// The Longeneckers - Him and Honey - Nashville Film Portrait Photography

Last month we had the pleasure of photographing this precious little family. Sara is an amazing makeup artist here in middle Tennessee and her husband Michael is one crazy talented handyman. Seriously, I love lurking through their house when I visit because he has always done so many awesome things to it! Sara worked her makeup magic for my bridal portraits, wedding, and maternity photos, so obviously I'm a big fan of hers! We snapped some adorable photos of her little family of four one morning in Dickson, and we even had Michael's parents and sisters join in! We've never photographed this many people in one setting before so it was a fun experience. You'd never know it was so incredibly hot and humid by looking at these folks, right? And how cute are their kiddos?!

// Maternity Photos - v.2 - Him and Honey

And here's the second installment of the maternity photos Mike shot of me a couple of weeks ago. I know, I know! I should have pared it down to a less embarrassing amount of photos, but I wasn't even planning on sharing these. Then I realized that the actual second batch of materntiy photos we shot (in Florida) won't be back for a couple of weeks and I remembered I had these of me and Toby. You even get the ones where I'm making derp faces and looking cross-eyed. And check out my weird feet in several of them, too! haha! The one where I'm sitting on the rock and then the last one... what was I even doing?!

The random snaps of me in the grey dress were when Mike and I were taken right after we got finished photographing Sara and her family. We were trying to test out the lighting for the situation and I figured I'd toss those in, too. The photos with the chambray top were from the next day at our small family baby shower in Lawrenceburg. I had planned on shooting a handful of different outfits but I just couldn't hang. I was totally convinced these photos would be a total wash and I'd be out of luck. The ones with Toby are some of my absolute favorites. I definitely plan on getting one of them framed or something. He's just so precious! We planned on snapping a few more in Florida, just to take advantage of the different scenery and the fact we'd have some extra eyes to capture a few of us as a family, but that just didn't happen. We did get some solo ones of me while we were walking around the camp area, but sadly our big family session got bumped due to some very last minute changes in plans. I'm still crossing my fingers there's a slight chance a friend can help us out this weekend if possible, but I might just have to deal with the fact we won't have any film photos of all 3 of us. (I know we could hire someone else to take the photos, but we really dig the look and feel of our film work, and unfortunately the other photographers here in Nashville that shoot a similar look/feel are crazy expensive! I'd rather spend that cash on hiring someone to get photos of all four of us instead. Maybe we'll resort to the timer again... haha) Thanks for letting me spam your interwebs with photos of my huge bump. And yes, this means there will likely be a "round three" from Florida in a few weeks because apparently I don't know any better. :P xo

P.S; I'm 37 weeks today! Full term, baby! My mind is blown.

// Toby in Florida - Him And Honey - Nashville Film Portrait Photography

One of the perks of having such a cute kid is that we get to photograph him everywhere we go. We went a little overboard in Florida, but this is the product of only two rolls of film! You can tell he was a little exhausted in many of them. Sometimes he just like to give some lip haha! Catch him any other day and he's all "Can you guys take some pictures of me now?" - no joke. I probably could (and should!) have narrowed them down more, but I'm a biased mom. I think he's a total ham and I know we're going to cherish these photos forever. (I say that every time I share photos of him, don't I? ha) That last photo really gets me though! That's totally a Toby face...

Today we're driving 12 hours to the Atlantic coast! We're spending a few days with our best friends in Wilmington and I'm so excited to get there! Mike and I haven't been to Wilmington since we got engaged in March 2012, so we're stoked on getting our Nikki's Sushi and Opera House fix. Crossing my fingers for perfect weather and smooth sailing. See ya on the other side!

Happy Monday! We're gearing up for another productive week around here. We're barely a week out from our little road trip to see friends and we're trying to ready the blog, get the house in order, and plan out what we want to see on the road and while in Wilmington. We'll be armed with all of our film gear so if you're in/around Wilmington (or Chattanooga, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbia (SC), Charleston, Savannah (GA), Charlotte, or Asheville...) and you're looking for some snazzy portraits, get in touch! We'll be hopefully passing through each of these cities and we love a good excuse to hang out for a while! Also, if you've got suggestions on places to check out in any of these cities, send us all you know! We've been planning our trip via Roadtrippers and I'm already feeling like we need to make an extra trip to Georgia to check out all of the covered bridges! haha

We're offering both mini and full sessions on our trip, and we've love to share your faces on our blogs. We're hoping we can tack a few extra days onto the tail end of our trip to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary coming up (!!!). It's less than 4 weeks away now. That's insane! It feels like our wedding day was just last week. Speaking of weddings and all that good stuff, aren't Paul and Madison adorable?! We had the honor of shooting their engagement photos and we can't wait for their wedding plans to fall into place. They were so sweet and so awesome to hang out with for the day.

The perfect way to start a Monday... seeing two people totally in love. If you want to see more of our film photo work, check out our Him and Honey website and blog (just disregard the About page... it's on today's to do list)! We've got another session to share with y'all soon! Not to mention the four sessions from this past Saturday! I'm geeking out just thinking about how amazing the photos are going to be. Seriously, we get to photograph some seriously photogenic folks. Anyway, I hope your week is off to a great start! xo
