Happily Ever After: Engagement Session

  I was so thankful to get the opportunity to photograph this darling couple!  They are getting married this summer and are doing things Gods way.  I am so proud of them for standing by their beliefs in a world that doesn’t support that!  I wish them all God’s best as they move forward on one of the most amazing, hard journeys one can embark on…becoming one in marriage.  The very picture of Christ and His church.

Senior Class of 2012: Allyson & Collen

  4 little Fergusons Photography is growing and I am so so thankful, that the Lord is allowing me to use this to supplement our income. I love photography so much!!! 

  My poor poor wrist is having some trouble though. I seem to have disturbed an old injury I used to go to physical therapy for, and can hardly move it after I edit for a few hours.  Yikes.  I didn’t know your body started falling apart at 30!!!!!!!!

  Anyhow, without further adieu,  Allyson then Collen.  Thanks guys, for such fun, light hearted Sessions!!! Congrats on your upcoming graduation, I wish you all Gods best!

~T

P.S. I read a cute saying:

“Class of 2012: Don’t you wish you could be 1-2?”

Haha, get it?! CLEVER!  🙂

4 little Fergusons Photography: Class of 2012, Heather

This is post 2 for today, be sure to check out Deep South Gooey Butter Bars.

I recently had the privilege of photographing a Senior from our church.  Her personality shines through these photos, and we had quite the adventure trying to get some of these shots!

4 little Fergusons Photography: Welcome home, Soldier!

This is Post 2 for today, be sure to go back and catch “Chicken Every Sunday”.

It was my privilege to get to photograph this sweet father-son duo when Daddy came home on leave last month from Afghanistan, as well as some striking couple shots of him and his soon to be fiance.  I had so much fun working with them!

4 little Fergusons Photography: Paxton ~ 18 months old

  Paxton is 18 months old!  Time for a photo session. (better late than never)

  IMG_2582

   This is my first session done WITHOUT my very very favorite editing program.  It makes me want to cry that I will not have access to Picnik’s easy to use tools, texts and collages.  Even though it’s not gone for good yet, I MADE myself edit in Lightroom tonight. MADE MYSELF! 

  It is better for me to practice and tweak on my own kiddos than someone who is paying me to take their session. I have GOT to learn this program and soon

  It was difficult and I seriously was seeing spots by the time I was done, from staring at all those tiny sliders and words, ugh.

  Without further adieu, (or whining) I give you, my first edits in Lightroom of my sweet baby Pax.

I KNOW they need work, some are too blue, some are too red, some are too green, they are all darker than I like them to be…Rrrrr!!!!  I’m working on it, and practice makes perfect, right?!?!?!  Oh yeah, I said no more whining. 

Carry on! 🙂

4 little Ferguson Photography: Sweet Baby Maggie Beth

  This is sweet baby Maggie Beth:

201

She turns one today!

  Her parents asked me to photograph her 1st birthday party, a huge shin-dig with nearly 100 people! (so I was told, don’t have the official head count)

284347357284 (2)text1

  Her parents brought her over to my house the next day for a photo session, things started out great!

461-text2462

Then, the mean ol’ Rooster crowed and scared her silly!

469 (2)477

Poor baby. (but what a CUTE cry face!)

We spent the better part of the next half hour trying to console the poor dear.  Thankfully we still got some shots.  You know those moments just make you sweat as a parent, but I kept reassuring them that this was totally the story of my life and not to worry!

I heard a Rooster, I just know it!

Maggie Beth’s favorite part?  When her momma let her sit in the dirt pile.

4 little Fergusons Photography: Wedding Bells

  Ok, so I KNOW I said I would not be shooting weddings anymore, because they are a lot of work and I don’t feel equipped to deal with brides “Dream Day Expectations”?!?!  Well, how could I say no to this PRECIOUS couple that goes to our church, who just so happens to be the brother of one of my dear, dear friends.  So, I said yes.  Because I love them and because the wedding was small.  I can deal with small, right?

  Other than my camera breaking 15 minutes after I began to shoot, YES, I had a BALL!  My friend, Heather went and shot with me, thank the Lord because she covered my hiney while I ran across town to borrow a camera.  Shooting with a friend makes everything twice as fun.  🙂

  Here are a FEW of the photos from the big day:

They didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, but we did talk them into this shot……  🙂
