Bigger IS Better! – Nashville, TN Family Photographer

As I’ve mentioned on here a few times, I recently quit my “real” job.  One of my main goals after quitting was to start running / working out again.  As my business has grown, and my free time diminished, I totally stopped exercising, which has made me so unhappy (and fat)!!!  I decided I wouldn’t really hold myself too accountable until after New Year’s because I knew I’d be super busy until after then.  But, I’ve made it to the gym a few times since quitting, and yesterday I got my best workout yet.  Yesterday, I was tasked with photographing this group of 30 or so!  It went so much better than I could’ve ever imagined, but it was definitely a workout!  I wore my brand new Fryes, which was not a smart move, I locked my keys in the car when I got there, but it was great nonetheless!  However,  I was TOTALLY exhausted last night, and couldn’t figure out why for the longest!  And, while it may appear that I’ve officially moved into the Opryland Hotel, that is not the case – promise.  It just so happens that 3 clients in a row had the same idea, and I obliged :)!

We started out with smaller family groupings while we waited for everyone to arrive.

This was all for them – a Christmas surprise!

 I know I’ve said it before, but I LOVE redheads!!

You may recognize some of these faces if you’ve been following me for awhile.  I photographed some of them along with another side of the family back in April.  They are still some of my favorite images, and one of these beautiful girls appears in my blog header & on some of my business cards.  I was excited to see how much they’ve grown and was surprised that little Lola now has a little redhead too – so so sweet!!

These kiddos have changed a TON too since our last meeting!  Little Belle is now walking everywhere, and these 2 boys are looking SO much older!  It’s amazing how much they can change in 8 months!!!  Cooper even pulled a tooth out mid-session and happily showed off his new gap!

These sweet girlies all had matching dresses!  Love it!

And a couple different shots of the WHOLE crew!  This is by far the most people I’ve ever photographed at one time!

  It was great seeing / meeting you guys yesterday!  Thank you all for being so patient & cooperative!  I couldn’t have asked for any better!  Hope you love them!!
