OUR TATER TURNED ONE!!

Cynthia Tenney August 30, 2015

I don't even know where to begin here; I am so full of emotions. I just can't believe OUR baby girl is ONE!! I continue to ask myself where the time went? How did it go so fast? Did I capture every memory? Did I tell her how perfect she is every day? There are so many that I will always ask to myself.

All in her first year, we went to the Zoo, traveled to South Carolina, visited Disney World and so much more!! I have to keep reminding myself we did so much and she is one lucky girl!! She has so many family and friends that LOVE and adore her and one set of parents that are crazy about her!! When people say, "don't blink"; they weren't kidding!!

To honor my baby girl for her birthday, I felt there was no other way than to celebrate ICE CREAM style. We started it out by having the fabulous Trisha Sheehan with Trisha Sheehan Photography have the perfect scene set up for that! We even had to reenact Tatum's Tater Tot scene; that was a must!! Check her out; She is amazing!!

Then I had to get pictures of her doing some kind of cake smash; partially because I wanted to see how she was going do and mostly because I HAVE to make all the memories I can with my sweets! So Chris and I set up shop to do so right outside of our house and it couldn't have been more perfect! She had a blast!!

Then off to the most FUN part!! Mommy has been planning this party for what it seems like 6 months and all the wait was over. All I wanted was everyone to have fun and fill their tummy's with sweet treats; and for all the babes to play and giggle! And they did just that; I had an ICE CREAM bar set up as a thank you for coming and we had all age ranges of kids! There was always someone to play with. I want to thank the beautiful Briana Macon with Macon Photography for capturing our Tater's First Birthday; you are always there for us and we love you so much!! I also want to thank April Foster with Paper Dolls Design for making the sweetest Thank You to-go stickers along with other treats as well!! Also, Susan Wiseman Hopkins for making the prettiest, tastiest cupcakes!! You're all amazing!!

Thank you so much to everyone who came and celebrated OUR GIRL and loving her unconditionally as well!! You will never know how much we truly appreciate you ALL!!

Williams Family

Cynthia Tenney August 27, 2015

This family has such a heart of gold! I have known Nicole for quite some time now; I grew up with her sweet sister Heather. And Nicole is another rock star mom in charge of a rowdy bunch. :)

Her and Sean are so adorable and I was so happy when Sean finally caved in and let me do a family session with them! We all know pictures are not a man's favorite thing to do, but he stuck through it like a trooper and had himself even a little fun. :)

Sean and Nicole have the two most ambitious children I have ever seen!! Jaden and Rhiley are so sweet and fun loving, they were a blast to capture. Jaden is more reserved versus Rhiley who is able tell anyone how it is; that baby girl is a fire cracker!! We all think she will be the one defending her older brother in the future. All that toughness is locked inside a sweet, innocent looking girl with a charming heart! That big brother of hers sure does have a lot to TRY to protect!!

By the looks of all this fun they are having, don't you just want to squeeze them all??

Snodgrass Family~ Baby Announcement

Cynthia Tenney August 13, 2015

Ohhh boy!! You have no idea how excited I was when Mary reached out to me and told me her and Brandon were expecting another little, precious gift here in the upcoming months. I was floored with excitement for them. Sure it's going to be hard at first, but little baby S will be the perfect best friend to his or her's adorable big sis!!

Adrianna is going to be the best big sis!! And she just loves the camera; she will have no problem keeping baby brother or sister entertained.

I have known Brandon and Mary since Grade school and those two are something else together. They are the perfect combination together; Brandon is always cracking jokes and making it hard for Mary not to smile. You can see below just how giddy they were with one another and how excited they were that they were about to announce the next amazing gift that was about to REALLY change them all for the better!! I can't wait to meet Baby S - Snodgrass family!!! He or She will be here before we all know it, but until then we will celebrate Adrianna turning 1 next month and spend our days talking to that sweet baby bump!!

Congratulations Brandon, Mary and Adrianna!!

Courtney & Anthony ~ Engaged

Cynthia Tenney August 5, 2015

I CANNOT wait for these two and their October Nuptials. A Fall wedding on the beach? Please oh please!! I am totally in love with that idea and I can't wait to see Courtney & Anthony seal the deal!!

Anthony was super precious during their engagement session; he constantly kept telling Courtney, "you are so pretty, I can't stop staring at you." It melted my heart!!

During their session we had the most beautiful cotton candied skies and not to mention there was not a soul on the beach! My kind of setting right there. :)

The whole session was filled with laughter and jokes as we were picturing what the big day was going to be like. The both of them kept saying was it's going to get crazy, our whole family and friends love to "get down." Courtney dabbles in Photography as well, so I was honored when she asked me to be apart of the big day!! Stay tuned for an awesome blog post come October, they promised me FUN!! :) Congratulations Courtney and Anthony, I can't wait to celebrate with you two!!

Carmella & Austin ~ Married

Cynthia Tenney August 3, 2015

This wedding right here was so perfect!! It was sweet and intimate and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Carmella & Austin were so sweet to one another and both of their families were just as welcoming!

I grew up with Carmella's sister Katrina who also happens to be a fabulous wedding planner with Cherry Blossom Wedding Factory!! So what do you get when you have a sister as a wedding planner? A stunning wedding full of details! Talk about swoon!!!

It was the sweetest story of how this wedding all panned out. Carmella's Grandmother was coming into town and it is not always the easiest to have her travel in and out for events, so they threw a wedding in 6 weeks!! How in the world?! Boy, did it look like it took 6 months or more to plan though! The ceremony was intimate with just those that are close with Austin and Carmella; even Carmella's Uncle who is the 1st in line waiting for a Heart transplant at a nearby Hospital was there; Thank the lord for Facetime! :)

We even had time to go Red Wing Park so we could take couples portraits (thank you Katrina for giving me that extra time) where I just couldn't get enough of them! They were all kinds of adorable!! We then ended with the most perfect backyard wedding I had ever seen!

Thank you to the Currie and Nestor family for making me feel right at home and congratulations Austin and Carmella! I wish you both many years of happiness. :)
