It's just Peachy!

Well 5 days ago the newest member to the Family arrived. My brother and fiance were blessed with a healthy baby girl! I can not begin to say how excited I was.  I photograph others blessings all the time, so to see on closer to me personally was an awesome change of pace!

 

Well, from the day I knew Georgia was to be a girl.. and named Georgia.. my photographer brain envisioned a  Georgia Peach theme.   I love to play off names or interests.  I had no idea it would spread, Gram-ma already is calling baby girl peaches!  Who knew ... right. So although I am swamped with sessions and editing I had to share this personal family / photographed event.

I loved this session

 This little guy was awesome... I loved the session. He was sooo good.  I have a lot of fun working with his family. It is always great to get to enjoy a  session outdoors as well.

 I think he was posing for this one lol....

Loved the tub time fun!

Instagram Fun To Come SOON!

Like everyone else in America ... I have become addicted to Instagram! 

As I have noticed in a trend of my own as well as others.... Photographs on Instagram are of food, fun times, family, friends, pets and more!  I got to thinking... what will happen to all these cherished images I took when I didn't Have My DSLR with me?  So I decided to try to print these through my photo Lab! From some phones,  its possible to print rather large, some say up to 16x16... I decided for my first project I would print them as 3x3.   I will be blogging and hopefully pinning these fun crafts to show many ways to display the awesome fun on the images... 

In case anyone is wondering for sessions.....

I can do professional style square images in studio and on location, that are unique and cool as well.  

 Yes, Photographing lunch is OK!

 Achievements too!

 Pets that are not  having their images taken!

 To things that make us laugh!

 Times with friends!

 Yummy treat!

 Getting to help others...

 Don't forget the pets!

 Everyone has to have one of the self taken cheesers!

 Places you go!

 Favorite things!

To time with your friends! { on here 2x's... must be important }

Happy  Birthday soon, to another little guy I have shot with for most of this year... I got to do yet another smash Cake session today... Love them!  The kids do as well!  As I have said before, it lets them just play and have some fun!  I have to say, the awesome eye's on this baby just sparkle when he smiles!  I was also amazed, this baby , whom is the youngest of my 1 year old  group for this year.... can do some walk-en!  So, happy Birthday Jaxon. I would not, could not, help but smile all the way through this session!

Want to look a little thinner for your next session/event?

Here is a small list of things you can do to look a little more slender for your next occasion/ shoot.  First : Choose a photographer that knows some corrective posing.  {hint, if they act confused at the word, they don't know what it is. }  Second : For 48 to 72 hours or so before your session, wedding, etc... Salt is the enemy!  You can skip those packaged meals etc for a few days to look awesome right?  Some people say they look/ feel inches smaller when doing this alone!  Third: Hydrate!   Water, fruit like watermelon, grapes, apples, berries! This is awesome all the time...but most importantly for 48+ hours before session/event! Forth: Make sure clothes are not too big or too small, I guarantee, people will be able to tell if your sucking it in...so be aware of this in the dressing room when choosing apparel..baggy clothing can add lbs as well.  Lastly : Find time to De-stress, you will carry your body more elegantly  if you are not stressed... a massage, a Epsom salts bath, a soak in a hot tub, sauna, or other such activity the day before is helpful.  

I will be sharing some tips on things to do for your skin in a future blog. I am always looking for vendors to help with tips and products that work for customers.... Customers can also share what has worked for them...

I was so happy to do Alana's 3 month session today. I feel like it was only a week ago we did the newborn session!    She  is  sweet little baby!  I loved this shot, it's just not often you get sleepy shots at this age, and I was pleased that we did! I am falling into my niche area's in photography over the years, and babies are a big part of that!  I love that I get to watch these sweet angels grow up!  It's always an honor to be made a part of a family's life in this way!  To be trusted to capture their precious memories and help preserve them forever! I find myself looking forward to each visit with new ideas! TY ...

O, How  I love fun Weddings.

 

  This awesome cake was made by : http://www.facebook.com/sweetcakesbakery.andria { Sweet Cakes Bakery Andria }.  I would have to say between the brides awesome style and the Bakery, this cake was delightful.  Family and friends of the bride and groom can view all their wedding images on my site : http://mtmphotographycustomedits.smugmug.com/Portraits/Wedding/Kristina-and-Mike-2012-wedding/23751743_J2bb82#!i=1923697046&k=VcxmXpV ... Also feel free to show them some love on Facebook! : http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150850410512237.391955.192322142236&type=3....

 I loved how fun this bride and groom were.... This shot made my day!  They were sooo sweet and sooo fun!

Being fun was a requirement in this group! 

 The girls at Street Light Styles Did an awesome Job on the hair...The girls looked so pretty!

 Kendyl  has been coming to my studio since she was a newborn baby. Though the year I have photographed her as she grew.  She has been a wonderful and happy baby to photograph and I look forward to seeing her through the years... Its always sad when they hit the year mark though, we see their cute faces a little less often.  So coming up really soon... Happy Birthday Miss Kendyl!

When I was asked by this bride to photograph her wedding, I was excited as usual... I love collaborating on weddings with fun and beautiful brides!  I was surprised when I arrived at the church though....It was like a class reunion.....I was photographing a wedding for a former classmate, as well as a bridal party full of  old classmates and other awesome people...This wedding was a blast.....But this was not the most amazing part.... I saw something that day, while all brides and grooms are in love.... these two had something I don't see often .... even though the day was rushed, we had very limited time, and all was hectic... never once did They ever seem frustrated or annoyed.  This is rare because most all couples get a little cranky under pressure ... but not these two....they were very patient and aware of each others needs... reminding me of the couples I have met that have been together for 50 years... so, before I get all teary eyed ... I would just like to say... Congrats Steve and Jamie!!!

 Babies and toddlers are so fun, I am forever adding new props, backdrops, and other items! This age is soooo, fun!

 I really enjoy working with themes... This is from a sports theme session... Loved it!

 I love to spot light sessions with timelines! This is from one of my prom sessions! Thanks, you rocked!

I have photographed these wonderful toddlers for 3 years now! I love to watch these kids grow! I love my job, and the people I meet!
