It was pretty chilly when we did this family session.  Thank goodness we both live close to the location so we could get warm again quickly!  Everyone was a trooper though, and we got done as soon as we could.  And look Mom, I even got a couple of smiles :)

This is the family of a photographer friend of mine.  She has such a fun, wonderful family, and I was so excited to photograph them as they passed through middle Tennessee.  Hope to see you again soon Carla!img_6522.jpg

The Young family asked me to them with some of their extended family today.  With 3 little boys we were all VERY busy, but what a fun group.  I hope you all like them!

I really love working with my playgroup families.  All of the moms in my group are so nice and great fun to be with.  There were a few who couldn’t make it last weekend, so I told them I could work in a session for them around another session I had scheduled.  Thanks for coming out ladies!

I had the opportunity to photograph the “B” family tonight, and they were a lot of fun.  Their son had the best red hair and blue eyes, and he was a busy little guy, but a lot of fun.

Thank you guys for a fun session!

Yesterday morning I had 5 mini-sessions lined up.  Back to back sessions like that are always so tiring, but it is so fun seeing all the kids, especially ones I’ve been photographing for the last couple of years!  Here is a sneak peak of my families.  I hope you all enjoy them!

If you have a group of at least 5 people who would like to set up mini-sessions, contact me at beth@bethvalentinephotography.com!  I’d be happy to put something together for you!

This family just added an adorable new member, and it needed to be commemorated.  He wasn’t too sure of me and my camera, but I managed to sneak in a few shots.  Thank you for letting me capture your family, and enjoy your beautiful children!

If you or someone you know is adopting, or has  adopted with the past few months, contact me about a special adoption session to commemorate the beginning of their new family.

Sometimes the stars align…

Last weekend my daughter came home from college for the long weekend.  I decided to take advantage of this time, and try to get some pictures of my 3 children together.  With her not being home all the time now, I figured I better try while I can, because I know how these things can go.

Now, you have to understand, that just because I can take beautiful pictures of other people’s children, that doesn’t mean it always works in my family.   Please refer to my November 2007 post of trying to get pictures for Christmas cards to see what I mean.

I set my expectations low, planning on the fact that my son would say he was going to cooperate, then change his mind.

Well, the stars aligned, and God smiled down, and I got my pictures.  Not only one day, but TWO!!

Since it was such a momentous occasion, I just had to share with you all.

But first, as you can see, it still never exactly goes smoothly…

A great family at the end of the day

I have photographed this little guy and his mom and dad a couple of times, but this time he had visitors and everyone got into the game.  It was a fun session, finding creative ways to get him to cooperate with the pictures.  I hope everyone has a safe trip back home.

Two beautiful girls to start my day

Little Miss L and Miss A started off a busy day for me.  Miss A just found her walking legs, and kept trying to use them on the uneven ground, without much success.  Miss L was very patient and a wonderful model for me.  They are both precious and I look forward to doing their family pictures this fall!
