Minis | Priscilla Baierlein Photography {Central KY Child and Family Photographer}

Oh my very patient mini session clients. Thanks to all our crazy weather, all (except for May and June) the mini sessions had to be rescheduled. Now, I’m not one to complain about weather, but every month!?! Really!?! But…all was well. We rescheduled and the new dates were perfect. Here are some of my favorites from the April minis. I’m so sad to say good bye to one of my favorite families, but not before I got to do their newborn images, which will be shared soon…soon!

Peace and so much love,

Cilla

2010 Slideshow and a BIG Surprise

admin — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 00:29:34 +0000

I’m back! Like really back. Not just hopping in to tease you. I know…you’ve been so worried. Right?

So, what’s been going on in 2011? After some much needed time off for the holidays, I’m currently working on some left over 2010 orders, a wedding from 2010, and then all of my exciting new things for 2011. I can’t wait to share all the locations for the mini sessions this year! Soon…very soon.

I promise there will lots of fun things to share and write soon, but first I have to share something I’m EXTREMELY excited about. Drum roll please….

I’ve gone through and picked my favorites of my favorite images (please note that not ALL of my sessions are represented. Not even all of my favorites! Trust me…that was hard.) throughout the year and put a fun little slideshow together. Oh, but this is no ordinary slideshow. This slideshow is very very very special. VERY. Hidden in this slideshow, at the very end, is a big SURPRISE. A HUGE SURPRISE. Like if you miss out on this, you will be the lady in the store that snubbed Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and I’ll be saying you made a big mistake…BIG…HUGE. Yes…I know it’s a stretch, but I just keep hearing Julia Roberts in my head saying “Big. Huge”.

So much love,
Cilla

UPDATE: Okay…I have tried and tried and tried, but it’s just not letting me embed this slideshow into the blog post. Technology and I have NOT been getting along the last couple days. Soooo….to view the slideshow please go to

Love..Laughs…and Passion | Priscilla Baierlein Photography {KY Engagement Photographer}

admin — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:51:21 +0000

I really don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at a session as I did this one. I remember my days in high school hanging out with Miss Sabra and our endless hours of goofiness. Pure goofiness. I think I had forgotten some of that laughter and some of that goofiness. I forgot how outrageously funny she is. Did I mention outrageously funny? I mean, singing funny country songs, dancing, saying exactly what comes to mind, and doing anything to make Mike laugh…or say “Sabra!” in his oh-my-gosh…I-can’t-believe-you- did- that tone (that was only called out a couple times…and I pretended not to see what she did to cause such a reaction. giggle). I can’t even begin to imagine how much fun these two have on a regular basis. They packed a whole lotta laughs into a 2 hour span. And a lot of love and passion. Yep…I think these two are going to have a fun, exciting, and passionate life together. Makes me SO happy for my very old friends.

And the real Sabra….

Peace and so much love,

Cilla

This is going to be a really quick post because I know she’s dying to see her sneak peek! This is my beautiful, drop-dead-gorgeous, sister and oh so sweet and handsome fiance. I want to go into great length about how I remember when she was born, how I know I’m going to be an emotional wreck on her wedding day, how she and B are perfect for each other, how I love being around them (even when they fight over directions…lol), how no one understands me in that certain way quite like she does, etc. etc. But…I’m not going there right now. I will cry. I will ramble. I will want the post to never end. This is a quick sneak peek and I promised myself I would be finished blogging by 10:30 and it’s 10:50. So, expect the sappy, oh so sappy, blog post when we do their NEXT engagement session (picture jeans, camp fire, and their doggy Mac).

Keish…I’ve said it a million times…I love you and you’ll never know how much our friendship means to me.

