I love being able to photograph my friends! It's one of my favorite things. I especially love capturing their relationships and ones that I respect so much. Amanda & Kevan, and I set out on one of the first hot spring days this year to Amanda's Grandfather's land to take some awesome couples portraits.

Amanda's Grandfather has an amazing place that shows all the beauty that East Tennessee has to offer. We also had a variety of setting to shoot at from woods, to a pond, to gorgeous grassy fields.

I have known Kevan and Amanda for little over a year now and have loved seeing their relationship grow. They are truly dedicated to each other and their love radiates off of both of them.

And then there is their dog Hank. Hanks has big personality and is always (did I say ALWAYS?) ready to play. A day is not compete without hanging out with Hank.

Hank had his first encounter with a horse and I think it went well. As a matter of fact, I think it might be true love!

Thank you so much to Amanda and Kevan for letting me spend a wonderful afternoon with you. I hope you had fun! I know I did. Check out more photos below in the gallery!

That's right, this little lady just turned one! Can you believe it? It's hard to believe that I've been photographing Lily for a year now. She has grown faster than I could have believed. It was so much fun to celebrate with this little girl and her family.

Lily's parents threw a Lady Bug themed party and it was ADORABLE. They had everything from Lady Bug cake to a color coordinated tutu for the birthday girl.

The party was an intimate gathering of family and close friends. You could just feel the love coming out of that room! Freddie, Lily's Dad, smoked the pork bbq himself and we had a small feast. Instead of cards for Lily, they had everyone sign one of her Cat in the Hat books so that as she grows up she will be able to know everyone who was at her first birthday party. So sweet! However my favorite moment had to be watching Lily discover her cake. I say "discover" because she didn't smash it, she just investigated it more and more.
