Mini-Session... Columbus MS Family Photographer

Its that time of year again.... Mini-session time!

Each mini-session will be 30 minutes.... and you get 5-10 digital images on cd to use as you wish - usually Christmas cards! All for $50.

That's a big deal!

Tentatively, these will be on Saturday, Oct 23rd (morning and afternoon sessions) and Sunday, Oct 24th (afternoon only).

I need to know if anyone is interested ASAP - spots will be limited! And as Ive said before, Im pretty much booked up for the rest of the year.... so here is your chance to get some good pics for a great price! Email me at talleyimages@yahoo.com so we can start working out the details!

Eat at Chili's

Just a reminder - if you have a chance - eat at Chili's tonight.... or at least get some take-out!

Oh my goodness, I cant even tell you how good their Molten Chocolate Cake is! *swoon*

Today, for one day only.... 100% of the profits from Chili's go to St Judes.... that is unbelievable.... 100% - seriously folks, that just doesnt happen.

And you could not pick a better organization for the money to go to. I know several families that St Jude has helped and their stories are amazing.

So... I know most of us are on a budget... but maybe just for tonight you could splurge... after all, you are helping an amazing organization and getting some yummy food too!

Thanks... :)

Mahajan - Columbus MS photographer

If youve been reading my blog long, then you will recognize this family. Look at how gorgeous they all are. Especially this one... :)

I was in love with this shot - the butterfly just randomly flew by.

I am in love with this picture....

Butterflies seemed to be the theme of the day.... such a great shoot - this never happens!

Isnt this the sweetest baby bracelet?! I want one.

A sweet yawn...

Isnt she completely beautiful

Thank you Mahajan family for being amazing! I love working with yall, as always. I cannot wait to watch that little one grow - she is going to be a heartbreaker!

.

Well, I thought we were starting to head into fall, but the weather had other plans.... still summer... and Im pretty much booked for the year... how crazy is that?! But I am LOVING it. Thank you to all my clients - yall are the best!

.

Dont forget to see the below post on how to get some free photography.

.

Also a few links that I thought you might enjoy... especially for my brides!

What is Post Production? - love this, and definitely a good reason to hire a professional.

Why Do Wedding Pics Take So Long To Get Back? - you know you were wondering, and yes, they are definitely worth the wait.

Hope that was helpful. Love yall... :)

A Quick Announcement - Columbus Ms Wedding Photographer

Just a quick announcement... :)
.
Ok, rarely do I ever - ok, really, in all honesty, its probably not going to happen again... until I see something else really cool, and then maybe... *what was I saying?*... oh yeah.... rarely will I put another photographer's blog/pictures up on my blog - it just doesnt make much business sense.
.
But I dont care... these photos are too good not to share. I was completely blown away!
.
And yes, I get that they are not for everyone.... definitely not for a traditional bride. But from a photographer's standpoint, they are freakin' amazing!
.
So here I am to say.... If any of my readers want to do a session this creative, then I will do it for free.... Yes, you read that right - completely free and give you a cd of the images.

A few stipulations
- No, it doesnt have to be a "day of the dea" shoot or even in a cemetery, but it does have to be creative and totally out of the box (make up helps!)
- If it is outside the golden triangle area, then you have to pay for mileage (which really, compared to a free shoot, isnt much)
- Because I am so booked up, it probably wont happen until late October or November... be aware of that and how it fits into your schedule
- Dont be offended if I turn your idea down... I seriously love to work with creative people and if I cant give it to you for free, then maybe I can offer a discount, but like I said - it has to be totally out of the box!
- You kind of need to already own (or can easily get) anything needed for your idea.
- This can be for any type of shoot, except for a whole wedding.... but if your wedding is way out of the box, then I may consider giving you a discount!
.
If you want to submit an idea, email me at talleyimages@yahoo.com - subject line: Crazy Idea
.
You can probably find a lot of good ideas at http://www.rocknrollbride.com/ and http://www.offbeatbride.com/ - be forewarned, they can/do feature some same sex weddings and some curse words, so if that offends you then you may want to steer clear... but there are some amazing ideas, themes, diy stuff to find here... :)
.
Ok, for all my traditional brides... and even non-traditional brides (hey, its free!)... you can get a free issue of Bridal Guide magazine here
.
Hope yall enjoyed the break! Now back to our regularly scheduled program!

And just because I love these pics so much.... (and maybe they will get your creative juices flowing)



My take on American Gothic

Cant wait to see what yall come up with!

Alyssa - Columbus MS Photographer

Just look at this girl... dont you want to eat her up?! She has the most beautiful dark hair, and let me tell you, this girl is a princess.... :)

You can definitely see where she gets her good lucks... what a pretty family - even you, Josh.

So adore this one!

Gorgeous on the playground.

Sweet.... some daddy lovin'

Im in love with her crinkly nose... too, too cute!

The sweetest!

Jessica, yall are such a sweet family... it was so fun to see how you all came together and how that little girl has everyone wrapped around her finger - love it! Hope yall enjoy the pictures.

.

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

.

I got spoiled by that little cool spot we had going on last weekend... I love the heat, but it started to make me long for the fall.... lets hope we get one this year and it doesnt go straight into winter... Im not a big fan of the cold.

Tucker

This was my 3rd shoot with Tucker, and I just cant get over how cute he is every time.... and he is all boy - very brave and into everything - love it! And you can definitely see where he gets his good lucks from - look at this family! (and dont you love how they did gray instead of the all black or all white ensemble)... *swoon* Im in love with this picture!

Look at that gorgeous face!

I adore this one with mom... cant you tell how much they love each other.

Dad too...

The quiet moments are the best.

Thank you Tate family! As always, yall are incredible and so easy to work with... you make my job so incredibly easy.
