Wedding couple of the year!

  past Saturday, I shot one of the most relaxed weddings I have ever done!  The bride was a friend who I have previously worked with.  The ceremony was BEAUTIFUL!  Her dad gave her away, as well as, officiated.  The wedding party consisted of 2 bridesmaids, 2 groomsmen, and the CUTEST ring bearer and flower girl to ever grace a wedding!  The atmosphere throughout the entire day was very calm and laid back.  I can now no longer say that I have never had a wedding where pictures started on time!  We started on time, and then finished early!  I'm not used to shooting with a wedding party so small, so we had about an hour to spare, in which we used up taking fun pictures! :)  Here are a few shots from their big day!  Hope you enjoy!

                                             

Here Lately...

Here lately...things have been beyond super crazy!  Which I can't complain, because business is booming and I love it, but it just means i'm constantly busy!  I keep having to remind myself that being this busy is a good thing.  

I have had a lot of clients ask about going full-time.  I would love nothing more than to take GGP on full-time, trust me, BUT, it's not the right time.  I'm on God's watch and until He says leap, I will stay right where I am.  I am blessed to have some of the best clients around!  You guys just keep the business coming, and I promise you, ONE day, we WILL go full-time! :)

Like I said, things have been crazy busy, between working at the doctor's office, raising and enjoying every second I get with my baby boy, MOVING, and editing pictures, and having sessions, I feel like I haven't even had a chance to breathe!  I had a "trip" to the beach, but not so much a vacation.  Yes, it was nice to get away, but not a normal trip to the beach for me by no means!  I go again next weekend and am ready to soak up some sun, see my sister, and have some family bonding time!  

Enough about me!  Let's talk about my last few sessions!  Have I mentioned my clients are THE best?!  

Last week, I got to spend one of my evenings with a pretty little princess who turned ONE not to long ago!  Mom said she didn't do to well at the first attempt for First Birthday Portraits, but she did wonderful for me!  I'm excited to show you  guys a few sneak peeks!  This past Sunday, I got to spend a little time with a bride-to-be and her future hubby for their engagement session.  They are a SUPER fun couple and I can't wait for their wedding in October!  (May I just mention AGAIN that I have the best clients!?)  

We have a wedding coming up on Saturday (check out a sneak peak of one of her bridal portraits!), then back to the beach the following weekend.  Hope you guys have a GREAT week!  

My home away from home!

The Beach

Vacations to the beach are always my favorite!  There is just something about this place that mesmerizes me.  One summer, I would take my off days and just drive to the beach, stay all day, then drive home.  That's how much I love this place!  Now, I get to share my love with clients!  We have had a blast this weekend.  Good company, good atmosphere, good food!  Nothing better!  Here are a few shots from some of the sessions I had while down here!  Someone asked me how it was a vacation if I was working.  Photography is not work to me.  It never will be.  I have and always will enjoy it.  Now, the editing part, maybe not so much!  HA!  But, I was blessed with a talent, and I will NOT waste it!  I love what I do, and I hope my clients love it just as much!  Thanks for letting me capture your memories!

 Isn't she beautiful?!

Beautiful little princess!

Had the opportunity of meeting this little princess the other day!  She's definitely going to be a heartbreaker!  Leaving for the beach!  Countdown is down to hours!  So excited for a much needed vacation with good company!  Of course, I can't go to the beach without getting a few sessions in!  Have a bridal session monday evening, and I must say, i'm pretty stoked about it!  Check back for a sneak peek!  Hope you guys have an awesome weekend!

Lovin this life!

It's been a while since I posted.  Though I would catch you guys up!  Christmas Pictures are booking like crazy, so if you haven't booked yet, you SHOULD ASAP!  Life is going great!  The past two weeks, GGP has been crazy busy!  We've had bridals, engagements, family sessions, newborns, children, and a HS Reunion!  Here are a few shots from our crazy two weeks!  Hope you enjoy!

Santa Clause is coming to town!

Too soon to be talking about Christmas?  NOT AT ALL!  Christmas is right around the corner and we are now booking for our Christmas Portraits. Beat the crowds at the mall, and the craziness of a typical, nationwide studio.  Come join us, along with Santa Clause himself, for your child's portraits.  

Over the years, people have told us how much they treasure their "Santa Pictures."  Get your deposit in today and we will call and set your appointment for November 4-5.  The portraits will be done at Lunsford's in Brent, Al.  Mrs. Sarah Lunsford is my aunt and yes, the photography gene was passed down :)  

For Christmas Portraits, we go completely traditional and use FILM!  And I love it! 

Your chid may have his/her picture made with Santa in two outfits if you wish.  A dressy outfit and pajamas are always a good choice.  Even blue jeans and a sweat shirt look very good too!  Just a word of caution, if your child tends to have a fear of Santa, an outfit change is not wise, but still your decision.  You will get a portfolio with four 4x5 portraits of your child/children (of your choice), along with an 8x10 print, and 10 Christmas cards. 

PRICES:

One child: $50

Two or more children: $70

SANTA PORTRAITS WILL BE MADE FRIDAY EVENING (NOV. 4) AND SATURDAY (NOV.5)

The sessions are first come, first serve!  They will go quickly (always do)!

BOOK today and pay the $30 deposit and receive 10 extra Christmas cards! 

Please check out our Santa Portraits from last year!

Another weekend gone

Another weekend has come and gone.  Saturday was spent doing what I love to do!  I had a session with a gorgeous three year old who was shy at first, but full of energy by the time we were finished.  Saturday night, I    

got the opportunity to witness the Gardendale HS classes of '81-'83 re-live their glory days of HS at their reunion.  I must say, they partied like it was 1980.  We had a blast, pictures coming soon.  I'm in the process of moving!  FUN stuff right there!  My post tonight will be a little more exciting.  Back to the real world!  Photos to edit and work to be done!
