Blazer Sr. "Kasey 2010"

Kasey came in last week for his senior session and he photographed so GREAT!!! In other words, what you might say he's "photogenic". As I have said on numerous occasions you don't have to be smiling from ear to ear in every single pose for it to be a great image, as you can see on some of Kasey's more serious ones. He brought in such a nice selection of clothes to wear for his session and he was so nice to work with. I appreciate him being so patient with us, cause we don't really move at lightning speed around here. We got some super cute poses of him & Kamryn together, she was absolutely adorable!! I loved the little hat she was wearing it was just too cute! Also the ones of Kasey outside with his cars turned out so nice, I thought the fall colors added just the right amount of warmth to the overall look. And for anyone wanting to have the pretty fall folliage in their portraits, we only have about a week left to take advantage of that - so make sure you give us a call! After we were all finished with the outside poses with his little BMW Kasey asked if we could just run back inside and photograph a poster he had brought with him. So we began working with it and I think the Motley Crue one turned out pretty cool, I hope he likes it! Well I better run for now, gotta go to a Mini Class Reunion (& I'm not sayin' how many yrs) Enjoy this little sneak peak of Kasey everyone! :)

"Meghan" - Part 2

This second part of Meghan's session had to be the most fun we've had in a long time!!! Let me tell you what, that dress didn't slow Meghan down one bit. She could climb rocks & hills,run & jump, swing & play on the playground and do stuff that I could only dream of doing. I just loved the Chuck Taylor tennis shoes and the purple stripped tube socks, that just made the outfit don'tcha think?? The one in the yellow sweater was sooOOOOOoo absolutely beautiful it's almost breath taking. The lighting was so magnificent as it was shinning down thru that rock/tunnel/cave or whatever & then put someone like Meghan in that setting and this is what you get!!! The ones that Meghan had on the jacket with the fur hood were K-I-L-L-E-R!!!! She was such a trouper and braved the cold water and even waded out in it almost knee deep. And how 'bout them BOOTS?!?!? LOL!!! Meghan's Mom, Becky assisted us with the lighting, and she really did a great job & I think she even had fun doing it too! You never know what we might ask you to do or even put you to work, huh? Meghan's Part 2 session is what we like to call "TRASH THE DRESS". I think this definitely has the W-O-W factor all over it & will be the "NEXT BIG THING" type of session for the senior girls! Take one of your old dresses you've worn to a dance in the past that you don't plan on selling or ever wearing again & then a location where you normally would "NOT" be all dressed up in a formal dress & there you have it! After the session is over basically the dress is ready for the trash...just give us a call and we can fill you in on the details. Or better yet, be thinking up a location or idea of your own. We're always open to new ideas & up for almost anything, thats what makes our job so exciting!! We had so many good ones from this session I couldn't hardly stop myself from posting more than I usually do, but believe me there's more.......ENJOY this little sneak peak! :)

BCHS 2010 Sr. "Meghan"

Meghan came in last week for part one of her senior session. I had thought I would wait and post her images after part 2 of her session but I couldn't wait to share these with everybody!!!! Her smile is just absolutely GORGEOUS and she was a dream to have in front of the camera. I thought the ones in her scrubs with her nursing stuff was so cute & fun. Also her little weiner dog "FRANK" was a hoot and we got some really great images with him!!! He loves to play with a baseball and Bill really had him hyped up chasing after the ball. I kept trying to call him "Fred" and then after I realized what his name actually was it made perfect since to me!! Sort of a clever name for a weiner dog, wouldn't you say?!?! She mentioned to me that most of her outfits were mainly black & white. That was perfectly fine, because she looks great in that color combination with her tan, dark hair & brown eyes. Especially when you throw in the splashes of red with it. We got rained out on the outdoor part of her session and we are looking forward to part 2 with her next week. We have some really "F U N" stuff planned to do and I can't wait to share that with everybody later. But for right now it will be a surprise.....LOL!!!! Meghan called me a long time ago and told me she would be getting her braces off this fall and she wanted to come in for her session right as soon as she got them off. She was anxious & excited to come in for her session and we were too! I should quit rambling so much and wrap this up for now. Well,hopefully you guys will enjoy these and be watching out for part 2 of Meghan......they should be reeEEEEally good! :)

