Memphis, TN baby children family high school senior wedding photographer » Memphis TN photographer of babies, children, families, high school seniors, engagements, weddings.

I am soooooooooooo behind on blogging!! As most photographers know, it takes quite a bit of time to resize images, post them to the blog, and then write a blog post about these fabulous sessions! I am still working on blogging some of my amazing fall sessions and weddings (hides head!). I usually have a timeline of how sessions get blogged, and I really don’t like to deviate from that process. However, at one of my sessions this past weekend, one of my loyal clients mentioned to me that she had never been on the blog. WHAT?!?! I find that so hard to believe since I have been photographing her and her family since 2007. Yep, since 2007! I could go back and check, but it’s more fun to let loose this week and post a little sneak peak of some FABULOUSLY fun sessions I have been blessed to photograph this past week. These images are DEFINITELY teasers, and readers probably won’t see the full sessions of these until months later. After all, I still have November, December, and January sessions left to blog .

First up: Check out this GORGEOUS nursery! It belongs to a beautiful baby girl, Miss MLF. Her parents and grandparents did everything in this nursery all by themselves! Love love!

Next, check out this little guy. Ironically, he lives right around the corner from Miss MLF. I drove out to Memphis to take his newborn photos, and I think he was right at 7 days old in this photo. So precious!

My next session took me out to Germantown, TN. Here’s another client I have been photographing since January 2008. Mom and I always have the best time and conversations together. She’s always up for some of my crazy ideas. The funny part of this story is Miss L had lots of outfits ready for our session, but who could resist an empty laundry basket and a cute baby?

And, my 2007 client and friend! We had such a crazy, fun time at our maternity and family session in Eads, TN on Saturday. The whole family had me laughing so hard I almost cried. Sometimes I have an idea inside my head, my brain is working overtime, and my mouth can’t function properly. It’s a good thing these guys like me, and we can all enjoy a good laugh!

I’m so incredibly blessed to work with and photograph so many amazing clients and friends. Thank you all so much for new support, continued support, and referrals. It’s my absolute joy to capture these moments for you. God is so good!

Blessings and Peace,
Cindy

Thought for the day:
Romans 14:13
So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.

I just love big families! I love it when someone contacts me to photograph a large family unit. I think these photos are so important to document. Though times may change, it’s so important to recognize the importance of capturing families, just as they are, in that moment in time. How special it is to look back at photos hanging on the wall over time. For this session, Mr. and Mrs. H. decided the men would wear white and the women would wear red. We took these photos at a nearby neighbor’s home. Don’t you just love the rustic barn and country landscape? Thanks for letting me document this moment in your lives H Family!

Blessings and peace,
Cindy

Thought for the day:
1 Corinthians 4:20
For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.

I have been photographing S since he was just an infant. His parents have this fantastic home on Mud Island, and it’s one of my favorite locations to use when we meet up for photos. This time, mom and dad decided to join in on the portrait fun and visit some of their favorite downtown Memphis locales for their portrait session. I love that! S’s very FAVORITE pastime is riding the trolley. If you stop and think about it…having a trolley line is a pretty unique Memphis feature! Although there are several images I loved from this session, my personal favorite is the family image on the bridge with the city in the background. They really are such a happy family. Thanks for another great session B Family!

Blessings and Peace,
Cindy

Thought for the day:
Hebrews 4:16
So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Today’s blog post is a sobering reminder that we are not immortal. If you are like me, you want to believe that small children should be “exempt” from facing death. Shouldn’t they get a chance to grow up, see the world, and have children of their own? It’s one of those moments I want to cry out in frustration, yet I know in my heart of hearts that’s not the plan God has in this story or any story that doesn’t have the “perfect” ending to life as we mortals envision it.

Sweet baby H passed away yesterday after a life long illness. I had the privelege of meeting her and her family on a sunny December day at FedEx Family House. I truly believe that my meeting them was a God arranged moment, and it’s one that I will never forget.

It would be so easy to get angry at God or question His motives. WHY DOES A BABY HAVE TO DIE??? To be honest, I have done this in my own life during major health trials of a loved one. But, I keep learning that God’s people will suffer. He will test us; He will draw us closer to Him. Even last night’s lesson at church in the book of James–so appropriate. We must have faith and hope that God WILL bring us through any circumstance. One of my favorite quotes: The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not sustain you

I may not understand the death of a little child like sweet baby H, but I am confident that God is a God full of love, and His ways are higher than our own. Often times in life we must have faith, pray, and go to God’s word in situations like that of sweet baby H. Please join me in praying for sweet baby H’s family.

Blessings and Peace,
Cindy
