The Wedding of Alexis and Jeff! BluOrchid Photography ~ Memphis Wedding Photographer

This is Alexis and Jeff. They have such an interesting story. They met each other at the church where they were married out in the playground (they met when they were children). They both grew up and went their separate ways. It was in the last few years that they found one another again and they knew that it was the love of a lifetime. I was so happy that they decided to include me in their day. Alexis is an artist herself and was very interested in our work...and I am thrilled that she "got" me! She planned a beautiful reception at the Memphis College of Art. I've not worked there before, but it was great! They had a gorgeous ceremony and a blast at the recpetion. I can't wait for them to see these....so here is a peek of many beautiful portraits to come! Love you guys!

I absolutely love it when the bride and groom see each other before the actual ceremony. It is so much more intimate....look at the looks on their faces as they saw each other for the first time.

The other cool part about seeing each other before is that you actually get to enjoy it. They were so comfortable and just really looked so in love, it was great to be part of that.





The church had amazing chandeliers! I love the sparkle of light over the ceremony.

Mr. Bryan! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion Children's Photographer

This is Mr. Bryan. He came to use a couple of years ago and it was time for some new photographs of this little fella! His "Na" (aka his grandmother) was so great to work with. She used all the bribes very appropriately! He was up for a ton of fun. One of his favorite things is his spiderman umbrella...we used that to help us get him having fun for the session. Then we switched gears and he rocked it out for me with his guitar! Last, we headed over and had some beautiful protraits made with him just being a boy! I loved this session...I had to run all over the place...but it was totally worth it! Have a look at some of my favs!

Baby Gavin by BluOrchid Photography ~ Memphis Baby Photographer

Meet Gavin! We did his parents fun maternity session not too long ago! They were fabulous with him! He came in about a week after he was born and did great for his first session! Really a sleepy guy and so cute! I love when clients bring their babies in this early! This is when we get all the really artistic poses and sleepy looks. See for yourself!

Sweet Baby Riley by BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Baby Photographer

This is Ms. Riley. She was supposed to arrive a little earlier than she did but she finally made her way here and her parents are simply in love with that sweet girl. It seems like my girls in the Bebe collection family are few and far between, but when they come, they just let me get all creative with my girly stuff. I knitted a few new hats and made a new tutu for this one....I just couldn't resist! She was only 10 days old when she came to see me and was just a sweetheart. She slept a lot and was just the most easy to pose baby ever! I was really pleased with her portraits and her parents couldn't have been prouder. They got a lovely canvas and an album from her session! Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
She has some serious eye lashes!

One of my cute new hats!




She has to be the world's youngest Memphis Tiger's fan!
