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.

I met Mr H and his mom (and dad) for the first time last week.  But as we met up for our session, the clouds opened up and the rain started.  So we waited around and then finally gave up and rescheduled for this week.  Mr H is such a sweet little guy!  He loves yellow and his momma and I loved photographing him.  We met up at the Oaklands Mansion here in Murfreesboro where they trees are just starting to turn.   Enjoy!

Isn’t this just the cutest?  How many 2 year olds do you know who love to put their hands in their pockets and pose??!

I had the honor of photographing sweet, happy, VERY well-behaved children today!  The session was mostly focusing on baby “A” who was a blessing to photograph.  Barely fussed, patient, and sooo sweet!  But I also got to photograph her super sweet older brother “C” who was so so very patient with us and very well-mannered .  Obviously these children totally won me over.  Mom, I got alot of keepers, it was hard to narrow down which to show you! Here are a few to enjoy now!
Big brother LOVING baby sister… look at how they look at each other already!

A little love with mom…

She loved those hands of hers!!!

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet sweet baby boy on Saturday.  What made the experience THAT much sweeter was to see his dad with him.  You can feel the love and joy radiate out of him and that’s enough to make any mommy (or other daddy) smile!  Baby N was very very sleepy so we had to be creative to get what we wanted but I think everyone will be happy! Enjoy!

WARNING:  sweet baby alert!!  B’s momma contacted me awhile back and I’m so happy to finally meet her.  A little bit of a rough start (she was hungry!) and she was NOT sure she wanted to smile for us but man, oh man… she is still a total sweet cutie! We tried several different things out, dodged a few spit up splashes and managed to make her smile a few times!  Enjoy momma & daddy and thanks again for finding me!
