...for a post about this year's christmas mini sessions with lindeymagee photography!

if you're already a client of mine, check your inbox...all the details were delivered to you this morning.

everyone else, be on the lookout here on the photo blog...i will be posting details this week about a sweet christmas mini session deal that will hook you up with gorgeous, custom designed press printed christmas cards (not just ordinary photo paper...these cards make a statement!) and assorted gift prints that you can keep for yourself or frame & give as christmas gifts!

have a fabulous weekend :o)

exclusive child photographer, say what!?

...i've had a hannah montana overload today :o) ...forgive me.

i've actually gotten a couple emails regarding my last post...i should clarify an important point.

as an exclusive newborn & children's photographer, i will be focusing my work on those subjects, but it's important to point out that i have always advocated mom sneaking into some shots (even if she resists...i get my way!) & even grabbing a real-life family portrait if dad's available!

 

the connection between a momma & her baby is children's portraiture! so to answer your email concerns...i will continue to capture these sweet, emotional memories as a part of any newborn/baby or children's session :o)

 

(good grief! in thinking/looking through images to add to help illustrate this post...i was overwhelmed with lots of favorite 'connection' shots! i could post all night, but decided on one new & one old fave. how could i not continue to capture these emotional connections!?)

if you are seeking strictly family portraiture, i'm happy to refer you to a photographer more suited for that.

i hope everyone had a fabulous Independence day! God Bless America, land that i LOVE :o) brother mike preached an amazing patriotic message that got me all fired up this morning...freedom isn't free & our nation that was founded on 'In God we Trust' and the very idea of independence has & is turning it's back on those very principals that make us the greatest nation in the world. my country & her leaders are in my prayers each & every day...please remember them in yours.

next up? gallery wrap canvas overload! why we (both my clients & myself) are in love :o)

mine [mississippi children's photographer]

  

they are somewhat neglected by my camera during this busy season, but that just means they cooperate better when i occasionally go after a together shot. it helps, of course, that they're swimming :o)

my roo may not have her sibling's gorgeous blue eyes, but she does have highly reflective ones...a photographer's dream!

need holiday portraits?

...the wait is over & just in the nick of time! i'm excited to announce my first year of holiday season mini-sessions :o) these will be by appointment (on a first come basis) on saturday, november 15, 2008.

because i only take on a few sessions per month, i knew i'd never be able to accomodate all my wonderfully patient waiting-list-clients & those of you wanting holiday portraits...and so...the holiday mini-session is born!

these twenty minute sessions are designed to provide you with images for holiday cards & gifts. unlike my typical sessions, this session will only include one location (percy quin state park just outside of town), one outfit, and 5-10 portrait images in your online gallery.

cost is $125.00 and that includes a 20 minute session for your family of five or less (please add $25 for each additional person), 5-10 image portaits in an online gallery, a set of 25 custom designed photo christmas cards, and one 8x10 portrait of your choice.

your gallery will go live by thursday, november 21st and you will have one week to place your complete order.

now that you've got all the info, email me to reserve your spot. i'll send an online invoice for the $50 deposit that will reserve your spot. i am only booking 6 sessions for this saturday, november 15 and they're sure to go fast...so get in touch!

the photographer's prayer

Dear Lord, as I bring my subject into focus & prepare to make each portrait, never let me forget that I'm creating treasures for a family, a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others, that I may draw out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts.

Help me to be an artist, collecting the beauty of every soul, the glow of youth, the gentleness, the laughter or tears of each life that is precious in Thy sight. Deeper than a means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographer's art as a service to others, making life richer and more memorable.

And, dear Lord, between the lights and shadows, the ups and downs and the rolling years, keep me from getting out of focus or off center, so that my life and work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment. amen.

that line about 'drawing out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts'...well...i immediatly thought of this recent favorite of dr.z and her girly number three :o)

four :o)

this is a summer session that i've been revisiting to create a coffee table book for a mom of four little people. it's been an experience & is wrapping up...i'm likely to be as-if not more-excited about the arrival of the book as she is!

i'm terrible about sharing sessions here...i should do better, but since i didn't post any of these here...

   

   

 

 

...just a few. man...can't wait for the book!

bitty baby boy 'b'

this bundle of sweetness is my little cousin's peanut. blaise ryan (did i spell that right, meghan?) he came on his first little venture out & about to spend saturday with me & my camera. he was 22 days old here & packed a good 4lbs 10oz of solid cuteness!

the one below, i may see a bit of dillon in him...no?

this next one's for his g-momma (although, i personally think she needs a name more becoming to who-she-is, like...say...sweetheart or lovey or even princess)

i can't post newborn pics without showing off the bittyest piggie ever...

and the little dude know's his football!

so good to meet you mr. man! meghan...he's perfect!...see you all again really soon! xoxo

a is for attention amy...

b is for boy, boots, and blanket.

c is for charming little character...just look...

and that is where my wit ends, but here is a couple more i happen to love

and the wrap up shot (what i would give to have this candid of ben, back when he wanted his momma to pick him up.)

amy, your cd has just under 90 conversions of about 40 images...i went a little nuts, but i'm sure you're okay with that ;o)

anyway the album is here ...it doesn't include all the images, but a good taste :o)

******

on a side note, i've got photos i've proofed of my annual heather & ben christmas card shoot, some new kaitlyn shots, and lots of other random candids that beg to be played with. they are in line on the to-do list right below *cook *clean *wash *shop *wrap *homework *etc *etc

******

if i've missed any emails in regards to my photography...the scoop is...i am wrapped up for the year, but will be posting details regarding sessions, fees, etc. in january.

i look forward to meeting everyone i've corresponded with across the past few months and totally appreciate all the feedback!  happy holidays!
