New Logo

Well it seems like all I do it edit and create Logos for other people. I have been struggling with my "new" logo for several months, I wanted something colorful and fun, but then I would change my mind every time. Needless to say at the end of it all this niffy little guy is what I came up with, so simple and shic. Now the Ironic thing about this logo is that I HATE BIRDS... with a passion. or well they hate me I think, LOL...But that empty space just didnt look good with anything else up there. Now I have my classy, shic, modern, yet southern logo and Hopefully my indecisive self will stick with it!  ENJOY

I heart Faces | Sun flare challenge

I have never been a direct sun light kind of photographer, There is always a certain window of time I like to shoot to avoid the bright harsh sun, squinty eyes, and huge shadows...I mean I can always photo shop a sun flare into the photo if need be...HOWEVER, this day, It was rather chilly so shooting in the middle of the day when it was going to be the warmest was a no brainer !!!

 

I HEART FACES | Photo Challenge

This week over at I HEART FACES the photo challenge it HEARTS...with a face of course. I really don't have that much to motivate me being couped up in the house because of all the Rain and Cold weather. So I took the opportunity to make that Pile of warm,clean clothes that my napping tot curled up in into a HEART...ENJOY...

I {HEART} Faces - Silhouettes Photo Contest

Family {{ The Gayheart's }}

Dana contacted me via my website one day and on the form that is filled out, it ask HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT ME?  she said she saw a magnet on a car at church... WOW..My First Car Door Magnet Client ! lol... anyways, it was such a pleasure meeting and photographing her and her beautiful family. They are some of the prettiest people I have ever seen..Inside and out !  Lucas was wide open an excited to be outside and ready to run. Little miss Hadley and her blue eyes and blonde hair is drop head gorgeous ! Here are a few from their session...as always. ENJOY !!!

What Im doing an hour before the session...

I have an event to shoot tonight and I'm double booked for tomorrow, and there are only so many things you can do until the day of the shoot....So while I’m just taking a breather from my preparations to write this post and let other photographers know what I’m doing to prepare. It’s one hour until our session and I’m…
•Looking over all of our emails to make sure I remember their names, the details of the session and promises I’ve made about what they can expect for their session.

•Going through these emails, I remember that it’s their 25th Anniversary today! Must stop on my way and pick up flowers & chocolates.

•Printing client information forms.

•Looking through my inspiration folder and dragging ideas I’m really ‘feeling’ into my Droid (cell phone) photos folder so I can have them on hand if inspiration dries up.

•Doing all the typical battery/memory card checks and packing my bags.

•Giving my lens a clean.

•Having a snack even though I’m not hungry (yet). I can get pretty shaky when I’m hungry so I should juice up now.

•I’m out of batteries! Must leave 5 mins early just in case I need them for my flash.

It pays to ALWAYS be prepared... and my philosophy is that being on time is being late, BUT being early is being on time...

1st Place in the County Meet

Just wanted to take a second and shout out to my nephew Blake Calvert... He did an awesome job this past week at the cross county cullman county meet. I dont remember what his time was, but I do know that this course was a tuff one and ALL the kids did great. However Blake won First Place for the varsity boys and I could NOT be more proud of him, he is an awesome athlete, he is getting better and better and if he sticks with this he has a very bright future ahead... GO BLAKESTER !

We are super dooper proud of ya ~
Jackie, Darrin, and the girls
