NEW SERVICE! Photo Editing and Restoration Services

Hi there!  I hope you are enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon where you are, just as we are in beautiful Memphis, TN.

We are excited to offer a new service to our customers.  We now offer Photo Editing and Restoration. (Visit our Editing and Restoration Services Tab for more information and pricing.)

Many times, we take pictures of family, loved ones, friends, scenes that we love, but once we view our images, we may then see something in the background we wish was not there, or there's just something missing that we wish we could put our finger on, that would turn this snapshot into a GREAT Image!!

We can help with our Editing Services.  We can remove distracting elements of an image, we can correct minor flaws or issues, we can enhance/change the background, just about anything that will turn that snapshot into a wonderful treasured memory to enjoy for years to come.  Here are a few "before and after" images to show you just a few examples of what can be done:

Many of us have lots of old, frail, deteriorating images of loved ones, places we've been, things that mean a lot to us.  They are cracked, fading, peeling, perhaps have mold and water damage, etc.  We wish we could preserve them.  Well....now you can.  We offer Restoration Services to help you do just that.  We can help preserve those old images and bring them back to life for you to have for a long time.

Day 3 of 30 Day Challenge - Clouds

Day 3 - Clouds, a photo by Still Sweet Photography on Flickr.

The theme for Day 3 of the 30 Day Challenge is Clouds!  Anyone who knows me, knows that I love nature photography. I love doing scenic and landscape shots just as much as I enjoy portrait photography. Trying to capture that "perfect scene" is what I always strive for. I love sharing those beautiful scenes with others.

God's world is just so beautiful if you just open your eyes and look around. This shot was taken while I was riding in the passenger side of the car with Hubby driving at Shelby Farms in Memphis, TN. I saw the rays coming down, thought it was beautiful, leaned out the window and snapped a few. Remember....take your camera with you everywhere you go cause you never know what you may see!

Okay, I haven't looked at tomorrow's theme. I don't want to peek until tomorrow so it will be a total surprise to me! :) See you then!! Have a blessed evening everyone and an awesome weekend!

Day 2 of 30 Day Challenge - What I Wore Today...uh...Tonight!

Day 2: What I Wore Today....uh...Tonight!, a photo by Still Sweet Photography on Flickr.

Okay, Day 2 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge came and went and I was not able to get it on my Blog until today (because of Flickr issues). Sorry about being "a day late and a dollar short!" :)

The theme was "What I wore today" and it was so interesting to see all the different ideas that others came up with for the challenge. It wasn't just about clothes either - there were lots of pictures of jewelry, makeup, shoes, etc.  It was so much fun seeing the various interpretations!

Of course, this is NOT what I wore to work! Oh my goodness....NO! :) But...once I'm home I like to get comfy, chill, settle in on the love seat and watch T.V....and these are the best chilling clothes - my gray sweats and my "I <3 NY" tank top given to me by my sweet Hubby from a business trip to New York. He does stuff like that! Just about everywhere he goes, he will try to find something to bring home to me and I love it. Oh, and I love Him too!!!! :) Well, I'll see you all tomorrow for Day 3 of the challenge. The theme is "Clouds!" That will be fun!

Day 1 of 30 Day Challenge - Self Portrait

Day 1 - Self Portrait, a photo by Still Sweet Photography on Flickr.

I've decided to do a photo challenge. Never done one before, but I think it's about time. I don't think I could ever make it through a 365 day a year challenge but this is only a 30-day challenge. So, during the month of June, I will be posting a picture each day that falls under the theme for that day! Hmmmm....we'll see how good I do at completing this challenge!!! Some of the days may be "quite a challenge" - no pun intended!!

You may even want to join the 30-day challenge...it's not too late! Check it out here: http://whitepeachphoto.com/2011/05/25/photography_challenge/.

I Heart Faces: Bubbles Photo Challenge

My first ever "I Heart Faces" Photo Challenge.
I've always wanted to enter one of these and just never took the time to figure all the details out for doing so. When I saw the "Bubble" theme, I KNEW I had to do it, because I just love this BUBBLE Photo. She looked like a little Fairy Princess staring at the bubble. And, YES, the bubble is real and was not Photoshopped in. It actually floated right in front of her face and burst on her nose right after this photo was snapped. Hope you enjoy!

And by the way, we got some really great shots during this session and I'll share more later. Thank you for looking.

Hannah Banana!

Man, I just LOVE my job! Do you know just how much fun it is to capture such precious moments as I did recently with little Hannah and her parents? Children are such a joy and so much fun....take a look at her sneak peek!

Mommy did a great job of decorating Hannah's room...the bright blues and yellows were so cute and so inviting...great job, Mom!

I think Hannah must have recently discovered her tongue cause she and her Daddy sure were having fun trying to determine who could stick theirs out the most!

Hannah was so sweet and so cooperative...for a while...then, it was like...."Okay, Lady...enough already!"

I knew when it was time to quit! :)

Jim & Lana - Love Always

One of the sweetest things for a photographer to capture is a precious couple in love. There is such joy and warmth and passion in a true love relationship and I was honored to capture this moment for Jim and Lana.
Here are a few glimpses of their recent photo session.

Don't you just LOVE her jeans??

Thank you, Jim and Lana! God's blessings on a wonderful life together!

Sweet Brooklyn

I absolutely adore doing baby and family sessions. I had the privilege of doing a session with six-month old Brooklyn and her parents recently and, oh my goodness, what a sweeet couple and a precious baby girl.
Photography is just SO much fun! Here are a few from that session.

Are those not the bluest eyes you've ever seen??

Then I also wanted to share this one in the black and white version. She is such a doll!

Thank you, Mom and Dad...and Brooklyn, for a wonderful session.

Looking forward to the next one!
