SubscribeCarson and Brady had me rolling on the floor during their session, seriously!! You would never know it by these stoic looks on their faces. A tape recorder would have been great. I’ve told everyone I know the things they said. Enjoy these years Megan and thank you!
August 26, 2010 - 8:19 am - I love the 1st shot and the interaction shots!
When Tonya asked me where would be a great location for her session, I had her describe her home…”grass, fence, creek, trees, rocks, old swing…” Sounds wonderful to me…
thanks for looking! You can check out more of this session on facebook. Comments are welcome!
First I did Tyson’s Senior session a few years ago, now I have been blessed to photograph his little Daisy! (thanks Sherrie, I can’t bring myself to call you Granny!)
Nostalgia, a word meaning “a yearning for the past”, often idealized in our memories . . .
8 track records,
Drive-In theaters ( I used to live beside one growing up. I’ve seen “Grease” as many times without sound as with)…Just as I finished looking at my Teen Beat magazine and kissing Luke Duke goodnight, I’d peer out my window just in time to see Rizzo clutching her books and mouthing the words, “there are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two”…
Route 66 and the Open Road, “Where’s the Beef” ad campaigns, cartoons on Saturdays only, tin lunch boxes, Barbie and Ken…
Ahhh…and Jeep Grande Cherokee…
“Gas costs how much?”
My vision for the above photographs were definitely inspired by these beautiful children, the vintage Waggoneer and the beautiful homes of Alexa and Linda Cornett! Thank you Danielle for trusting me with your babies and for letting me run with this idea!
What makes you feel nostalgic? Comments are welcome! Oh, and if anyone would like to schedule a BLAST FROM THE PAST session for August, September or October, call us today 606-436-1988 or email me: suzanne@photosbysuzanne.com An art-piece like no other is just waiting at the tip of my imagination, with your children as the inspiration!

July 26, 2010 - 10:30 pm - I actually met the little lady from the "Where's the beef?" commercials while I was in Disney World on a vacation during high school. Somewhere, I've got a pic of me....with my Jaclyn Smith feathered hair...and the little lady.

July 19, 2010 - 5:29 pm - Hey Suzanne! Any of Lily Grace?
I have known Todd for years! The first time I met him I took McKenna over to his mom’s house to ride their horses. The pictures I have of her from that day are only snapshots, but some of my favorites of her. One is still hanging on my refrigerator today! How blessed I am to be able to photograph his new baby, Tate Phillip and create beautiful images for Todd, Lindsey and the entire family!
Thanks for looking! Comments are welcome!
~Suz
July 8, 2010 - 9:06 am - Beautiful Pictures of Tate! I haven't got to see him in person yet. I'm so happy for Todd and Lindsey! They will be great parents!
July 8, 2010 - 12:42 pm - So cute!!!
Enjoy the highlight video and then scroll down to see some of my favorite images…
The wedding took place at the beautiful Allandale Mansion in Kingsport, TN… this shot was taken in the doorway and is one of my favorites!
now that’s a great looking bunch of guys!
The reception was decorated by Jill at Just Ask Rental in Clintwood, VA. You can email her at jillmullins@hughes.net
Brenda was my favorite person of the day! We had connection and laughed everytime we got together. Thanks for all your help!
The ceremony was my favorite part of this wedding. I was fortunate enough to have a beautiful angle that’s not always possible in a church, (have I mentioned I LOVE outdoor weddings?)
The reception was at an old barn on the grounds…
The beautiful video light was provided by the most awesome CINEMATOGRAPHER I know, Thomas Young from LAKE POINT FILMS
Thomas and Jerome add just the right spice to video to create a true film of any event or wedding day. I hope Thomas is around when my children get married!
As I walked back to my van, I snapped this last one…
Thanks to everyone who made this day so perfect for Sara and Brian. I am truly blessed to have been a part of this day. Sara has been a bridesmaid in two other weddings I’ve had the honor of phot0graphing. Thanks again, Kristen & Justin Sturgill, Holly & Andrew Tucker and their wonderful friends and family who continue to make this group of girls shine, time after time….

Hey, everyone who follows my blog…I’ve got a great idea! To break up the monotony of my blog, I’ve decided to add a new category, “Expression of the Week”…
This will be an image I post every Thursday to grab your attention in some way…
Hope you enjoy!
This shot is hilarious! I love the way the wind blew Bryce’s hair just at the moment he showed me his true personality!
At the end of the year we will have a contest with all the “Expression of the Week” images and have all our fans vote on their favorite image for a GRAND CHAMPION winner. It will cost a dollar to vote and all the proceeds will go to the charity, “OPERATION SMILE”…
June 13, 2010 - 10:34 am - Oh this is so funny! I love the hair, the expression, and the idea! Fun!
Here’s baby Griffin . . . with his proud big sister Alayna! I’ve been photographing her for years now so it was an adjustment for both of us to allow another person into our little world. But, I think we pulled it off . . .
This is a sure sign that the session is officially done . . . he’s checking to see if I still have the camera in his face!
Thanks for looking! Please leave me some comments!
June 4, 2010 - 10:18 am - I'm so glad you posted these. We haven't had a chance to meet Baby Griffin yet and I love his pics. He's going to be as adorable as his big Sister!
June 13, 2010 - 10:33 am - Haha, that last one is too funny! Beautiful images, I'm sure the parents are thrilled!
Ellie and Zoe were at the studio for Zoe’s One-Year session and it was PINK everywhere! I love these girls!
Ellie is practicing for her model pose here!
May 11, 2010 - 11:47 am - These pictures are beautiful Suzanne!
May 11, 2010 - 11:59 am - We love your work. Thanks for these beautiful pictures of the girls!!!

June 13, 2010 - 10:31 am - Oh I love his red hair!! And what sweet eyes and chubby cheeks! He is precious!
or simply breathtaking? You decide . . .
~Suz
Allie is absolutely precious! She just turned two and is a sassy little thing. She reminds me so much of my daughter, McKenna at that age, mainly because she is totally a MOMMY’S GIRL, as you will see . . .
and does it get any cuter than this?
and we’re finished…
Thanks for looking! I appreciate you so much Chelsea and Allie!
