Carter West was born the Monday after Mothers Day, so I think it is safe to say he was the perfect Mother's Day gift.

I met Holly and Cody about 3 yours ago in a pretty random way. My family and I were looking to move back to the Nashville area from Hopkinsville,Ky when we saw the perfect house in the perfect location. It was 15 minutes from my husbands family and 1 mile from mine. It is in a great school zone and perfect distance from town. I believe that God places people in our lives at a particular time and place for a reason. So we went to look at this house and as we walked through we see photos of people we know. Kind of a weird feeling but we did a little digging ( searched Facebook) and found the connection. We went to high school with their sister in law. Cool huh? 

So fast forward 3 years almost on the dot and I get a message from Holly asking me about maternity and newborn photography. I was so ecstatic to be able to be apart of this milestone for their family. They were adding a little boy to complete their family of 5.

So this morning I gathered up my traveling studio and went out to Cody and Holly's new home to take some newborn photos of Carter and a few family images thrown in. Carter has 2 older sisters: Brooklyn and Alli , who love their new baby brother to pieces! I believe he will be well taken care of and looked after if its left up to these two sisters. LOL 

Y'all these images just exude joy and happiness! Is it stressful to take family photos? Yes Can you plan for everything ? No Can you go into it with an open mind and joy at the reason for the celebration ? Absolutely !! This is why I love coming to your home and capturing your family in their everyday environment. It is so rewarding for the parents to be as ease and be able to have everything they need. Plus these real life moments can't be beaten by posed flat images.
