I know you’ve all been glued to your computers, just waiting for the follow-up to Anna Grace and Nate’s engagement session sneak peek. Well, today is your day! The wait is over! These guys were way too much fun … and completely crazy! I seriously can’t wait for their wedding in October!
So, together … you and I … we’re going to get them a wedding gift. Here’s how:
Simply leave them a comment either below or on my Facebook page telling them which image is your favorite and why (you don’t have to know them to leave them a little love). I’ve numbered the images below to make it easier to tell them which image you like (the number is above each photo). Each image you comment on gets counted.
Our gift to them will be a super cool 8×10 print wrap of the image that has the most comments by midnight (central time) this Sunday, May 20.
If, between the blog and my Facebook page, you guys can get 150 comments in that time, they’ll also receive a small book with ALL of these images.
Love you, Nate and Anna Grace! 
I hope you love these!
one …

Ah … love! Who doesn’t love love? I can tell you these two sure do! I told you in the last post that Anna Grace recently got engaged to Nate! Here’s a quick peek of their engagement session from Sunday. Check back in a couple of days for more of my favorites.
Anna Grace is one of my people! Other than my family, I believe she has seen the front of my lens more than anyone else. In fact, I’m not sure she would recognize me without the big black box in front of my face. 
If you remember, Anna Grace is a master fiddle player. I’ve photographed her for numerous album covers, promotional materials, recitals and even photographed her own family. We have a couple more shoots coming up very soon … she just got engaged … so we’re gearing up for an engagement session this weekend followed by a gorgeous bridal session (as soon as she finds a dress) and then big event to follow in October! So excited for you, AG!
So, most recently, Anna Grace performed her graduate recital at Belmont University, and of course I was there. Anna Grace is from Mississippi and chose to honor her southern roots in her final appearance at Belmont.
Her recital was held in the Belmont Mansion …
More details. Anna Grace’s mother and future mother-in-law provided a little Mississippi flavor for the festivities.
And finally, the recital … (oh, and the guy in the bottom center, who is smiling like he’s the luckiest guy in the room is Nate … the luckiest guy in the room! Congrats to you too, Nate!)

I enjoy slideshows (see the last post), but there’s something about being able to really look at the images one at a time, not rushed, that I simply love. So, because I couldn’t help myself, here are some of the favorites from London’s big Horton Hears a Who birthday party!
The details …
More details …
We didn’t have a typical birthday cake. We had cake pops instead … bites of candy-coated cake goodness on a stick! YUM!
The presents … or pwesnwents, as London would say …
Our amazing friends and family …
London enjoying more cake pops … post-party …
and MORE …
So, my favorite “small” person turned a whopping two years old a little over a week ago! While she may be small in stature, she’s humongous in personality and sweetness and cuteness!
Parents who have journeyed this path ahead of me have told me on so many occasions, “don’t blink, because they grow up way too fast!” I’m beginning to feel the weight and truth of their words! How is it possible, that in the span of just two years, this person … this tiny, yet humongous person … has managed to grab me by the heart with such a strong hold! And how are we in this thing called parenthood two years already? “Seems like just yesterday …” apparently, these are very common sentiments!
So, yes … my baby turned two! We had a party! A big party! We had almost 30 people in our house and our house isn’t huge … especially when you add all those people along with the already-existing two large dogs.
And Martha Stewart made an appearance (she took over my body a couple weeks). At first, I was giving myself a little grief for spending so much time and effort planning a birthday party for a TWO-YEAR-OLD! “Seriously, Jen … she’s TWO … she won’t remember.” But then I realized I can do whatever I want to celebrate her little life and the amazing, life-altering impact she’s made on her dad and me. And if that means losing a little sleep and a little time planned for other things and looking like I’m going a little over the top … well, so be it! Plus … we’ll have the pictures! Just because she’s small, doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve something big! Afterall, “A person’s a person, no matter how small!” – Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!
Here’s a super cool slideshow of some of the highlights of her day. I WILL be posting a collage or two of some of my favorites, but one thing at a time! (Oh, and fair warning … there’s music, so adjust your volume appropriately!)
Have I mentioned I adore this child?
