Syleah….

baedavis — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:26:13 +0000

Oh Wow! What can I say…first things first…Congrats to Ms Syleah, on her most recent graduation from the University of Alabama (class of 2012)!! Not only is this young lady gorgeous but she is super smart, and fashion savvy (be sure to check out her shoes on the railroad tracks). The opportunity to photograph her was so much fun. She had her outfits planned out to perfection, flawless makeup, an assistant (her mom lol), and a smile that any photographer would love.

The one thing, out of many, that stood out about Syleah was her personality. With some people you come across you have an instinct that they are just all around good people. That is the instinct that I had with Syleah, she is just all around good people. Syleah was open to try everything and was just as excited about the session as I was. her attitude was positive and at the same time generous. She was willing to give what it took to get great shots and she was a champ in tall heels and rocks . Overall we had a great time during this session and I believe the outcome was fantastic.

If you missed Syleah’s sneak peek, be sure to check it out HERE.

Till next time….

52 Week Project Week 18 / The Innermost Beauty

baedavis — Wed, 23 May 2012 14:14:58 +0000

Can you guess what this is ???

It is colorful, it blooms, it smells great, it attracts big bumble bees, multiplies every year, and they have grown as tall as me….(yes I am a little on the short side )

It is a……Lilly!!

The one thing I love about flowers are the different angles and the different looks that you can photograph.I can never get tired of photographing flowers…. It is truly a treat to photograph them as they bloom every year. Each year they grow taller and taller and each year they multiply. This year I believe I am up to 100 Lillies where I started with 6 small ones! So of course I take advantage of the photo ops every year. I hope that you all enjoy this weeks post Till next week!

A Memphis treat from The Molton’s

baedavis — Thu, 17 May 2012 12:52:48 +0000

A few weeks ago I took a trip to Memphis, Tennessee to photograph the wonderful, fabulous, super sweet Molton family . This session was so much fun on so many levels, but the two things that stood out for me the most was the togetherness of this family and the love. Throughout the entire session this family interacted as a cohesive unit. They joked, they played, and they were each models in their own right! It was sooo much fun to be apart of the family time with the Molton’s and even more fun to share in their excitement over the photos. I believe Apryl and I have text so many times that we are now BFF’s .

All in all, it was fun to capture Apryl who SAID she was not photogenic but with the help of Kris we got some great photos. Not to mention KJ who didn’t want to crack a smile and literally ran from the camera but ended up with some of the best pictures which from what I hear he was so excited to see. I can’t forget Miss Kris who is the cheerleader/model in the making and was picture ready. Mr Jordan…Our 2012 Senior was also on deck as our male model BUT he had strong competition with Dad Keith on who would get the ‘Best Model’ award:-) In the end I think they all won the best model and one the best families awards.

I had a GREAT time with Apryl, Keith, KJ, Jordan and Kris and I cant wait to photograph this family in the future…..

52 Week Project Week 17 / The Warrior

baedavis — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:39:13 +0000

This time last year I was getting ready for my trip to Greece….which may I add was one of the best trips ever. On that trip I literally walked all over Santorini and Athens, in and out of every store that sold the small statues, looking for this particular type statue. The difference between this statue and all of the other statues that I saw was that this one was made with a particular quality. Now that I look back on the memories of that trip, I am very happy that I took the time to search high and low for this one souvenir. It holds a certain sentimental value

I hope that you all have enjoyed this weeks post . I believe I will post a few pictures from my trip to Greece in the upcoming weeks….this will give me the motivation to finish editing all of the pictures…lol

One of the absolute most beautiful families ever…The Mills

baedavis — Thu, 10 May 2012 14:15:06 +0000

Have you ever met a family that was totally in sync? Have you ever met a family where not only they were family but they were genuine friends as well? Have you ever met a family that was genuinely just all around nice AND supportive?? I have and that family is the Mills (Owens/Purdue) and I can honestly say that I love them all to pieces.

This shoot was a lot of fun…I mean really …a lot of fun! I believe Mama Mills out shined them all . Not only was she photogenic but she made the most fun out of it.Tiffany was the true diva (in a good way!) and knew exactly how to pose and ultimately be the perfect model. Stephanie was the happy one with the genuine smile. Ms. Kenny…what can I say…she was serious one minute and when the camera lens fell on her….she broke out the cover girl smile. Dont let me forget to mention the interaction between them all that truly showed how great they are as a family, their beautiful personalities and how wonderful they are to each other.

I had a great time catching the smiles and the laughs of this fabulous family. I am truly appreciative of how supportive this family is of me and their friendship over the years. I soooo look forward to photographing this family again in the future. Maybe next time the men and the children will tag along . Be sure to check out Stephanie’s session from last year by clicking here!

52 Week Project Week 16 / A Flower…Again :-)

baedavis — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:44:15 +0000

Another week, another flower…I love Spring and the fresh blooms…I love freshly bloomed flowers because they are just naturally beautiful and they hold a certain mystery to the normal non scientific person of how they grow and become so beautiful from the inside out….Sorta like life eh? The beauty is always inside of you and as you live life you just continue to bloom…Just like a flower, your beauty shines

I hope that you all enjoyed this week’s post! Don’t be surprised if you see a few more flowers over the next few weeks . My yard is in full bloom!!

The Beauty of Love between a Mother and Son…

baedavis — Thu, 03 May 2012 13:56:55 +0000

Two of my favorite clients are Ms. Keneisha and Mr. Brayden Harris. Not only do Keneisha and Brayden love pictures but they have a great love for each other and it shows. It is fun to see the gentleness and playfullness between the two. It is fun to see the kindred spirits and the sweetness. It is fun just to be in their company. I overly enjoy the relationship that I have built with these two. I love the texting and sharing with Keneisha and the genuine hugs from Bray Bray when I see them out. It means alot when Bray Bray will tell others that Ms. Tiffanie is his photographer all the way at Disney World

This week I am posting a few more photos from their session. Initially I just posted the Sneak Peek but now I finally get to share a full post. During this session after Keneisha’s long spill about not liking to take pictures by herself and her pictures never turning out good….I got to actually photograph Keneisha by herself…and……she loved the pics…lol! check them out below along with the photos of her and Brayden that beautifully show the beauty of the Love between a Mother and Son.

52 Week Project Week 15 / Flowery Spring!!!

baedavis — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:00:29 +0000

One of my favorite things about spring are all the beautiful flowers that bloom. It’s the perfect time to take out the macro for some macro fun. This week I took a picture of a flower on my Uncle’s deck…it’s always fun to get the many angles of one single flower. Hopefully as my flowers begin to bloom I will be taking a few more..

I hope you enjoy this weeks post!!

Prom 2012 | John Carroll High School

baedavis — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:36:47 +0000

This past weekend, I had the extreme pleasure of photographing 8 fashionable, stylish, mature, super sweet high school juniors from John Carroll High School who were willing and able to pop out poses and smiles like true models. They came, they handled their business and loaded up in their awaiting limos (yes…plural!) like true superstars.I must say I was very impressed by this group. They and their parents had it together in every way. Man, I wish I was attending the prom again so that I can do something like this:-)

This week I put together a video of some of the pictures from the session so that you can see the beauty of this group of youngsters. I hope that you all enjoy!

52 Week Project Week 14 / Something about Railroad Signs…

baedavis — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:30:54 +0000

For some reason I have this weird fascination with railroad tracks…Why? I really can’t tell you but I think they are so cool. While out on a session this week, I snapped a quick shot of this railroad sign…I am curious to know what those numbers are for…

I hope that you enjoy this weeks post!
