When I think of the Grand Canyon, I think of warm desert but NOooo!  It is cold up there in January!  Observe...

Chris is always doing this completely cute thing where he kisses Adrienne on the forehead.  I love it!

Still cold but getting warmer...

and then just a couple of hours to the south - warm weather and lush greenery.  This is my favorite part about the west!

Adrienne has the best laugh!  It comes from deep inside her and shows all over her face. :o)

Nashville Engagement Photography – Ashlee and Ben

Written by Mel McLellan

Sean and I love to learn about our couples so that we can incorporate who they are into their engagement sessions.  When I started planning things out with Ashlee, she sent me a description of them that said "Ashlee loves pink, coach purses, shoes, etc...Ben is a farmer, hunter, and fisherman! Ashlee has to learn to love farming, tractors, etc. and Ben has to learn to shop, buy pink things, and understand why I need more than one coach bag!"  LOL!  They really could not be more different and yet it's completely adorable just how much these two love each other and want to make the other happy! :o)  It's so nice to see two people with big, polar-opposite personalities and no desire to change who the other person is.

Ben's family farm was the perfect backdrop!

Since my two favorites for this post are far away, here's a third so you can see their bright, shining faces. :o)

This is probably my favorite from the entire shoot!  Sean quite frequently sees these killer compositions and executes them in just such a way that it makes me totally envious - seriously, why didn't I see this?? ;o)

Thanks for inviting us into your home and sharing your farm with us!  It was great to see you guys again! :o)

Nashville Portrait Photography – E-session with Lauren and Billy

Written by Mel McLellan

We put it off and put it off attempting to avoid the cold but wouldn't you know we were just destined for it??  On the very last day of cold weather, we all came to grips with our fate and braved the temperatures! :o)  Lauren and Billy were awesome and we're so excited to be photographing their wedding this year!  Here are a few images from their session that are up for consideration for their Save the Date cards.  Want to help Lauren decide which one to use? :o)
