First Birthday!

I met the most welcoming Indian family the other day for a birthday party in The Gulch, Nashville. Their beautiful little girl is now one year old. Happy birthday little one!

Birthdays are a lot of fun to photograph because the attention is all on one person, but everyone there usually cares about them so there are plenty of tender-hearted moments. Grandparents play with children and, and kids get messy with cake, there are decorations and a theme and candles. It all adds up to a lot of fun for everyone, and that's the best time to take pictures!

Chocolate-Strawberry Birthday Candles

This little lady had a strawberry cake...
It was not just strawberry flavored, but a giant strawberry dipped in chocolate for her birthday!
Happy Birthday, K!

Family and friends

It was such a joy to photograph these friends in early fall at the Ellington Agricultural Center in Nashville. We made a picnic out of it and had a great time... But my favorites are the tender, peaceful moments...

Getting boys to want a picture taken is somewhat like asking them not to be boys! But get them talking about something they love and they might just be willing to relax just long enough.
