In case, I forgot to mention it...Speed Racer and I are pregnant! We are having a baby and quite soon too I might add! Our little one is set to make its debut February 3rd, 2015. So between holidays and preparing for baby, the posts and updates may be few and far between. I appreciate your patience during this time, especially all of my clients who have already shown me so much patience and love! I cannot wait to share the next stage in our life with you as well as my photography career. Here's to the next adventure!
A special thinks also to Kayla with Kayla F Photography! I cannot get over my amazing maternity session with her and adore each and every beautiful image she took!
For weeks and weeks you heard me talking about the Holiday Mini Sessions I was going to hold at Riverdale Elementary School. Well the day finally arrived and it was such a wonderful, fun day! I loved seeing all the cuties out in their holiday outfits as well as capturing so many fun family moments.
I had so many favorite from this day! I think everyone enjoyed playing around in the gym as well as being able to go outside thanks to the beautiful weather. Thank you to all my amazing clients for being willing to travel some for these mini sessions and for showing up for such a fun time. I will definitely be offering this again next year and am already thinking of different possibilities. Until then, I hope these help put you in the holiday spirit!
Holiday Mini Sessions are right around the corner! Can you believe it?? I am so so so excited for this opportunity and to see what these sessions will bring.
For some of us it's too early to be thinking Jingle Bells, Hot Cocoa, and a chill in the air. For others of us, that's all we're thinking about! Whether you are a Holiday Fanatic or like to give the holidays their due time, this is a great opportunity to get updated and cherished photos of you and your family for a great price. We are so lucky to have a unique venue all to ourselves! Riverdale Elementary has given us the space for the day and this includes their awesome gym, classrooms, outside, and beautiful architecture of the building. We will have holiday set ups in some areas but we also get to just explore! So even if you're not ready to put on those tacky sweaters, we can get some lovely shots! Contact me today through the contact page on my website (www.runawayalice.com) for more information!
I'm not going to lie, I've been wanting to photograph this kid since before he was born. When I found out Heather was pregnant, I knew this kid was going to be sweet and adorable, just like his parents. So as soon as Brennan came into the world, we booked a session for when he was about 6 months old.
Unfortunately our first effort at a session got completely rained out. Not just drizzle, we're talking serious downpour. But that was okay, we waiting a month or so until the afternoon rains died off some and Brennan had mastered his sitting up a little more.
It was a really amazing day and I just loved spending time with this little guy. He's so laid back and just happy to be around! We've already got a Holiday Mini session scheduled with this cutie and I cannot WAIT to see how those turned out. Stay tuned!
Our holiday sessions are filling up quickly! I know its early to be thinking about the holidays, and you may not want to yet, but just think of already having your pictures done and getting your cards ordered before everyone else this year! What a load off to have one thing done and be ready to concentrate on fun stuff like, shopping! (Have I mentioned I'm a little bit of a shop-a-holic?) Our holiday session is filling up quickly, so contact me today to reserve your time slot!
Happy Monday all!
Rachel and Ed are perfect for each other. Its just a fact of life. Like one of those things you just know when you see it, like that the sun is warm and flowers are beautiful. You just know it. The more you are around them, the more this feeling grows and grows. It radiates between them and before you know it, you're smiling too.
Rachel and Ed are active people. They are both vets, both active in their families, and active in their church. When they went about planning their wedding they brought all of these factors of their lives into the details. Their wedding was one of the most personal weddings I have been too, and it was truly beautiful. Each aspect tied in a meaning to them from the hand picked readings to every single song that was played during the ceremony.
We started the day with a First Look and bridal party photos at UT Gardens. Rachel and Ed had the best wedding party!! These guys were up for anything and helped the day start out with some really fun poses.
Next it was over to Immaculate Conception for the ceremony. Rachel & Ed's ceremony was like a big family reunion. They hugged and greeted each guest as they came in. The ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt.
The reception was held at Calhoun's on the River and was complete with epic DJ entrances for each Wedding Party Member. Rachel's Dad and Sister (who was the Maid of Honor) both gave speeches as well as Ed's Twin Brother (Best Man). Each speech proved more and more how Rachel and Ed are perfect for each other. Some speeches brought tears of joy and others, lots of laughter.
Thanks to Rachel and Ed for letting me part of their amazing day! I am so excited for you both and blessed to know you.
I am super excited to be offering Holiday Mini Sessions this year! This is the perfect opportunity to get great family photos as well as those fun shots for Holiday Cards. Break out the tacky sweaters and hot cocoa! I will be offering a great holiday set up at Riverdale Elementary in Strawberry Plains. If you haven't heard of Riverdale, it's a historic building that has been restored by Connie and Wayne Whitehead and is now available as a photography venue. Its got a lot of character and I'm excited to be able to offer my clients a new location that we can use for Mini Sessions no matter what the weather is like. Spots are limited so please contact me to reserve your time slot as soon as possible!
I am so lucky to have these two in my life. We call them Speed Racer's adopted Grandparents. They're not Grandparents by blood but they have been an integral part of his life since he was born. I have loved getting to know these two and being accepted as one of the family.
John and Lynn are proof that if you work at a marriage, love can last a life time. They clearly still adore each other and had so much fun having their pictures taken.
They have traveled all over together, raised three beautiful women, and a complete gaggle of grandkids. They cherish family as much as they cherish each other.
Thank you John and Lynn for not only making me part of your family but for showing me that youth is a mindset, not an age, and that love is eternal. Your love is inspiring.
I absolutely love when my job allows me to reconnect with old friends and coworkers! I was thrilled when Heather contacted me (we used to work together) saying that she had just had her new baby girl and would love some family portraits. We had so much fun and it was such a privileged to meet such a sweet baby girl.
Leiah was born premature so she is just a tiny little bundle of joy. We did these photos just a couple weeks after she was born so she was still sleepy, tiny, and precious.
Leiah's Dad, David, is in the Marines so we had fun doing a lot of different shots with his uniform. Amazingly, the uniform survived without any accidents!
After talking with Heather and David, they let slip that they had never had portraits done of just the two of them, not to mention as a family. So while Grandma and Grandpa took a shift feeding Leiah, we snuck off to do just a couple pictures of them.
Just as a side note: I am a huge fan of making sure you have couple portraits taken at many stages of life. This isn't just because it's what I do, but because everyone needs some photographs that show the love that you feel for each other. It reminds us of whats important and gives us a visual reminder when times are tough.
David and Heather radiate love not just for each other but for Leiah too. You can tell they are going to be fabulous parents! Congrats you two! I can't wait to see Leiah through each stage of life grow in the loving environment you have created for her.
