Free to Succeed!

On Thursday night I went to the Free to Succeed tour in Orlando with some photographer friends. Free to Succeed is hosted by the amazing David Jay. If you’ve never seen his wedding work, you have to check him out. He’s right up there at the top of my “photographers that i idolize” list! (Along with Jasmine Star, of course!) It was such an informative conference that is definitely going to help me become a better photographer and a better businesswoman. I’m so thankful for people who are willing to share their stories of success as an inspiration and a model for those of us who are still working on building our businesses.
Here are the girls!

A huge “thank you” to amy for standing next to me in this photo and making me feel a little better about being so short!

(Notice that the photo above is not in focus. It’s funny that in a room full of photographers, you ask someone to take a picture for you, and it comes back out of focus. I had to laugh!)

The man himself, Mr David Jay! He was so funny, so smart, and very humble! (which is a quality not often found in famous photographers!)

Such a great night! I’m glad I got to experience it, and hang out with some great girls in the process :)

Heidi Mitchell - Jordan, I should have photoshopped out those polka dots! bad memories ;)September 9, 2008 – 2:56 am

Ashley McCormick Photography - I can’t believe that photo is out of focus…lol that’s hilarious! Oh, and thanks for retouching me (if you did) otherwise, I looked pretty good that night! ;)September 8, 2008 – 2:29 am

Zion – 5 months

This weekend I photographed Zion for the first time. He is 5 months old, but his mommy just found me, so we are starting his first year program now. I will get to go back when he’s 8 months and then also for his 1 year session. After his 1 year session, we’re going to make a great memory book with his mom & dad’s favorite photos! Zion is his daddy’s future linebacker. He’s a big boy, but that will come in handy when he’s a famous football player one day :) I’m so glad I got the chance to meet Zion and his family! We had such a great time together, and I’m looking forward to capturing the rest of his first year of life!

Zion’s mom had coordinating pj’s all ready for them to wear!

He loved being naked! Look at that smile :)

Checking out his mobile. Doesn’t he look like a Baby Gap model in this outfit? Love it!

I’m pretty sure he’s going to hate me for this picture in about 15 years :)

Not too sure about the bear.

Can’t wait to see you guys again!

Heidi Mitchell - I’m so glad everyone likes them :) The rest of the photos will be up soon!September 3, 2008 – 2:38 pm

Mamaw - I adore the family shot! He’s so big!! The happiness shows in the naked photo…you can almost hear him squealing!! Way to go, Heidi!September 2, 2008 – 2:37 pm

williamsic - So cute, Heidi. We love them! I can’t wait to see the rest. You did such a great job; so patient with him. You rock!!September 2, 2008 – 1:28 pm

Mary Marantz - omigosh! he IS gonna be a football player some day!! wowza! what a cutie…I love the naked smiling picture!! :)

Avva – 3 month

This week I went back to photograph little Avva for her 3 month session. I photographed her for the first time when she was only 2 weeks old! (There’s a 2 week photo posted first below) What a sweet baby! Both times I’ve photographed her she’s been perfect! She gives me about an hour before she tells me that the session is over ;) I’m looking forward to going back for her 6 month and 12 month sessions!
Here she is at her 2 week old session.

And here she is now at 3 months! Notice that her dress matches her bed :)

Sitting up with a little help from the Bumbo Seat

You HAVE to love that face! So sweet!

She is a little chatter box. She talked to me the whole session!

Smiling at her daddy :)

These pictures are extra special because she’s sitting in her mom’s first rocking chair. 


See you again in a few months, Avva!

Couture Christmas Cards are here!

Tis the Season! (almost) Okay, so I know it’s only August, but it really is time to think about your Christmas cards! I am so excited to announce a new line of Couture Christmas cards. These cards are amazing! They are chic and contemporary, and I hope you’re all going to love them as much as I do!

In celebration of the Couture Christmas cards, I am announcing a new special. If you book your Couture Christmas session between now and November 1st, you will get your session plus 35 cards for only $200! That’s a $50 savings! Call or email me right away to schedule your session because this season books quickly.

There are 5 styles to choose from. I have posted examples of each style below using some photos from recent sessions :) All wording can be customized to say exactly what you want. For each style, I have posted the front view, inside view, and back view. Also, if you want to use photos from a recent session with me instead of booking a new session, just let me know! I can get you a custom quote for the amount of cards you need. Enjoy!
