A huge thanks to my model, Katina.... she was brave enough to get into that water and she did a great job with the shoot! These were taken in a cypress bog that had been filled with rainwater... it was waist-deep and dirty which meant you couldnt see what you were stepping on or in. I am so lucky to work with such amazing people!I love doing these kind of fantasy shoots... and Ive heard that others enjoy seeing them... so I thought I would offer these to the public. I have tons of dresses/costumes on hand, if you are interested. These are totally fun shoots and they dont have to be as extreme as getting into the water. But I think most women have some kind of fantasy, so here is your chance to fulfill it.
I especially want to pitch these to moms of pre-teen and teenage daughters out there. You remember that phase of not feeling pretty, feeling awkward and just out of place. Here is a chance to give a gift of acceptance to your daughter (or sister, neice, granddaughter). Help her to realize that its her thats beautiful - everything about her is what makes her unique - lets celebrate it! It really is a fun experience, especially for someone who doesnt feel all that confident in themselves. The total package will come with the fun of playing dress up and finding the perfect dress, I can also do their make up as well (sorry, Im not good with hair though!), then we will discuss what she wants, find the perfect location, and then just go out and have some fun. Ive done this with several girls and they all come out on the other side and say they had so much fun and they really did feel beautiful. I want all girls to feel beautiful - no matter what their size, shape, or "imperfections" are. They deserve to be celebrated - Id love to be a part of making that happen... :) (I think its always good for a girl/woman to have a few beautiful pictures of herself to pull out on those "bad" days to remember what she really does look like!)
Email me at talleyimages@yahoo.com and lets figure out how to create something beautiful. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hope everyone had an amazing Memorial Day weekend - a HUGE thank you to all of our service people present and past - yall are amazing!
Not a typical kids picture, but I love, love, love it... definitely one of my favorites.
Love these swing pictures... :)
And these two are total athletes... so young and already so amazing... made me super nostalgic for my high school days (and high school body that didnt feel so old as well)
Love this light... :)
Found this little guy hanging out... we let him loose and then he found us again... :)
Nathan totally rocks!
These next two could be total art pieces... beautiful.
And how cool is their mom, Linn?!!! Doesnt she look like Trinity from the Matrix... yeah, she is that cool!
Thank you Lawrence family for letting me be the one to capture these memories - I had so much fun... especially with all the creepy crawly things - like a cool field trip, and I even had my camera along. I cant wait to watch your kids grow up and do amazing things and then say I knew them way back when... :)
Ran into this guy as well... he wasnt as thrilled to have the camera up in his face... :)
Hope everyone has an amazing weekend... cant wait to show the rest of this session... soon... :)
A huge thank you to his teacher, Mrs Tapp. She has been one of Wallace's biggest advocates and she is amazing! We dont have words enough to say how much we love and appreciate her.
I was such a proud mom this morning... all the kids did great! Congrats to the pre-K class of 2012!
I bet yall didnt know that I did sports pics as well? I dont do alot of them, but I usually end up doing at least my son and daughter's teams... although Ive picked up a few here and there since I started. I wasnt really sure I'd enjoy it, but I really do.
Ummmm... can you believe how big this girl has gotten?!!!
And isnt she gorgeous!
Pretty much like her big brother... :)
Pretty much like the whole family... :)
Love sweet baby faces... :)
Things are a little bit quieter now with sessions, which means I can fully focus on the ones that do have, and also continue working on my own creative projects. I love that the season goes from really busy to quiet to really busy to quiet. Right when I think Im feeling burnt out, I get a little break... and then right when I start getting bored, it heats up again. There's something so magical in that.
