New Studio + Amazing Husband!

First of all I have to start by saying....I HAVE AN AMAZING HUSBAND! Not only did the cringe when I mentioned starting this project but he started and finished it in under three weeks! And, NO I didn't hassle him about it! I am so proud of the way my studio looks and I can't wait for my first in studio clients to see it on Monday.
So, on that note, I am revealing the new CAPture.it Photography Studio.............

I have asked Santa for a computer desk and these AWESOME zebra print window panels. I hope he listened to my request! :o)

Thanks again Chris for my new studio.....I LOVE YOU!

The Falwell Family

On Sunday I had the privilege to photograph these wonderful and FUN families! There was not one dull moment with this crew. Here is a little peek into our day.

Before and After - Outside

Here are the before and after pictures of Phase 1 of the studio. The outside is done, now for the inside. I hope that goes as quickly! :0)

New Studio

Well, I am pretty excited today. With everything that is going on and will be going on, I am in need of a larger space. I was adamant on working out of my home so the only solution was to make my own space within our house. I have quickly outgrown the front room/office because my backdrops and lighting equipment take up way too much room not to mention an 8, 4 and 1 year old running around. So, the only solution was to inclose our attached garage and make it my studio. Today is officially groundbreaking day! Hopefully, within two or three weeks my studio will be in working mode. It is going to be pretty awesome if I do say so myself. I am going with the black, brown and cream color scheme and the studio will contain a reception area, actual studio and office area. I will officially have plenty of room for indoor studio portraits! YEAH! I will keep you posted on the happenings and stay tuned for the official OPEN HOUSE! I will also post some before, during and after shots.

I love you, honey, and thanks for making my dream come true! muah.....

The Hodnett Family

Do you want to know how to get men to take pictures? You let them bring their "toys" along! Actually, my mission in capturing family pictures is for them to be as natural as possible. And if that means bringing the Harley along for a ride, then I am all for it. We managed to get some AWESOME pictures with the bike today. I can't tell you how much fun I had with them today. I am so looking forward to our Spring session. Here is a little sneak peek into our "Hodnett Harley Session" from today.

The Davis Family

I really had a great weekend full of sessions with fun families. The best part of my profession is being able to capture the fun times that families have. The Davis family was no exception. As you can tell these two girls are full of themselves and were hams for the camera. Minus the wind, the day was perfect!

Hudson and Howard Kids

These three cousins were so adorable this morning. As with any kids I photograph, it takes them a little time to get warmed up but once I had them throwing leaves at each other, and ME, they were naturals. Here is a little insight into our morning.

Jen Rackley

I had such a great time today photographing a friend I grew up with. I haven't seen Jen in almost 20 years so we spent the majority of the afternoon catching up on old times and capturing a few shots. Her mom has been complaining that she has not had any pictures taken since college. Jen, I think your mom will be happy. Here are a few of my favorites.

Available Sessions

I just wanted to put out a "Last Call". You can see how beautiful the surroundings are at the Old City Cemetery this time of year. I have a few available time slots this Saturday if there are any takers. This weekend will be about the last one with the scenery this beautiful. Please visit my website or call to book a session.

The Kent Family

This session was history in making. Andy(dad) hates to have his picture taken. However, to amuse us all, he was a good sport. I even think that by the end he may have been having fun. I even compromised with him and let him wear his hat in some of the pictures. Thanks again for being such a great sport. You have some beautiful family pictures to choose from.

Margaret: Senior

Margaret, her mom and I set out for her senior pictures last week. We went to some of the same great locations but also found some different locations throughout the city and were able to capture some great shots. We even managed to take a few shots with Macey the possum. :o)

The Fleshman Family

This past weekend was the weekend for family sessions. The trees down at the Old City Cemetery were at their peak although I believe we may have one more good weekend coming up. We managed to capture some serious and fun poses with this family. Here's a peek...

Molly and Friends

If you remember back over the summer I took Molly's Senior Pictures. This fall she and her friends wanted a session together. As you can tell, they had a lot of fun.

The Childress Family

These three decided to get together for a photo session to surprise mom/nana for Christmas. I believe they are going to make her very happy. :o)

Allison Mitchell Senior Session - Part 2

If you follow my Blog then you will notice that Allison is no stranger. She wanted some fall pictures to add to her Senior Session we did over the summer. She even let her boyfriend, Ian, jump in for some shots. These two are absolutely adorable and so much fun. Here is a little sneak peek into our beautiful Fall day.

Miss Rachel

This little girl LOVED the leaves however her mom didn't want them to necessarily be part of her food group. Every time she picked one up it went straight into her mouth. Her is just one of my favorites.
