Photo of the Week

November 12, 2010 by Jensey 14 Comments

This is my favorite photo of my Mom, ever. Ever, ever. She has fallen head over heels with a guy that’s down-right perfect for her. The past two years, she’s practically transformed into a 15 year old girl, all giddy and in love. Iake is sort of my someday-step dad and I love it, because no one has ever made my Mom smile like this. Thank you, Iake, for bringing out the Mom we all knew was in there- You each truly bring out the best in the other, and after 30 years of a marriage that wasn’t quite right, it’s about time for Mom to get the attention and love she’s always deserved.

Love you guys.

Sarah Bess + Dean = Everett

If you used to follow our old blog, surely you remember Everett! I absolutely could not have a “family month” without re-visiting a session with my favorite little boy in the world. My friend Sarah Bess was the first of my friends to have a baby. This session took place the very first time I met her little boy, Everett, and we photographed around the Indianapolis Airport. :)

Ev showed up with a gift for me, which he was kind enough to open. :)

I want to be just like Sarah Bess when I’m a mommy. Seriously. It makes me all teary-eyed when I think of how amazing she is with her son.

Now for a bit of brutal honesty: As badly as I want a family, I am *terrified* of having boys. Yes, this probably means God will grant me with all boys, but still. After a couple hours with this little guy, however, I can see how having a boy wouldn’t be the end of the world… I mean, seriously-

Nate is going to be the greatest Dad that ever lived. True story.

Sarah can make a game out of ANYTHING…

… But so can Everett. ;)

My favorite. Ever, ever, ever. I love you guys. :)

Everett was looking for bunnies. :)

Oh yeah- He totally loves me. Can’t you tell? ;)

Sarah Bess and Everett, our next visit can’t come soon enough! Love you guys. :)

Family Month

November 2, 2010 by Jensey 12 Comments

I’ve been holding out some really, really awesome sessions for the blog, and it’s finally time to unleash the wonderful-ness!

Whenever I think of November, I think of two things- Food and FAMILY! Since we’re not food photographers, I’m dubbing November “Family Month” on the blog! Yahoo! That means November will be packed-full with some really great family sessions we’ve captured this year, as well as a couple photos from our own families. Get excited! :)

In the past, we only allowed past couples to partake in family sessions. Now, we’re slowly opening the gates to the non-Root Photography families out there! Nathan and I still only shoot a very limited amount of family sessions a year. If you live in Orlando, Nashville, or the surrounding areas and would like to inquire about our availability for sessions, shoot us an email! We can’t wait to meet you. :)
