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.

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,

The proposal was beautiful. We had the exact pose picked out. I would have Katosha in front so she couldn’t see John Henry get on one knee. Then I would smoothly have Katosha turn around. It took a little bit for her to notice he was on one knee. She looked at him…thought he was posing….looked at me….then he said “Katosha”. She looked back at him and said “what are you doing?” She couldn’t believe it. It was amazing. I was so nervous I wasn’t going to do this moment justice with my tears getting in the way. He had counted exactly how many days they had been dating and she had been waiting. It was so romantic. I think the most romantic part is that he listened and knew she would love to have these pictures to last forever and remember every moment of it. They are such a beautiful and happy couple. I know this is one that will also last forever…

I’ll stop rambling and show some pictures. Here is the full slideshow of the day!

And some of my favorites

An

James and Marissa’s Wedding…Gorgeous…happy…sweet…and fun

The Harris Family This is in my home town!

Corbett family. Oh my! Such a fun fun family!!! lol. This first one I asked who had the stinkiest feet

Kelly…hot!

Randi and Matthew. Um…wow! Yeah…they are gorgeous. So, I have to admit. The first image may be my favorite engagement picture of mine ever Okay…I have a thing for half face pictures!

Cynclair…happy happy girl! Such a little fire cracker! And her name! I love it!

Smith family…I believe I captured my favorite sibling pictures ever at this session! These girls were silly…happy…and oh so much fun!

Angie and Andy’s wedding. I swear…I have had the best weddings this summer. I haven’t even been getting so nervous I am sick before! Angie and Andy are such a sweet couple. I honestly had a blast at their reception! They even asked for a picture with me!!! 

So, to “catch up” I’m doing one big blog entry with images from all of my sessions that are finished. Hopefully this can get me somewhat back on track with blogging. Be watching for an entry about all of the changes I’ve been making to the business. There were so many things I had been wanting to do to get the business *perfect*. I’ve decided to go ahead and do those things, including new products, new focus in the collections, new packaging, slideshows, and even a new schedule. Hopefully with the new schedule, things won’t be quite as hectic. There are a few things I’m still working on and a few things I’ve already been doing this summer. I’ll also be announcing my holiday schedule soon. Yes…that’s right HOLIDAY schedule! I’m already booking for the holidays and it’s booking up fast! I just can’t believe it.

Enough of my rambing…there will be enough of that soon. Hope you enjoy!

I have to share “their story”. I have forms for all of my clients to fill out that asks for them to tell me about themselves. I always love reading these answers. You don’t know how many times I’ve literally been brought to tears reading how much a Mother loves her children, or how a couple met. I know Emily didn’t think it was a great answer, but I thought it was perfect. She said that they can’t for the life of them remember where they met, but they know that they have been together ever since. Perfect.

I’ll start with my absolute favorite image. We waited to start close to when the sun was setting. I just love the light from sunset. It really made everything exactly how I had imagined it! And don’t you love that yellow dress!?! Emily was a trooper walking around all over the farm for me in her heels.

Thanks to Trey for not allowing us to fall out of the top of the barn. Now THAT would’ve been a story.

They said they couldn’t be serious…

Did I mention they said they couldn’t be serious?

And another reason I love sunset shoots…

And excuse the weird size on this one

Thanks Emily and Trey! You rock!

We had a great time with their engagement pics. They live in a beautiful old house. We really wanted to show a little into their daily lives, so we started in the house. They have so much space! It is just gorgeous!

Well, enough of my rambling…hope you all enjoy the pics! Thank you James and Marissa! I can’t wait for the big day!!!!

And just for fun…here’s an image from my most recent engagement session.

What a crazy month June was! It absolutely flew by. Here the summer is almost half over and I haven’t even stepped foot into a pool. I’m just now getting a chance to sit down and do a blog! I know you missed me Well, get comfy because this is a long one

I can’t resist posting just few more from the Booker wedding.

Miss Lila. Just around 5 lbs at the time of the shoot. She was just so tiny. I don’t think she loved me being there moving her around, but she loved my bean bag

LOVE this nursery!!!

Hendrix is such a good big brother!!! He even put her bassinet together!

