Baby Expressions

Babies will bless you with a 100 different expressions in a single minute if you are paying attention. It is such a fun and joyous thing to edit through them! Most times we don't see them with the naked eye or they come and go so quickly that we forget they were even there.

When my moms and dads come to view their photos we play a slide show with music and it is projected on the wall. (By the way, this is the best way to view your photos for the first time! It is an experience you will never forget). So, when they are viewing their sweet lumps of sugar coupled with a great Celine Dionne ballad - the crying is a sure thing - yes, even my dads! While the love of your baby will bring you to tears, he/she also brings you much laughter and joy. So I throw in the "baby expressions" photos to bring laughter to their hearts and remind us all why God says that "children are a gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3)"!

I probably enjoy the slide show experience more than the parents! This little boy is one of our latest 3month sessions.
Mom & Baby shot is always a must for me!

This expression is one of my favs!


He was talking to me here

Mary and her violin

Boy do we love musicians and artists at our studio! I believe it is partly because they know what they want and they are up for anything we want! This is Mary Pipkin and she is AMAZING on the violin. If you guys ever hear of her playing anywhere - you have to go see her. We had a lot of fun with Mary and even got some interesting shots of her in action!






Stay tuned - we will be photographing a rap artist in the coming weeks!

Allen Girls!

This session started out for baby sis and big sis had to get in on the action when she saw what a blast we were having. These skirts are the "in" thing now and every little girl wants her photo in it. Well, if you put it on in my studio - you are gonna have to work it!!! And work it these girls did!!!!


There is nothing like the love between sisters!!!!!!


Love her legs in this one - so high fashion awkward!!!

Our favorite!

This was a close second to our favorite!!!!



And to Rachel Green who left me a comment - I do remember you and we are expecting a visit at the studio so we can talk shop some more! Thanks for taking our photo at the Bridal Show!
To those of you who are looking at the blog - drop me a comment now and then - I love to get feedback on who you are and what you think about us!

Exciting Happenins at Life Gallery!

First of all, we were given the great opportunity to take some photos for the Brunswick News in preparation for the Bridal Show that was held on Jekyll Island. If you missed that - you missed a good time! Look below to see a snap shot of our fabulous booth!

These 3 beauties were our models at Evelyn Talman's on St. Simons Island. A big thanks and kisses to Dana, Laura and Cleveland!!!!

This was Friday's ad

And this was Saturday's ad

And these were enlarged to life size and displayed at the Bridal Show.


Speaking of the Bridal Show - look at what the Life Gallery Gals pulled off! We worked all week preparing for it and all day on Saturday before the show to put it up - but it was worth it. Everyone seemed to enjoy it!

And that's not all!!!! We found out Saturday - the day before the Wedding Show that we were voted Best Wedding Photographer 2008!!!!! If you haven't seen it yet - pick up a copy of Elegant Island Living and check it out - it is a great issue!

We were blown away and couldn't believe what crazy, wild, great clients we have!!! We want to send out a big juicy kiss to everyone who voted for us - we love you guys!!!! Also, in case you haven't dropped by lately - here are some self portraits of the Life Gallery Gals (we call ourselves the Mean Trio:). By now you are on to our hat fetish so of course I made everyone choose a hat for our photos! :)

Hat Love

OK - so I can't put the hats down - but you really don't want me to - do you???

Annalee Love is this cutie pie and boy did she work those hats! Unlike lots of my wee clients, this one was not shy and didn't need a lot of direction. She is a natural performer!

Wilder Boys

It is so rewarding to be a family's photographer. I have taken photos for these boys for a few years and I have to say, they are 3 of my favorites! Now you may be saying, she says that to all of us and you could be close to being right. I have so many favorites because I fall in love with all of you.

But the Wilder Boys - they are the cream of the crop! They are such good boys, I even have hopes to be their future mom-in-law. These are the types of boys that I envision my girls marrying. It doesn't even matter which one marries Grace or Greta. All kidding aside, these boys love each other and love their parents. They are respectful and such a delight to be around! And just look at them - a photographer's dream subject!!!