Totally couldn’t decide between color and black and white…so I post both

Oh how I love this street at sunset…

hahahahaha…hahahahaha….obviously out of focus, but I can’t help but crack up when I see this. Yep…Keish thinks I’m hilarious and Brandon thinks I’m crazy. Maybe I’m just a little of both hahahahahahaha…

Peace and so so so much love,

Cilla…aka Sis

Love and Happiness | Priscilla Baierlein Photography {KY Photographer}

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 07:20:33 +0000

This beautiful couple were the oh so lucky winners of the Helping Haiti contest. I have to admit, they were the PERFECT models. There’s so much passion and happiness that you can truly feel it when you’re near them. It makes me happy to photograph people who are content and able to just be themselves and enjoy their “everyday” behavior right in front of my camera. I know this is so much easier said than done for most (as it is for me as well), but they just *got* it. Right from the beginning. They were just happy to be together.

So sometimes it may seem as if I’m right up in their personal space. Well, sometimes that’s true! lol. Don’t be surprised if you hear me say “sorry I know I’m up in your bubble” (or personal space, or business…whichever term I’m in the mood for that day).

Thanks for listening to all my crazy requests…mostly the laying in the tall tall grass part

Peace and love,

Cilla

Natural | Priscilla Baierlein Photography {Berea, KY Photographer}

They were naturals. We spent the whole time laughing and having a great time…despite the very cold wind. It was a quick session…I promised I wouldn’t freeze them. This was the first time I heard Z say more than two words. The initial meeting with bride is normally no fun for groomy. When he opened up and started talking, well, he’s hilarious. It’s meetings like this and sessions like this that make me anxious for the wedding. You ever meet those couples that you can’t imagine them apart? When you’re with them, you can tell. You can feel how happy they make each other. How much they smile and laugh together, sit and just “be”, and lay and cuddle in a patch of grass in down town Berea. Oh wait…that last one probably has nothing to do with how great they are together, but it was pretty funny. Actually…it does show how great they are together. They didn’t question my crazy request. They actually seemed very peaceful laying there and cuddling!

So the first image was one of those happy accidents. I wasn’t going for this, but when I saw the contrast in the clouds in camera, I fell in love.

Why does this remind me of a little street close to the beach. Oh…the beach. PS…they were fantastic “dippers”!

See how happy they make each other…

And they were even good at breaking out the serious side…

I can’t wait until December!

Special | Priscilla Baierlein Photography {Lexington, KY Child and Family Photographer}

admin — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 05:59:53 +0000

Did I mention I’m having a hard time narrowing my sneak peeks down? Well, I just don’t even know where to begin with this one. Ms. H is someone very very special to me. I remember when we were singing “You Are My Sunshine”, having dance parties in the kitchen, I was teaching her my childhood songs, and she was squeezing my face and saying “ccchhheeekkksss” and calling me aunt Cilla. I remember before she was born and how much she has been loved by everyone who met her from the beginning. To see her about 6 or 7 years since the last time and to be able to photograph one of her brothers and sister that I hadn’t met was amazing. I was looking at pictures on the wall of the way I remember her and then talking to her in person, as a teenager, about facebook, Twilight, and boys. I have to say that she has grown into a beautiful young lady. And I adore the two siblings I’ve met (she also has another little brother that I can’t wait to meet!) I have to admit I was a little nervous photographing old friends that I hadn’t seen in so long, but everything flowed so naturally. It was a perfect Easter morning.

I loved meeting Mr. S and little A. Their personalities shined through. You could tell how much they all love each other. We all had fun and they had me cracking up the whole time. It always makes me happy when kiddos are themselves in front of me. Well, needless to say…they all made me happy. I think it shows by how many pictures I wanted to work on immediately when I got home. Or the fact that I was looking through them at every red light I came to on my way home!

Love love love you!

monthly minis | Priscilla Baierlein Photography {Central KY Child & Family Photographer}

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:40:03 +0000

I’ve been meaning to blog this forever! With the first Monthly Mini Session date fastly approaching (March 20th!), now may be a good time to do that! There are only 2 spots remaining for the March minis!

That’s right! Our very popular mini sessions that are normally offered twice a year, are now being offered once a month! Now you’ll have the option of a Signature Session or a Monthly Mini Session. These Mini Sessions will be held in various locations in Central KY (one set location per session) on set dates.

