Before we continue with Vicki Hallman’s Senior pics, I have to go back to July and the Tartaro Family.  I photographed them right before I decided to focus strictly on High School Seniors.

Then, the months got away from me and I realized that I never shared this cute little family session with you!

Thanks to my mother for tagging along that morning.  She was a huge help, as always!

See you back here soon for more High School Seniors!!

 

Helloooo!!!

Sorry, I have taken so long to blog again…and no, I haven’t been off buying more shoes!! Well…maybe just one more pair of Iron Fist Shoes made it into my closet, but that’s a story for another blog post.  :)

Last month started my busy, busy time for sessions.  You’ll remember the Cunningham family from previous posts.  This time though, I got to photograph the extended family as well. While the day was mostly about little Mia, it’s easy to see where she gets her posing skills from with all the beautiful smiles in this family.  :)

This is the third time that I have photographed little Mia in a year.  Each time, I would say she has gotten more and more comfortable with me and the camera.  Let  me tell you though, this time, Mia busted out some moves like she has been watching America’s Next Top Model!

I know I mentioned that I would catch up on blogging, but first I need to share how I spent this past Sunday with the Cofer Family.  Christy and I have been talking for a couple of months and I was so excited to finally meet her.  I met the family early in the morning in Downtown Winder.  I was very happy to see all the cool old buildings in this town!  I just love little towns with so much character.  I will definitely have to go back.

Christy and her beautiful family were up for anything I asked and were so great about going to a variety of locations in a short amount of time.

Little Brady was such a ham.  He totally loved posing for the camera.  He didn’t need a reason, but it certainly didn’t hurt when I brought out a bag of foam toys.

My favorite spot of the day was behind the buildings near an alley.  My mother actually found it and I am so glad she did!

Christy did mention that she wanted to try to get a few pics of her and her husband Jimmy.  Luckily, since my mother was with me, she kept the boys occupied while I got a few of them alone.  This one is my favorite!

Thanks to the Cofer family for hanging out with me and making my job so easy and thanks to my mother for tagging along and helping out!  :)

I had no idea how close to impossible picking only ten would be!  
I literally started writing down every favorite and my piece of paper is a mess because I kept writing more and more.   So many things were great about this year and the people that allowed me to photograph their lives and memories.   Picking only ten pictures was incredibly difficult, but I narrowed it down as best as I could.   I ended up with 20 instead of 10.  Honestly, it could have been 50 though.  :)
I have noticed that seldom is my favorite the same as a client favorite.   I’m not sure how or why that is, but we all have very different opinions and I’m learning that more and more as I photograph people.   Why I choose a favorite could be a number of reasons: composition, texture, a certain look caught unexpectedly, or the way I got the shot that I didn’t think that I could.  Mostly, it’s how the picture makes me feel.  What type of emotion it has…whether a person is in the picture or not.  I know that sounds strange but I have to look at a picture and have it wow me.  I hope that in the course of this year, I have wowed you a little bit through my work.  It’s been a wonderful year and I truly thank all of you who have trusted me enough to be part of capturing your memories.

Happy New Year to you all and I hope you are looking forward to 2011 as much as I am!

Well, it’s November now and the year is flying by!  I’m getting ready to start one of my busiest months having a session every weekend!  Everyone wants to get pics done for their Christmas cards.  I only hope the weather cooperates since we don’t have too many weekends to accomplish this!
Before I get too busy, I wanted to share some pics from sessions from the past few months that I haven’t had a chance to blog about yet.  


First up, Melissa & Jamin.  I really loved the location – lots of cool architectural elements.  Melissa wanted to specifically do more night shots than day shots, which I have no problem with since I actually prefer those.   I think we got some cool daytime ones though as well.

Next is the Crowder Family.  I have always wanted to do a session at the fair.  I was so excited when they liked the idea too.  Shooting at a fair definitely has it’s challenges with all the different lights and movement.  If you get it right though, you can end up with some beautiful pictures and lots of fun!

Lastly, I photographed my friend Melissa’s daughter’s birthday.  I think I was more excited about this birthday than one of my own!  It’s such a cute idea, that it made me want to be a little girl again.   The party was held at Snip-its.  The party includes all the little girls getting to play dress up, get their hair and make up done and then finally, ending with a walk down the runway.  How fabulous is that??  :)

That’s all for now.   Can’t wait to share all my upcoming holiday sessions!

Hailey celebrated her birthday last week and her parents wanted to have some pictures to remember the occasion.  Unfortunately, I was out of town for her birthday party, so we met up early last week for some pre-birthday pictures.   

I can’t say she was loving having her own personal paparazzi especially with all the fun stuff to explore at the park.  
I bet you next year will be a different story though.   
After all, what little girl doesn’t love having her picture taken?!?  :)

I have been so busy lately that I totally forgot to post some pics from my friend Teri’s graduation party.  It seems like she has been in nursing school forever and finally she has graduated!!  Tomorrow is a big test day for her – so good luck Teri!!  

 Good luck Teri!

It was so much fun doing this session!  
I used to work with Lisa many years ago, so we did a lot of catching up too.  
This was the first time that I had met the rest of the family though.  
We had a bit of a hot, humid day, but that didn’t stop Mia – she posed like a champ!

I’ve known Jamie & Niki for years, so it was a lot of fun spending the afternoon photographing them and cute little Kyler.  
Doesn’t he have the most beautiful big brown eyes?!?!  and I absolutely love the cute little outfit Jamie and Niki picked for him!

It’s almost impossible to pick a few favorites from this birthday party.   With ponies, bunnies, tug-of-war, and so many cute little kids running around, you couldn’t help but to always have a smile on your face.  One little girl even said, “All of my dreams came true today!”  How sweet is that?!?  icon smile The Sorbet Family ~ {Douglasville, Georgia Birthday Party Photographer}

Melissa & Michael will be getting married this year in June and I’m so excited for the two of them.   I tagged along a couple of weeks ago for dress shopping with the bride to be.  I really felt like I was part of the TLC show “Say Yes to the Dress.”   It was a lot of fun!

I’m not going to show the dress Melissa picked, because that is her surprise to share.  For me, the best part of the day, besides seeing all the fabulous dresses, was watching her daughter’s reaction every time she saw her mother try on a dress.  That was truly priceless…

It’s been soooo busy the last several months, that I got a little behind updating the blog.  With the holidays and becoming a new puppy parent, I haven’t told you all about the Carpenter family and their holiday photo session.  

I have known the Carpenter family for several years now.  In December, they added their own new addition, Bogey, a dog they adopted from their local humane society.  With Christmas coming and a new doggie, what a great time to take family pictures!   Unfortunately, it was the first super cold weekend of the season, so we really didn’t get to do many outdoor pictures as I had hoped, but I think we got some really great ones regardless.
