The Lassiters

I guess I should ask Casey if I can reveal that we chatted about wedding photography before she was even engaged... :) to get the point across that she and I have been waiting for this day for what seems like years! I knew when I photographed their engagement photos this winter, they were a special couple. Blake is charming, patient, easy going and Casey's laugh is a photographers dream. I don't think I ever had to tell them to laugh or be themselves... they just naturally were so sweet together and so easy to capture. Their day was perfect, from the weather, to the FUN wedding party, to the gorgeous bride...





my favorite shot of the day: Casey and her dad before the ceremony.

the trolley was so great. and the drivers: part-time clowns. seriously.

Casey and Blake's band was incredible. My favorite part of the reception was when the lead singer, we'll call him 'Usher', pulled the bride up on stage... and got low.


Congrats Casey & Blake! View more of Mr & Mrs Lassiters' big day here.

I must give a shout out to my second shooter for the day, Jessica... who captured this shot above of the rings (among over 1,000 other shots of the day). She's such a dream to work with. I'm blessed to have her as a friend. It's really so neat how God drops special people into your life. See more of this talented woman's work on her new site Jessica Wright Photography.

The Fountains

Congratulations Carlton & Will! Just wanted to share some of my favorite moments of their wedding day... everything was gorgeous, from the church to the cake, but especially the bride. Everyone involved was having a great time... It was my first time to shoot a reception at Vulcan and it's now one of my favorite venues... but it did help that the weather was perfect.

Hey there little Hayes...

Welcome to the world, Hayes! I love photographing newborns and was so excited to squeeze in a photoshoot during his first little week with us. If you photograph babies in their first 2 weeks, they'll still curl up in a ball... and sleep most of the time. Which is easier than chasing a 2 yr old, for sure. :) Their dog, Kirby, got to be in a few photos, too... in his 'big brother' t-shirt. Kristin and David actually revealed to the grandparents that they were expecting by having Kirby sport a little shirt that read: "I'm going to be a big brother." So fun.

Jonathan Wyatt Golf Tournament

It was an honor to help capture a few candid shots for the Jonathan Wyatt Golf Tournament in Clarksville. This was their 5th year to raise money for local youth in memory and honor of Jonathan and they had a great turnout with over 140 golfers and tons of volunteers. Thought I would post a few snapshots and the link to Facebook and Pictage, where all the photos can be viewed and ordered.




The funniest moment of the day: pushing our dead golf cart up hill from the back of the course. We could barely push from laughing so hard. Luckily, while inching our way past a few guys working on a roof, they took pity on us and towed us back. Everyone involved was having a great time... which is just what Jonathan would have wanted.

Audra Grace

I thought it was the sweetest idea when DANIEL emailed me about surprising Abby for mother's day... with a photo session of their little girl, Audra Grace. I grew up with Abby and it's so fun to watch her as a mother now and get to know her all over again. We started with a few photos at their home in Clarksville, in her little pink room, then headed to my parents farm for a few shots in her Christening gown and of course my favorite yellow baby bucket. :) They're a very precious family and I look forward to following her around with my camera as she grows!
