Richmond family

 We took advantage of the fall colors and the nearby creek to get some fun family photos of this energetic family.

 And this is how it ended.  I think they were glad to be finished with me.

 If you happen to need a real estate agent in the Chattanooga area call Mark Richmond, he's fantastic!

Melissa, Senior Portraits (+sisters)

 Beautiful Melissa is a mountain girl at heart so she wanted to get out into the wilderness for her senior portraits.  She didn't bat an eye when I asked her to sit in the prickly grass.

 And we had to get some fun photos with these three sweet sisters too.  It's nice to see siblings that enjoy each other like these girls.

Beautiful light during a brief break between the rains and snow with Kiri

I couldn't have asked for more lovely light for my first shoot back after having little Peter.

 Beautiful Kiri teaches children and adults how to have peaceful resolutions to their problems through Peacekeeper Circles. 

Hapner Family in the Fall

 A beautiful October day at City Park with this fun family. 

 So much sibling love!

Haynes Family

 Stella and Cole have grown so much since I photographed them last year!  We enjoyed some time outside in the lovely fall weather eating tomatoes out of their first garden, riding bikes and cars, and playing in the backyard.

Senior Portraits. Dustin

 We headed off into the Red Fox Meadows to capture a bit of fall color for Dustin's portraits.  Although there was still a good amount of green we did manage to find a splash here and there of red and gold.

 Just in case you think Dustin was taking this too seriously, these will give you a bit of incite into the mood of our morning.  

My direction, "look over there like you see someone you know."

"Find something to hold so that your hands don't feel awkward."

 "Open your eyes a bit wider."

 Needless to say, there was a good amount of laughing happening.
