Katie Class of 2011

I love Senior Season... and I especially love it becuase of sweet people like Katie. Katie was so quiet and reserved in the beginning of the session but as we dodged cars and watched as many crayons bravely gave up their lives for the perfect shot the true Katie came out!!!! Then the fun started - after hours of scouting all the perfect locations possible from Pelham through to Tallahassee we came back home exahusted and full of beautiful images!!!!! I can't believe you are old enough to be a senior Katie but you sure are one of the most beautiful ones I know!!!!!

Seniors Close To My Heart

There are several things in my life that make me glad I am a photographer. One of them is when I am privilledged enought to take portraits of families that are close to my heart. This is one of those cases. This young man gives me an extremem hope for the future. His head and his heart are in the right place and I pray that he will continue to follow God in his life and I know he will go so far. Thanks J for giving us a chance to photograph this special time in your life.

Sassy Seniors

There are certain Seniors that people look forward to photograping. It may be because they are beautiful inside and out and it truly shows in pictures, or it may be because the person themselves are very special to them. Both are the case with this senior. M has sucha rare mix of beauty on the inside and out - her love for riding is evident and her comfort level her at the barn is amazing to me. It seems like a home away from home for her. But the best part of taking M' sportraits is that she is one of my best friend's children. Seeing her through her eyes truly makes her beauty stand out. Thanks M - it was a blast!!!!!

L was so great when he came out to do his Senior pictures. He was alot of fun but the funniest part is that he had to do all his modeling while his brothers played around him...a shot for L...a shot of all the guys...but i worked not only were we able to get awesome Senior Shots of him but in the process we got great shots of the two little ones as well...A model and an entertainer!!!! Thanks L!!!!

This beautiful senior got her pictures today and I realized one of her pictures went out unrendered - this is the part we do the best- we - well mostly Steve takes the images and works his magic in photoshop. so sorry J - here is you updated image...

When did I become a stalker?????

Yes it is true- It is officail - I am a stalker. I have been shamelessly following serveral people lately and it is time I finally came clean. So here it is...Hi, I am Laurie and I am a blog stalker. I love to read blogs!!!!! I am addicited!!!! So much so I even have them sent to my email for ease and speed. Which blogs do I stalk you may ask...mostly photography ones...tips and tutorials...also some other incredible photograhers I have found along the way - usually the ones with the good stories - and the worst part is I will start with one - hyperlink to another and an hour later I yell at myself!!!!! But I will say this I feel like you all benefit as in my own humble opinion my pictures keep getting better - or atleast they are changing. Ok - so the point to all of this rambling is - I know that there are several of you out there who are the same as I am only you are blog stalking here. I know because I finally figured out google analytics and I can see the numbers every day... I will admit they are not huge numbers but we do not live in a huge area - we are a small communtiy so small is fine with me. But here is the thing...I want to know how I can make your addiction worthwhile. I have though of offering some specials available only to those who check the blog or even running a blog contest every so often... but if I am wrong and the stalkers are only my family and my best friend - Hey Tanya - then what's the use? So leve a comment here over the next week or so and let me know you are out there and tell me what other things you would like to see on the blog. Would you like more personal stories - or less stories - more background on the clients and their story - product offereings - giveaways - what is it? Thanks ahead of time... we want to be as good as we can be at what we do... (who knows maybe our firs giveaway will start with this post)



and PS - Mom, Dad - you are not qualified to enter!!!!! Sorry!!



and PSS - a picture is always needed so here is one from me... (my adorable new nephew has already perfected the "I said, 'NO MORE PICTURES" look. Isn't he adorable!!!!!!

Who has more fun than me?????

Ok I have no idea who was more fun - J her mom or her dad. Bless her heart. It is hard enough having to be a perfect model when the paparatzi lights keep flashing in your face, but when you dad is making cracks every 2 seconds. But J was AWESOME!!!!! and her smile can light up an entire room. We are so lucky to have such great seniors!!! Congrats J!!!!!!

It's Senior Time!!!!!

I know I talk about all the things I love - and lately I have been on quite a baby kick - but I have to say I AM SO HAPPY IT IS SENIOR TIME AGAIN!!!!! I love how awesome our seniors are - I do not know how we do it - but each year we seem to get the best looking guys and girls aroud. This young man is absolutly no exception - I was lucky enough to photograph his baby sister - who was a awesome model herself - but now I know where she gets it!!!!!! Just look at the shots - need I say more?
