bradley & rebecca get a little saucy!! - knoxville area photography

alrighty folks.... another night of catching up for me!  i can finally start posting images from our holiday sessions since they've all received their cards and things to send out!  :)

brad and becca are wonderful friends of ours and sadly live about 4 hours away.  so when they come to visit or we travel together we have soooooo much fun.  there are usually very competitive games and LOTS of laughing.

as you'll see below, they are one snazzy lookin' couple so we LOVE to photograph them!!!  in fact, their wedding was actually the very first wedding we ever photographed!  their last visit to knoxville included a holiday session... which turned into a full session... which got a little risque!!!  and i LOVED it!  haha.


as a matter of fact, i kept encouraging them to kiss and stare into each others eyes and hug and hold hands and on and on... we said it jokingly but now i believe it to be true that when a couple has a session with b real photo it can be GREAT for the marriage/relationship!  so if you need some good quality time together as a couple, book a session with us!  ;)  it's like couples therapy and photos all in one!


brad and becca remind me so much of shawn and i... they totally crack each other up and obviously have a lot of chemistry together.

anyway, i hope you enjoy some of my favorite images from that day!

king family portraits - knoxville photography


now that i'm done editing holiday sessions it's time to finish up some other projects and sessions.  so i'm finally starting to catch up on blogs here!  so here it goes...



every so often i like to try new places for our sessions… and this just happened to be one of those days!


it was perfect timing, since {quentin} (aka, lil q man) was turning 1 year old!  we met up in {world’s fair park} so we could get some outdoor images but unfortunately the weather was not so pretty.  it was a pretty cloudy day which can be good for lighting, but not so good for pretty blue sky backgrounds!  :\


nevertheless we made it work and the results are amazing!!!!  probably some of my favorite family pictures EVER!



 


i love this little guy!!!!!  now look how excited he was to be given the remote!  i guess it’s the simple things in life that make us this happy sometimes.




then we actually met again on another (thankfully sunny) day at the family farm to test out the ol’ barn… and boy was i happy with those too!!!  :)


 


 


and in case you hadn't noticed... for some reason i just love playing with sun flares in my images.  depending on the image, it can add some edge or even romance.


 


i hope to be taking pictures of this lil’ guy for many years to come!  (ya hear that trent & valerie!!?)

b real photo participates in images for a cure – knoxville area photography

as most of you know we participated in {images for a cure} about a month ago.  we had two sessions that day... it was so much fun and I was exhausted by the time we got home!

we were able to give $100 toward the cause and hope to give 5 times that next year!  collectively, all the participating photographers were able to generate over $12,000!!!!

our first session was with our friend whitney and her family.  they were so funny and I had so much fun doing their family portraits.  here are a couple of my favs…



 

 



our second session was with crissy and her fiancĂ© (now hubby!) john.  it was really important to crissy to participate in this event since a very close friend of hers was taken by breast cancer.  so I wanted to make the session special for them as well.  since their wedding was only a couple weeks away I used the opportunity to do their engagement photos.  the results were amazing…



 

 

 

 

 



the great news is that images for a cure will be an annual event!  we are so excited to be a part of this!!

mark your calendars for next year... once the day (in october) is announced we will post this on our websites and blog.  100% of the session fees of the specified day will go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.  details on this year’s can be found {here}.  who knows what we’ll come up with next year!

senior portraits – anderson county high school - clinton area photography

so if you live anywhere near knoxville, you are probably over the rain.  I know I am!!

I’d scheduled a senior session with a sweet young lady and we had to keep rescheduling because of the weather.  so, as the wonderful marine corps taught me so well… I was ready to adapt and overcome!  haha.  so I came up with some brilliant ideas to do in the rain!  I was so excited.

finally we decided to move forward despite the weather, but she ended up being scheduled to work!!!  argh!!  but being the winner she is, she arranged to take an extended break for us to do a mini session.  we even had her mom keeping us updated on time… “15 more minutes!”… “5 more minutes!”…

I literally snapped pictures until the last minute and we were on our way!  it was probably the most rushed session I’ve ever had but the results are incredible.  obviously esther is photogenic and her sweet personality shows in her images.

hope you enjoy…




 

 

 

 


thanks esther for going out of your way to make this happen!!!  :)

pink saturday with b real photo - knoxville area event photography


as you know i was privileged to photograph the {Pink Saturday} event a few weeks ago.  this was a great way to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month!

the event was put together by the Franklin Square Merchants Association as a way for every business in Franklin Square to participate in bringing awareness and raising money for both the Knoxville affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Cathy L. Hodges Memorial Cancer Foundation.
 
i literally had sessions before and after the event that day so i dropped by for a couple hours.  it was great meeting all the folks that were generous enough to donate their time, money, and efforts.

we also donated a free session that was given away in the drawing.  looking forward to doing that as well!  :)

below are just a few images from that day... thankfully the rain held out for us!



 

 

 

 

 

 

 



i'll be sure to keep you updated on any events like these that we know learn about or are participating in so keep a close eye on our blog!

if you have a charity or fundraiser event that could use our services or a donation for drawings, raffles, or auctions, please do not hesitate to contact us.  while we cannot participate in every event we are happy to help where we can!

justin + stacy - b real photo - powell area photography


meet justin + stacy.

stacy is a long time friend of my husband's and after we moved to tennessee a year ago we ran into them at walmart, only to discover justin + stacy live only a mile from us!!! furthermore, stacy goes to the same gym as us! i love these "small world" scenarios! :)

we photographed justin + stacy at this abandoned building and cute little downtown area i just love. i think it reminds me of home somehow.

what is neat about this couple is to see the dynamic between them. stacy is definitely the outspoken, energetic, adventurous type while justin is a little more quiet and laid back.

stacy would probably win the award among my clients for having the most ideas for poses. it was hilarious... she even attempted to climb a tree. needless to say, we had a lot of fun that day.

even ended it with our favorite chinese restaurant. doesn't get much better than that! i have a new found love for a certain noodle on the buffet there. haha.
so i'll share some of my favorite iamges from the day with you... enjoy!
