Mason

One look at this little boy and you know he is going to be a heartbreaker one day... that platinum blonde hair, those dark blue eyes, that shy smile.... And once he finds something he likes, thats all it takes... we had a good time and Im so thankful for little trees and willing boys to climb them... ahhhh, I love me some childhood innocence.

Mason, thanks for spending some time with me... you are alot of fun!

I am booking up fast this year... its turning out to be a whirlwind and I am loving it... I just wanted to thank all my clients for being so "totally awesome" and beautiful. It is unimaginable how amazing it is that I get to work with so many wonderful people!

Have a question... email me at talleyimages@yahoo.com - I would love to hear from you

Toys

So the sweet ladies over at http://www.twophotogs.com/ have put up a new challenge: toys! I thought this would be a great challenge as I have toys all over my house.... and they cant refuse to have their picture taken like a few other subjects in our house... *smirk*.


The first thing that popped in my head was my son's rubber snakes.... I absolutely HATE snakes... detest them... they creep me out. But for some reason, I love rubber snakes. So I thought it would be really cool to photograph the rubber snakes as if they were real. What do you think?














And then I thought about how funny it would be to have a penguin holding an ice cream cone... well, I never could make that one to work (darn penguin kept eating the ice cream before I could get the shot!).... so then I thought it would be really funny if penguins took over the freezer... yes, I have a warped sense of humor, but I thought it turned out cute.... and it made me smile... hope it made you smile too.

Yes, I know, I know... Ive been MIA for a little bit... Ive been having some technical/internet issues.... ugh. I am also uber-busy working on two weddings and some portrait shoots... but I am surely enjoying life. I hope these pictures can hold you over until I get some some new sessions up... if nothing else, I hope they made you smile.

Isnt the weather glorious? If you'd like to book your session or have questions, I'd love to hear from you... email me at talleyimages@yahoo.com and I'll be happy to chat! Have a great weekend!

Whitney and Michael

Oh, I am so, so excited to show you this session... I have been busting at the seams ever since we shot this. Yes, its that awesome.... I met Whitney and Michael over at Mississippi State, where we (coincidentally) all went to school. Of course, I had to follow them around because I am always getting lost - no big surprise there to anyone who knows me. :)

As a photographer, it gets a little daunting to meet someone on their turf... somewhere you havent scoped out days before to make sure you know where just the right light is. You have to put total faith in your clients. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about.... Whitney and Michael knew the very best spots - maybe I should hire them to scope out locations for all my shoots... :) It also doesnt hurt that they themselves are beautiful... seriously, would you not kill for Whitney's eyelashes?! And oh, how sweet they are with each other... talk about love.
.
Ok, go ahead and prep yourself so your head doesnt explode from the awesomeness of it all... Ill wait..... ok, are you ready.... here we go! (click on pics to view them in all their glory)

This was by far one of my most favorite shoots of all time. It really could not have been any better. And I cannot even say how much I am looking forward to shooting their wedding in June. It is going to be pure fairytail magic with a dose of fun mixed in. This is why I love my job.
