Soccer Pics - Columbus Ms Photographer

Its that time of year again... soccer time!  So I thought Id show you a few teams that I had done this year... apparently black and white are popular team colors... :)

If you havent done your soccer pics, then now is the time.... it only takes about 30 minutes or so, and for $20 you get (1) 8x10 team composite, (2) 5x7, and (8) wallets... and I get them back to you in 1-2 weeks... I havent seen anyone else beat that.  This is the same deal I do for tball, baseball and softball... so be thinking ahead on those as well... :)

Happy Tuesday!

Good Friday

A little departure from my normal pictures... I did these a couple years ago and I still love them. Some of my favorite pictures and I cant even imagine anything I would change about them - they symbolize Easter how I see it - completely graphic and extreme in so many ways...

Ash Wednesday... where it all starts...

Maunday Thursday... or the day that Christ took communion (or the Last Supper) with his disciples.

Where He was betrayed.... And then He was crucified.... for me... for you... for all of us

One thing I love about the Methodist church is the tradition of the colors... if you'll notice, a lot of Methodist churches have wooden crosses outside... when Ash Wednesday comes, a purple cloth is placed on the cross... until Good Friday, and a black one replaces it.

- I love how on the processing of this picture, some of the marks in the wood came out to be red

Blood flowed....
And then there was silence.... it was over.
Jesus was dead.

Alot of people probably wont get these bright, vivid pictures.... but if youve ever lost anyone close than you no how unfair it feels for life to go on - for everyone around you to be ok, to be happy even - when you are grieving, when your world has been shattered....

The black cloth stays on... while we wait.
Until it is replaced by the white.... and the cross no longer holds the sting it did the night before.

And this is what we teach our children... just wish it wasnt always so sugarcoated.

Aiden - Columbus MS Photographer

And now back to our regularly scheduled program... :)

Not often do I get a request to shoot in the cemetery - but if you know me at all, then you can imagine how excited I was by that.... and then when I found out it was the most adorable, blonde-haired one year old boy - be still my heart!Look at this face!Can you stand it?!!!After the cemetery, we hit up some kudzu and the playground.... Aiden had such a good time. Love these little moments.He has a really sweet mama too... :)Well, I hope yall are ready to get back to some real business... goodness knows, you are probably tired of seeing my mug on this blog... :) I have lots and lots to post - its been keeping me super busy, and for that Im super thankful. Speaking of... I cannot believe its November already! Wow!

That means Christmas is coming up soon, soon, soon.... if you were thinking about getting some pictures done, Im still deciding about the mini-sessions (see bottom of last post), but I need to know something ASAP... like right now! If you are interested, email me at talleyimages@yahoo.com - I would love to hear from you!

Riley - Columbus MS Photographer

As always... only 20 comments get this family a sweet prize... think you could help them out?

Yay for Easter pics... this is Riley. I love taking his pictures because he is always so serious... he makes me really work for his smiles - but oh, they are so worth it. He had us all in stitches by the end of this session, and because the weather was unseasonably warm, it was just plain old fun hanging out with his family (never mind that they are super sweet all on their own!) And check out the outfit - love it... all the way down to the mini bow-tie!

Look at that gorgeous face!

Easily, one of my all time favorite children's pictures. Sweet daddy moment.

Hill family, you know I couldnt love you more.... you have been nothing but gracious to me. I always feel so indebted just to soak up a little bit of your family. Thank you for everything!

This week has been long and trying... glad that the weekend is almost here!

One good thing about this week is all the lovely people Ive gotten to chat with at Coopers Closet. It has been so much fun to hear so many stories from yall... I just love the people who stop to say something - yall totally make my day! If you havent been to Coopers Closet, you probably want to get yourself up there - today is 25% off day and tomorrow is 50% off day... its located at the old Lia Fashions building - next to Hallmark (kind of close to Chilis).... Ive got free chapstick and a sweet deal up at my booth all day... go getcha some... :)

If anyone has any questions at all... please dont hesitate - email totally makes my day! You can find me at talleyimages@yahoo.com - or click on the fan page button at the top right of the page for new announcements and such.

For anyone who is curious... the kids and my sister are healing up nicely... still a ways to go, but we are making it... looking forward to a good weekend ahead!
