Take a look at the fabulous family:

Their girls are absolutely fabulous to work with. All three of them get along so well!! I can't believe how much they have grown up, especially baby Caroline.

Happy Birthday Ava Grace Photography
Well it has officially been one year now that Ava Grace Photography has been in business!
I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by! We have had some of the best clients imaginable! Every single one of our bride and grooms have been fabulous! Every family has been spectacular!
We are completely overwhelmed by the rate at which we were able to grow and it is all thanks to you, our faithful clients and blog readers. As of today, our blog has had over 20,000 hits in just under a year! I never dreamed so many of you would come here to see our work. You have made it possible for us to succeed and grow to the level we are at now. Without you, we would just be to silly people with cameras. You makes our jobs so much fun and exciting! You keep me coming back day after day. And we thank you for that! From the bottom of both of our heart we thank each one of you for believing in us and encouraging us to keep doing what we are doing. Thank you for allowing us to photograph you, your loves, and your families. Thank you for letting us experiment on you with different techniques. Thank you for putting up with my crazy antics while capture your memories. Thank you for your kind words to us and for telling others about us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I also want to take a second to thank a very special couple. Over the past year we have been blessed to have the help of Allison and Jeff Rodgers. Both have made them selves available to us to ask questions and advice. Without some of their words of wisdom we wouldn't be where we are today. I know that they did not have to help us at all, we live within the same area and they could just see us as competitors. Instead they have been very open with us when we have had questions. The taking pictures part was pretty easy to get down, but the running a business part is not to easy. the Rodgers helped guide us down the right path so that we would be able to succeed at what we love. Thank you Allison and Jeff for being there to help us and keep us from failing!
And now we proceed on to year two! I never dreamed I would be here in life at my age and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! This is what I love doing and I can't wait to do it for many many many years to come! What an honor it is for me to be trusted with capturing your lives. Every day I wake up excited to start my day because I love my job so much. I feel weird even calling it a job because it is so much fun for me.
In the next year you will see a couple of changes in somethings around here. We are working on some new products to offer, we are taking classes to take our skill levels even higher, and we are going to be changing a few things with our website and blog. So keep coming back and see what we have in store! I promise you will love it!
And I'll leave you with a fun little series from our wedding this past Saturday. When brides tell us to make sure we enjoy ourselves at the reception, we do. Well we enjoy ourselves regardless because capturing the love at weddings is so much fun! Well if I know those at the reception I am more likely to get a little dancing on. Philip of course refuses to dance so he keeps shooting while I take a few minutes to breath. And you can imagine, Philip took that opportunity to capture my lovely white girl dance moves. Our jobs are fun, I mean who gets to do this and call it work :)

Stockdale Family- Memphis Portrait Photographer
When I sit down to edit my image from portraits sessions I get really excited. I love going through all the images and seeing the great fun that my families are having. I tend to shoot families in a very laid back nature and I try to capture them really interacting with one another. We typically don't do the traditional stiff posing and that is one reason why I love editing my images, I get to see families happy and completely relaxed.
Jason, Patti, and little Declan joined me last Saturday for a beautiful day outside. Patti has been following our work for a while now and hinted very strongly to Jason that she would love to have us capture their family. Being a good husband he called me up and we arranged a time to get them all together for some fun portraits. It was so much fun getting to spend the morning with them and capture their family. I have know Jason for a very very long time. During their viewing we tried to count how many years it has been. Our parents taught Sunday School together for years and the earliest memory I have of being around Jason would be when he was about junior high age. Now he is married and has the cutest son ever! It is so much fun or me to get together with those I have grown up with and see where they are in life and be able to document this specific stage of life.
Jason and Patti, you have one of the mot adorable little families and it was an honor for you to choose me to capture your love for one another and Declan!
And on to your images! I know there are some grandparents and siblings waiting for these :)
Mr. Declan LOVES trains and since we were around one that day he had to go over for a visit.
I'm pretty sure he know how to work it for the camera. He kept giving me the cutest poses ever!
Absolute favorites of D from the day
He is melting my heart right now...
Cheers,
Savannah

Tucker Family- Memphis Portrait Photographer
I am a little behind on posting some of our sessions and I am really sorry about that! we have been really busy with shooting, editing and client meetings and I need to stay on top of blogging!
So first up we have the great Tucker family. They were such troopers for us the day of their session. It was one of the coldest days yet that we have had in Memphis this season! I mean like takes 5 hours after coming inside for being outside to warm up cold! But they didn't complain at all and braved the elements. Little Katie was very fascinated by being at the park and thought playing would be a much better idea so we ran with that and enjoyed being able to capture her being a child...
And on to the images
