Though it is 100+ degrees outside, it’s hard to believe that portrait photographers across America are scheduling fall sessions…yet it’s true!!! It’s a time many families plan to have their portraits scheduled. The great cool down will begin before we know it!! If you’ve been thinking about calling and scheduling your fall session, I encourage you to do so. Saturday spots fill up so quickly (and in honor of the Lord’s day, I do not work on Sundays). Please…e-mail at cindy@cbtphotography.com if you need to get on the calendar!
To put you in the mind of cooler temperatures and fall days, below are sample images from just a few sessions from last year.
Blessings and Peace,
Cindy
“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.” Psalm 31:24



I recently met up with Mr. P. and his mother for his one year portraits! Mr. P. has the sweetest personality!! I have enjoyed photographing him throughout his first year of life. Like most one year olds, he was quite interested in the rocks where we were photographing, but I enjoyed capturing all his different expressions. Thanks for a great year Mr. P!
Blessings and Peace,

As the Fourth of July approaches, I hope you will take time and reflect why this day is so important. Think about all the men and women who have lost their lives so that we may have our freedom. Think about the men and women who sacrifice their personal time, time away from family, and those who daily risk their lives so that we may have freedom. It’s not a blessing to take lightly.
I’d like you to take it one step further and think about your own freedom spiritually. Are you free from sin? Do you celebrate God’s free gift of salvation? I can’t think of a better example of what it means to really be free than having that of God’s salvation and grace.
I’m so thankful that Amercia’s founding fathers placed their belief and faith in God. John Adams wrote this to his wife: “The second day of July, 1776, [his estimate was off two days] will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”
Let us give thanks and praise to our Lord as we celebrate this Independence Day together.
Blessings and Peace,

I have been photographing this cutie since she was six months old! It doesn’t seem possible that this session was her two year old portrait sitting. I have enjoyed getting to know Miss T’s mom and dad during this time, and I always enjoy hearing what new adventures Miss T has gotten herself into! We certainly had our fair share of adventures together as we wound our way through My Big Backyard photographing this milestone in her life.
Blessings and Peace,

Mom commissioned me last year to travel to Oxford, MS to take photos of her sweet baby M for the next year. Since I’m already in Collierville, the drive out to Oxford really hasn’t been too bad of a drive! Mr. M’s cousin joined us for the photo session that day for twice the fun. Can you believe Mr. M wasn’t feeling well that day? When I left, Mom seemed so disappointed as I know she had been looking forward to his session. When she received the link, she was so happy with our captures of the day! I absolutely LOVE working with this family!
If you are in Oxford and are interested in having portraits made of your infant, baby, child, family, bride, wedding, or commercial business, please be sure to contact me!
Blessings and Peace,
Cindy
