I think its easy for a lot of brides to lose focus with their weddings. They get so wrapped up in the exact right shade of pink that the whole day becomes more of a production than a true celebration. Mandi is the opposite. She prepared and expected for some things to not be exactly right. She laughed when there were a few bumps in the road and when things couldn’t go exactly as planned, she laughed and shrugged. Mandi is a dream bride. 🙂
Adam isn’t so bad himself, but I do have to admit I had a great laugh as he is totally superstitious and absolutely PANICKED about seeing Mandi before the ceremony. If I wasn’t a nicer person, I would have totally played it up and made him actually hide!
We had such an amazing time with them both and I love how much they focused on their relationship, their friendships and their families.

Emily was the winner of our Cutest Kid Contest! I was so excited to photograph her before she goes off to Kindergarten in just a few weeks! Emily might me a little girl, but she has personality by the truckload! I swear I thought the images would be blurry because she had me laughing so hard!

You can absolutely tell I am the mother of small children… any time I see Olivia is on the calendar, the theme song of the cartoon “Olivia” get stuck in my head! So even though her session was a few days ago, I am still here in my chair humming! Even though I am plagued with the song, its so worth it for one of Miss Olivia’s sweet smiles!

No matter how hard you try, you cannot script children. You cannot refine them or make them anything other than who they authentically are. Brady was so himself– he cracked me up nonstop. He played with just about every toy we have here at the studio and gave me that kid-smile that resembles more of a growling grimace than actual happiness. Needless to say, he was adorable!

Y’all have probably already seen a glimpse of our new project on the blog, but I am so excited to formally announce our next portrait special– Angel Babies!
On Saturday, August 28th from 8am until 4pm, angels will be taking over our studio! We are offering angel themed mini portrait sessions for children under the age of 3 for only $29. This will be the ONLY time this year that we will be using our angel costumes, so if you are looking to capture those innocent faces, now is the time!
You are welcome to bring your own outfits– or use one of ours! We have a wide array of tutus, pettiskirts, overalls, etc. Each session can accommodate one outfit, so browse through the blog for ideas or drop us a line for help!
Sessions are by appointment only and are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. The session can be for a single child or up to two siblings. Children must be able to sit unassisted! Session fee includes the studio portrait session, artist grade retouching, in studio order session and online gallery. To schedule your session, call the studio at 850.339.5799 with a Visa, Mastercard or Discover card and we will get a time reserved for you!
