Unique Motifs Personalized Photo Mats are here!

I am very excited to say that I am the first photographer to carry Unique Motifs’ personalized photo mats! Deana, the artist behind Unique Motifs, and I met a couple weeks ago at the Kool Kids Consignment sale where we had booths side by side. I loved her work right away, and knew all of you would too! I have picked out my samples to have on hand to show all of you and she is getting them ready along with her updated catalog.

Meanwhile I bought my first mat from her, it was a custom order for a very special person in my life. I asked Deana for a mat that would hold four 5X5 inch images that had some water color bubbles. What she created exceeded my expectations. This is for my friend Kristi’s bathroom wall and features her little boy Rowdy at 9 months playing in a bubbly bathtub. I will be showing you more designs soon, but first here is my first custom mat by Deana Revels of Unique Motifs.

You can view more of her designs on her Etsy store and become a fan of her work on Facebook! Email me if you are interested in ordering one of these beautiful mats to add to compliment your photographs!

For Our Moms

This morning I met Nikki, her daughter Addie, and her mother for some pictures of Addie and her grandmother. These were very special pictures because they were in celebration of the kind of mother and grandmother this wonderful woman has been. I will let Nikki tell you why:

“During my postpartum depression, she quit her job, moved 4 and 1/2 hours away from her home, just to take care of me. She is the most amazing mother and grandmother! She deserves a treat with her grandbaby who she basically raised while I was recovering. She lived with us for almost a solid year, just so I could get better. I definitely see that she is deserving (of a photo shoot).”

Aren’t our mothers wonderful? If you know of another mother who has done something amazing or weathered a tragedy, leave me a comment and let me know. She may get a free session!

You shoot weddings?

No, not really.  Every now and again someone talks me into it though. 🙂

Aime and Zachary got married yesterday in a small church outside of town. It was a beautiful day and a perfect, simple and elegant wedding. Their reception was held at the lovely historical fire station in Ruston. I love working with couples whose focus is more on the relationship instead of the wedding, this was one of those couples. Thanks Aime for making me part of your day, you were great to work with!
