Beautiful couple, right? Yes. He made her laugh the whole time. So all of these wonderful smiling, giggling photos are as genuine as they come. And he was one of the few men who was actually willing to get his photo taken. I’ve been having great luck with my sessions lately.

This was the most fun family session I have ever done. Seriously. They were relaxed, goofy, fun, willing, and even came up with their own ideas or just started playing around without direction. It was AWESOME! Thanks guys.

Having someone who is laid back, fun, up for anything, and comes up with ideas is the best kind of person to shoot. This is exactly how Teale was. She was amazing!

Shooting an incredibly beautiful girl like this is really depressing. But I’m very happy with how the photos turned out! So gorgeous. Plus, she’s one of the sweetest people ever.

Here is the full post on Madison! I still have some more photos to edit but I can’t put ALL of them on the blog, right? In this post, you finally get to meet the parents. They’re going to be the best parents of all time and you’d have to meet them to know what I mean. He’s a complete natural at being a dad and she is just the sweetest person you will ever meet but also extremely down to earth and will say anything. People like that always make me feel comfortable. And let me just say, you can tell they’re so in love. He did the sweetest thing that I’ll always remember. She was talking to me and he was looking at her and just so nonchalantly brushed her hair with his fingers and put it behind her ear. ::sigh::

So after she got pooped on, peed on, and spit up on, we got a few shots of the parents with their angel.

I edited a few more of Shikeyah from the bridal shoot. She’s incredibly stunning and guess what? I’m doing her wedding in April! I can’t wait to see her beautiful dress and take photos of her and her groom.

Hey everyone, Easter is coming up and we all know you love to whip out those Easter outfits you spent so much money on and show them off.

Here’s how it’s going to go. The mini sessions will be $150; That includes up to 3 people, CD of 10-15 images, 30 minutes. They will all be at my studio, indoors or outdoors, or both if we’re super fast!

The mini sessions will be held on March 9th from 10a.m.-3p.m. and on March 12th from 10a.m.-3p.m..

Email me at Stephwest@myblackbirdphotography.com to schedule a time.

**If you are not on time to your session it will take out of your time, so if you show up 15 minutes late, you will only have 15 minutes for your session. The payment is due through paypal or check at the time of scheduling to hold your spot. All payments are non-refundable but may be used towards future shoots if you can’t make it to the mini session.**
