Congrats to everyone!

1st place: Riley!

2nd Place: Alexa!

3rd Place: Madelyn!

Dannyelle

Dannyelle, her crew, (lol I'm playing) and I met up at the Big Oak to start off her Senior Session and kicked off our 2 hour adventure I think, with a bang! She had the best "roll with the flow" attitude and did anything I asked, was willing to pitch in her own ideas, and to top it off is beautiful inside and out. I had a blast if I haven't made that clear yet. After The Big Oak, we headed to the alley @ Liam's Restaurant and even though she probably thought I was crazy when I asked her to get in the window sill she did it anyways and ended up loving it. Once we were done jumping in and out of windows there we headed to the Rose Garden & Cherokee Lake where we climbed onto the railroad tracks and finished up by the lake. If you haven't gotten the picture yet here are some samples to help you along...

What's going on here...

Let me just start by saying that I feel so blessed and lucky to have had the chance to meet such amazing people these past two weeks. The Summer Sweeties Contest is almost over and I have several sessions left to do and I'm looking forward to them. I think my favorite sessions are Toddlers, Seniors, and Couples!

I love all types of photography and could plan my days doing one session after another all day but I love to photograph children, they bring so much joy into the world that you can't help but love them and their little personalities! Seniors always have so much spunk and have their own unique ideas that adds that little something extra to the sessions. Couples, especially newly engaged couples...it's like capturing the butterflies with each snap of my camera! That stage where everything is new and you can't get enough of each other just screams at me through my lens and reminds me why I love photography so much!

With all of this said I can't express how much it means to be that my clients want to share their experiences with me...they trust me enough to capture the moments that only last for that short amount of time and I cherish that trust because I, myself have trusted others and know how much they meant to me to be able to look back on and remember!

Because I know how much these moments mean I am always working, searching, trying to find new, innovative ways to add to my style of photography as well as adding new offers so that everyone can find that one thing that they love to cherish their memories in a different way.

I am so absolutely giddy to announce that next week Backward Glance Photography & Design will have a new, fresh, website that I am in looooooove with! I cannot wait! Since the moment I decided to change the site that very night I dreamed about it all night long and how it would look and what I would do differently and what I am going to add and I'm so excited. Yes, I know I'm a dork, but just wait!

So many new things are coming up within the next few months and I hope you all will be just as excited as I am as time passes by and each one new item and/or change is announced! So make sure you keep checking back and leave comments anytime, anywhere especially on this blog. I love to hear from my clients and their friends and family...

Alexa

This morning I traveled to Tallahassee to meet up with Alexa at MaClay Gardens and she was such a doll and her mom even let her play in the water!

Rusty & Riley

These two boys were an absolute trip it doesn't hurt they're cute to boot!

Chloe

I couldn't have had more fun at work if I had tried during this photo session. Chloe is a 5 year old natural, but the pictures wills peak for themselves!

Kierstynn

This little girl has more artistic style than anyone I have ever seen. She was a sleepy one during the shoot but she made it through and as always looked adorable!

Madelyn

Too cute 2 year old Madelyn came to be a part of the Summer Sweeties contest and to have her two year old portraits taken. She turned two just last Saturday!

Tanner

My camera loved this little ham for his session for our Summer Sweeties Contest! He'll be back on July 5th for his 2nd Birthday Pictures and I can't wait!

Summer Sweeties Contest

I am so thrilled with the turn out of the contest entries! I just announced the contest and I already have so many cute little ones participating I am super excited! If you are interested or just need more information before deciding don't hesitate to call or email me I'll be glad to book your appointment or answer any of your questions! Make sure you keep a look out because we have some super cuties coming your way!

Cailee's 4th Birthday Session

Cailee is turning 4 in July and we had her 4th birthday session yesterday @ The Big Oak here in Thomasville. She's such a little model and most of these shots even though they appear "posed" were her posing herself. I think they turned out great! Here are a few photographer favorites from the session.

We're back!

Although I didn't get time to post any pictures while we were gone and still haven't had time to, we are now officially back from Vacation although most of last week I worked off and on. The changes previously blogged about will be posted through out the week. New items, new custom design items, Senior 2009 packages, a few price changes as well as new packages. If you've already booked an appointment the current prices will be held for you until after your two week order date has expired so you will still receive the package prices and so forth that were set when you booked your appointment.

Some updates.

So far so good. I have most of the orders and payments in to get everyone out their prints. So many orders I could barely believe it. Vacation will be bitter sweet for me. It will be the first time I actually "leave" Backward Glance for any amount of time since I opened. I've worked around the clock since the day this all began. Late hours, early mornings, you name it. I never could have imagined how happy it would actually make me to get to be a part in all of the memories of my clients. I will make sure I still take plenty of photos while we are gone and I'll post some of my favorites when we get back, so make sure you check back!

Finally, I had time to add the photo jewelry back to our website you can check it out here at our Shoppe . I promise to have more added by the time we open after vacation. Some new things like mommy cards, a lot more graphic design offers, photo statuettes, gallery wraps, photo puzzles...and much more!

A few other changes will take place once we're back so make sure you check back! I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
