Olivia ~ Laurelwood Farms ~ Bridal Session ~ Chattanooga Wedding Photographer

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Laurelwood Farms is a beautifully landscaped photographers heaven on Signal Mountain right here in Tennessee. Olivia is an amazing Bride with classic beauty, think Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis, Betty Grable. Combine the two? Wow… Just gorgeous.

Because Laurelwood is so laid back, so comfortable, and so filled with location options - we opted to do Olivia’s mini-bridal session the day of her wedding. The beautiful bouquet is by Avery Patten.

Here are some of her gorgeous bridal photos… isn’t she stunning?

Mary Elizabeth & Chris’s Engagement Session in Nashville, TN ~ Nashville Photographer

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Mary Elizabeth & Chris are one of those couples who’re just perfect for each other. You can see the love in their eyes when they look at each other, you can feel their connection when they’re near you. I love photographing their engagement session in Nashville, TN. Nashville has so many wonderfully amazing locations to photograph in - I LOVE shooting there. I would love to photograph there more actually - *hint, hint* to people getting married in Nashville!

We started the session in Centennial Park and ended up on the streets of downtown.

I had an amazing time - thanks Chris & Mary Elizabeth!

Sneek Peek ~ Dylan’s Senior Session ~ Downtown Chattanooga ~ Chattanooga Senior Photography

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Dylan rocks! I had SO much fun photographing Dylan. He’s laid back, fun, creative, and an exceptionally talented musician. He played a lot of guitar during his session and I was really very impressed. Congrats to Dylan on his last year of High School! I can still remember how exiting it was to be a Senior in High School. I hope Dylan enjoys it as much as I did - it’s definitely one of the best years of your life!

Here’s a sneak peek of Dylan’s Senior Session…

Christmas Mini Sessions ~ Custom Christmas Cards ~ Chattanooga Family Photographer

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

It’s time for the Christmas Mini Sessions!

I have two dates scheduled this year for Christmas Mini Sessions. Mini Sessions are awesome! They’re the perfect length to get some really awesome family photos, some individual images of the kids, and whatever else we have the time for. They’re perfect for Christmas Cards (25 of which are included with the session fee this year!), gifts for grandparents, updating the family portrait, and sharing with friends and family.

These Christmas cards are GORGEOUS. If you’ve ever gotten one of mine in the mail then you know just how pretty they are. If you haven’t then stay tuned for some photos in a few days. The texture, the colors, they’re just outstandingly beautiful. Every Christmas my wonderful clients tell me how many compliments they received on their Christmas cards.

So, bring your family, your husband, your dog, your kids - those people in your immediate family who are important to you, and book your mini-session. Last year I had these sold out before I even had the chance to announce them - this year I’m announcing them first so everybody has a chance to book one and I’ve opened more slots than normal. See the image below for session details. Please use the contact form (up top on the right) or email me at MelodyHood@gmail.com for more information or to book your mini-session.

Mini sessions will be held in a location of my choosing, typically a local park, most likely Greenway Farms & Heritage Park. Beautiful locations with lots of variety.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone this year!
