Wishing all the moms a wonderful day! Motherhood is such an amazing job, role, and blessing. Grateful for my mom, my clients that are moms, and all the moms out there who have made a difference in my life. ENJOY, and celebrate the gift of motherhood today.
You may remember this sweet girl’s face from her birthday session just a few weeks ago. This time around, I got to hang out with big brother too! We had so much fun running around at Milligan College. We ran – a lot – and I even got tackled a few times. Those are my favorite sessions! Loved working with you all again and I hope you enjoy your images!

I am excited to be starting a new feature on my blog about local businesses that moms love! The first business I chose to feature is one of my most favorite places ever and is run by 2 of my favorite people ever. Welcome to Bear n Friends of Kingsport!
Anna and Larry Rogers own and operate Bear n Friends in Kingsport. And 5 month old Vivian owns and operates Anna and Larry! 
Bear n Friends was started in 1994 in Johnson City and the Kingsport store was opened in 2008. Larry states, “Because the Johnson City store is owned by Debbie, and the Kingsport store is owned by us, we may carry slightly different products. Our family feuds are over toys!” They say that they pick their toys based mainly on intuition. They go with what they like, and it it isn’t up to par, then they drop it. You will find a wide variety of toys for ALL ages (grown up kids too!) in their store.
Larry’s favorite toy currently in the store is the Beam-o (giant frisbee you can see hanging from the ceiling in the picture above). Anna loves the Whipple to make cupcakes. And they both are loving the new game Tenzi (pictured below). My husband and I can also vouch for Tenzi! We love it!
When asked what he loves the most about running his own toy store, Larry says ,”I love the freedom and challenges associated with running my own business but the most overwhelming reward has come recently with the birth of our baby girl and the support and love of the community.”
Be sure to visit Bear n Friends in East Stone Commons in Kingsport – moving soon to downtown! I promise you won’t be disappointed with the quality of toys, helpfulness of the owners, and the cuteness of the baby you will find hanging out!
Thanks to Larry and Anna for being my first featured business, and for being such great friends.
Stay tuned for more features like this in the future. And if you know of a business you would like to see featured, let me know!

As if this little guy hadn’t already stolen my heart (he is our neighbor), he completely won me over at our session last weekend. The child did every single thing I asked him to do, laughed, smiled, and was, simply put, a charmer. I need for him to give my little guy some tutoring on a successful photo shoot! Saheim, you were so awesome and I hope your mommy and daddy love your images! See you in the ‘hood!

Happy Birthday Kaylyn! It was so much fun meeting up with this cutie for her Birthday Club shoot last weekend. She started out kinda shy, but I eventually won her over and got some great smiles (Ok, well maybe the balloons and cupcakes helped…but I still think I might have had a little bit to do with it!). Can’t wait to hang out with you and your big brother in just a couple of weeks!
