Welcome Kennedy!

There were many blessings that came from my two years working at Harmony Adoptions but one of the best was the friendships I walked away with. In early April one of those friends had a beautiful baby girl, Kennedy Elizabeth. Lisa, Kennedy’s mom, just happens to be a fabulous photographer so I was especially flattered, and slightly nervous, when she asked me to take a few pictures when I came to visit them in the hospital. Here are a few pictures from that visit. Could she be more beautiful?

I love the Knoxville Botanical Gardens; the foliage is beautiful and the atmosphere is always very peaceful. With that said, you can only imagine my surprise when I arrived at this photo shoot to find that half of Knoxville was also in attendance. Apparently, the Dogwood Art’s Festival is held here each year and our photo shoot just happened to fall on that weekend. Jimmy, Kathy, and Layla were so patient and such a fun family to work with. This was my second time working with them as two years ago I had the honor of taking pictures of Jimmy and Kathy on their wedding day. This session was for Layla, in celebration of her first birthday. Layla is such a sweet little girl with a beautiful smile; she definitely made this photo shoot very easy!

Just a few of my favorites :)
