Freezing Time With Photographs

Happy New Year!

Well it’s hard to believe we are almost in 2012! So one of the changes I plan to make in the new year is to update my blog and begin posting often again. In the past two years, my business name has changed from “Jill Barber Photography” to “Sprouting Hearts Photography”. This explains the logo change on past posts for those of you new to my site and blog. I will be posting some previous sessions from 2011 soon to update here. I post many of my sessions on Facebook, so if you’re a facebook person, please find my page there at Sprouting Hearts Photography and “like” the page to see all the updates.

Check back soon for some changes to the blog. And I wish all of you a very Happy New Year full of blessings, adventures and lots of joy! Take time to show love and kindness each day. Happy New Year! :)

Newborn Session with Baby Liam

So precious… she would whisper in his little ear to help him fall asleep.

Precious little fingers.

SO SWEET! Must be having a good dream!

I LOVE baby yawns! So sweet! Thank you Laura and Chuck, for the privilege of capturing these specials moments with your precious son.

Allison and David’s Engagement Session

Allison and David are SO fun to be with! They were always so natural… capturing their love in these photos was so easy!

Just so SWEET!! Don’t ya think?! :)

This bridge was AWESOME! It’s in downtown Nashville, TN.

I love her beautiful blue eyes! They just sparkle!

One of my favorite shots! She LOVES her red heels… and says “every girl needs a pair of red high heel shoes”! I agree!

I loved the way they looked standing against these tall pillars. You’d never know they were freezing to death! It had been snowing most of the day. But they were warm with love! Thank you Allison and David for a wonderful fun session! I can hardly wait until the wedding!

Wishing everyone a very Happy Valentines Day! Make sure you tell all the special people in your life how much you love them!

Time to welcome little Teddy!

Meet Teddy! This precious little guy seemed to be excited about his session… and didn’t want to sleep much. But thankfully, as you will see, he took several little *cat naps* that allowed us the moments to capture these adorable shots! He was precious!

I LOVE baby yawns!

Such a twinkle in her eyes, that mommies have when they’re holding their precious newborn baby!

Just precious!

Don’t you just LOVE the big brother smile!!

Tiny fingers… that won’t stay tiny for long. So precious. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of photography your precious new son, Titus and Cammy! *Hugs*

Cannon Maternity Session

This was such an enjoyable session! It was full of sweet quiet moments and lots of laughter too! The kids were GREAT for the family portraits, and everyone was so excited to have the session. Thanks for a wonderful time! Can hardly wait to have the session for little Teddy!

Bailey Family Session

From chattering teeth behind the early morning smiles, to the afternoon warmth at the second half of the session… we had a GREAT TIME! It’s families like this that make me LOVE being a photographer! A special thank you to Glenn and Jana, and the rest of the family for a fun and very memorable session! And I only wish I could post more pictures… this is just a fraction of the great shots we got.

This couple is so sweet…. I just love the “cuddle” look here!

Gotta love that teenage boy look!!

This little precious girl had PERSONALITY PLUS!! She was so fun!!

These blue eyes are just GORGEOUS!

So sweet…

This adorable little guy was enjoying his first year (at their annual get-away-cabin) driving the 4-wheeler all by himself! He was AMAZINGLY good too! What a wonderful day… a very memorable photo session for me! Thanks again to all the Bailey family and extended family. It was a privilege to capture these moments for you!

Davis Family

This was such an enjoyable photo session! The children were all so cute and seemed so excited about having their pictures taken. From the parents to the oldest down to the youngest child, they were SUCH a joy to work with. Thank you Davis family, for a fun session and the privilege of capturing these moments in your life.

Dad and his sons.

Mom and her daughters.

The youngest and the oldest…

Isn’t he just a cutie!

Her little expressions were so cute! I just had to make a collage with them!

Aaron was showing me his philosopher pose!

Garner Maternity Session

Sproutingheartsphotography — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:16:01 +0000

Brittney and Ricky are first time expectant parents… and were so excited about their session! It was great fun photographing them… watching how they showed their excitement about the baby and being together. It’s great to be blessed to have a part in the lives of my clients at these memorable times! I just LOVE what I do!!

Brittney looked gorgeous is this dress with the Autumn colors around her!

Her tiny hands looks so sweet on his, both of them *holding* their baby.

I enjoy playing around with different editing to make some special shots look unique from each photo session. This one has got to be one of my favorites! Thanks for a fun time Brittney and Ricky! Can’t wait to see baby soon!! ~ Jill

Matt & Ashely – Engagement photo session

Sproutingheartsphotography — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:57:39 +0000

Matt and Ahsley were one of the cutest, funniest, and so-in-love couple! What a joy it was to have the privilege of photographing this very special time in their lives! This lion is just one of several all over their college campus. Bryan college in Dayton, TN.

She has the most beautiful eyes! Of course Matt just LOVES gazing at them!

I LOVED this wall we found downtown!

This was on the town square at the courthouse. It was so pretty when the sun was setting.

This was the cutest little “general store”! I just had to do some fun editing with this one… a little retro/vintage feel!

These shots at the railroad tracks have got to be my favorites of the session!

I thought this was the perfect shot to end the post… her cute little monogrammed tennies! Thanks for a GREAT time Matt and Ashley!
