cooper swimming and random thoughts…

Filed under: My Life — terrysphotography @ 9:10 pm

Just the other day we had a good ol’ time out in the yard with Cooper.  She loves the water and Abby loves being in the middle of things.  I can see we will probably be doing a lot of swimming once Cooper gets older!

A little business updates and news:
First I am sorry to all the portrait clients I have been having to turn away.  I appreciate your interest but at this particular time we are not accepting any family/child sessions.  We are working diligently on keeping up to date and on schedule with our wedding clients… and absolutely cannot do more than weddings right now.  However, we do see the light at the end of the tunnel and our getting close to being completely caught up and “done” with wedding proofing and albums.  As of right now I am hoping to announce a select few dates that I will be available for holiday sessions.  It really is about that time to start thinking about Holiday Cards.  Second, hopefully by the end of the week we will be updating the 2008 pricing.  Any clients that we have dealt with previously, we will honor the prices we discussed up until the end of September… if you do not have the package/date booked and reserved by then… we will roll over to the new 2008 pricing.  Thanks guys for dropping in on the blog and if you have any friends getting hitched… send them our way!  God Bless!

Chillin at Chili’s…

Filed under: My Life — terrysphotography @ 10:55 pm

Cooper, Pops, JoJo, Amber, and I all went out to Chili’s after the wedding Saturday!  Cooper loved eating her corn dog and even enjoyed coloring and soaking up the nightlife!  The child’s plate was topped off with a tropical punch chiller that was a little too much for her.  She was funny trying to drink it though.

Danielle and John’s Wedding…

Filed under: Weddings — terrysphotography @ 10:37 pm

This weekend Amber and I got the chance to shoot for Danielle and John at their ceremony which was held at Bella Vista, AR at the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel which was designed by none other than the late Fay Jones.  This glass chapel is amazing and I am so honored we got to be part of this day!  The wedding went off perfectly and was followed by a reception at Scarpino’s at Fayetteville.  Thanks guys for including us and letting us be part of the big day!  God Bless.

Golf…

Filed under: My Life — terrysphotography @ 12:20 am

Somebody very smart once coined the phrase, “A bad day of Golf beats a good day at the office!”  Most of the time I agree with that!  I mainly wanted to keep my blogging streak alive so I figured I would share a shot of the ol’ photographer sharpening up his golf swing.  I got bored the other afternoon so I took my camera out to the course with me.  That was a sight I am sure.  Luckily the traffic at the course was pretty slow!  God Bless!

The Hobbs Family

Filed under: Uncategorized — terrysphotography @ 8:16 pm

A couple weeks ago I got to shoot some pictures for the Hobbs.  Mattie had recently turned one and so they wanted to get some family portraits done.  Jason is the winner of the Biggest Loser contest that I hosted a few months back.  After he won… he told me he wanted to use the winnings to take one year pictures.  So we waited a few months and finally got to shoot them a couple of weeks ago.  Congratulations to all of you.  God bless.

Today I met up with Andrew and Chelsey to shoot their engagement photos… we had a lot of fun shooting even though it was 99 degrees outside with a humidity of 90%!  These guys are a lot of fun and I know their wedding will be a blast.  I am so glad Amber and I have gotten to know them both over the last year or so.  Congratulations guys and I cannot wait until the big day…  God Bless.

PaPa’s 70th Birthday…

Filed under: My Life — terrysphotography @ 8:56 pm

This afternoon we went over to Kristi and Jason’s at Warren to celebrate my PaPa’s 70th birthday.  Kristi and Jason just moved in their new house and just got all the walls coated with some funky color fresh paint.  Martha and I decided to try em out as backgrounds and use some tasty window light to make the pictures pop… we were having so much fun, it wasn’t too long everybody was wanting their picture taken!  Then we celebrated with cake and Cooper helped papa blow out the candles!

God Bless.

Golf with Cooper and The Little Rock Climbing Center

Filed under: My Life — terrysphotography @ 1:00 am

This morning Amber, Cooper, Abby, and I went and played a few holes of golf… Cooper was more interested in the golf cart than anything.   She did have a blast though… i know she is going to turn into my golfing buddy!  Amber snagged a shot of us leaving the green on one of the holes…

then this afternoon we met up with a group from our “newly-wed” sunday school class and went rock climbing at the little rock climbing center!  it was a lot of fun and i will definitely be going back some time.  ** also… a continuation from my camera geek post a couple days ago… most all of these images were taken at iso 3200!  the climbing center was pretty dark! **
