nashville, tn dog photographer • sleepy, sleepy

last night i was working late and ended up falling asleep on the sofa in my office. when i woke up this morning, benny was laying on me in a sweet, curled up position. i wish i had my camera in my hand when i first awoke, but no such luck. i have no idea how long he was there, but he was out! and i felt ... perfect. i love this sweet boy. so this evening, brian was taking a quick nap before dinner and when i went to wake him, this is what i saw. fortunately, i did have time to grab my camera for these.

holly and lucas are getting married in a week and i'm so excited that their time has finally arrived! for their engagement session, we tromped around downtown columbia and found some great spots. they are such a fun-loving couple and after our time together they are now addicted to "the office." :)

probably my favorite!




love the intimacy in this shot


holly and lucas ordered this on canvas and will be adding to it after the wedding. can't wait to see the wall display completed!
