Caitlin is the coolest. She just graduated from high school, has a crazy love for Jesus, is smart, funny, beautiful, and in a few weeks is off to serve special needs orphans in China for a year.  I told you she was the coolest.

bobbie brown: she is beautiful and so are these pictures!

Tricia Maurer: I am one PROUD Nana =) Katy thanks for such beautiful and precious memories. You capture them so well....

natalie: Makes my heart smile to see that precious little Kyndall. Great job Katy!

I cannot believe that Eli is going to be one this month! ONE?!  I decided that I’d better hurry up and take all of the baby pictures of him that I’ve been meaning to get around to- So here he is, almost not a lil’ baby anymore… Almost a one year old. He is ready for the title- Cruisin and crawling like lightening around the house. He wants to do everything with brother and does his best to keep up.

They’re the sweetest brothers and love to be together. Eli gets in James Henry’s bed as soon as he wakes up every morning.

afd1  Eli insist on feeding himself and this is the scene at almost every mealtime-

Bear with his “sand pile”- I love his imagination- Here you can see that the ladies were enjoying a nice picnic, when the lion came out of nowhere and scared them half to death- So, now the lion is in time- out. Of course he is.

That is life with a one, and a two year old: Precious, fun, funny, messy, exhausting, and flying by much to fast.

Lisa M Anderson: My oh my - so precious and so very true about boys at those ages. My little one (a girl) will be 2 on the 19th and each and every day she's less and less a baby and more and more a big girl wanting to do everything. She's talking so much that it's like she can hardly say all the words that are in her head. I adore this age though and very much love seeing the world through her eyes. I love these pictures...certainly captures their personalities and their lives as they really must be!

Aunt Bobbie: Thanks for the new pics of the boys. They are precious. I wish I could see them more often.

copyrightkatysouthern4acopyrightkatysouthern21copyrightkatysouthern3aI had a great time walking around, chatting and chatching up with this sweet family.  I love the special bond between them. The beautiful girls are the younger sisters of one of  my favorite friends. It doesn’t seem that long ago that they were running around our dorm  in footie jammies and decorating my make up case with stickers!

Jessica Kelly: As always, you did a fantastic job capturing the essence of my wonderful family. I know they loved being photographed by you. I still see them as those little kids in footie pjs; makes me feel so old!!!

dianna douglass: KATY!!! i can't wait to see the rest of these! i thin downtown franklin was indeed the perfect place for us to go!...and it really wasn't that long ago that they were running around your dorm in footie pjs with sparkle stickers!!!!

copyrightkatysouthern4Fun at the park- anyone from around here knows which one!  I’m pretty sure the last image could be a “Visit Nashville” poster. I loved the late afternoon light and spending time with this family on a warm spring evening.

Lisa M Anderson: Beautiful pictures of beautiful children. And I think I agree with you about that last picture - Nasvhvillw Tourism should buy that one from yoU!!!

elizabeth priddy: omg. I love the last one!! awesome!!

James Henry, Eli and I have been at the beach with the grandmothers. We had a great time but were heart broken over the devastation back home in Tennessee. Clint called with updates and reports from our house and thankfully we had no flood damage. We are praying for those who did, and are ready to help our fellow Nashvillians.

copyrightkatysouthernpsaI’m so grateful for clean water. My heart is heavy from the flooding here, and the oil spill in the Gulf. Our friends at La Providencia in Honduras are having trouble with their clean water well and also fighting fires. We are praying- and Eli is doing his part to conserve- Taking a sink bath instead of filling up the whole tub.  I love a socially responsible baby!  

Maria: Oh my goodness, I used to do this with my first born. Sink baths are good for everybody, and yes they make really cute photos.

Cator-Woolford was the perfect backdrop for Matt and Rachel’s Atlanta garden wedding. Gorgeous florals by SGS designs complimented the lush green setting. The Tech trolley, Lynchberg lemonade, Southern belles in blue,  and azaleas in bloom… I love a spring wedding in the south! See a slide show sneak peek of their BIG day by clicking here and then on the “Matt and Rachel” tab. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bine!

Heather Sisemore: Oh Katy...these are so good! Love the picture of the tent....wow, just wow!

Alice Remble: What a fabulous wedding, everything was just beautiful and you look wonderful my darling. If I ever renew my vowls, I want it to be there. Much Love Alice "Tina's Turn"
