New and (hopefully) improved :) {Statesboro Portrait Photographer}

So! I am alllll about simplicity these days. I love to streamline, organize and de-clutter. Not my house...you'd know that if you came to visit, I'm talking about for you!! I'm speaking as a customer now, I can imagine how confusing it must be to have a session and all these images to 1st) choose from, 2nd) figure out what sizes to purchase and 3rd) figure out how and where to put them on the dang wall.  I'm ashaaaamed to say that if I'd spent 1/2 as much time displaying the images of my family as I do taking them, well let's just say I'd have very little wall space left. So I've got this idea. And I need feedback from you guys as to whether this is going to help or not, after all, its for you! I'm going to set it up so that you look at a picture like the one below, and if you think its a display you'd like on your wall, all we have to do is plug in the sizes and your favorite pictures, and presto chango you have a *beautiful* family portrait display to show off. No fret, no stress. I want to make picture ordering stress free, fun and *exciting*! I want you to be able to envision what your wall will look like covered in beautiful photos of the ones you love! And while I do plan to arrange a time with most of you to actually sit down and plan out your image ordering, for those of you with crazy schedules like mine, hopefully this guide will be a one stop shop of sorts. A plug and play. I'll be working on that part of the website/blog over the next week, and feedback is encouraged! Ok I'm done brainstorming for the night. Time to scrape my sleepy hubby off of the floor and scoot on to bed. Nite nite. ;)

Short and Sweet {Statesboro, GA Couples Photographer}

Do you know that my husband and I have *never* had professional photos of just us together? Sometimes romance gets lost in the shuffle of life, trust me I know! I fully intend (someday) to schedule a session for just me and Matt. For you guys, this time could be now!! Think of it has a mini-date :) You get to dress up, take a romantic stroll, gaze adoringly at each other, and you have proof!! (teehee) $75 dollars buys you the session and 5 beautifully edited images of you together on disc. Then its back to the kids, errands and whatever else a Saturday has in store for you. Sound like something you'd be interested in? Email me at sixpencephotos@gmail.com for time and place and the rest of the run down. Only a few spots are left!!

Evy's Six Month Session/ The McCoy Family {Statesboro, GA Family Photographer}

Finally! So happy I'm finally getting around to posting Evy's 6 month session (she turned 7 months yesterday ;-P ). True to my word, I'm doing her 3, 6, and 9 month session myself and I'm actually kind of tickled to see a little improvement in just over 3 months. I have so, so far to go before I'm any where near the level I aspire to but its nice to see a little progress.

Family self portraits are always an adventure. They usually have to take place over several days or weekends because a few things must collide: I have to have time, Evy must be awake, happy, fed, had a nap and Daddy must be home. This is a rarity around our busy little household  but I always enjoy the finished product, no matter how much sweat was involved (imagine me with the tripod, up-down-up-down run run run run…re-focus, adjust settings, repeat…you get the picture.) A little side note: I think my husband is harboring a talent. Yes, I adjust the settings and and tell him where to point " the little red box" but he really captures some awesome shots and you can't fake an eye. Husband and wife team someday maybe?? Ahhh one can dream :)

Photo Challenge

So I've taken on a challenge! Well, not really a *challenge*, tee hee. I'm a wimp. ;) We all know this. Its more of an excuse to share with amazing fellow photogs at least once a week, all year long :) It's called the 52 week challenge, hosted my the **AMAZING** My Four Hens Photography. You simply must check her out. Heart Inspired Art. Probably the most perfect slogan for a photographer I've ever heard. Anyway, she's a mother of three and just so inspiring. And I guess this is my way of trying to be a little bit like her. :) So this week the challenge is to take a photo representing a New Years resolution you have made. One of mine is to bake more. Silly as it may seem, other than taking pictures, baking was really a favorite form of therapy of mine for a really long time and I've really been wanting to revisit it. Now, if I can just figure out a way NOT to eat all the results of my baking, lest it get in the way of a few of my other lbs resolutions :) Ready. Set. Go.

2011 Favs

It was so hard to choose these! I have so may favorites but I couldn't possibly list them all, so I limited myself to one from each session. I really enjoyed thumbing back through these, going back to the sessions and the new friends made along the way. Mainly laughing at how many times my logo has changed. ;)
