Family Time at World's Fair Park

So...since I am in such a bloggy mood I have decided to go through the archives at some shoots I have done over the past little bit. And when I say little bit I mean a long while! This family session is back from July!!! CRAZY!!! But a good friend of mine from the days of Emerson asked me to shoot her family! Lets just say that this little guy B was the cutest thing ever! Talk about WiLd!! We had so much fun running around the World's Fair park, on the playground, playing in the pond, then getting yelled at by a bicycle cop for being in the water ("But I got the shot!"), to playing on the stage and then finally ending up over in the fountains! I had a blast! I might come to re-edit some of these now that I have a little more knowledge under my belt, but that is if I have time! Here are some of Kim's family starring Little Man B!

Tears were wiped away and stern words were spoken.

Time for some playing with his momma! What kiddo doesn't love water?!?

One of the things I remember the most from being little is when my Momma would wrap me up in a towel! One of my favorite memories!!

I think he's tuckered out!

So that was my day in the park...literally! We had such a fun time! I'm now taking bookings for families so drop me an email at kaylafotography@gmail.com and we can book a date!

Now a little shot for myself on the way home!

I'm Baaack!! :)

Wow...oh wow!! Wait...what is the date? Its been 9 months since I last posted. Sad day! As most of you know, I am Jennie Andrews' photography assistant. Basically this means every single (or almost) Saturday from May-November consists of me running around like a chicken with my head cut off on various different wedding venues around Knoxville (and Asheville and Sevierville, and any other area within driving distance)! But I absolutely love it so much! I have found an incredible friend in Jennie, not to mention my future wedding photographer! :) I have learned an INSANE amount about photography and editing from her. She is in every way a mentor and I owe her so much! Ok, so enough with the semi-gushy stuff! I have compiled a little selection of some of my favorite shots from some of the weddings I have done with her. These are by no means all the weddings and certainly not all the pictures. I just didn't want to bore anyone with pictures of guests smiling! hehe!
So here we go with a couple that got married at my dream wedding spot...the L&N Station Downtown. However, due to recent events...that will no longer be possible. My heart was broken. But, the venue shouldn't be a big deal cause my fella isn't going anywhere! :)

My favorite...and I mean favorite thing to take pictures of at weddings are the details! I just love them...they don't move, blink, talk! That sounds horrible but I have always been that way. I would rather take pictures of things...not necessarily people. But here is a couple that I just fell in love with…one of my favorite couples by far! But then again...I tend to say that about all the brides and grooms!

This next couple was super super sweet!!! I absolutely LOVE the shots I got of there ceremony! One super traditional…the other…not so much! I love how it is “Bride and Groom Blurriness” in the background!

My “First Greek Wedding”! Let me just say…the stereotypes are pretty accurate!  There was a lot of laughing, drinking, and definitely lots of dancing! So much fun!

And ironically, the last wedding I will post was my first wedding of this season! However, I am not too fond of this wedding, solely because this is the one that I wore shoes that were too small and ran ALL over the Old City and basically killed both of my big toenails. Seriously…they died…went completely black and purple…and gross and are still not fully back to normal! And this all happened in March! Was it a precursor to how the wedding season was going to turn out…maybe! But I seriously have had the best time shooting with Jennie!
