Eskimo Quinn Visits Nashville Part I

September 5, 2013 by Jensey 5 Comments

Eskimo Quinn week continues on the blog! We just finished spending four blissful weeks with this sweet face. Before I share some of those photos, here are my favorites from his trip to see us in Nashville this April! :)

I’ve been asked a few times why I call him “Eskimo Quinn,” and it’s because of this song:

True story : I bought a ton of baby toys for his visit and all he did was eat the box they came in. :)

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite. :)

My brother is pretty much an expert at everything. And no, I’m not just saying that because he’s my big brother- He really knows pretty much everything. Nate was over the moon to have someone show him how to build shelves in our garage! I really should post a photo of the “after” because I’ve never seen more beautiful shelves in my life, but I sorta forgot.

Excited Nate and our faithful Pippi in the background. :)

We hear all the time from friends that their dogs want nothing to do with their babies- We kinda have the opposite problem with Huck!

Baby’s first trip to Pancake Pantry! <3

I don’t know what’s going on in this top photo, but I love the family resemblance in the next two frames. ;)

Mom and Iake came up to visit, too! :)

Oh, Huck. :/

I’m still so thankful we got to be a part of Quinn’s first visit to the zoo! And baby Kinley’s too technically, I suppose!

Another favorite. :)

My heart!!!!!!! <3

Quinn’s first ride!!!

Come back tomorrow for part two! <3

Sarah + Christopher : Nashville Backyard Wedding Part II

August 20, 2013 by Jensey 3 Comments

Continued from Sarah and Christopher’s Wedding Part I. <3

Sarah’s mom did an incredible job on the wedding floral- Look at that bouquet!

The buffet stations were set up in the garage. :)

The band at Sarah’s wedding was the best bluegrass band we’ve ever heard. Imagine our surprise when I asked this man for their card and he tells me they’re not actually a band- Just friends that love to play together. He’s a friend of Sarah’s family… And a dentist. :)

Favorite- Sarah’s father / daughter dance. :)

Sarah’s mom had some fun with Nate and the mustaches. ;)

Sarah and Christopher, we can’t thank y’all enough for letting us be your wedding photographers!!

Maevy + Carter : Nashville Family Session in Centennial Park

June 25, 2013 by Jensey 3 Comments

Remember yesterday how I told you about my love for Robyn in her engagement session post? Well, the love fest for this sweet family continues, with a family session we photographed in Centennial Park here in Nashville. This is Robyn’s beautiful sister Amy’s family.

Even though I’m pretty sure I only remember meeting Amy a couple times in high school, I’ve been a blog stalker of hers for a few years now. Amy writes one of my favorite blogs I follow called “March Forth with Maevy.” Maevy is Amy’s vivacious four year old, and Amy’s blog posts are all written to her. I would LOVE to have something like this to look back on as an adult! I followed Amy’s blog in my reader for a while, but it wasn’t until she wrote about Maevy’s first time watching The Wizard of Oz that I was truly hooked. I’ve become such a Maevy fan that I’m pretty sure when we photographed Robyn and Jake’s engagement session around Nashville, I spent more time asking about Amy’s family than them!

My favorite Maevy posts in no particular order, which you can read by clicking the descriptions below :

– The time she watched The Wizard of Oz and cried real tears, constantly worried about Toto.
– The time Maevy (correctly) insisted Tink was a light, and Jasmine shouldn’t show her tummy.
– The time Amy and Ryan told Maevy she was going to be a big sister.
– So Call Me Maevy!

A little over a year ago, Maevy became a big sister to the equally adorable Carter (Not to leave little Carter in the dust- I only recently realized I hadn’t been following along with Catching Carter, Amy’s blog for all things Carter!)

Enough fawning over these cute kiddos- On to the photos! First off, probably my favorite family portrait of the year.

Carter following a trail of Cheerios, a la E.T. :)Too. Much. Cute.
Nate loved having someone to climb trees with on a photo shoot! Thank you, Maevy. :):)Maevy wowed us with her kitten impression (left) before letting me know with one look that it was time for a potty break. ;)Maevy, Carter, Amy, and Ryan, thank you for the fun time! We can’t wait to see y’all this fall! :)
