Babies, Toddlers, and BABIES!

Random Acts of Kindness :)

Thought I would blog a little tonight, sitting here snowed in with my girlies all snuggled up asleep on the couch and I'm still in awe of the most awesome random acts of kindness that anyone could ever imagine. I am a kind of person that wants to help everyone I can and expect nothing in return, and now I'm so glad that I am this person, because it does come back at some point in your lifetime and when you don't expect it at all WOW there it is!
Life has been a little crazy lately, everyday comes with a new change, a new opportunity to make the day great. I'm so thankful for those I have in my life and so thankful for many awesome clients.
So just a few words to say THANK YOU so much to you all for being so great and to Ben a dear friend aka long lost brother of mine, and one who has shown me that there are still great people out there who can and will do awesome little random acts of kindness :)
HUGS

Borski Family

I love photographing Maternity/Births/ and Newborns its an experience like no other! The Borski family is so precious. I will never forget little Pipers face as she watched her little brother being brought into this world, and some of the funny faces just make you giggle. I put together a slide show from the Maternity session and also the Birth, Enjoy :)

Preston+Genevieve=ENGAGED!

I had the honor of photographing this sweet couple who came into town for the celebration of Preston's return home from duty in the Navy. You could see the love between them both, and I couldn't imagine just how much they miss each other when away from another. But here are some of the photos from their session. Enjoy :)

Shooting with Morgan Gentry

A fun therapy shoot with the family :)

We headed out to the lake so i could get the Hubs and the kids with their guitars in the sunset. This was a fun relaxing shoot. Here are a few favorites from that evening :) Enjoy

Norman+Jessica=MARRIED!

Another beautiful couple, with the threats of thunderstorms all day long, the sun came out just long enough for us to grab some photos and the ceremony to take place. They have a special place at Chester Frost Park in Hixson TN and so they knew thats where they wanted to take the first steps to spending the rest of their lives together. I will never forget how excited she was after the ceremony she just saying "your my husband" I cant help from giggling over it, so sweet!! Here is a slide of some sneak peeks from their special day!
Congratulations Norman and Jessica!!!!

Kyle+Megan=MARRIED!

Kyle and Megan have been an awesome couple to work with, the bond between them is amazing, it makes you feel bubbly and excited to see whats next. Love never ceases to amaze me, from their engagement session all the way to their wedding day you knew this couple had it! The day of the wedding was an emotional day for them both as we all know that are married and have already experienced those emotions, it still gets to me with every wedding I get to be part of. They have an amazing family also and everyone wanted to tell them that during the Toast, as you will see in the slide it was amazing! It shows in the photos and when you have the photographer crying you know everyone else feels and sees it also! Thank you Kyle and Megan for allowing me to be part of your adventure to becoming Husband and Wife. I cant wait to get to work with you both again! Congratulations to you both! Im so happy for you!

Looking for Senior Reps!!!

Crystal Dawn Photography Has A New Home!

As many of you know I had a studio in Hixson which I shared space with a dear friend and fellow Photographer. This past month has not been the same and I have missed having a studio so bad, but was getting excited about getting back outdoors soon also :) As I just finished a awesome maternity shoot last week my assistant and I decided to go eat and where we ate I only not LOVED the food, I didnt know that our new studio would be ACROSS the street a couple days later! As we were backing out I looked up and saw this amazing beautiful building with all these windows (7 of them)and knew I had to have it, I wasnt gonna call, BUT did anyway just out of curiosity, well long story short, God doesnt make accidents happen, He had this shoot planned way before I did, he knew I would go to this place to eat, and he knew I would LOVE everything about this new exciting place!!! SO Lets not keep you guessing any longer........... lol! Our new home is in Ringgold!!!! YAY! Yeah maybe a little bit of a drive but its completely worth it :) So I am now accepting studio sessions again! Here are a couple photos Jess took with her point and shoot since I was too excited and couldnt remember I had my camera in the car LoL!
As soon as I get everything painted, setup, hungup, moved in (for the most part is done) and my new beautiful lit up sign is hung I will post some new photos :)

I really cant believe it!

Has it really been almost 2 months since my last post? I need to start keeping a little more up to date I guess, but I have had so many things going on I havent been able to keep up with my blog as much as I would have liked lol So for those of you who have been wondering what I have been doing the last 2 months here is a fast forward lol! I was also featured in the local newspaper so you can see that press release here: on page 5

Here are a couple of recent shoots and weddings :)

Finally! A new Post!

I know Im so sorry Im behind on blogging, I have been so busy, with a few projects that will be revealed next week and alot of editing that I have been busy with I havent been able to keep my blog up, still more to come but here are a few peaks from some sessions from the past month or so.



This Photo just makes me giggle because there is the lil sis and all her big brothers there so we decided to do a lil bride tilt on her lol so fun! This session was very special is was for a special gift for their mother who just turned 65, which I also was very fortunate to photograph, so those sneak peaks will come later, such a sweet Godly woman, awesome to be around, you could tell she just loves her family more than words could say and had no anger with anyone, you dont see that normally these days with any family. She had one of the biggest surprise birthday parties I have ever seen. It was awesome. You will have to wait for those ;)

They named him Oscar I will never forget that because thats our dogs name haha :)

TJ















This is TJ, I have known him since he was a little boy for about 9 years I guess, we went to the same church up until a couple years ago when we made a switch. When his mom scheduled his Senior session we decided to make it a Senior/Girlfriend Session lol such a cutie lol I have always known TJ to be very shy and quiet and to see him with a girlfriend just made me giggle :)

FALL Sessions! I went to Red Clay State Park last month and if you have never been to the park or cant go you really must read the history on it, I remember going when I was in the 3rd grade when I used to live in Cleveland, TN and It still amazes me. Here are a few shots from those sessions. The first 2 shots are just some random shots I grabbed while I was there I had to take a photo of the famous Blue Hole! Read on it its awesome!
