This week has been extremely cold here in TN.  We have had a lot of winter weather, and I for one am ready for Spring!! It has been a week of no school, stuck in the house, can't get out of my driveway!  I have felt so sorry for the ones that have to get out and work this week.  Luckily as a stay at home mom I have not had to step out unless we were playing in the snow.  It is beautiful out there though.  

We have been super busy the last month or so, outside pictures not so much, but we have been shooting sporting events.  We are following Gordonsville High School sports for the Carthage Courier.  If you have not noticed some of the pictures in the paper have been credit of Double Takes.  We are really enjoying the sports pictures, and catching  shots of players battling it out on the court. 

We are also very excited about Spring approaching!  Not only to finally thaw out from all the cold, but also to capture some pictures. We would love to do Mommy and Me Sessions for Mother's Day!   It always seems like time flies, and Mother's Day is approaching fast. It is so fun to just capture images of the bond between mother and child.  We always try to get more pictures of interaction than that of a pose when it comes to Mommy and Me Sessions.  

Also Easter Pictures are fun.  No we don't have bunnies or chicks, but Easter would be a perfect time to have family photos made.  I wish I would have had more family photos made than I have.  My little toothless guy is now a big boy, and it makes me sad  that I have not had more made.  I have snapped pictures most days, but not enough of family photos. 

Father's Day is approaching fast also and what a better way to celebrate Daddy than to capture some fun together?  Daddy's Girls are so sweet, and this is a prime example of what we do, and how we like our interaction pictures.

Spring would be the prime time to get your Senior Pictures done.   When schools do them on the end of your Junior year they can seem outdated since you change over a years time.  So this would be the perfect time for Seniors to get there pictures taken and look like they did during their Senior year. 

Also with prom is coming up sooner than you think.  We would be happy to do prom pictures for any person going to prom.  You get all dressed up for one night so you might want some pictures to reflect on a fun night.  We will take them at a location of your choice!

We also do events.  We can do any birthday, gender reveal, baby shower, or any special moment that you want captured on film.  I love doing exciting parties and watching expressions.

We are also now offering Fresh 48 sessions!! The first 48 hours of a baby's life is so precious, and let's be honest mommy won't feel too much like taking pictures of your bundle of joy.  Daddy will be too excited to remember to pick up the camera also.  Let us come do the work for you!  There is nothing sweeter than a newborn baby, and their first moments in this world.

Look how tiny my bundle of joy was!! I was so excited for my Mother-In-Law to be there to get these pictures.  I would have never been able to see his reaction to his first bath, or any of him in the nursery if it had not been for her standing outside the window snapping these pictures.  We have also purchased a new lens that is perfect for the shots of new baby and parents in a tight delivery room.  

Wow that was a long blog, and my child is quiet.  A quiet two year old is never a good sign.  So as always we would be happy to take pictures for any occasion for you and your family.  We are working on updating our pricing list, and will get more info out on that later.  Please let us know if we can be of any help at any time.  We love what we do, and love watching precious moments as we capture them on film.  

Stay warm and safe,

Kim Hoot
