It was such a privilege to photograph this sweet family! Laura, Daniel, and Mercy, thank you so much for trusting us enough to meet us in a Publix parking lot and follow my Mini Cooper through miles of country back roads to find one of our favorite spots on the Natchez Trace! You probably wondered where in the world we were taking you, but you followed us anyway. The city may have mowed our tall grass but you followed us under this gorgeous tree and carried on with us! You also never wavered no matter what posing we asked of you despite the 90 degree, extremely muggy weather. For those of you who don’t know, the forehead to forehead pose gets a little slippery in the Tennessee heat! You showed up beautifully dressed with great attitudes, and we appreciate that so much!

We hope you guys will enjoy these photos for many years to come. You’ll be able to look back at them to see how much Mercy has grown and developed in such a short time! Parenthood looks great on you both!
