Bethany Ann Photography – Nashville, Tennessee Wedding & Portrait Photographer » Southern Weddings & Portraits

Hello, again! Why not share another session this evening? :) For this session, Alicia wanted to surprise her parent’s with a photo shoot featuring her parent’s favorite people, their children, of course! We took these images last fall when the colors of the leaves were still bright and lively. Since Alicia, Sara, & Alan gave their parent’s prints from the session as Christmas presents, I couldn’t post any images until now. We had SO much fun laughing and capturing these. These three are energetic & entertaining. It was so refreshing and they had so many ideas for photos. I loved it! I especially love the leaf throwing images at the end. ;)

Have a great night,

Bethany

Did I ever tell you about that time my GPS took me down an old road that ran through a creek? Yeah, I didn’t think I did. Well, this one time, on my way to photograph an engagement session, my GPS took me down an old road that ran through a creek! LOL I had been to Samantha’s family’s farm twice before. Once for the Dani. B. Couture photo shoot, and the second time for Danielle & Adam’s engagement shoot. And this time? Well, this time it was Samantha’s turn! So, you see, I had been there before. However, I didn’t take the same route I did the previous two times. I thought, well, my GPS will get me there. So, I followed it along and the road turned into a one lane gravel road with trees lining both sides and then, I see water. Ahh, yes, this is the back way to the farm. I remember this creek because I photographed Danielle & Adam in there and watched a few cars drive through it to the other side. I thought, “Wow, I don’t ever want to do that!” because I was fearful of my car getting stuck. However, I had no other choice when I figured out that’s where I was on the day of Samantha & Josh’s engagement session. I had to go through it. I had no cell service and I literally couldn’t turn around. So, I said a prayer and maneuvered my car into and through the creek to the other side. Thankfully, the creek wasn’t that high, but still. I was so worried I was going to get stuck! Samantha & Josh were happy when I finally showed up at the house; they were worried because they couldn’t get a hold of me since I was running behind. Whew, that was an experience and now, I know to always Google MAP a location AND THEN trust the GPS.

Anyway, Samantha and I go way back. Way back to elementary school! She was one of my very best friends in elementary school and I remember playing on the basketball team with her. :) And now she’s getting married! So excited for her. Josh is totally the match for her, too. I had met him once before at Danielle & Adam’s wedding in June, but this time I got to find out what a nice guy he is. It is wonderful to see Samantha so happy and in love! We captured these images around the farm and went back to the creek I drove through for a few more images. Enjoy! :)

Have a great night!

I didn’t watch the Superbowl, but I had a great weekend! Yesterday, February 5th was the 5 year anniversary of my very first date with Rick. He cooked breakfast for dinner for me and went grocery shopping with me while the rest of the world watched the Superbowl. I loved how empty Wal-Mart was during that time! :) Overall, it was the kind of weekend where relaxation was definitely a priority. I love those kind of weekends. :) I hope you guys had a nice weekend, as well.

I remember this session vividly because it was one of the earliest morning sessions I had last year. It was pretty much the only time all of our schedules aligned perfectly, and it just happened to be super foggy that morning. However, it worked to our advantage. I definitely want to have another session with the fog. It was so romantic and dream-like. :) Melissa & April purchased the photo shoot for their mom as a Christmas present in 2010. Despite the cold, we had such a lovely morning laughing and getting to know each other.

I just couldn’t help but add some scenery photos in here too. :) And I added a few more on their slideshow. Click HERE to view it. :)
