I seriously cannot remember a time in my life when I didn’t know Beth. When my family moved to East TN when I was 4 years old, I recall meeting Beth & being friends since. If my memory is correct, to celebrate her 5th birthday, we ate at McDonalds & then her mom took all of us to Chattanooga to a Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus. Good times I tell you!
After high school we kept in touch mainly through others although I’ve always considered her a great friend. Beth & her husband, Spencer, live in Nashville & have a beautiful little girl named Gray. She emailed me recently & we’ve been trying to schedule a shoot since December but due to sickness & weather we’ve had to postpone several times. Yet, we were finally able to make our photo shoot happen on Friday when the Boyers came in to town. We headed down to E.G. Fisher Library, grabbed a blanket & some books, & enjoyed the great weather. I had a great time with the Boyers & it was such a pleasure to meet Spencer & Gray & to catch up with Beth. Hopefully this won’t be the last time you see them on the blog! Thanks Boyers for allowing me to share the morning with you!
Here are some of my favs… enjoy!
What a good looking family! Spencer & Beth are quite fit… they make me want to get back into the gym!
Oh yes… Gray was all about wearing my Elvis glasses.
Clearly one of my favorites! Love the little rain boots… this really shows Gray’s personality.
I talked Beth & Spencer into sneaking off for a second so I could get some pics of just the two of them.
Don’t you just love this!!
