I whole-heartedly believe that one of the best values in the photography education market out there right now are the PhotoVision DVDs.

AND…

They are having a sale!  For only $39 you get 1 year’s worth of photography education DVDs (6).  That’s ONE payment of $39…not monthly! :D

Click on THIS LINK and use the coupon code PVFAN to get the DVDs for $39 instead of the regular price of $149.  You won’t be disappointed, I promise!

Wade, Liberal High Senior {Missouri Senior Photographer}

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Posted in Seniors

Meet Wade.  He is a referral from our Liberal Street Team member, Paige.  Thanks, Paige, for sending him our way!

Tomorrow (well technically today since it’s after midnight :) ) Wade will officially be a high school senior!  He came to us from one of our studio’s most popular schools, Liberal High.

He plays football for the Bulldogs, so of course, we had to do some sports shots (which turned out pretty awesome, if I do say so myself!).

Now don’t let his tough football pictures fool you.  Wade is a really nice guy and is involved in his church.  He wanted to also incorporate that side of him in his photo session.

Wade is a farmer.  He absolutely loves it and wants to continue doing that after high school.  I think that’s awesome that he’s already found his career path at such a young age!

Here he is with some corn that he planted himself.  (Sorry if “planted” isn’t the proper term.  This KY girl still hasn’t learned her farm lingo!) :)

A few taken at their farm:

This one they ordered in a 16×24 gallery wrapped canvas for their wall and it is gorgeous!

When he’s not in school, at football practice, or at church, or working on the farm you can find him driving around in his awesome (and intimidating) Mustang Cobra.  You can fully appreciate this car until you hear it GROWL!   Myself being the owner of a Shelby Mustang 350, I can fully appreciate his ride.

Of course, we took a couple of traditional head shots as well.  Gotta make the grandparents and the yearbook happy!

We finished off the session with his drum set in an open field…love it!

Wow!  That’s a lot of pictures.  Couldn’t help it, though…we had a TON of favorite!  That’s not a bad problem to have :)

All of our senior clients get a free family portrait session and Wade’s family is taking advantage of that this month.  I look forward to working with you guys again!

August 22, 2010 - 3:11 pm Raleigh Senior - Great senior portrait images

The Craig Family, Lynch, Kentucky

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 Posted in Families and Kids

Leslie and I go waaaaaaaaaaay back.  More years than I care to admit. :)   If turning 29 next month didn’t make me feel old enough, photographing my best friend from middle school and her husband and 2 children will sure do it!

All joking aside, I was very very happy when Leslie said she wanted me to take portraits of her family.  Maybe I’m a little biased, but I think family portraiture…especially when the children are young, is SO important.  Those are years that you’ll never get back and unfortunately, the parents don’t have portraits created with their children often enough.  Those few portraits that they do take with them, however, are often cherished by the children when they are adults.

Her little boys were little explosions of energy!  They love everything to do with trains and we took their pictures at an old railroad track with a couple of train cars, so who can blame them for being excited?  Not me! :)

Enough of me talking.  Let’s look at some pictures, shall we?

The Casolari Family, Cumberland Kentucky

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 Posted in Families and Kids

Christy’s son, Brayden, was one of the first babies that I photographed after opening Jessica Edwards Photography back in 2007.  He was only a few months old at the time…not even old enough to sit up!  They are still the proud owners of a 30×40 gallery wrapped canvas of this image (without all the advertising, of course!).

Photobucket

When she heard I was coming back to Kentucky to visit, she asked me to take her family’s portraits and I was honored to do so.
Christy has a new adorable little boy, Zayden and two awesome older children, Lindsey and Logan.

This is Brayden now.  Still has that adorable smile!

Christa, Appalachia High ~ Appalachia, Virginia

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 Posted in Seniors

Christa came to us thanks to her cousin Cassie from waaaaaaay back in 2008.  Cassie was our senior client from the class of 2009.  She came to us from SW Virginia, just like Christa.  Christa told me that she had always admired her cousin’s senior pictures and had wanted me to take hers as well.  Unfortunately, I moved more than 800 miles away before she was a senior.  As most of us know, Facebook has made the world much smaller these days and Christa was able to locate me and let me know that when I came back to Kentucky, that she would drive over from Virginia so I could take her senior pictures.  How awesome!

That time came back in July.  Her whole family loaded up into a couple of cars and made the trip to hang out with her during her photo shoot.  They were a super nice family and I had a good time working with them!

She had some great outfits.  I particularly like her pictures in her basketball uniform and bright yellow tennis shoes.  Everything unique I love! :)

Christa, thank you so much for trusting me to take some of the most important pictures in your lifetime.  I think they turned our wonderfully, if I do say so myself! ;)

Here are some favorites…

Elaine {Southeastern Kentucky Photographer}

Sunday, August 1, 2010 Posted in Portaits

In July, I went back to my hometown for a visit.  I use this time as an opportunity to visit with old clients and make some new ones!   I’ve been talking with Elaine about a portrait session for months, and we finally got the opportunity!  I love that she sees the importance in portraiture even though she doesn’t fit into one of the typical categories in which people use the services of a professional photographer!

She had a ton of cute outfits.   I could have photographed her for a long time!

Here are some of our favorites…

Our Wedding Day {Part 3}

Sunday, July 25, 2010 Posted in Personal

Ok, so people actually DO read things I post here.  A couple of months ago, I promised more pictures from our wedding day and you guys have made me stick to that promise.  I’ve been getting emails, Facebook comments, and texts asking when I’m going to post new images.

Things at the studio have really picked up in the last couple of months due to senior season (my favorite time of  year!) so my own personal projects like this have been put on the back burner until today!  So…here are some more images from our wedding day thanks to Scott Plauche.

Getting ready