The same day I photographed little Miss Lila in Louisville, Bret and I drove to Covington, KY for one of my very best friends wedding! Amy and I were roomies for most of my college days. We got our very first apartment together. We had so much fun that summer! That is also the same summer Bret and I started dating. Amy and our other roomie Kristen were actually the ones who gave Bret my phone number! Words can’t express how happy I am for Amy. She deserves this more than anyone I know. She’s one of the sweetest, funniest, and quirkiest people I know. I was so proud to be one of the ladies chosen to stand beside her on her big day. Everything about that day was perfect and beautiful…well, except for our shoes The reception was at this beautiful place overlooking Cincinnati’s skyline. It was amazing.

Me and my hubby. Oh…like me knew hair cut and highlights?

Next is me and one of my best friends/rock/hope healer/marketing manager/sorority sister. She never fails to tell me (and all her other friends) how much faith she has in me. When I am bummed, she reminds me to keep up my faith and hope and all will be okay. Oh and she calls me ladybug and that makes me happy I can’t wait to photograph her wedding in October! It will be fabulous!!!

Oh…and my birthday fell into all the madness of June. I am 28! I’ve always been a big fan of birthdays, but for some reason I wasn’t thrilled about it this year. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband and wonderful friends who made the day special First, my buddy Jessica bought me yummy cupcakes (see picture below…oh and it’s sitting in my bouquet from Amy’s wedding) and my boss took us all out to lunch! Still, I felt kind of blah about the day. Then I got home and Bret made me oh so happy. He made me sit in the bedroom while he got everything ready. He bought two candles of my favorite scent and had them lit on the dining room table, along with food from my favorite local restaurant (Burger House) on plates (instead of the boxes it comes in). He’s so funny because he does the sweetest things and then always gets very practical gifts. My gift was a desk chair I love it! I keep stealing his and now I have my very own. It feels so much better sitting here typing this then hunched over in the old chair. Oh and he paid for me to go to the UK football women’s clinic Guess he’s tired of me not knowing what he’s talking about!

Next is the beautiful Nichole and Mike! I can’t wait until their wedding…just a week from Saturday!

Next is the Montgomery family! Look how cute these kiddos are. And they are so happy! Isabella talks like she’s 10 years old. I could just listen to her all day. She’s SO funny! I felt so bad leaving when she said “we didn’t get to play just me and you”. Oh break my heart.

Isaac was not about taking a family picture. He just wanted to be in the wagon! lol. We ended up doing some family pictures with the kiddos in the wagon

Did I mention Kevin coaches football with my husband? Of course we had to play some football!

Finally, before I left, Isabella wanted a picture of just Mommy and Daddy. This next one is my favorite from that. Maybe because I know what they were laughing about Don’t worry…i won’t tell  I do just love how she’s leaning into him laughing and he’s holding her hand. I thought it was too sweet.

Are you tired yet? lol. Okay..next is the Costich family. This little sweetie is so cute. She was just happy the whole time…well until the end, but I’ll explain that in a second.

Tea party time!

Okay…so, here’s where the happiness ended. Caroline was twirling around and around showing me her dress. She was having so much fun. She fell a couple times and just jumped back up laughing. Well, you can kind of see what happens in this next group of pictures. See what she keeps getting closer to as she spins. The middle picture is just as she was falling. Of course the last picture is immediately after. I felt so bad for her. It swelled up and turned blue within a minute. Caroline…big kisses to your boo boo. I hope it’s all better now

Okay…the last two pictures. Some of our best friends Bryan and Kelly came to visit last weekend along with their beautiful twin daughters Emily and Olivia. We decided to do a 5 minute “mini-model shoot” (something I made up to make it sound semi cool to the girls). Well, Emily wasn’t having it. Olivia decided to play along and the next two images are my favorite. I think this girl may have a future modeling career. These images were inspired by the great St. Louis photographer Laura Siebert.

For those of you still waiting on your gallery, hold tight I will have them finished very soon

Thanks everyone for your support and sitting through this oh so long blog Now get up and walk around…I promise the numbness will leave your bottom soon

XOXO

I love you doggy, even though you bit me (maybe if I could remember his name, he would like me a little better). I forgive you All the kisses did it for me!
