i can’t tell you how bad i wanted to shoot a pregnant belly session when i drove by and spotted “Your Mama’s” drive thru! of course it had to be the right mama, with an appreciation for my sarcasm. seemed like i had to wait forever, but finally the call came and Heather was my girl.
it’s really fun to watch a couple go from dating, to old married couple 
to expectant parents full of excitement and anticipation.
heather’s totally gonna be a {BD} hot mom huh?
i’m kind of a big fan of the mcguffeys, more so each time i’m around them. they pulled off the serious shots quite well. but truth be told, we were making jokes and laughing the majority of the time {which makes for a great work day} and most of it was at each other’s expense {which makes me all kinds of comfortable and happy}

oh, and with all the fun we had with Heather, i thought it was only fair to hit up “Big Daddy’s” for Dan 
so excited to meet your beautiful little girl… check back in a few months to see her images and find out what they decide to name ms.{hadley, summer, harper, tyler, ivey, brooke} mcguffey
having sunflowers this shoot was a very important request, which led me on a wild goose chase for a few weeks. i had a great patch last year to use, but this year apparently the wacky ohio weather pushed things back for farmers. lemons to lemonade though… it led me to find this awesome new location which had a hidden early patch and we had a great time exploring lots of stuff there. only a fraction of it made it to the blog- i have the hardest time narrowing down my faves.
meadow was WAY into all the farm animals. i couldn’t believe how up close and friendly she got. they are so fearless before they turn two aren’t they?! we also met the most adorable calf ever that made sarah and i turn vegetarian for the day 
she found it important to show us her belly 
it’s really such an honor to be involved in her life this way, capturing memories from each stage and trying to tell the story of who she is for that brief moment. i get to see Meadow a few times a year and i can’t tell you how my heart swells to hear her say my name now-to see her grow leaps and bounds- to get a text from her mama on a wednesday evening that says:
we spent the holiday with a bunch of friends at the purple boulder farm in morrow. it was the perfect opportunity to debut BDphotography’s newest offering- The Phunbooth
nice brad pitt goatee 
mary katherine gallagher anyone?? “sometimes when i get nervous…” 
silly bandz immortalized! he’s showing off the first egg hatched on the farm
Terra was spoiled, and all the girls are crawling over each other to be the next one married off- both for the happily ever after, but also for the “all about me” day! that’s not to say that they didn’t each get a quick hop into the spotlight during the shoot though. seemed that everyone was ready for their closeup. we had a blast.
a little stop at Tiffany’s was a must of course. Terra received a little somethin’ special in a light blue bag 
so this is their southern little family
i asked Tyler to find the seat that matched his age. he insisted on this #10 and tried to convince me that he’s way cooler than 9 already, even though his official 10th birthday is not until October. 
we had a great time exploring downtown Knoxville. i love how each city has unique local treasures. there were some awesome sculptures and shops {still wish i had bought those sweet jeans @ bliss in the market square, darn my consumer practicality!} we even found a veteran’s memorial site which was perfect since it was Memorial Day.
we planned the awesome theme of “Naked Cowboy on Times Square” and headed to downtown Cincinnati…
G preferred the “Splash Bridgette and Run Away Before She Tickles You” theme
we both ended up wet 
nothing like precious wet baby eyelashes to remind me of that.
after we all took our turn singing for pennies, and Gavin had tortured the pigeons enough, we decided check out a few of my other favorite locations
our fun day out and this resulting shot will stay strong in my memories.
stay tuned… it will be my honor to follow Gavin and Hayes{Gavin 2.0} as they grow into little men. {fun fact} Hayes was the baby incubating in my popular boy inside image seen 
a little mary poppins action 
she looks like that iconic cloud that blows out wind. does he have a title? 
supermom anyone? 
aside from being gorgeous, an amazing friend, sunday school leader, and wifey, tara is the mom of three lucky blonde girls.
oh and you might not guess it from first seeing her at your PTA meeting, but she’s one of the silliest chicks you’ll ever have the pleasure of hanging out with. 
i love that halie & kyle remind us that you can celebrate all sorts of life’s milestones with a photo shoot.
halie wanted some personal art for their first home together 
um, i just think this is the most romantic spot ever. i feel like i’m watching a nicholas sparks movie every time i look at at this pic
“…love, I’ve come to understand is more than three words mumbled before bedtime.” -Nicholas Sparks
this is actually Kyle’s family land. i can just imagine their grandkids sitting in this same spot, enjoying this image 
wow, i’m getting way too sentimental. they are still just adorable young kids themselves right?
when i first met kyle, he looked so familiar. “who do people say is your celebrity twin?” i asked. “people always say i look like a white Will Smith.” 
casey now has three girls to call her mom!
and brock… well he’s just got his hands full… of sugar and spice and everything drama i bet for a full 18 years at least
seriously, their story is my very fave of 2009. so it goes something like this:
and here is her cute little family
Judi: congratulations again. happy to hear that i will be seeing you soon for a very special shoot to celebrate your even newer “creation”
