Lauren + Jeremy = Omni Hotel Engagement Session

You won't have to look at too many of the photos below before you realize how fun Lauren and Jeremy are to hang out with.  I love couples that can laugh with each other and be silly.  This session definitely takes the cake for the most balloons I have ever used on a shoot, but I think it was totally worth it.  I need to give a special shout out to Lauren and Jeremy's friends that helped out with this shoot because there is no way I could have blown up and then popped so many balloons if they hadn't been there to help.  We started their engagement session at the Omni Hotel and then headed over to Vanderbilt where Lauren went to school.

Maggie Rose Music Video

I have some awesome/talented friends.  Two of those friends are Tyler and David over at Yeah Yeah Creative.  About 2 months ago I got to help them out with a music video for the amazingly talented Maggie Rose.  I did the lighting for the video.  It was such a fun day and I loved getting to collaborate with other creatives to make this happen.  Here are stills I snapped and the music video:

Coming Home

Gray has been trying to escape out the front door so we thought it was about time to return to the USA.  Two weeks in Italy has been amazing but we are ready to get back to our friends, family, and life in Nashville.  We feel so blessed to have taken this trip together.  If you want to know what it is like to travel internationally with a 1-year-old please feel free to send me an email and I can give you the hard facts.  If you haven't been to Florence, you should come.  It is beautiful.

One of My Favorite Moments...

...in a wedding ceremony.  The more time I have spent as a parent the more I have come to understand just how emotional and meaningful this day must be for parents.  I feel so blessed that I get to witness moments like this and the ones that take place before and after.  I shoot a lot of weddings in dark churches so I was happy to have perfect lighting for this shot.
