Received a call for a last minute wedding!
It was fun!

Y'all know my obsession with ring pictures!

It's the little hand holding the finger that melts my soul!
Oh is this little girl loved form her head to her toe!

I love being blessed to capture magical moments in time!

A friend of mine called and asked if I had a session open as soon as possible. She shared that her father in law was in a battle with time. Cancer sucks!

I know too well how photographs become lasting memories. I am forever grateful for the last few photographs my children have with their own father before he left this earth.

My mission has always been to capture memories that live past this life!

We love full circle moments! Last time we were blessed to see these two amazing parents they had a 6 week old daughter (middle left)! Now they have a son too!

Catching up with old faces is always a great day in the photography world!

The frequency of professional family photoshoots can vary depending on individual preferences, budget, and milestones in your family's life. Here are some factors to consider when deciding how often to schedule professional photos:

✅Annual Tradition: Many families choose to have professional photos taken annually as a way to document the growth and changes within the family over time. This allows you to create a yearly record of your family's journey and capture memories from each stage of life.

✅Special Occasions: Professional photoshoots are often scheduled for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or family reunions. These can be great opportunities to gather the entire family together and create lasting memories.

✅Milestone Events: Consider scheduling professional photoshoots to commemorate milestone events in your family's life, such as the birth of a new baby, graduations, engagements, or other significant life events. These photos can serve as cherished mementos for years to come.

✅Seasonal Sessions: Some families opt to have seasonal photoshoots to capture the changing seasons and create a visual timeline of their family's experiences throughout the year. For example, you might schedule photoshoots in the spring among blooming flowers, during the summer at the beach, in the fall amidst colorful foliage, or in the winter with snowscapes.

✅Personal Preferences: Ultimately, the frequency of professional family photoshoots should align with your personal preferences and priorities. Some families may prefer to have photos taken more frequently to document every moment, while others may opt for less frequent sessions.

✅Budget Considerations: Professional photoshoots can be an investment, so consider your budget when deciding how often to schedule them. You may choose to prioritize certain occasions or milestones for professional photoshoots and supplement with DIY or casual photoshoots in between.

✅Quality Over Quantity: Instead of focusing solely on the frequency of photoshoots, prioritize the quality of the images and the significance of the moments captured. It's better to have fewer high-quality photos that truly capture the essence of your family than to have frequent photoshoots with mediocre results.

Ultimately, there's no right or wrong answer to how often you should do professional photos as a family. It's a personal decision based on your family's preferences, lifestyle, and budget. The most important thing is to cherish the moments you capture and create lasting memories together.

Choosing the right photographer for your beach session is crucial to ensure you get the beautiful, high-quality photos you're envisioning. Here are some tips to help you find the best photographer for your beach photoshoot:

📸Portfolio Review: Start by looking at the portfolios of photographers who specialize in outdoor and beach photography. Pay attention to their style, composition, lighting, and how they capture the natural beauty of the beach environment. Make sure their style aligns with your vision for the photoshoot.

🏝Experience with Beach Photography: Look for photographers who have experience specifically with beach photography. Shooting on the beach comes with its own set of challenges, including dealing with harsh sunlight, changing tides, and windy conditions. An experienced beach photographer will know how to navigate these challenges and still capture stunning images.

🩴Location Familiarity: Choose a photographer who is familiar with the beach location where you'll be shooting. They will know the best spots for photography, optimal times for shooting based on the lighting conditions, and any potential obstacles or permits required for beach photography.

✅Cost and Packages: Consider your budget and compare the pricing and packages offered by different photographers. While you don't want to compromise on quality, make sure the photographer's rates are reasonable and within your budget.

🎉Personality Fit: Finally, consider the photographer's personality and whether you feel comfortable working with them. A positive rapport and good chemistry between you and the photographer can make the photoshoot more enjoyable and result in better photos.

By considering these factors and doing thorough research, you can find the best photographer to capture beautiful memories of your beach session.

Certainly! The best colors and outfit options for a photoshoot can depend on various factors like the location, lighting, and your personal style. However, here are some general tips:

👚👕Solid Colors: Solid colors tend to photograph better than busy patterns because they don't distract from the main subject (you). Neutral colors like black, white, gray, and beige are classic choices that work well for most people. They also provide a timeless look.

👨‍👩‍👧Bold Colors: If you want to add a pop of color to your photos, consider wearing bold, saturated colors like red, blue, or green. Just make sure the color complements your skin tone and doesn't clash with the background or other elements in the scene.

❎Avoid Neon and Fluorescent Colors: Neon and fluorescent colors can be harsh on camera and may cause color casts or reflections. It's best to steer clear of these colors unless you're going for a specific aesthetic.

🏝Coordinate with the Background: If you know the location of the photoshoot, consider coordinating your outfit colors with the background. For example, if you'll be shooting in a natural setting with lots of greenery, earthy tones like olive green or mustard yellow can complement the surroundings nicely.

✅Textures and Layers: Experiment with different textures and layers to add visual interest to your outfit. For example, you could layer a denim jacket over a solid-colored top, or incorporate textured fabrics like lace or velvet for added dimension.

🎀Accessories: Don't forget to accessorize! Statement jewelry, scarves, hats, or belts can all enhance your outfit and add personality to your photos.

🩳🩴Comfort: Most importantly, make sure you feel comfortable and confident in whatever you choose to wear. Your confidence will shine through in the photos!

Overall, the key is to choose outfits that make you feel good and reflect your personal style while considering how they will appear on camera. Good luck with your photoshoot!

Always fun times seeing the Schuler Family! They have gotten married and had children since their last time being Caught in the Act!

I had the pleasure of meeting Booke for her Sweet Sixteen session about 8 years ago! She is now a COLLEGE graduate! Such a beautiful young!

We love seeing young faces grow up!

I have always been blessed!
This senior session hits me a little harder!

Goodness I am old.

This fella here was my little "butthead" during family pictures over the years. Always acting a fool or making a sibling mad. But this year it was all about him!

Goodness has he grown up into an amazing dude!
He didn't question what I was doing (this time) and went for it!

Hard to believe I have been snapping away for almost 10 years of this kiddo!

(Not to late to get your Senior pictures done and those announcements out! I have a few openings next week!)

It’s always a fun day when a 9 month old is on the scene! Lot of squeaky toys, and YouTube videos of Cocomelon 😉

Summer is coming and we are getting geared up to shoot some magical moments!!

Feel free to message or email us for all the details.
