I had the pleasure of photographing Ariane & Mike’s wedding back in 2008 and I was THRILLED when Ariane emailed me months ago to tell me that they were expecting their first child and wanted to schedule a maternity session. The lil’ boy in her belly is going to be one lucky boy to have Ariane & Mike as his parents….they are such a sweet couple and every time they look at each other, you can just see the little playful gleam of love in their eyes.
I have to say once again…that one of the greatest gifts in this business is to be able to photograph the most amazing days in a couple’s lives…their wedding day, their first born child and from there, family portraits. I am truly blessed to capture those moments and be a part of memories that last forever…. 🙂
I wanted to share with you a few of my faves from today. Enjoy!
Many of you already know this…but for those of you who may not know (or new to my blog), I’m happy to say that I am now 14 wks pregnant with our 3rd child. 🙂 Our boys are VERY excited about the baby and Zachary is always asking to listen for the baby (and says “Mommy, Baby says HI to me!”). lol
We’ll be finding out if it’s a boy or girl in about 4-6 wks. I’m leaning towards a boy but everyone else is telling me girl. So, I guess only time will tell! Time can’t go by fast enough though until we find out! HAHA Many of my friends wanted to see an updated pic of my belly so….since my hubby is working tonight, I set everything up and my oldest son, Justin (almost 6 yrs old), took the photo. He LOVES to “help” and take pictures. 😉 Hmmmm, I think I may have a future photographer on my hands!
Belly @ 14 wks
Hey everyone! I am starting a new project for us photographers. Being online, reading blogs, photography magazines, we tend to see the same photographers featured with their bios, stories, successes, etc etc. While all these are GREAT photographers and are WELL-WORTH the recognition that they get, I thought it would be a neat idea to take the time to research every state in the US and see what photographers are out there that are pros, who may not be well-known and their work is very worthy of being recognized.
I know that this will be a lot of work on my end, researching all the states but I think it’s a great idea to network, giving them the recognition they deserve, showing their work to other photogs for inspiration, possibly help them bring in more clients by doing this, etc.
And seeing that there are a MILLIONS of photogs around the US, I’m sure it may be difficult to find just a couple to interview. So, for those of you who may know of a “worthy” photographer to be recognized for their fabulous work, please contact me via email at tj_sweet@verizon.net or thru my website (www.teresasweetphotography.com). If we happen to chose the photog that you mentioned, we will in turn, showcase YOUR business with the same info and interview we conduct with the other photographer.
Ideally, I think it would be great to showcase one portrait photographer and one wedding photographer, as they are two completely different fields of expertise. But we shall see what each state brings.
I’ve asked a great fellow photographer friend of mine, Lynette of Exalt Photography, to help me with this, and together….we hope it becomes a FUN and INSPIRING journey.
Visit & sign up for the email subscription to be updated with all the new posts! Our very first photographer will be showcased tonight as well as another one on Sunday night! Stay tuned and here’s the website to sneak a peek:
