These little boys are just too terribly adorable.  It was a hot, buggy day and neither brother was entirely sure they wanted to hang out with me but well they are just too cute for words and I love getting the chance to hang out with their sweet mom and chit chat a little!  Enjoy.

Its not a secret that I don’t take on many weddings.  For now, I’ve chosen to focus on the portrait side of photography.  However, sometimes a couple will come along who I click with and who seems to really understand my style of photography and how that works with weddings.  This couple is one of those.  Dave & Jen had a beautiful, intimate wedding with all of their closet friends and family on a HOT day in May.  I loved the colors they chose to use to accent their day (how could I not, they very close resemble my OWN branding colors!??!), I love the connections they had with everyone their on their important day and I love the connection and love the two of them share.  It was a fabulous day, congratulations Jen & Dave! Enjoy.

The beautiful bride

The handsome groom

Fabulous shoes

The sweet and timid little ringbearer

Just look at the look on his face while they exchange rings… love!

The kiss!

Love the balloons in front of the church

Sigh…

A close knit group.

The rings

And the first dance… again… love the way they look at each other!

Many blessing Jen & Dave!

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.

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.

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!

I’m a little behind on blogging as we enter the end of the outdoor portrait season.   But don’t worry, I still plan on blogging all the sessions!

Here is big boy Eli!  I remember first seeing this sweet kiddo when he was about 6 months old and couldn’t get over what a good combination of his mom and dad he was.  And you know what, about 6.5 years later, its still the same!  He has such a vibrant, funny personality, a gorgeous smile and those eyes!  Enjoy.

I have to say that I’m very excited to post this sneak peek. I love this family, I love this little boy, I love the light we had tonight, I love what they all wore to the session, AND I love how connected they truly are to each other.   We originally thought we would spend the session focused on sweet baby L but after mom and I talked, we realized we would make sure we got PLENTY of family shots in too.  I really really wanted to get some sweet shots of this family doing what they do best, loving on each other. I think we scored! Along with some SUPER cute shots of little L, as well! Enjoy.

And one of my favorites from the night!!

Th Sutherland family is a cute, sweet family filled with gorgeous brunette daughters that were just a joy to work with!   The weather was perfect, Cannonsburgh Village in the fall is just BEAUTIFUL and even though a Saturday there means LOTS of other people, we had a great time finding nooks that would be just perfect for their family.  Their oldest daughter Marissa, is a senior at Lavergne High School this year so we took a few extra of just her to highlight that!    Enjoy.
