gave us LOTS of laugh from all her accidents, all over both of us!  She is a beauty though and each clean up was easy peasy.  Check her out… enjoy!

She slept for us! There isn’t much sweeter than a sweet little newborn who is content and sleepy, curls up and ahhhh… beauty!  Enjoy!