2010 SENIOR "Brad"

Brad was such an easy goin', laid back kind of a guy, and we had such a good time doing his sr. session last week! He would go along with anything that I asked him to do and was just so nice to work with. Ya know, sometimes when guys are scheduled for their senior cuts it isn't really high on their list of things they wanna do,but they go ahead just because Mom says so. But honestly I think once most guys get here and see that it's not as "HORRIBLE" as they initally thought and that Bill & I just take things slow & try to have a good time then most of the time it all works out!! And I think that was the case with Brad, he wasn't overly excited at first, but all the while still being very cooperative. But by the end of his session I think maybe he had changed his mind a little bit. We had some fun with the soccer poses at the end of his session. I was tossing the soccer ball and Brad was "HEADING" it and even his little brother Noah wanted to do it too!! We actually took a few cute shots of Noah just because he was such a trooper and was "SO" good during Brad's session. We had photographed Brad once before but it had been 8 or 9 yrs. ago during their family portrait session. So this was completely different than being with the whole family, all of the attention was entirely on him this time. Plus he had really grown up & changed so much since we had seen him last. It was so nice to see Sue again, his Momma, and we really enjoyed chatting with her. I absolutely loved so many of Brad's images and I think they are gonna have a hard time choosing, at least I did because he was exceptionally photogenic!!! The ones in the black shirt were all soOOOOoo good, that was definitly a good look for him! I really hope that Brad and the rest of his family enjoy this little sneak peak of his session. :))

JARED 2010 "BCHS Senior"

Jared came in last week for his senior portrait session and we had such a good time with him. I think where he's been coming here for Dances and sports pictures for most of his life he felt real comfortable being here! Thats how we want everybody that comes here to feel, just like your visiting with some of your friends. It was so good to talk & visit with Bobbi again, we do love to talk, as most of you are already aware of that. Ha-ha!! We absolutely love it when we are given the opportunity to work with such a good lookin' subject and then to top it all off a super nice personality to go along with it! Sessions like Jared's is why "WE LOVE OUR JOB & PHOTOGRAPHING SENIORS!!!! I remember when we did his older sister's senior session about 5 or 6 years ago, his Momma had us to take some of him & Kasey together.(Sorry if I misspelled her name) And back then I don't think he was quite as tall as she was but OMG'sh.......he has really passed her up now! I'm sure now she reeEEEEally has to look up at Jared since he's turned out to be quite tall!! Well I better get to bed now before the sun comes up......LOL!!! I know that Jared is in Gatlinburg right now during fall break so I hope that he & everyone else enjoys this little sneak peak at his images! :)

"OUR RECENT TRIP TO WILMINGTON"

As several of you may already know, we just recently returned from a visit with our daughter & her family in Wilmington,NC. Well we had such a wonderful time down there and Bill accused me of trying to spoil Isaak rotten. "HEY, Isn't that what Grandparents are supposed to do"?!? I was only trying to do my job! No seriously we absolutely adore this little guy or maybe I should say we're C R A Z Y over him!!! He's also very animated, as you can see in some of these. I can't imagine where that comes from now......can you??!!?! The close-up one where Nat is holding him & the sun is just beaming down on his hair is truly a "PRECIOUS MOMENT"......I just love the one where Damon is tossing him up in the air, he loves for his Daddy to do this. Then the one that melts our hearts the most is the one where they are walking away. We were so happy to be able to share time with them and look forward to more times like these. We also went to a local park nearby their home, I will post some images that we took of Isaak playing there in a day or so. Isaak is ate up with cuteness and has the sweetest little smile & personality so I just wanted to share these with everyone. Love, Granna & Grandpaw Whitlock
