Nico and Lala | Nashville Product Photographer

I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with entrepreneurs Nicole Speake and Lauren Staley of Nico and Lala, a Nashville-based design company that creates custom-designed invitations, paper products and a whole line of gift items. Not only are these girls full of personality and business savvy, but their lucite products are absolutely incredible! Don't take my word for it - take a look for yourself:

The magnetic lucite picture frame below is actually being featured on the Today Show Monday morning during Kathie Lee & Hoda's hour of the show. The frame is double-sided so you can customize it with a photo on one side and your favorite print on the other, or even put two photos in the same frame. For all you brides out there, this makes the perfect bridesmaid gift!

My absolute favorite products from Nico and Lala are their reversible serving trays. The design inserts are double-sided, so you can pick two different patterns and change the look around whenever you need to. They're so versatile!

Oh, and did I mention that they also have a holiday pack of reversible inserts so you can truly customize your tray for every holiday?

Nico and Lala's other products include the ice bucket pictured in one of the photos above, pencil/make-up brush holders, square catch-alls, wine chillers and salt and pepper shakers.

So head on over to www.nicoandlala.com and check out their stuff - especially their unbelievable invitation designs. Oh, and don't forget to watch them on Monday on the Today Show!

Graham | Spring Hill Childrens Photographer

The first time I photographed Graham was during Nick and Julie's maternity session and it's been so fun watching him grow over the past year. What a sweet little boy he's turned out to be! We recently got together for a quick one-year session and I love how everything turned out.

 

Nick and Julie picked up this awesome chair for Graham's birthday from Pottery Barn Kids. Isn't it just so adorable? I love the colors Julie picked out and Graham has a blast climbing all over it.

The Radio Flyer below was another birthday gift for Graham. We took it outside for a test run in the backyard.

Nick and Julie, thank you so much for allowing me to be a big part of Graham's first year. It's been a joy and an honor to share this with you!

Check out the photos from Graham's other sessions during the past year:

The Edwards Kids | Franklin Childrens Photographer

The Edwards kids are no strangers to my blog. And I love that fact. Every time I spend a few hours shooting them, my world just gets a little bit brighter. Their beautiful faces, genuine laughter, shining personalities and a strong bond between siblings; it's a household I'm honored to be a part of, if just for a day, every now and then.

As always, Janelle and Craig - it's truly an honor to photograph your beautiful children!

Erika and Corey | Jamaica Destination Wedding Photographer

As many of you know, I had an incredible opportunity to shoot a wedding while I was in Jamaica in May. Erika and Corey's beautiful, intimate wedding was held at the Iberostar Rose Hall Suites Hotel in Montego Bay. The weather was absolutely perfect for their sunset ceremony and every detail was completely taken care of by the resort staff.

The evening was one filled with so much joy and emotion. Through tears and laughter, Erika and Corey stood before their closest friends and family and said their vows to one another. And once they were pronounced husband and wife, the celebration instantly began. Two people, most certainly in love, and one of the world's most romantic locations. It really doesn't get any better than this.

Congratulations, Erika and Corey!
