Maryville Portrait Photography - The Eldridge Family

Up today we have another awesome family session to see! Meet the Eldridge family. We photographed Karen and Mark's wedding in 2000! They were one of our very first weddings as Hope Photography! Now, they have grown into a beautiful family with two very rambunctious boys!

See?! What a great looking family!

Tickle fight!

So, THIS is how you get someone to smile!

A little love for mom and for dad.

Brothers.

A couple of good looking' guys!

Getting ready for Christmas!

Love this one!

This one and the next two kinda make me glad that we have girls! ;)

How does he do that?!!

I honestly have NO idea!

Still got it after all these years!

Thank you so much Eldridge family! It was great hanging out with you guys!

Maryville Portrait Photography - The Boles Family

We are really working hard to get these fall sessions out to you! Up today, meet the Boles family. This is another family that is pretty special to us. Ginny (mom), is Maddie's Vice Principal at school and we adore her. James (the middle son) was in Maddie's Kindergarten class last year and he and Maddie became good friends.

Aren't these some good looking' kids?!

Brothers!

Ben couldn't quite figure out the hat!

Sydney is so pretty!

Sometimes it can be tough getting two boys to pose, but these guys made it look easy!

Such a great looking family!

Love it when clients want to climb trees!

Still trying to get that hat to work right!

You sure can't tell by these photos that it was crazy dark and super cold during this session can you?!

This pose was all James' idea!

Daughters can be so sweet.

Thank you Boles family! We had a great time with you guys despite the insane weather!

Maryville Portrait Photography - Lila is One!

Sweet little Lila makes another appearance on our blog today. She recently turned one and is just as precious and beautiful as ever. It's been amazing watching her grow this year (see her last session here). And at the end of the session, her cousin Annagrace (who we photographed last month, joined us for some fall photos. It was such a fun session!

Such a cutie!
I should sell this one to Radio Flyer.
The ingenuity of a one-year-old.
What a beauty.
This is how we prevent eyes being gouged.
She loves standing and walking now.
Mom and Dad hopped in for a couple.
It's always nice seeing our wedding couples grow into families.
Baby steps.
Welcome Annagrace to the session!
Lila: "Here. Have this leaf."

Annagrace: "No thanks. I want that bow!"
"Why are you so happy?"
Lila: "Can you believe they're going to make us sit in here?"

Annagrace: "Seriously?"
Annagrace: "This isn't so bad! It's like a roller coaster! Wheeee!!!"

Lila: "I hate roller coasters!"
Lila: "Let's just make silly faces. They'll get us out of here faster!"
Lila: "That's it! I'm breaking out!! I can't take it any more!!"

Annagrace: "I think I'm getting a case of Pumpkin Butt."
"Mommy, I'll give you this bow if you get me out of this pumpkin!"
I know. I'm crazy. Forgive the silly commentary. I couldn't help it. Those pumpkin photos crack me up.

Thank you Lila! Congratulations on being a one year old!! And thanks for hanging out Annagrace. :)

Maryville Portrait Photography - Ava at 6 months

There are happy babies, and then there are HAPPY babies. Ava is 6 months now (we did her newborn photos too) and she is one of the smilingest (new word) babies we've ever photographed. :)


To tell you the truth, it was her grandma singing over my shoulder that got these grins every time.

A star has to have her handlers off to the side.
That face!
Mmm… beads. It's what's for dinner.
Okay, one of her not smiling just to prove she has a serious side.

See? Happy baby! We love happy babies! Thank you Ava!
