1940’s Themed Class Photo Shoot!
On 10/9 we photographed an awesome 1940’s themed shoot for Karen Hall & Company!! Karen holds make-up artistry classes a few times a year and as part of the student’s training, they’re involved in a live photo shoot at the end of the class and that’s where we come in! Jessica Kersey did an AMAZING job style directing this shoot and ALL of Karen’s hair stylists, make-up artists, models and students totally knocked this out of the park! The props, outfits, looks, hair & make-up ALL looked SO authentic!! I LOVED IT! 🙂
I think my favorite part of this shoot is how real everything looked in person and through the camera. If you think back to old photographs that you’ve seen from the 40’s and 50’s, most of them are so faded and in need of restoration. I’ve always wondered what they would look like using today’s camera equipment, editing styles, etc. The result of this shoot is exactly what I think they would look like in today’s world! GORGEOUS!! 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!! 🙂
Hot!!
Vintage suitcases were perfect for this scene!
It’s a 1950’s style slumber party!
This reminds me of Desperate Housewives! LOL
GREAT job ladies!!! You all rock!! 🙂
Heather + Jon = Engaged!
On 10/2, we met up with Heather & Jonathan at the canal downtown for their engagement session! They surprised us with a really neat save the date idea, check out this awesome Scrabble save the date!! LOVE IT!! 🙂
They are super cute together and a lot of fun!!
We headed over to the Government Center to get a couple of cool shots in front of the State House – love it! 🙂
The canal is such a pretty place for a photo shoot!
The ducks are SO tame!! LOL We brought along some crackers and I thought they would take them from their hands!
Snuggle!! 🙂
Favorite!!
Thanks for a great time you guys! More pics coming soon! 😉
Cortney + TJ = Married!
On 10/1 we photographed Cortney & TJ’s beautiful wedding & reception at Lumiere du Corps! Cortney has the most gorgeous green eyes, she could definitely be a model! 🙂 She had a stunning Demetrios dress to top it off, she looked amazing!!
I foresee this on the cover a magazine, don’t you? 😉 WOW…
Cortney and all of her lovely ladies…
They had a harpist (one of my faves, Elizabeth Ahlgrim!) perform for their prelude & ceremony. I LOVE the sound of the harp, especially for an outdoor wedding, it sounds so angelic! 🙂
Proud daddy 🙂
TJ was happy to finally see his bride! 🙂
Exchanging vows 🙂
YAY!
I loved her flowers, each rose had some bling in it! Royal Creations did a great job on their flowers!
Cortney & TJ are so adorable together!!

Spinning his bride!
I loved their centerpieces! Debra Pope of Jameson Creations did a great job with planning and executing Cortney’s vision for the ceremony & reception!
How cool is it that their monogram initials spell out “TLC”?! Love that! 🙂
So happy together!
A sweet mother/son moment 🙂
Loved their bling!! 🙂
They were pros at the heart sparkler shot! 🙂

Jade + Ryan = Engaged!
On 9/29, we photographed Jade & Ryan’s engagement session at Holcomb Gardens at the Butler campus. They are two of the sweetest people who are so totally in love with each other, you can really tell how much they adore one another and I love that! 🙂
A little mid-morning sun flare 🙂
They’re so cute together! I can’t wait for their wedding next year! 🙂

Cassie’s Baby Shower!
On 9/25 we photographed the most beautiful baby shower EVER for our friends Deborah Bowman & Cassie Smith from A Touch of Elegance! Cassie held her shower at D’Amore, one of our favorite venues, and it looked STUNNING! They had blue uplighting with crystals hanging from the ceiling…
And an adorable diaper cake (that they made!) along with their adorable invitations…
Everything was so personalized, I loved it!
Jamee Bryant from Setting the Mood did an AMAZING job on the candy buffet! Everyone loved it!
Yummy treats!!
The dining area looked gorgeous! Angie Kenley from Bokay did a fabulous job on the flowers!
Deborah rented these amazing chair sashes from Wildflower Linen, my all time favorite linen provider!!
Each place setting was perfect! 🙂
More stunning flowers from Bokay!
Best baby shower EVER! Deborah & Cassie sure know how to throw a gorgeous, elegant party!
Paige from Sweet Seductions did a fabulous job on her cake!
Kathy Hershberger played lullaby music on the violin as guests entered the room…
Deborah welcomed everyone to the shower…
John & I put together a DVD slideshow of photos set to music so that their guests could enjoy seeing some of their maternity photos before having lunch and opening gifts. It was a huge hit! 🙂
Love this one! John caught Dustin in the other room watching the slideshow too… 🙂
Guests were greeted with amazing appetizers like these kettle chips with white cheddar and an edible monogram!
They were also offered a blue sunken cotton candy signature drink! Super cool!
Lunch was equally amazing…they had different “craving stations” that featured all kinds of foods that Cassie has been craving throughout her pregnancy! They had a salsa bar/taco station, mini gourmet burgers, cheese fries with ranch dressing, buffalo chicken with macaroni & bleu cheese and a salad station! Lots of yummy options for their guests!
To top it off, they even had a dessert station featuring these adorable pie pops in several different flavors, blue cotton candy and the yummy cake from Sweet Seductions! Guests LOVED it!
Grayson received so many wonderful goodies that day!
Cassie opened gifts after lunch and one of our mutual clients (Cayla & her mom) came up with the idea to clothespin their gifts on a rope and place it in a basket. When she unfolded it all, it stretched across the room and featured so many adorable outfits and useful things for Cassie & Dustin! It was awesome!! 🙂
BFF photo!! 🙂 (Deborah, Cassie & Karen together) We all had such a fun time that day! Cassie looked adorable in her custom dress from Dianne at A Fitting Creation. We also had the chance to work with videographers Jet & Dani Kaiser again, they are so sweet and laid back, they’re always a lot of fun to work with! It was like a big get together with a lot of vendor friends that day…so fun! 🙂
Thanks for allowing us to capture the most awesome baby shower ever!! 🙂 Can’t wait to capture Grayson’s arrival this week too!! XOXO
