Desirea ~ May 2010 ~ White House, TN

2010-10-05T13:22:00.000-07:00

Desirea and I have gotten to know each other over the past few years and she's turned into a wonderful friend. She saw Ashley's pictures and decided she'd love to have a go at it too. Here are two of my favorites from our shoot. She looks so lovely!

The Bryant Girls ~ April 2010 ~ White House, TN

2010-04-15T22:18:00.000-07:00

What little ladies these two have grown into! I had the pleasure of meeting Heath when he was in anesthesia school and then found out his wife was a scrapbooker! We instantly had something to bond over. Now several years later they both still make me laugh. Their daughter's, Bailey and Riley were SUCH a joy to get to know all these years, and now to photograph.

Noah & Graceyn Jamieson & friend Sydney ~ April 2010 ~ Madison, TN

2010-04-15T13:11:00.000-07:00

I've had the pleasure of getting to know Heather and her two GORGEOUS children, Noah and Graceyn, and their friend Sydney. Noah is SUCH a little ham for the camera and I couldn't stop taking pictures! Grayson and Sydney were such little ladies in their Easter dresses. Enjoy their pictures!

Ashley ~ April 2010 ~ White House, TN

2010-04-06T17:13:00.000-07:00

Ashley is one of my dear, dear friends and we had been talking about doing this shoot for a long time. We had a blast and came away with some GORGEOUS pictures, and she gave the ok for a couple to be posted to the blog. Isn't she absolutely beautiful?

Sara & Tim ~ November 2009 ~ The Parthenon, Nashville, TN

2010-02-07T10:35:00.000-08:00

Sara and I went to High School together back in 'the day.' We found each other on Facebook and started chatting. (Oh the friendships FB has brought back!) She and Tim live in Chattanooga, but come up to Nashville often to visit family. We talked about doing pictures for several weeks and finally our schedules allowed us to get a photo shoot in. Sara suggested The Parthenon and I think we got some AMAZING shots. They just announced their engagement! Congratulations you two! :)

Ashley & Lance Engagement Session

2009-12-08T23:26:00.000-08:00

Ashley and I have been talking about doing her engagement pictures for a couple months. Our schedules finally worked out and we headed to downtown Nashville for some fun. We started out on the Shelby Street pedestrian bridge and got some pictures with the Nashville Skyline in the background. Then we headed to some spots on 2nd Avenue and then down by the river. Thanks Ashley and Lance for a great e-session!

Nashville Hanson Concert - Wild Horse Saloon - October 27, 2009

This was moved to the very first post that is on this blog as it is not part of my photography business. Go to the bottom of this webpage and hit older posts to get to it.

Thanks and hello to all of the new friends I made!

Kendy in Historic Downtown Franklin - October 2009

2009-10-20T14:32:00.000-07:00

I had lunch with my friend Kate and her adorable little girl, Kendy, this past weekend. Gotta love the Mellow Mushroom! :) Kendy had a blast while we were walking around. She was dancing up a storm! She stood still for a millisecond and I was able to catch the posed one of her by the stately looking waste can. And I love how big her eyes are in the ice cream parlor! Eating 'pink' ice cream is a serious job ya'll! Derek, thanks for letting me steal your girls for the afternoon!

Casie and Joseph, Clarksville, TN - September 2009

2009-10-12T08:49:00.000-07:00

Casie and I went to High School together "back in the day" and we reconnected over FB. Now she has her an "army man" and wanted to get some pictures of them together with him in uniform. They were such a pleasure to photograph and I can't wait til we can do more!

Krista at Drakes Creek - June 2009

2009-10-12T08:39:00.000-07:00

Krista and I used to work together and we've become great friends over the years. We went out to the Hendersonville park and had a great time finding cute places for poses. Here are my favorites.

Amy at Drakes Creek - June 2009

2009-10-11T23:23:00.000-07:00

Before I took a client out to the Hendersonville Park I drug Amy out for some test shots. These are some of my favorites.

Michael W. Smith V-Day Weekend

2009-02-26T21:33:00.000-08:00

Over the Valentine's Day Weekend I had the amazing chance to photograph the Michael W. Smith weekend at the Opryland Hotel. It was a beautiful weekend and it was a nice chance to get to see friends that I have made at the previous events. Here are some of my favorite shots...

(Ok... So maybe I didn't take that last one. But that's me with some of my best friends as we manned the registration tables!)

Fall pictures with Giana, November 2008

2009-02-26T19:26:00.000-08:00

Fall.... It's my favorite time of year. You can almost smell the crispness of it coming. Things turn brilliant shades of brown, yellow, orange and red. Normally those are my least favorite out of all the colors... but somehow the natureness of it all create something magical! Giana and I headed out into rural Chattanooga and found some of the most amazing colors!

Portraits with Angela

2009-02-26T18:43:00.000-08:00

Angela came to me about doing some pictures for a class project. She's one of my best friends and we had a TOTAL blast taking these. I love the last four of her in a tree. Our bad as it turned out we were trespassing on some poor soul's property! But I love the way the evening sun was coming in from straight behind her. Also on one I loved playing with the camera flare (the little circular spots on the picture) as it just seemed interesting. Thanks for some great poses Ang!

Urban Portraits with Giana, Aubrey & Justin

2009-02-26T18:16:00.000-08:00

I talked to Giana after I did the portraits of Abbey and told her how much fun I had and that I would love to get some more practice in. Giana was happy to volunteer and also recruited her friend Aubrey and Aubrey's boyfriend Justin. I really think some of the shots were amazing. And I like some of the edginess of Giana's!

Urban Portraits with Abbey

2009-02-07T10:02:00.000-08:00

The following images are from the first big project i did with my new Canon Rebel DSLR. I took a digital photography class at my university and we got to work with an amazing professional wedding photographer, Garrett Nudd (www.garrettnudd.net). I learned many new tips and tricks and I really feel that I grew as a photographer and artist during those two weeks. At the end we got to go out and shoot with him. These are a few of my favorite shots...

Welcome!

2009-02-07T09:11:00.000-08:00

I have always loved photography. I think that any moment in life is worth capturing. For my 16th birthday my parents gave me a 35mm Canon Elan-7 SLR camera... I felt like I had such a gift in my hand! I've now moved onto a Canon DSLR and am still loving every minute of my photography.

So welcome to my blog, where I'll show some off some of my favorite shots!

MOVED:

Hanson Concert
October 27, 2009
Wild Horse Saloon

I moved this here as it is not part of my business. However I handed out business cards at the concert and wanted a place for my concert contacts to see them. - Chelsea

So this isn't the kind of thing that I would usually post on my photography blog, but since this is the contact info my business cards had I'm gonna leave this here for everyone I met the other night!

I had such a great time talking with so many fans! It's always amazing to meet another "sister" who loves the same music you do.

I would love to trade pics with people, especially if anyone got any good ones of Taylor or Zac. I was on Isaac's side so that's who most of mine are of.

Here is video from the walk:

Here is "Great Divide" in the Vanderbilt bookstore after the walk:
