a berry-pickin fun time

I got the opportunity to go berry picking last week with my kids and a friend and we had such a great time! I've never gotten the chance to do this before and will definitely be back.
















As I was leaving, I saw that they had corn and other veggies in the back as well.

I think the berry season will be ending soon, but you locals should stop by some time. Here's the info: Beau Blue Limonsin - Beauchene's Berry Farm - Blueberries, blackberries
9020 Blue Grass Road, Knoxville, TN, 37922-5924. Phone: (865) 693-4221.

And here's a little knoxnews article I found about the couple and their farm.

I'm fighting a cold and working dilligently to get this family's images up before they go out of town. We had a fun session the other night at the UT botanical gardens and I'm about half way done editing them now. I had to share a couple of my favorites from the first half. Little "A" was such a sweet little guy!






Also, the next Boogie Down Baby is coming up this weekend on Saturday, July 19th at Knoxville Food and Drink. Kiley always arranges such wonderful door prizes, and this time I will also be giving away a complimentary child or family portrait session and 11x14 enlargement. Hope to see you there!

Dancing Queen

It's hard for me to believe I have a four-and-a-half-year-old. I really enjoy my kids getting older to see what kind of little people they are becoming.

Recently, my daughter had her first ballet recital with Angela Floyd School for the Dancer. I couldn't believe how well she did up on that big stage. It was quite a production and I think she really enjoyed it. She was one of the Madeline dolls.

What a superstar. Front and center.

Yesterday I got the chance to redo her formal ballet photos for this year. I thought I would just let the dance school photographer take care of everything and do them, but, go figure, my daughter's file is the one that gets corrupted.

So I had to painstakingly get her hair slicked up (which is pure torture I tell you) and back into her recital outfit. It's always worth all the trouble, though, when I look at the photos.

Hope you all are having a great July 4th weekend! I wanted to update on the mini sessions. I still have some availibility on Tuesday the 8th, so if you are interested in a session, call (548-8363) or email (tinymiracles@mac.com) me asap. Sessions MUST be pre-booked.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out the post below.

Thanks!