Please click HERE for more information. Make sure to check out the calendar HERE.

The very first date being March 20th and the popular Boyd’s Orchard minis on April 24th.
Of course, Signature Sessions will remain the ultimate custom photography experience. It’s hard to believe, but spring sessions are already booking up! If you have a date in mind for a session, it is a good idea to book as soon as possible to insure your spot is held, both for Signature Sessions and Mini Sessions.

2009 | Priscilla Baierlein Photography {Central KY Photographer}

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:10:17 +0000

Grab a snack and sit back…this is a long one! There may be a little gift at the end. As I’m finally getting use to writing 2010 on my checks, I think back to 2009 and reflect on the good, the bad, and the plain ol ugly. It was my first full year as a full time professional photographer. It seems like things have moved so fast. Sometimes I feel like I’ve made every mistake one could possibly make in one year. But with every mistake, I’ve kicked and screamed and thrown my hands up in the air I’ve learned. I’ve grown. It doesn’t hurt that I have the most amazingly patient clients ever. They have allowed me to figure this crazy thing out (not that I have…or if that’s even possible). There were days that I felt lost and days that I felt I had it all together. In the end, I know my clients better, I know my business better, and I know myself better. Realizing along the way that the best way to do anything is stay true to yourself. I know…it sounds so cheesy, but it’s true. No matter what, I want to share. Share who I am. Share my love for photography. Share in your special moments. Share in your little moments. Share what I see. Share all those things that make your family unique. This is something that has not changed from the beginning and will not change. My main goal will always be to capture a moment. One of the things I missed out on this past year was the sharing of me to you. I got so busy and so wrapped up in our life and the business that I didn’t connect as much as I would like. So, here I am. I know…you’re so excited right? Woot woot!

Well, here’s me sharing my MOST favorite of the favorites from 2009 (yeah…I know…I’m great at that whole narrowing down thing)….

And here’s a video to view even more of my 2009 favorites!

If you are unable to view this or would like to see it larger go to http://www.priscillabphotography.com/slideshows/2009favs/

Now for a few of my favorite MOMENTS that I have been wanting to share.

First…The Pings…This family is one of my favorites. I love their style, each of their personalities, and that I’ve been with them since Abby was 1. I love watching them grow. I love that Scott gets so excited that he will email me or facebook me a million times asking, but he immediately makes up for it when he posts their slideshow a million times. And I mostly love that little miss Abby drew me a pretty picture before our last session. FYI…I still have it up (I keep everything “my” kiddos give me).

I think the storyboard below will tell the story well…

Second…I know I’ve already talked all about this, but I can’t talk about most memorable moments without at least showing this one more time…

Third…this is from OCTOBER! I was suppose to share it way back then, but of course time got away from me. I was beyond thrilled when Skirt contacted little ol me to be featured in their “Secrets” issue. My “secret” was taking the perfect picture of your child. I actually had MY picture taken by the fabulous Carla Winn (before they moved to Seattle ). FYI…I am much more suited for being BEHIND the camera. Another quick little factoid about me…I LOVE jean jackets. I own 3. Yeah…it’s sad.

Finally…ALL CLIENTS FROM 2009 OR EARLIER…thank you for your patience. Thank you for allowing me to be myself. Thank you for sharing your family with me. Thank you for making me a part of your life. I am eternally grateful for you. As a little thank you, each and every past client (one offer per family), may choose from one of the following:

Buy one get one free on gift and wall prints from a past session. Perfect time to complete that wall gallery! Good through the end of February.
Book a session before the end of February to take place no later than April and receive $50 off Session Fee. Session must be booked no later than Feb. 28th.

Looking through my blog, you may notice lots of exciting changes, including MONTHLY MINIS!! That’s right. The fabulous mini sessions that were once only offered twice a year are now offered once a month! Go HERE for more information. So many things that I’m very very excited about! More details coming soon

Peace, love, and xoxo,

Cilla
