Time to start scheduling Christmas sessions...

As you know the holidays are just around the corner and that means a lot of holiday picture taking goin' on. Our Fall/Christmas calender is already starting to fill up and it's only July. The deadline for orders is November 25Th. This means if your order is not received by this date you will not get your prints back in time for Christmas, no exceptions. For those of you just interested in Christmas cards we will be having mini-sessions just for you. Details for these sessions will be announced on the blog and fb page within the next few weeks. We may also be mailing out some holiday announcements. If you would like to be added to our mailing list you may send it in a fb mail or by the contact page of www.maddiebug.com. I know it seems a little early to be thinking about Christmas photos but you don't want to miss out on your holiday session. Contact us today to secure you spot. :o)

3 times the fun...

And what a fun session it was!!! Whoever said "three's a crowd" was seriously mistaken. Well at least when it's three adorable, brown eyed little brothers. The oldest should send a photo to Abercrombie, the middle is so full of life, and the youngest was such a ham. This session went by so quick, and I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that the sooner we finished the sooner they could dive in the super cold creek. Of course while they had their fun I photographed, so it worked out for all of us. So to the M's thank you guys for such a fun session and I hope you had a safe trip home. Here are a few to hold you over and I'll be in touch very soon with tons (and I mean tons) more. Enjoy!!!

Twelve...

It has been a while since I've photographed Miss H and I have to admit I was having some withdrawals. We will not wait so long next time. I had forgotten how much fun she was in front of the camera and those eyes...Oh my goodness!!! She just turned "12" yesterday and what is more important to a 12 year old girl than her cell, sunglasses, flip flops, and lip gloss?!?! T & H I had a really hard time picking my faves for this teeny tiny peek, so I hope you guys have made room for the new photos. There are lots and lots more just as cute with shoes, sunglasses and much more attitude. Enjoy!!! I love you guys and will be back very soon with lots more!

Ok...is this weather simply gorgeous or is it just me enjoying these afternoons just perfect for a session? I could seriously get use these just right temperatures and calm breezes! You may recognize this gorgeous, happy couple. I photographed them a few months ago for an engagement and came across a few new locations since, so we met up this afternoon for a quick session at a few new spots. Like before we had so much fun and I could have photographed them all day (especially with this weather), but I have to get home to get the sneak peek done some time. B&J...you know the routine...enjoy and I'll be seeing you guys very soon with lots more.

Is this not the cutest little 3 month old you have ever seen? She was such a little stinker. She would drift off and we thought "ok...here we go she is about to fall asleep and we are gonna milk it." As soon as I'd pull my camera out she'd start cooing and smiling. She was just teasing me. She of course thought it was funny and would laugh every time she woke up from her pretend nap. I really enjoyed this session. This is the youngest daughter of a dear friend of mine. We grew up together and it was a privilege getting to spend the afternoon with her and her adorable little M. She has 4 more cuties at home so I'm sure this is not the last time I will have the pleasure of photographing her or her beautiful children. M, I saw this rest tonight in town...they all remembered my name and hugged me as soon as they saw me. You have some AMAZING children and I can't wait to spend an afternoon with the whole family. Here is the tiniest little peek and I will be back with more very soon.

I have said it before and once again this will not be the last...pretty people make my job way too easy. Does this girl not have the most gorgeous eyes you have ever seen? Absolutely stunning! Every background she was against just pulled out all of the different colors in her eyes. She came with a very open mind and was up for whatever. We went all over the place and had an awesome time. She is so full of life! T...I know you are checking these from your little cubical so maybe these will add a little color to your corner of the office. Here is the tiniest little peek and you know there is a lot more to follow very soon. Until then...enjoy!

Trashin' it!!!

It was 1998, there were several of us that attended a private school 45 minutes outside of Talladega, so we all carpooled together to save our money for the weekend and not spend it on gas. Ginger was just 15 and not driving yet so she carpooled home with me and a couple of other girls. That was the beginning of a very rewarding friendship between us two. We became the very best of friends, and from then on we were inseparable. I love her dearly! It is hard to find a true friend these days, and Ginger is without a doubt a diamond in the rough. We have not seen as much of each other as we would've liked to over the past few years and what better way to spend a much needed day together than playing in the rain, being silly, and trashing a wedding gown? It was just like when we were younger and without a care in the world. I don't think you realize how much you miss some one's company until you have such a great day together like we did today. I hope our next day together is not another few years because I could use days like this more often. She was just married to her one and only this past April and the day was absolutely perfect, and so clean. Nothing like today in the rain, mud, waist high grass, cold creek water, and sticky hot temperatures. But after all we went through to get these shots it was sooo completely worth every single bit! Ginger I had a really hard time picking just a peek, and had so many more I wanted to post as well but we'll save the rest for the proofs. So here are just a few to tease you. I'll be calling you very soon with the rest. I love you and I will never forget this day!!! Thank you for being such a great friend!
