Jen and I always get the same question about how does someone pick their photographer. What do you ask…what is important to know? So here you have it…Selecting the perfect photographer for your occasion! Here are a few simple tips to making your day or session GREAT!
1. Find the style or type of photography you are drawn to. Is it traditional, classic, photojournalistic or the old school look? Is it images that are bold, colorful and saturated or just a simple black and white that is more dramatic?
2. Schedule a consultation to find your perfect match. Whether you meet with 10 photographers or just 1, you need to make sure you are ultimately comfortable with them! Nobody wants to spend the day or session with someone that you are unsure about…client or photographer!
3. Look at more of their work including albums, prints, and other products. Make sure that the quality is what you are expecting from them.
4. Ask about their photographic accomplishments. You would be amazed by what you might not know about your potential photographer!
5. When you hire your photographer, keep in touch with them over the weeks or months leading up to your event. Have meetings, talk via email or go have coffee to chat. Clients are NOT just clients…they are friends! Everyone loves to be in the loop and this helps builds your new friendship. More than likely if your experience is great, you will be working together again in the future.
When we sit down at our consults this is usually what we find out about you! What style you like, end product expectations and mostly if we all get along 
There is a photographer for everyone so don’t be afraid to find them!

Boudoir photography is quickly becoming one of the hottest shoots in town! Honestly, Ann and I never thought of making boudoir a part of our business. One day one of our friends came to us and asked if we would do one for her… “REALLY?” we said? “This is something girls want to do??” YES! She wanted to surprise her husband with some tasteful sexy photos! What a great idea! Then we had another girl email us about the same thing, she wanted to surprise her boyfriend So we started asking around to several different girls and several different TYPES of girls. “Would you want to do a boudoir session ever?” The response was 90% “ooooh! I wanna do one!” again, our response was “Really???” So why not?! We did our first shoot, totally loved it… did our second shoot… totally loved it! We’ve done several shoots since and we have to say we are hooked All the girls had such a great time and when they saw their photos for the first time, they were in love These shoots are awesome for surprising that special someone in your life, but are REALLY great for YOU! Don’t you want to look back 30 years from now and say “Dern! I was HOT!”
Our shoots are very laid back. We come to you or a location of your choice. Ann and I will be there to coach you through poses and make you feel comfortable baring as much or as little as you’d like We typically tell girls to pick up to 3 outfits, 2 really sexy ones and one that’s maybe more laid back (like boy shorts and a tank). Your 4th outfit can be your birthday suit! We shoot very tastefully and classic to make you look your hottest without going overboard… (no White Snake video types here!) We bring music to get you loosened up and Champagne if you’d like! The shoot will last anywhere from 1-3 hours and comes with a 30 day website of all your images. From there you can choose from prints, accordion mini books, albums, discs, calendars, and more! We also have very talented makeup and hair stylists that can help bring the sexy you to it’s fullest potential!
Boudoir shoots make great gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, wedding day gifts, special occasions, or just because! Whatever reason you decide to do a boudoir shoot, you’ll be happy you did. They are so much fun! So let your inner vixen come out and play, you know you want to www.thephotographixboudoir.com
What a great day we had with Kayleigh and Ricky over the weekend. The sun came out! Well only for a few minutes, but still! Just enough time to use it’s rare appearance and help get some great shots Kayleigh and Ricky have been married for 6 years and apparently haven’t had much luck with getting good photographs made of them. I don’t know why, bc Kayeligh is beautiful and Ricky is so handsome! So they called us for round 3, and I’m HOPING that 3rd time was the charm Ricky is in the military and leaving next month for a year, so we got in just in time for him to take some pics with him. I know Kayeligh will hate to see him leave, but hopefully she can look back on these pictures and feel that he’s close to her. It was so great to meet you guys! Thanks again for coming all the way from Clarksville! And as always, thanks to Shannon at Southall Eden for letting us shoot at her amazing farm! xoxo

Shannon O’Kelley with Southall Eden Paperie is one of our FAVORITE graphic designers. She is so innovative and fresh as well as funky and classic all at the same time! She asked if Ann would shoot some of her invites to revamp her website and they turned out fierce! If you aren’t already familiar with Shannon and her work, head on over to her website now and get aquatinted. She’s does all kinds of graphics for any occasion, and you will love everything she does!

Kara is the best friend of one our fabulous brides {We love you Megan}, and she has done some personal hair styling for us as well. When she came to us for some shots of herself for her new website, we were so excited! She wanted to do some SNL “bumper” style shots and we were all over it! We had such a great time doing this shoot for her and we cannot wait to see the final product of her website! We think her shots came out beautiful (hello, she has perfect skin!). What do YOU think?!
