My favorite class in elementary school was always PE (Physical Education)… gym class. My friends & I lived for gym class. I mean really, what’s not to love about playing kickball, soccer, basketball, flag football, four-square & calling it educational?! These are the things we boys lived for. But, there were always days in gym class that were the worst… when a girl beats your time in the mile run. Laura was that girl who could always humble the guys when it came to distance running. Plus, she was crazy smart!
Well, she still is crazy smart! Laura & her husband, Mike, live in Chattanooga, TN where she practices law & he is in restaurant management. They recently welcomed their little guy Andrew Thurman Ketcham to the world. What a cute little man! I greatly enjoyed seeing Laura again & getting to know Mike better… a great guy!
It was such a pleasure to meet up with the Ketcham family at their home on Thursday to capture this season of their lives. Thanks Ketcham family!

Andrew’s nursery is amazing… really well done!
I love shooting from the perspective of the baby… Andrew has these little monkeys to keep him company!


Mike is such a proud daddy… plus, he’s got great ideas that really added to the session. I told him I was going to have to take him to sessions with me.
Love that little bottom lip sticking out… he wasn’t the biggest fan of having to have his diaper changed.

Love this perspective!

The whole family!
Doesn’t Laura look lovely!
